It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
"Dude!" Harry Styles exclaimed as he nudge his best friend, Niall Horan with his elbow, causing the younger lad to almost spill his hot chocolate he was holding in his hand to warm them up from the crisp December weather. The two best friends decided to hang out at their towns Christmas Carnival. They were currently standing at a coffee and tea stall of the carnival looking at the festivities happening. "Is that Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson over there?" Harry said pointing his finger towards the two boys who are laughing happily as they threw balls to glass bottles.
Niall looked at the direction where Harry was pointing out and indeed, Louis and Zayn were there. Louis cheering loudly as he won a teddy bear. Harry sighed dreamily as he watched Louis with big green eyes, as the older lad playfully punched Zayn's arm. Niall rolled his eyes at his best friend. Harry can be so obvious sometimes, he thought to himself.
His eyes landed on Zayn, and was shocked to see that Zayn too was looking at him with a faint smile on his lips. Niall's eyes grew wide before a squeak came from his lips as he realized that Zayn is coming towards their direction, Louis trailing behind. But his eyes were on Harry.
How cliché it is to have two best friends, crushing on two people, who are also best friends. Niall and Harry couldn't help it. Both Zayn and Louis were both attractive, but with different personalities. Louis being too loud and Zayn a bit more on the quieter side. But put them both together, they are bound to get in some sort of trouble. Partners in crime, really.
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
Niall abruptly spun around and began pulling on his hoodie and running his hands through his hair. He scratched the side of his righy eye, still getying used to wearing contacts. He much prefer wearing his big black rimmed glasses. "Liam, mate. Another cup of hot choco please," he said to his friend, Liam, to calm his nerves. "Coming right up, Nialler," said Liam as he poured some sweet smelling hot chocolate to a paper cup with a santa and a snowman printed to it. Niall smiled at it. He took a deep breath, smelling the rich smell of chocolate along with the smell of roasted chestnuts that linger in the air, letting the steam come through his nose, inside his lungs warming them up, before exhaling, causing a small fog to appear in his face.
He was so into his drink he handn't notice a person stand next to him, until they cleared their throat. Niall snapped his head towards the person and he almost took a step back at how close his face was towards Zayn mere seconds ago.
A small smirk appeared on Zayn's face as he saw the blonde fidgit and blush. He noticed how blue Niall's eyes were under the glow of the Christmas lights that hung in every stall and lamp posts and over the streets of the carnival, along with the neon lights of the rides and signs. "Hi," he said. "H-Hi," Niall squeaked before clearing his throat and saying a proper "Hi" without the stutter. Zayn smiled at Niall, biting his tongue to refrain himself from cooing at how adorable Niall looked tonight.
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe.
Zayn turned around so he was facing the carnival, resting his elbows and back onto the coffee stall. Niall doing the same, cupping his hands onto the paper cup, blowing off the steam of his hot chocolate so it wont burn his tongue when he sips it.
"Are you enjoying your time here tonight?" Zayn asked looking at Niall. "Y-Yeah," said Niall. "This years was actually better than the last, ya know. With more rides and stalls to play games and win prizes. Oh! And don't forget the food and coffee stalls," Niall laughed.
