*Louis’ POV*
June 18th, 2008 -meeting
I’m going to be so late, I thought as I pushed the lift button. My dentist will kill me.
The doors opened within seconds. I stepped to the side to let an older man leave the small space, then walked into the lift. I noticed a boy, no older than fifteen, standing in the lift. I pushed the button indicating what floor I was going to. After that, I may or may not have stood too close to the boy, considering the fact that there could have been about three feet between us rather than the foot there is now.
Out of nowhere, the lift started shaking. It came to a sudden stop and the boy and I crashed into each other.
“Oh god. I’m sorry.” I said, trying to steady myself with the help of the wall.
“It’s okay. It’s the elevator’s fault.” The boy said. He’s Irish! “I’m Niall by the way.” He greeted and stuck out his hand. I shook it and said,
“I’m Louis.” We pulled our hands away. Then I realised that the lift wasn’t moving. “Do you think the lift stopped working?” I asked.
“Like it’s not moving? How are we going to get out? I’m claustrophobic. I can’t be in here. Oh, why didn’t I take the stairs.” He started gasping for air, “We’re never getting out of here.”
“Niall, we’ll be-“
“The elevator is going to break and we are going to crash to our deaths.”
“I don’t thi-“
“Or, or the walls are going to crush us! Yeah. The walls are going to crush us. I can feel them closing in already!”
“Niall!” I shouted. He stopped ranting and look at me with frightened eyes. “We’re going to be fine. Someone will come and fix the lift and we’ll be free to go. Now, I want you to take a deep breath and relax. We are going to be okay.” I placed my hand lightly on his shoulder and breathed with him.
~Three hours later~
“How much longer are we going to be in here for?” Niall whined.
“Well, we’ve been in here for about three hours. How long ago did you push the emergency button?” I asked.
“I thought you pushed the button.” He said slowly. I smacked my head with the palm of my hand and stood up from my position on the floor to press the button that alerted the building that we were stuck. About fifteen minutes later the lift doors opened and we walked out.
“It was nice to meet you, Niall.”
At this time, the sound of clicking heels was heard from down the hallway. When the heel clickers turned the corner, I realised that it was my mum and a lady I’ve never seen before.
“Yeah, you too. Hey, why don’t I give you my phone number?” Niall suggested. I nodded and handed him my phone. My mum and the lady with her finally reached us when my phone was handed back to me.
“What happened?” They asked in unison. I could detect an Irish accent in the woman’s voice. She must be Niall’s mum.
“We got stuck in the lift.” I said.
“For three hours!” Niall exclaimed.

June 26th, 2008 -coming out(to each other)
“Okay but why was the quarter in you ear? Niall questioned me over the phone, out of breath because he was laughing too hard.
“I was trying to do a magic trick and couldn’t get it out.” I answered.
“Wow, your girlfriend must love that story.”
“Um, Niall? I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m gay.” I said awkwardly.
“Oh, Lou, I’m sorry. I-I just assumed-“
“It’s okay, Ni. Really.” I assured.
“Well, I’m gay too. If that helps anything.” I could tell he had a small smile on his face.
I laughed.

November 21st, 2013 -first date
Hey, Ni! Do you want to come over?
Where’s Harry?
He’s busy and I want my best
friend to be here
But why would I want to spend my precious time with you?
Because you love me 🙂 be here at eight.
Read 7:18 pm
Okay you got me there. Be there soon
-Approximately 43 minutes later-
“Hey, Niall! C’mon take your shoes off.” I said excitedly. I waited the fourteen seconds (but who’s counting!?) it took for Niall to take his shoes and coat off.
“Okay, what are we doing?” Niall asked. I smiled at him and took his hand so I could drag him to my basement. In my basement I had set up a huge couch, big enough for six people(or nine if you tried hard enough) to sit and have their feet up, and had a 72 inch flat screen TV in front of it. “Woah.” He said in amazement.
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” I said and I swung our, now, intertwined hands. I really like Niall, but I’m not sure if he likes me back. Sure, we teasingly flirt with each other at times, yet I cannot distinguish between friendly flirting and real flirting. I pulled him over to the couch, let his hand go, and climbed onto the couch. He climbed on after me.
I picked up the television remote. I went onto Netflix then handed the remote to Niall.
That was a mistake.
“Must we watch The Exorcist?” I asked. “I heard that that movie was extremely scary.”
“You’ve never seen it? It’s one of my favourite movies! You need to watch it.” And with that, the movie started
~one terrifying movie later~
“The movie wasn’t that scary right, Lou?” Niall asked. I didn’t respond as my face was tucked between my knees. “Oh c’mon, Louis.” Niall laughed. I felt the couch move as he slid himself closer to me. He lay his head on my shoulder. Luckily for me, my face was hidden, so he couldn’t see my blush. “Don’t make me tickle you.” He threatened. I immediately picked my head up.
“No, no. That is not necessary.” I said as I moved my legs and lied my head on his. We stayed like that for about a minute or two and neither of us moved during that time until Niall slowly, yet surely, moved his hand onto mine. My reaction was probably too quick as I turned my hand over to properly hold his hand. But he didn’t seem to mind. A few more minutes passed where we just sat there, the low hum on the television was the only sound. I eventually broke the silence. “So, what should we watch next?”
“You pick. I need to use the bathroom. Is the one down here still broken?”
“Yeah. You can use the one up by my room.”
“Okay. I’ll be right back.” He said as he got up off the couch and walked out of the basement. Before I started looking for something to watch, I grabbed a large blanket from the closest and got back on the couch. I picked up the remote and scrolled through the selection of titles on the screen. I finally settle on an American tv show called Suite Life on Deck. Now I’m waiting for Niall to return.
About a minute or two later, I felt the couch dip as Niall jumped on it. I laughed at him as he struggled to get into a sitting position. He ended up sitting extremely close to me; almost on top of me.
“So this is what you chose for us to watch?” He questioned.
“Well, duh. It’s only the best show ever.” I say as if it was the most obvious thing ever. Niall chuckled and shook his head.
“If you say so.”
~hours later~
“C’mon, Niall, one more episode. Please.” I begged.
“Louis, it’s almost one o’clock in the morning.” He looked so tired. It was kinda adorable.
“And? You’re allowed to stay over, right? It’s not like we have school or anything.” I questioned. He groaned, but eventually agreed. We were about half way through the episode when Niall yawns, stretches his arms, and wraps one of his arms around my shoulders. I roll my eyes at his cheesy move, but I cuddle into it anyway. It’s times like these that make me wonder if he likes me back.

November 23rd, 2013 -ending the stunt
Louuuueeeeeh
I’m bored.
ANSWER ME
I CAN SEE THAT YOU’RE READING THESE.
Are you okay?
Are you dead?
I’m not dead Niall.
Okay good cuz I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Oh c’mon Lou! Please answer me
Harry and I broke up…
Oh, Louis. I’m so sorry. What happened? Do I need to fight someone?
No ha um, I actually broke up with him.
Oh. Why? You two seemed happy together.
I think I like someone else.
😧 who?!?
Can’t say. What if they don’t like me back?
Louis, I’m sure that whoever it is will like you back. If they don’t then it’s their loss! Any guy would be so lucky to have you!
Thanks Niall 😌

November 27th, 2013 -first kiss
“Louis. The Horans are here.” My mum called. “Or just Niall?” I walk out of the living room, to the front door where Niall was taking his coat and shoes off.
“My parents will be here soon. They both got stuck in traffic.” Niall said. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. “Hey, Lou.”
“I’m going to finish cooking. We should be eating in about thirty to forty-five minutes. You boys can go into the living room if you like.” My mum said, then proceeded to walk to the kitchen.
~after dinner~
“Wanna go up to my room?” I asked. He nodded and followed me upstairs. I allowed him to walk into my bedroom first and closed the door behind myself.
“Your mother makes the best food.” Niall commented as he threw himself onto my bed. I copied his actions and lay next to him. “Thanksgiving is almost my favourite holiday.”
“Really? I prefer Christmas, for obvious reasons.” I countered. We sat up. I grabbed his hand and started playing with his fingers.
“Oh yeah. Your birthday is in a month! What do you want?” Now this is where I’m confused. I don’t remember if I started leaning in or if he was leaning, but I do know that we kept talking.
“Hmm. I’m not sure yet.” He looked from my eyes, to my lips, and back to my eyes. Closer.
“Maybe I’ll just have to surprise you.” His head tilted the slightest bit. I felt my eyes fluttering shut. Closer.
“Maybe.” Bam. We were kissing. It wasn’t even a small peck. Some would say we were in a heated snogging session. But we weren’t. Yes, it was fast and maybe a bit sloppy, but it definitely wasn’t snogging.
I placed my hand on his cheek in an attempt to slow him down; and it worked. After several seconds, we both had to pull away for air. I rested my forehead against his.
“Niall, we’re leaving now. Come down stairs.” Niall’s mum called. This interruption caused us to pull away from each other.
“I-i have to go now.” He stuttered. I nodded, unable it look him in the eye. He sighed then stood up and walked out of my room.
We didn’t hug, I thought. We always hugged, from every time we saw each other to every time one of us left. Except for this time. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal and I don’t know why it feels like one. It was just something we always did.
There was a knock on my door; it’s probably my mum. I get off my bed and walk over to the door and opened it. Niall.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around my waist. Without hesitation I hugged him back.
“Sorry I almost forgot, Lou.” He whispered. In response, I hugged him harder. After a few minutes we pulled away. I run my hands down his arms and take both of his hands into my own.
“It’s okay.” I said, a small smile appearing onto my face. “I’ll see you later, Niall.”
“Bye, Louis.” He gave my hands a squeeze before leaving.
~later~
I’m sorry.
What are you sorry for?
Kissing you. You just got out of a relationship and I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you. 😕
Ni, I know that you would never take advantage of anyone. And, for the record, I am over Harry. I’m ready to move on with my life.

December 24th, 2013 -confession of feelings
“Do you have to go to Ireland?” I whine. Today’s my birthday, and Christmas Eve (but more importantly my birthday), and Niall just told me that he is going to Ireland to spend the holiday with his extended family. We were in his room now because he wanted to spend time with me before he left.
“Yeah, sadly I do. Maybe there will be some cute guys there.” He laughed.
One could be right under your f-cking nose, I thought. But, apparently, I thought out loud.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“Oh, um, nothing. Just that the perfect guy could be right in front of you, basically right under your nose.” I said with slight irritation in my voice. How is this kid so oblivious!?
“I don’t get what you’re trying to say, Louis.” He said slowly, catching on to my irritation.
“Oh my f-cking god, Niall! How oblivious are you? I like you! I’ve liked you since I met you!” I raised my voice.
“But what about Harry? If you liked me then why did you date him?” He asked.
“I never actually dated Harry! He’s straight. I just faked it to make you jealous. And when we kissed on Thanksgiving, I felt like things were finally going my way. It was one of the best days of my life. Until you apologised. That killed me. It made me feel- I don’t know- like you didn’t like me, that you regretted it. I still don’t know if you like me, Niall. If you don’t, it’s fine I can get over it; I can get over you. I just need to know.” A tear rolled down my cheek and my voiced cracked.
“Louis, I had no idea you felt this way. But now that I do…” He trailed off. He stepped towards me. He placed a hand on my cheek, wiped away my tear trail, and kissed me. This kiss was slow and passionate, unlike our first kiss. Niall moved his arms around my neck to pull me closer and I wrapped my arms around his middle and moved him so there was little to no space between us. The kiss remained slow and full of emotion. A phone rang. It wasn’t my phone because mine was downstairs. We disconnected our lips and he took his phone out of his back pocket.
“It’s my mum.” He said before he answered the phone. “Hi mum… I thought we were leaving tonight… An hour!?… Alright… Bye.” He hung up. He sighed before sliding his phone in his pocket and wrapping is arm back around me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked. He looked at me for a few seconds before he responded.
“Um, we had a flight at seven o’clock tonight, but it was cancelled so the only other available flight for today is in two hours and I need to be packed and ready in an hour. I’m sorry, Louis. It’s your birthday and I wanted to spend time with you.”
“It’s okay, Niall. We still have an hour. Let me help you pack.” I said reassuringly. He smiled and responded with a small ‘okay’.
~45 minutes later~
“Done.” Niall says as he zips up his suit case. I walk up to him, wrap my arms around his waist, and lay my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer. We stand there for a while, just like that. We stayed like that until Niall’s phone started ringing again.
“Aren’t you going to answer that?” I asked after the phone rang about five times and Niall made absolutely no effort to answer it. He just groaned and hugged me tighter, as if it was actually possible.
“It’s most likely my mum telling me that she’s here.” he said.
“Another reason why you should have answered.” I pulled back to look at him. He kisses my nose, causing me to blush.
“Alright. Let’s go.” He lifts the suitcase off the bed and sets it on the floor. I grab his hand and start to walk out of his room. He stops me just before we get to the front door. “Hey, Lou. I have a question.”
“I might have an answer.”
“What are you doing for New Year’s Eve? We’re probably going to be back around seven on the 31st.”
“I think I’m going to Harry’s party. He’s been begging me for the past few days. He wants me to be there at five to help set up.” I explained.
“Well then I’ll go there right when I get back. Harry invited me so it’s not like I’ll be crashing his party.”
“Well, Harry will probably be drunk by seven so you wouldn’t have to be worried about crashing the party.” I laughed. Niall smiled at me and rested his forehead against mine. I think he was going to kiss me but the ring of his phone stopped him.
“We’ll continue this on New Years.” He whispered.
///////
December 31st, 2013 -New Years kiss
I’ve been pacing around some room, probably a guest bedroom, for about an hour waiting for Niall. Right now it’s 11:57, three minutes until midnight. I tried calling him but it kept going straight to voicemail so either his phone is dead or he’s ignoring me. Let’s hope it’s the first one. I checked the time it see that two minutes had passed. One more until midnight and Niall still isn’t here. I can hear the people downstairs starting to countdown.
51, 50, 49, 48, 47
Suddenly, Niall stumbles into the room. I’m so excited that he barely closes the door before I’m tackling him in a hug.
30, 29, 28, 27, 26
“Hi, Louis.” He says.
“I didn’t think you were going to make it.”
19, 18, 17, 16, 15
“Me neither. But I’m here now.”
10, 9, 8, 7, 6
We were smiling.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
We smashed our lips together as people downstairs cheered and fireworks exploded into the air. But right now I was completely focused on Niall and I. Focused to point where everything seemed to freeze and it was just us living in the moment.
“Happy New Year.” I said in between kisses.

Kayy 💕💕😍
Read 2:13 am
Almost instantly my Irish prince comes to my rescue.
“Hey babe!” I yell over the music. When he walks over to me, I basically fall into his arms in an attempt to hug him.
“Ugh, Louis. What have you been eating?” He laughs as he tries to stand me up.
“Are you making fun of my weight?” I say, truly offended. Now, Niall is trying to help me walk out the door without falling on my face.
“Of course not, Louis. Your body is absolutely perfect.” He responds. Smart boy.
“I know it is.” I say sassily. Eventually, we make it to his car and he helps me get into the passenger seat and puts my seat belt on. The next thing I know we are walking into my house. He guides me upstairs to my bedroom. When he closes the door my actions get the best of me and I lean in to kiss him. He stops me and I pout.
“I don’t think that’s the best idea, Louis.” He says carefully.
“Why not? I thought you liked me.”
“I do. Believe me, Louis, I really do. But you’re drunk and I’m not going to kiss you when you’re drunk.” He helps me sit down on my bed.
“You’re so caring, Niall.” I smile as he starts handing me clothes to change into. “I don’t think I can change. I think you need to help me.” I grin deviously, although I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach. He rolls his eyes playfully and takes off my shirt. I stop him before he puts a new shirt on me.
“What’s wrong, Lou?” he asked. I placed my hands on my stomach, and looked at him. “Let’s get you to the bathroom.” he carefully helped me off the bed and to my bathroom. As soon as I was in front of the toilet, I began to empty the contents of my stomach. Niall runs his hand up and down my back and says words of encouragement over my wrenching sounds.
When I was sure I was done, I reached up to flush the toilet and cautiously stood up. I grip the counter as I walk over to the sink. While I’m taking out my toothbrush and toothpaste, Niall comes up behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and places his chin on my shoulder. His hands were cold against my bare skin. This causes me to shiver and drop my toothbrush. I peek at the mirror and notice that Niall was smiling at me.
“Do I make you that nervous?” He laughed.
“N-no. It just- I’m- um, I mean- drunk still- a little, I think.” I choked.
“Want help?” I shook my head and proceeded to brush my teeth. Niall kept his arms around me. I wonder if he knows how badly I want to kiss him. Well I guess it would be a little weird right now because my mouth is full of toothpaste. I finish rinsing my mouth and Niall helps guide me back to my bedroom.
“Well that was embarrassing.” I said as I sat on my bed.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, Lou. Now, let’s get you dressed.” He grabs a shirt and slips it on me. I look down and realize that I still have to change my pants. I look back up at Niall and smirk. “I am not taking your pants off.” He states strictly.
“Oh well. I guess I’m sleeping in skinny jeans. Let’s hope that tingling thigh syndrome isn’t real.” I try to use negative reinforcement. He huffs and removes my shoes, which he must have not had a chance to do when we walked in.
“Okay, Lou, I’m going to need you to stand up.” He instructed. As soon as I stood up I had to lean against him. “I have pictured this happening so many times, but I never expected it to happen like this.” He laughed awkwardly as he unbuttoned my jeans.
“You’ve pictured this before?” I question as he pulls my jeans down. He tells me to sit on the bed again so he can finish taking my jeans off. I laugh maybe a little bit too hard at that. He directs me to stand up once more to pull up the sweatpants he picked out for me.
“Done.” He breathes. I smile and kiss his cheek, then his jaw, then his neck. I was about to kiss is collar bone when he stopped me.
“Why’d you stop me? You’re not kissing me, I’m kissing you.” I frown.
“Louis, I don’t want you to do anything you’ll regret. I think you should sleep. It’s half two and you’re going to have a killer hangover in the morning.”
“I’ll go to sleep, but only if you sleep with me. Not, like, sex. Actually sleeping.” I giggled and fell onto my bed. I moved so one, I was near the pillows, and two, Niall could lie with me.
“I guess I have no choice.” He smiled.
“Nope.” I said as he lied down. He pulled the blanket over the both of us and held his arms open for me. I take his offer and snuggle into him. “Oh, so you’ll cuddle me, but you won’t kiss me?”
“Cuddling and kissing are two completely different things, Louis. Now please go to sleep.” I don’t respond and instead close my eyes. I feel him move his hand to my hair and he starts running his fingers through; something he knows that puts me to sleep. I quickly fall asleep, but not before Niall lightly kissed my forehead and whispered something I didn’t understand.
~9:28 am~
I woke up to the feeling that someone was staring at me. When I opened my eyes, I was momentarily blinded by the sun. Then, I noticed that Niall was in fact staring at me.
“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” I whisper.
“I already have enough pictures of that thing you call a face.” He says jokingly. I smile and lean in to kiss him. “Um. Morning breath.”
“F-ck morning breath. If you’re going to be my boyfriend, you should get use to it.”
“Was that your lame attempt of asking me to your boyfriend?” He asked.
“Maybe?” I blushed.
“Of course, Lou. I’ll be your boyfriend.”
///////
January 26th, 2014 -coming out to parents
“Have I ever told how much I love your room?” I questioned as Niall closes his bedroom door.
“Yes. Quite a few times, actually.” He informed and sat down on his bed. I smiled walking over to him and straddled him. He smiled back at me. I cupped his face in my hands and leaned down and peck his lips then pulled away to look at him.
“I love being able to just kiss you. You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to be able to do that.” I kiss him again, but this one keeps going. After about a minute or two of plain old kissing, I tentatively swipe my tongue across his bottom lip. He grants entrance almost immediately. I shyly slide my tongue into his mouth. That action triggered a fast-paced snogging session that we both lost control of. The kiss could have turned into something more if…
“Niall, have you seen my- Oh my goodness!” Niall’s mum exclaimed as she walked into the room. Niall and I broke apart and I may or may not have fallen onto the floor. “Sorry, boys.” She said before exiting the room.
“Well that was unfortunate.” I stated. Niall started laughing, mostly at my fall. “Stop laughing at me and help me up.” I order. He stands up and grips my outstretched hand and pulls me up.
“I’m sorry she walked in on us. I keep telling her to knock, but she clearly doesn’t listen.”
“It’s fine, Niall. Why don’t we go talk to her? You could properly introduce me as your boyfriend, yeah?” I suggest. He agrees and intertwines our fingers and we walk to his Mum’s bedroom. When we arrive at the door, we hear her talking on the phone. Niall signals me to be quiet as we listen to the conversation.
“I swear, Jay. I saw them with my own two eyes… Yeah and they seemed pretty into it too… So how long do you thing they’ve been together?… Really? You think they’d keep that big of a secret from us for two months?… Yeah, no, I think it much more recent. We all know Niall can’t keep a secret for more than three weeks.” That’s when Niall opens the door. “Oh they’re here now… Okay bye Jay.” She hangs up the phone. “Hello boys.”
“Hey ma can we talk to you?” Niall asked.
“Of course.”
“Well, uh, I guess I start with: this is Louis, my boyfriend.” He stuttered.
“Hello, ‘Louis the Boyfriend’. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” His mum walks over to me and gives me a hug. I hug back, obviously, but only with one arm since the other was occupied by Niall. “So how long have you two been together?” She asked after pulling away from the hug.
“Since the 2nd of this month.” I said proudly.
///////
January 31st, 2014 -coming out to friends
Niall and I are currently on Niall’s bed sitting across from each other.
“So what did you want to talk about?” He asked.
“I-I think I want to go to college.” I say quietly, looking at my lap and playing with my fingers. Niall grabs my hands and rubs his thumbs across my knuckles.
“Louis, that’s great! What made you want to go?” He questioned. I looked up at him and smiled.
“You know how I really want to be a drama teacher?” He nodded. “Well was thinking about actually starting to achieve that goal.”
“Where would you want to go?”
“Doncaster University.”
“Really? I would expect you to want to go to some elite school where all the top-notch drama teachers went for their degree.” He laughed.
“Those schools are too far. I’m not leaving you.” I stated.
“You’re such a sap.” He said before leaning in and kissing me. Of course I kissed back. A few minutes passed by and…
“Hey gu- woah.” Liam.
“FINALLY!” Harry.
Niall and I broke apart.
“Maybe we should start locking doors. This is becoming a problem.” I laughed.
“Or maybe some people should learn to knock.” Niall said with fake irritation and glared at Liam and Harry.
“Oh, c’mon. You both know I hate knocking.” Liam whined. “And Harry can’t remember to knock for his life!”
“Can we please talk about the elephant in the room? How long have you guys been dating?” Harry asked.
“Almost a month.” Niall replied proudly.

February 14th, 2014 -first time 😉
February 14th
4:48 pm
Hey Louis!!!!!
Hi 😃
Happy Valentines Day❤️
❤️❤️
You wouldn’t happen to have any plans today, would you?🤔🤔
Nope. But I feel like I’m about to… ☺️
Can you be ready by 5:30?
Ready for what, exactly???
It’s a surprise 😇 just dress up for something fancy 😉😉
Okay 🤗
I run around my room looking for the perfect outfit. I eventually choose a white button up shirt, a navy blue blazer, and navy blue dress pants. I quickly style my hair before I leave to pick up Niall. I walk down stairs, open the door, get in my car, and drive to Niall’s house. I knock on his front door and when he opens it, I notice Niall is wearing the exact same outfit as me. He noticed this too and we both started laughing. After a few seconds, we calmed down. I handed Niall the rose I was holding in my hand. He accepted the rose and pulled me in for a tight hug.
“Happy Valentines Day.” I say. I pull away from the hug and let him walk out of the house, closing the door behind him. When he closes the door, he turns around to kiss me. I kiss back, obviously, but only for a few seconds.
“Let’s get going. We don’t want to be late.” I said. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to my car.
“Late for what?” He asked. I ignored his question and kept walking. I opened the car door for him. He thanks me and gets in the car. I close the door and walk to the drivers side and get in. We drive for a while. I put my hand palm up on his thigh. He laces his fingers with mine and squeezes my hand.
“We’re almost there.” I say as I stop at a red light. I look over at Niall, only to see that he was already looking at me. I lean in and kiss him softly before turning my attention back to the road; mostly because the light had turned green. After a few more minutes of driving, I finally turned into the parking lot of an very posh restaurant.
“Woah.” Niall says when we get out of the car.
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” I laughed. I grabbed his hand and we started our way to the restaurant.
~time skip~
“So where are we going now?” Niall asked.
“Hm.” I pretended to think. “I guess you’ll have to wait to find out.” I grin deviously.
“Why can’t you tell me?” Niall whines- yes he actually whines.
“Because then it would ruin the surprise.” I wink at him. I start the car, drive out of the parking lot, and begin the ride to our next location. This drive took a little longer than the previous drive because the destination is in a farther part of town. Eventually, we make it. I pull up on the side of the road next to a park.
“Why are we at a park?” Niall questioned curiously.
“There is a specific spot I want to show you. I’ll explain more when we get there.”
“How do I know you’re not going to take me behind a few trees and kill me?”
“Do you trust me, Niall?”
“Of course I do. I trust you with my life, Louis.” He smiles at me. I smile back and pull him into a hug.
‘I love you.’ I thought. I didn’t say it out loud because I feel like it’s too early. We’ve only been officially dating for a little over a month.
“Do you remember a few years ago when I told you about my special tree?” I ask as we start walking. He nods. “Well,” I continue, “this is the park. I told you that I would bring you here when the time was right. I’m pretty sure that now is the perfect time. So here it is.” We stopped walking. I show him the tree where I carved in his name with a heart around it. I looked at him so I could see his reaction. “I heard a story that said if you carve the name of someone you have a crush on into a tree, they will like you back. The only bad thing about it is that you can’t show the person until you start dating them. So, since we’ve been dating for over a month, I decided that I could finally show you my tree.”
“Lou, I-” he cuts himself off. He turn to me and took my hands. “I don’t even have any words. Thank you for showing me this.” I take my hands away from Niall’s, grab his face, and pull him into a kiss. I push him up against the tree and kiss him for a while longer before pulling away. He pouts.
“Let’s go.” I take his hand a pull him to a trial that wraps around the park.
“Where are we going now?”
“For a walk. I have more to tell you.” I say as I squeeze his hand. We walk for a few minutes. Soon enough, we get the a small playground area.
“Oh I remember this place. You, me, Liam, and Harry all came here one day for a picnic. That was the day you and Harry said you were dating.” He puts quotes around the word ‘dating’. “That day,” he continued, “might have just been the worst day of my life.”
“Oh. I’m sorry, Niall. But you know that I only did that to make you jealous. Everyday I hoped you would call or text me, telling me to forget about Harry and to go out with you instead. I apologize for hurting you.” Niall shakes his head.
“You don’t have to apologize, Lou. I have already forgiven you.” He gives me a small smile. I smile back as he leans in for a quick kiss. “Now I hope you brought me here for a different reason.”
“Of course.” I said. I walked over to the swings and sit down on one. I gesture for Niall to sit on the other one. “When I was younger, I came to this park every single day. It was an unpopular park, so I was usually the only kid here. You remember when we first met, right? In the elevator?”
“How could I forget!?”
“Well after I left the dentist, I asked my mom to drop me off here. I was sitting in this swing when I realized that I had to get to know you more; I had to become your best friend. I made it my life’s goal to have you in my life, in any way, shape, or form.” I stood up. I reached my arm out in front of Niall. He takes my hand and stands up. “There is one more place I want to show you. Then we’ll leave.”
“Okay.” This park has a small fresh water lake in the middle of it. Niall and I walk to one of the few benches that surround the lake and sit down.
“June 26, 2008. I was right here. I was laying on this bench while talking to you on the phone.” I took Niall’s arm, put it around my shoulders, and moved closer to him. That was the day I almost asked you out. I assumed you didn’t live too far from here so I was going to walk to the small flower shop up the block then go to your house and ask you out. The only reason why I didn’t do it that day was because I didn’t know what kind of flowers you would like.” We laughed.
“So we went through five and a half years of flirting, when we could have been dating, just because you didn’t know what flowers to get? That’s crazy.”
“I know, I know. But, hey. Look at where we are now: spending Valentines Day together as a couple.” I smiled. He leaned in and kissed me slowly and softly, as if my lips were glass that would break if the applied too much pressure. However, the kiss suddenly got faster, more desperate. I found myself moving so that I was straddling him. Before we got too carried away, I pulled back. Niall groaned in disagreement and tried to kiss me again. I kiss him once then climb off his lap.
“Why?” He groaned.
“We can continue this somewhere with a little more privacy and a little less in the middle of a park.” I grinned. Niall looked up at me.
“I have a feeling you have another surprise.” He stood up. I grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers.
“Your feeling is correct.” We start walking back to the car. “And I have a feeling you’ll really like this one.”
“Only one way to find out.” He said as I opened the car door for him. I closed it behind him, walked to the drivers side, and got in. We drive for a while until we reach an extremely fancy hotel.
“Wow, Lou. This place looks absolutely amazing.” Niall says in astonishment.
“It’s even more amazing inside. Let’s go.” We get out of the car and walk into the hotel. We get to the front desk and the man asks for my name. “Tomlinson.” I answered. He just is our keys and tells us to have a good night.
“Oh I plan on it.” Niall whispered in my ear. I laughed quietly. When we step in the elevator I wrap my arms around his waist. I place light kisses on his jaw. I bring one arm up and start to undo the buttons on his shirt. “Lou.” He breathes. He puts his hand over mine and says, “Wait until we get in the room.”
“Just getting an early start.” I winked at him. The elevator opens and we walk out. It took us about five minutes to find our room because we turn down the wrong hallway. We laughed as I unlocked the door.
“This room is beautiful.” Niall said in amazement. I stand behind him and wrap my arms around his waist.
“I could probably think of something a thousand time more beautiful than this room.” Niall turned around in my arms.
“Oh yeah and what would that be?”
“You.” I answer. He smiles at me and leans in for a kiss.
“You’re such a sap.” He says against my lips. I run my hands up his front, to his shoulders, and pushed his blazer off. I quickly shrug of my own blazer then tried to finish unbuttoning Niall’s shirt. I was able to undo a couple, but then I started struggling. I guess Niall figured out that I was having trouble because he pulled away said, “Do you need help?”
“I can’t get these bloody buttons undone.” I huff. Niall laughs as he swats my hands away and unbuttons the rest of his own shirt. I smile admiringly at him. He gives me a small smile back as he starts to unbutton my shirt.
“So, we’re really going to do this?”
“Yes. Unless you don’t want to, that is.”
“Oh, believe me,” he pulls me closer to him by the collar of my shirt. “I really want to do this.” He winks. I found myself playing with the waistband of his pants.
What happens next is something the author of this cannot write. However, if you oh-so-desperately want to know, tell her and she will make this one shot into its own book!

April 12th, 2014 -I Love You’s
{everything is translated through google translate)
After babysitting my neighbour’s ungrateful children, there is nothing I want to do more than sleep. I enter my house and close the door behind me. On this door was a piece of paper with Niall’s handwriting on it. It read:
I’m sorry to do this so late, but go to where we had our first date.
Te iubesc. ~Niall
I curiously walk downstairs to the basement and notice another paper on the television. This one reads:
I was going to be cute but I couldn’t think of a rhyme for this. Just go the dining room.
kocham Cię. ~Niall
What is this boy planning? I ask to myself. I find another paper on the dining room table.
I know, I know. I’m being a di*k, but go to the place where your toothbrush got me sick.
Volim te. ~Niall
I remember that! I had just recently gotten over a cold, and Niall slept over, but he forgot his toothbrush so I let him use mine. I walk upstairs to my bathroom. Another paper on the mirror.
It’s almost done, alright? Go to where we had our first fight.
jeg elsker dig. ~Niall
Fight? We never fought. *ding* Almost like a light switches turns on in my head. He means where we actually wrestled each other to the ground over the television remote in the living room. I make my way back downstairs and low and behold; another paper.
Okay, now you’re probably pissed. But could you please go to the place we first kissed?
je t’aime. ich liebe dich. Szeretlek. Rwy’n dy garu di. ~Niall
More!? I’ll get back at him for this. Once again I walk up the stairs and into my room. I turn on the light and scan around the room for another paper. I almost miss Niall standing in the middle of the room holding a paper. He offers me the paper and I take it carefully.
Romanian, Polish, Croatian, Danish, French, German, Hungarian, Welsh.
At first I was confused, but Niall told me to turn it over.
English.
Now I’m even more confused. Niall takes the paper and lets it fall to the floor. He then grabs my hands, which makes me look at him.
“Louis, I never thought I’d meet anyone mildly interesting in an elevator, let alone the love of my life. The day that I found out that you are gay, I wanted to be in a relationship with you. But, with me being the awkward person I am, I couldn’t do it. I thought if I flirted with you enough, you would ask me out. Then there was that short period of time where it was illegal for us to date, so I had to lay off the flirting. Honestly, I should have known you had feelings for me when you bought me the “Kiss Me I’m Legal” poster for my 18th birthday.
“I think a bit of my soul was crushed when you told me that you and Harry were dating. I don’t think I told you this but I was going to ask you out that day. You don’t understand how many times I talked to myself in the mirror to build up enough courage to even think about going on a date with you. And all that courage was crushed. I think it was then when I started falling in love with you, I just didn’t register it as love. But I definitely know that when we kissed for the first time, I knew I could never love anyone else. I really regret apologising for kissing you. And, on your birthday, when you told me you had feelings for me, it was one of the best days of my life.
“Did I ever tell you how cute you text when you’re drunk? The texts I received at 2 am January 2nd really made me smile. But what happened several hours later, oh I swear I died. Your lame attempt of asking me to be your boyfriend made my heart stop, beat faster, skip a beat, and so many other things.
“I’ve been wanting to tell you this since February but I wasn’t sure if it was too early. I’m not even sure if this is the right time, but f-ck it! I, Niall Horan, am in love with you, Louis Tomlinson.”
I felt the tears build up in my eyes as he finished his speech. I remove my hands from his, only to wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a tight hug. He wraps his arms around my middle.
“I love you, too.” I whisper quietly.
~about an hour later~
We’re cuddled up together in my bed and tears are still pouring out of my eyes.
“C’mon, Louis. It’s been like an hour. Please stop crying.”
“I’m trying. I don’t know why I’m still crying. I’m just really happy.” I laughed. Niall smiled and kissed my forehead.
///////
July 27th, 2014 -moving in together.
Niall!!! I got my letter from DU!!
Me too! Wanna come over?? 🤔
Yeah! I’ll be right over.
I’m so anxious. Niall and I both applied to Doncaster University. It was originally just me going but Niall decided that he wanted to go as well. If we both get in, I’m going to ask Niall if he wants to ge an apartment together. Right now we both still live with our mums and it’s kinda embarrassing. The drive to Niall’s is quick and before I know it I’m in his room about to open my letter. My eyes scan over one word and one word only and I’m already jumping for joy.
Congratulations
I can tell by the look on Niall’s face that he was reading the exact same word. I unconsciously drop my letter on the floor as I jump into Niall’s arms and wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He places his hands on my bum for support. I lean in and kiss his lips softly.
“We are going to college together.” I whisper against his lips. I unwrap my legs from his waist and stand on the floor. We pull away and look at each other.
“Wanna sit?” He offered. I nodded and moved my arms from his shoulders. While he lays on his bed, I quickly lock the door. He gives me a questioning look.
“I, um, wanna talk to you, and I’d rather not be interrupted.” I say awkwardly. He nods understandingly. I walk over and sit on his lap so that my back is resting against his chest and I can’t see his face.
“Why are you sitting on me?” He asked as he wrapped his arms around me and placed his hands on my stomach. I grab one of his hands and start playing with his fingers.
“I dunno. I like sitting like this.” I mumbled. He responds with a small ‘alright’ and runs his finger through my hair with the hand I’m not playing with. “So, I talked to your mum and my mum. We were discussing plans for college. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, and I brought up that idea to them. They agreed. Now, the only thing left is to ask for your opinion. Do you want to move into an apartment together?” I felt his heartbeat through his wrist as it beat faster.
“Are you sure my mother agreed to this?” He questioned.
“Yeah. Both of them said they would help with the first few month’s rent. And I already have a place that I think we’ll both enjoy.” I kiss the back of his hand.
“Well, when can we go see it?”
“Right now.”
“Let’s go!” He exclaims. We get up, leave his room, exit his house, and hop in my car. It’s not a long drive to the apartment complex, but it’s also a very short drive to the school from the building. I pull into a visitor’s parking spot and turn off the car. I look over at Niall. He’s staring straight ahead and seems to be in deep thought. I gently place my hand on his thigh. He snaps out of his thoughts and looks back at me.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“Yeah. I’m more than okay, Louis. I’m ecstatic!”
“I thought you are having second thoughts about this whole thing.”
“Louis, you could have just said ‘we’re moving in together,’ and I would have been totally okay with it. I want to do this.” He stated and grabbed my hand. I smiled, although I felt stupid, and leaned in to peck his lips.
“Let’s do this.”.
~about an hour later~
“So, what do you think?” I asked.
“I don’t like it.” The smile is wiped off my face.
“But it has the spare room, a-and the laundry room, and an indoor pool, and it’s close to the school. Most importantly, it’s way under the set budget.” I ramble. Niall grabs my hands.
“Louis, I don’t like it. I love it.” I smacked his chest. “Ow, that hurt.” I just smirked in response. “Don’t smirk at me. Kiss it.” I rolled my eyes and gently kiss his chest.
“I hate you.”
“No you don’t.”
“No I don’t.” I said, and pecked his lips.

June 18th, 2016 -proposal
*Ring Ring*
“Hello?” I answer without looking at the name.
“Hey, Lou.” Niall.
“Hey. Is something wrong? You don’t usually call me unless something is wrong.”
“No, no. Nothing is wrong. I was just wondering if you could draw a bath? I’ve had a really stressful day and would like to relax with my favourite man in the world” he chuckled and I smiled. “I’m driving home now.”
“No problem, babe. I’ll see you when you get home.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too, Ni.” I said and hung up.
~like ten or so minutes later~
I hear the apartment door open and close. Soon after I hear Niall’s footsteps as he walks towards the bathroom. I was sitting on the sink counter waiting for him. He opens the door, walks in, and closes it behind him.
“Hey.” We said at the same time. I laughed and pecked his lips. I noticed his eyes run up and down my body. I was only wearing boxer briefs.
“My eyes,” I place my finger under his chin and tilt his head up, “are up here.” He smirked and cupped my jaw and attached his lips to mine. The force of the kiss caused me to let out a (manly) squeak as Niall ran his hands down my front, stopping and resting his hands on my hips. I slipped my hands under his shirt and pushed it up. Niall tried pulling it off, but he somehow got stuck and was struggling to get it off. I would have helped him, but I was too busy laughing.
“Well that was exhausting.” Niall said after he finally got his shirt off. I was still laughing. I was laughing so hard that it was silent and I was sitting there clapping like a retarded seal. Niall took this time to slip out of his pants and socks.
I calmed down after a few minutes. I hopped off the counter, walked over to were Niall was testing the water, and wrapped my arms around his front. He stood up straight and turned around in my arms. “The water’s cold, and I’m too impatient to drain it and wait for it to fill up again.”
“So, do yo want to drain the water and go to bed?” I suggest. Niall nods his head and turns to drain the tub. He turns back towards me and slams his lips to mine. I kiss back, obviously, and he lightly nudges me to start walking back out of the bathroom. All was good until I slammed into a door knob. “F-ck! Okay that hurt.”
“Do you want to ice it?” Niall asked. He was trying not to laugh, but started to after I couldn’t hold in my laughter.
“Door knobs are so inconvenient.” I say. “I don’t think there is any reason to ice it, but you might need to carry me.”
“Does it hurt that bad, or are you just lazy?”
“Just lazy.” I jumped up and wrapped my legs around Niall’s waist with my arms around his neck. “I call big spoon.” I said as a Niall opened our bedroom door.
“But you’re so little.” Niall laughs.
“Give me a break. I’m big.”
“Oh have we stopped talking about height?” He questioned as he sat on the bed. It took me a few seconds to understand what he meant, but I soon understood his dirty reference.
“You dirty-minded little bas-” he cut me off with a kiss.
“I don’t have a dirty mind. I have a sexy imagination.” He winked at me. I shook my head at him and started to push on his shoulders.
“Lay down. You still seem stressed.” I moved off of him and to his side. He nods and turns away from me, allowing me to wrap my arms around his front and pull him close. He melted into my touch and let out a small hum of approval. I press a small kiss to the back of his head, and start giving him light kisses down his neck. Neck kisses help Niall relax.
“Hey, Lou?” He whispered.
“Mmhm?” I responded. Niall turns in my arms to face me.
“I don’t have a whole speech, or flowers, or even rings. But, Louis William Tomlinson, will you marry me?”
“Of course I will marry you, Niall James Horan.” I kissed him deeply, but pulled away after a few seconds because realisation hit me like a ton of bricks. “Do you know what today it is?”
“Uh, Saturday?”
“Well, yeah. It’s June 18th. Our meet-iversary! Eight years ago today I was not only late to my dentist appointment, but I also met my soulmate.” I smiled brightly.
///////
July 1st, 2016 -wedding
Niall and I agreed that we didn’t want a big ceremony, so it was going to be just us going to some judge’s private office. I am currently in a hotel room with my mum, my step-dad, my sisters, and my brother. Niall is in the room next door with his family.
“I can’t believe you’re getting married. Seems like just yesterday you were wearing a football as a hat,”
“But here you are. All grown up.” My mum started tearing up. “Although, I do wish you would shave. Or maybe let me fix up your hair?”
“Mum, my hair is fine. Niall likes this look on my anyway.” I smiled.
“Whipped!” My oldest, younger sister, Lottie, shouted from across the room. I playfully glared at her, then turned my attention back to my mum. She was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
“The Horans are here!” My mum exclaimed and quickly walk to the door and opened it. “Or just Niall?”
“I didn’t know it was thanksgiving? Should I say my parents are stuck in traffic?” He laughed. I joined in with his laugher once I realised he was talking about the day of our first kiss.
“I’m not sure what you two are laughing about, but come in, Niall.” My mum stepped aside and Niall walked up to me. I smiled at him, which he returned, and pulled him in for a tight hug.
“You look wonderful.” I whisper.
“Not as wonderful as you.” He whispered back.
“You are such a sap.” I said pulling away. Not all the way, but enough to look at his face. “But I love you, so it’s okay.”
~later~
Niall is driving us to the courthouse. We stop at a red light and Niall looks at me. I’m physically shaking from nerves. I’m assuming he noticed this as he rests his hand on my thigh.
“What’s wrong, Lou?”
“N-nothing, just… nervous.” I responded.
“Look, Lou, if you don’t want to do this-“
“Niall, why would you even think that I wouldn’t want to do this? Of course I want to marry you. You are the love of my life and I could never picture life without you.”
Niall was about to respond but a car horn cut him off. The light had changed from red to green. I place my hand on top of his. A few minutes later we were pulling into the parking lot of the courthouse. He seemed to park in the spot furthest from the entrance.
“Are you ready?” He asked, squeezing my hand.
“Yeah.” I breathed. We get out of the car and start the walk to the entrance. I grab Niall’s hand and lace our fingers together. “Why did you park so far from the door?”
“Why not?” He countered. I stopped walking and pulled Niall to a stop as well. He gave me a questioning look. I stared at him for a few seconds before talking.
“I love you.” I stated firmly.
“I lov-” I cut him off.
“I want to spend every moment of my life with you. I want to be married to you. I want to eventually have kids with you. I want to grow old with you. Niall, I would die for you. Maybe nervous was the wrong word when you asked if I was okay. To say I’m euphoric would be an understatement. I have been looking forward to this moment since June 18th, 2008. I know you parked in the furthest possible spot because you were giving me a chance to think about this whole situation; like if I changed my mind, we could just turn and walk back to the car. Now that has me thinking, are you sure you’re ready to do this, Niall.”
“I’m sure, Louis. I have never, ever, been more sure about anything in my entire life. I want to do everything with you too. I love you. Now let me show you how much I love you. Let’s go get married.” He smiles. He squeezes my hand and we continue our walk to the building.
~time skip~
Niall and I arrive at a fancy restaurant. We had agreed with our friends and families to meet us here as a type of wedding reception. When we get out of the car, we are immediately surrounded by our families. After saying hi and hugging everyone, we all walked into the restaurant.
~another time skip~
After the reception, Niall and I said good night to our friends and families and drove to a hotel. Coincidentally, it was the same hotel we went to on our first Valentine’s Day. We walk up to the front desk.
“Last name?” The lady asked without looking up from computer screen.
“Tomlinson.” I answered. You could feel her emotions shift as she finally looked up. She looked at Niall and I and let out a noice I’m assuming was meant to be a squeal.
“OMG! You’re Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan from YouTube!! I’m a huge fan! Wait. This says you guys booked the honeymoon suite. OMG, did you guys finally get married!?” She questioned.
“Yeah we did!” Niall exclaimed.
“But could please not tell anyone? I’ll probably release a video in about week sharing the big news.” I smiled. She agreed. She asked for a few pictures and autographs, which we gave her, then she finally gave us our room keys.
“Thank you.” Niall said.
“Stay fabulous.” I winked before we walked to the elevator.
