One Direction Preferences

Meeting them for the first time

(T)

Harry:
You're out at a party with some friends. You just moved to London for a new job and made friends with some girls at work. Unfortunately, they were the only people you knew at this party and they seemed busy with some of the other people. You sat alone on the couch having a drink. All of a sudden, the place got loud as five boys walked in. Each one got more attractive as they walked into the room. The last one, a moppy haired brunette, shut the door behind him and took a good look around the room. It clicked. It was One Direction. Luckily, you'd had a few drinks and were feeling very relaxed, so you didn't fangirl in front of them. Instead, you got up to get another drink. You walked right past Harry, and caught him look you up and down. You smiled as you grabbed your drink to head back. On your way back to your spot on the couch, Harry reached out and grabbed your wrist. "Hello love," he said, confidently looking you over again, "What's your name?" "Y/N," you said, smiling, "and you're the one and only Harry Styles, right?" Harry laughed to himself "You're correct, love. So what are you doing here all alone? You are alone, aren't you?" and for the first time since you saw him, you noticed his confidence fade a bit. "Yep, I'm alone. And I'm new to the city, just kinda trying to meet people". "Well, I'm a person. It's lovely to meet you, Y/N" Harry said, giving you a cheeky grin. You smile at his confidence, there's nothing more attractive. "I must say, I didn't understand why you were sitting alone on the couch, but it has worked out in my favour. Care if I join you?" he says, grabbing your hand. "I'd love you to!" you say, as you lead him to the couch. You two spent the rest of the night talking and getting to know each other. Even though you never left the couch, you are pretty sure you had more fun than anyone else that night. Before you left, you gave Harry your number and you uplater that week.

Liam:
Working as a receptionist at a radio station is not as exciting as it sounds. Most of your time is spent reading gossip magazines. But today was going to be different. Today, One Direction was coming to the station and, because there were five of them, your boss asked you to be there if they needed anything. Basically, you were going to get the coffee if they wanted it. But hey, anything's better than just sitting at your desk reading about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's divorce. When the boys showed up, you stood up to greet them, "Hi guys! I'm Y/N and I am going to be hanging around and making sure you guys are comfortable and everything". As you spoke, you noticed Liam in the back staring at you. It actually made you a little uncomfortable. You shook it off and walked the guys upstairs. Niall asked you for a bottle of water and Harry asked you for gum. Nothing to exciting beyond that. But you did notice Liam continuing to look at you through the interview. At the end, you walked the boys to the door. As you waved goodbye and thanked them, Niall pushed Liam towards you, accidentally knocking you into the door. "I am so sorry, it was h-" Liam turned to point to Niall who had already started getting in the van. "It's alright," you said smiling, "it's not every day a cute guy bumps into me. I should be considered lucky!" Liam blushed and smiled "Well, did you maybe want to get together if you felt like it later?" You couldn't help but smile at how uncomfortable and shy he was. "Sure! I'd love that!" you ran inside, grabbed a pen and wrote your number out on a scrap of paper. "Talk to you later, Y/N" Liam said as he got in the car. You waved goodbye as you hear your phone 'ding' in your pocket.

Louis:
You were at the mall, looking for some new clothes with some friends. You wanted to go into H&M but all your friends wanted to go for ice cream. You told them you'd catch up, and you went into H&M. It was busier than usual, but you really needed a new blazer, so you dealt with feeling like a sardine. You picked out three blazers to try on, and a cute t-shirt, and went to the fitting rooms. You tried on the first blazer and despised it. The second blazer was too tight and you didn't like the way the shirt fit on your chest. Feeling discouraged, you didn't want to bother trying on the last blazer. You were about to leave when you figured you'd give it a go. It could be the one you've been looking for. You tried it on but you couldn't tell if you liked it in the small mirror in the change room. You stepped out to look in the big mirrors. As you stood pulling and turning in the blazer, you heard a young man pipe up behind you, "I really like that blazer on you, love. You should get it." You turned to face Louis. Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. You immediately felt your cheeks redden as he chuckled. "Seriously, you should get that blazer. It looks brilliant on you." "Thanks, I think I will" you say as you take the blazer off. You go to walk out and he puts a hand out, blocking you in. "So, umm, do you have a name or should I just call you beautiful?" You rolled your eyes and smiled "Its Y/N". "Nice to meet you, Y/N. So do you have anything else to do today?" "I am supposed to go meet friends for ice cream when I'm done here, but..." "But you can text them and cancel and let me take you for lunch?" Louis smiled, as you pulled out your phone. "I'm sure they'd understand this one time" as you texted your friends. You went, paid for the blazer, and headed to lunch with Louis.

Niall:
You were out walking in the park. Your friends had all gone to a club but you just weren't feeling up to it. That brought you to the park, at night, alone. You knew it wasn't the smartest choice, but you didn't think anything would happen. As you walked around a fountain, heading home, you noticed a group of guys following you. You walked faster, but the boys were on your heels before you knew it. "Hey sweetie, what are you doing walking out here all alone?" said one of the boys, stepping in front of you. Before you could even answer, another one piped up "Yeah babe, where's your boyfriend to protect you?" You managed to mutter "Leave me alone" before one of the boys grabbed your arm. You started pulling away and the boy let you go, letting you fall into another boy's arms. You counted five guys standing in a circle around you. You screamed at the top of your lungs. You hear an Irish accent calling over the group's laughter "Leave her alone!" The boys laugh even louder, turning to find two guys standing to their five. You knew right away it was Niall Horan and Liam Payne from One Direction, but that didn't matter much now. Then that Irish accent chimed in again "Listen buddy," he says firmly as he pokes one of the boy's chest, "We're in a band, and our bodyguards are right down there. Now you're dumb if you think I'm leaving you alone with her and you're even dumber if you wait." The boys look at each other and the one holding you releases you. The boys take off. You start to cry and Niall takes you into his arms. He strokes your hair as he walks you to the main street. You start to calm down and Niall asks your name. "Y/N" you choke out between tears. You manage to get out where you live and Niall and Liam walk you there. By the time you get home, you're feeling better. Niall gives you his number and tells you to call in the morning. You don't wait, and call him that night to thank him and make plans to hang out soon.

Zayn:
You managed to score great tickets to Chris Brown's concert. You're (pretty much) front row and you happen to know that Zayn Malik is also going to this concert. You follow all the One Direction tracker twitters and that just added to your excitement. Though you figured you wouldn't see him. What are the chances of him seeing you out of the thousands that will be there? Either way, you make sure you dress your best and head to the concert with your best friend. You're right at the front and could reach up and touch the stage as you wait for Chris to come out. As you settle in with your friend, a boy comes and stands next to you. Because it's so packed, you bump into him trying while he pushes in. You turn and give him an apologetic smile when you notice who it is. Zayn is standing right next to you. I guess your chances were better than you thought. He smiles at you and puts his finger to his lip asking you to keep quiet about him being there. You oblige, and he asks your name. "Its Y/N, nice to meet you" you smile. Inside you're freaking out, but you're trying to play it cool. Then, the lights dim and Chris Brown comes out. You and your friend start dancing around and Zayn can't help but laugh about how much of a free spirit you are. You notice him laughing, and you grab his hand and make him dance with you. The song ends and you and Zayn stand looking at each other, laughing. The acoustic guitar of 'With You' starts, and Zayn smiles as he wraps his arms around your waist. You lean in to him and you two slow dance to the song. The rest of the concert you two hold hands, and as Chris thanks the crowd you turn to Zayn, grab his hand and write you number on his palm.
