Best men

Chapter 3

Harry. 

"Hey Curly, just came back from the date, would've rather spend my night with ya"

Harry raised his eyebrow, being a bit confused. He's already in bed, decided to watch a movie on his laptop before he goes to sleep. And then he got that text from Niall.

He isn't sure what this means, but he smiles widely nevertheless. They have texted a lot the last few days, and sometimes he feels like Niall's flirting a bit with him but he actually never said something like that before. He sighs, not sure what to send back.

He thinks about it for a while, what this could mean. Niall told him a couple of days ago that he was going on a date with Barbara. But he also said he didn't feel like going and that he probably wasn't gonna enjoy it that much anyway.

Harry sighs again before he types out a reply.

"Didn't you have fun with Barbara? I would like that as well :) xxxx." His fingers hover over his phone, not sure if he should add the extra xx in the end but he sends it anyway.

"Not at all. What are ya doing?  x" 

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm just lying in bed, was about to watch a movie .xxxx"

"Don't be sorry. Wish  I could watch the movie with ya. x"
 
Harry stares at Niall's answer for a bit, not sure what to think of this. He shrugs then and places his phone on the nightstand, not bothered to send anything back. He's not sure about what this means, but the fact Niall wishes he could be with him right now, gives him a really warm feeling and with that feeling he falls asleep, totally forgetting to watch that movie.  

 
NIALL.

They're still texting each other the whole next week, and the week after that, since Niall told Harry he wished he could watch that movie with him.

Niall had told Harry the whole story about his date, and how he was sure he didn't feel anything for Barbara. He didn't tell Harry how much he wanted to see him again soon, to get to know everything about the boy.

Luckily they text a lot, which Niall also really appreciates.  

He's at his work, behind his desk, working on some files, when his phone buzzes.

"Hi Ni! Did Liam already tell you about the upcoming meeting? They want us to come to Louis' pub on Friday because Lou wants to make them some kind of drink or something xxx."

Niall blushes slightly at the nickname Harry apparently gave him, and he gets a warm  feeling in his stomach from thinking he will see Harry soon again.

"So I'm Ni now ? Liam actually hasn't told me yet. Can't wait t see ya again ! x" 

He blushes a bit from the text he sent, but he doesn't care, wants Harry to know how he feels. It doesn't take long for Harry to reply.

"Can't wait to see you too, Ni :) .xxx"

Niall's quite happy when it's finally Friday. He took a shower after work and tries to find something to wear. He wants to look good, but after trying on several shirts, he still doesn't know what to wear. Until he sees a white-with-black-stripes shirt, at the back of his closet. It used to be his favourite shirt, but he totally forgot about it. He quickly pulls it on, checking himself in the mirror and then he realizes again why this used to be his favourite shirt. He decides on a light denim jeans with it, and his black vans, before he quickly styles his hair.

He rushes to the hallway and grabs his keys before he leaves his house. He's going to pick up Harry first, and then they'll walk to the pub together.
