how you meet

ALL OF THE BOYS!!!
(Y/F) MEANS YOUR FRIEND!)
(E/N) MEANS EX'S NAME.
(Y/G) MEANS YOUR GENDER!
HARRY:
you met Harry at a one direction concert. your first one! you got pretty good seats too, a couple rows from front stage. you were talking to your friend beside you, flabbergasted at the spot you got when the boys came out. you and (Y/F) cheered for them and the show went on smoothly. that is until Harry messed up the beginning of MM. looking at you from the stage, he went near mute. his thoughts consisted of 'holy shit they're beautiful.' and 'i really want to talk to them.' and so he did. after the show of course. he got back on track, but not after telling security about you. once the show was over, a tall, older guy came up to you and said 'come with me please.' and you did. telling your friend you'll be back in a bit. everything was explained to you and you felt your heart race, nervous and excited to meet your favorite artist. Harry came out to you and his first words to you were 'hello, im Harry.' he realised how dumb that sounded and stuttered about how he saw you and needed to just talk with you. you cut him off of his rambling and said 'thank you Harry. I'd love to talk with you.' all he did was smile and bring you into a gentle hug. from then on you'd gone to every concert with him. his concerts as a single artist were fantastic and you couldnt be happier with where you are.

LOUIS:
you met Louis at a meet and greet. One Direction era. you saved up for months on end to meet the boys and thank them for everything they've done for you and others. you were very excited to thank Louis, he really impacted your life in the most amazing way. he's a goofy lad but he is very sincere and you couldn't appreciate it enough it felt like. so this was the perfect opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings. tell him in person! that's crazy to think.  about. you had just gotten dressed into some comfy but presentable clothes and were off. in the line waiting for your turn! there wasn't many people so it was basically almost your turn. you fidgeted a bit and heard a loud 'NEXT!' looking up, you realised that YOU were next. you walked up and were greeted with a 'hello' from Liam and Zayn and an immediate double hug from Harry and Niall. you smiled and hugged them back before hugging the other two. you finally got to Louis and he pulled you into a comfy bear hug you basically melted in. 'hi love, how are you?' he asked with pure interest. you stuttered a little bit but responded with 'im g-great! amazing actually! thank you for asking.' and looked down shyly. the boys all nodded and hummed in an agreement of appreciation. you sat down and rambled to them all about how thankful you are and they listened with smiles on their faces. 'and Louis, i want to thank you from an odd personal level. sounds a bit weird, but youve helped me a lot and i am forever greatful to have found you. youre my inspiration and my idol and im just so thankful for you.' he grinned and hugged you again, rubbing your back and responding with 'thats not weird at all. that's actually very sweet. thank you for sharing with me darling. im glad to have helped you in any way.' 'would you like to grab some lunch with me?' he asked 'right now?' 'yes. there's nobody else here and I'd love to get to know you. please?' he sort of pouted. and you couldn't say no, you wouldn't! so you nodded and left with him to share some more. you go to his shows now and smile at the memories of it all. incredibly proud of him.

ZAYN:
you met Zayn at one of his shows as a single artist! you didn't know of One Direction before you met him. you were a fairly new fan so you just listened to his music a ton and decided a concert would start off your learning about him as a fan. the show started and it was incredible! he performed amazingly! once it ended you left the venue with a big smile on your face. merch was outside and you decided to get something after most people left the place. you walked up to the booth to look and heard a voice that sounded all too familiar. looking over, you see him and gasp a little, he must be checking to see if everythings alright with security and stuff you thought. as youre looking at the options of what to get you hear over your shoulder 'the sweatshirt would look excellent on you.' you grab it and look up smiling 'thank you. i'll get it then.' 'if you don't mind me asking, why are you out here in open area like this? not to sound rude, but isn't it like a hazard?' he laughed and responded with 'yeah, it can be. but i love to meet everyone. and besides, my security team is right there.' he said pointing to the squad. you looked over and laughed lightly. 'yeah, i guess youre right.' you said admiring his sense of humor. 'thank you for caring,..?' '(Y/N)' '(Y/N), that's a cute name.' he subtlety flirted wanting to keep conversation with you. you thanked him for a second time and he asked for your number after a while of conversation. you obviously agreed and hit it off pretty well. now you both help each other musically and personally.

LIAM:
you met Liam at a party with some friends of yours. one had a connection with him somehow. you of course thought it was odd since he's famous and such. and truth be told, you were a fan. not a crazy stalker or anything, but you liked him in the band. He was very talented in your eyes and you appreciated his talent. 'he's almost here guys! (Y/N) are you excited?' (Y/F) asked, holding out the word to tease you. you blushed and didn't respond because you knew they were joking. a knock at the door knocked you out of your trance of anxiety and how things are going to go. it was just a small get together but still, you think of him in a different light from everyone else. he came in and talked to everyone except you. introducing himself to some and catching up with others. he saw you and excused himself from his previous conversation, wanting to know who you were. 'hey' he started. you looked up and smiled slightly, nervous about messing something up. 'hi' you replied 'whats your name? i don't think we've met.' he asked. '(Y/N).' you answered fidgeting a bit. he smiled saying 'thats a really cool name! i like that a lot.' 'thank you. you have a pretty cool name aswell.' 'even better because youre famous yeah?' he laughed a little noticing the joking tone in your voice. 'yeah, its nice to be known. but i do like some privacy at times. im just a guy at the end of the day.' he said. 'i get that.' 'thank you.' he smiled. you two have chatted ever since. becoming important to one another quite quickly. your relationship is very understanding and strong even today.

NIALL:
you met Niall at Nandos, funny being his favorite restaurant. you were there with some friends, catching up and such. you were getting a call and rolled your eyes at who it was, your dumbass ex. you excused yourself and went outside to take the call. 'what do you want (E/N)?' you asked annoyed. you both went back and forth arguing nonsense and Niall heard this bickering, knowing from experience it wasn't a good conversation. he felt bad and wanted to help you out, so he walked up to you and said 'hey (princess/prince/baby), who are you on the phone with?' you saw him and went into a slight shock. i mean, Niall Horan just petnamed you and is helping you? you assume.. you take a second before responding and he takes the phone from you giving you a small smile and a finger indicating he'll be done doing whatever soon. 'hello, this is (Y/N's) boyfriend(he overheard your name btw!). please stop calling (Y/G)(YOUR GENDER!). if you do again, you'll regret it.' he stated and hung up. your eyes are wide at the fact he called himself YOUR boyfriend. was this real life? 'sorry love, i just recognized that kind of call and had to help you out. i know how annoying and stressful those calls can get.' he said handing back your phone. 'n-no! thank you actually. thank you so much! i would have never been able to do that on my own.' you responded. 'im glad i could help.' 'would you like to go somewhere and chat?' 'of course!' you said and went to tell your friends you'd be leaving. you went to a nearby park and shared things you didn't think you could with someone else. you felt cared for and comfortable. you two are a beautiful and known couple now.
