Niall Centric One-Shots

Sandwiches

A.N.: Thank you Flame_Surfer for the prompt!

It's two-fucking-in-the-morning, and Niall doesn't know why Harry's standing in his doorway, biceps the size of his thighs crossed over his chest and angry eyes. Niall can't see all of his face, only his eyes, and lips, and both of those are strung up in an angry manner. He's visibly huffing and throwing an internal tantrum, and it scares the shit out of Niall when he first sees Harry standing there.

At first glance, Niall thinks Harry's going to murder him right then and there, but as time passes he realizes that Harry doesn't know he's awake and staring back.

The air in the room feels harrowing and empty as Harry continues to loom in his doorway, and Niall almost reaches for his phone to call the police, but this is his boyfriend for Christ's sake. Niall watches as Harry huffs and pouts in his direction, like a child trying to catch his mum's attention. Niall can hear Harry staring at him.

"Harry?" Niall asks still in his groggy haze, and Harry noticeably twitches in the doorway.

Harry doesn't say a word, he just turns down the hallway, threatening stature and angry eyes disappearing around the corner, and then Harry slams his door shut.

Niall's thoroughly confused as to why Harry's acting like a PMSing serial killer, but he lets the thought rest as he falls back asleep.

Harry's not his usual self, and Niall knows this. He notices the way Harry avoids all contact from Niall, and he hears the way Harry puts emphasis on what he likes and dislikes on his sandwich when Niall's around.

Is this about a fucking sandwich?

Niall's prepared to ask the younger boy, but all he does wave a hand at Niall's open mouth and unspoken inquiries, and saunters away.

Liam catches the way Narry is acting, but he doesn't say anything. He crosses his legs and continues to order lunch, oblivious to the fact that this fight might actually be over the sandwich he's ordering.

Niall doesn't get the chance to try and work things out because Harry's always avoiding him at all costs.

He refuses to sit next to his smaller boyfriend, he talks to Louis at every moment Niall walks into the room - the Larry ship has miraculously been reanimated, he sits far from Niall's favorite places to sit; the only time Niall is actually close to Harry is during an interview, but Zayn is in between them.

Zouis seems oblivious to the death stares and confused eyes, but Liam catches every interaction between the two, and he's about ready to play couple counselor, but his train of thought is interrupted when the interviewer asks a question about his smoking habits.

Niall continues to give Harry confused, pleading looks that would usually make Harry give in, but Harry's got this barrier of death threats and stony glares.

Niall's close to giving up.

Three of the five boys are sitting in the living room, Zouis is out to retrieve the Mexican takeout they've ordered, when Niall almost snaps.

He's in the kitchen getting a soda when Harry glances in his direction, "Liam, do you know what I like on my sandwiches?"

Liam glances at Niall and then back at Harry, confusion and fear of angering both of them in his brown iris', but he hesitantly nods anyways.

"Good."

Niall slams the soda down on the countertop, ignoring the shower of soda that dots his shirt, and flails his arms in the air, "What the fuck did I do to your goddamn sandwich?!"
