One Shots

Caitlyn&Niall

“Happy Birthday Princess” Niall says when I answer the door. A grin breaks out onto my face and I give him a hug before taking the flowers from his hand. “You ready to go?” he asks stuffing his hands in his pockets as I head into the kitchen to put them in a vase.

“Yea, just let me get these in water,” I say grabbing a vase and sticking the flowers in. “Ok, let’s go” I say throwing my hoodie on as we step outside. We head to the car waiting for us and slide in, a smile breaking out on my face. Niall was taking me to an Ed Sheeran concert. He was one of my favorite artists. When Niall had accidentally spilled the surprise I’d flipped out. We had seats up higher, off to the side where apparently the VIP’s all sit when they go to concerts.  I’d been surprised when he’d said that but it made sense. This way fans wouldn’t be preventing us from watching the show. I was beyond excited. Niall noticed my hand tapping on my leg in anticipation and with a laugh intertwined our fingers, stopping the bouncing.

“If I didn’t know any better I’d think you were more excited to watch him perform than you are to watch me,” he teased. I grin.

“Well…” I trail off jokingly “He is the Ginger Jesus…” I add with a laugh. He laughs shaking his head.

“But I’m the special snowflake” he jokes back, referring to what all his fans call him. I let out a laugh and the car pulls to a stop, indicating we were here.

“Lets go!” I shout jumping up and almost banging my head on the roof.

“Hang on a sec, we have to get through security. We’re going in the back entrance,” Niall says chuckling, pulling me back down and making me sit again.

“Stupid security making me wait” I grumble crossing my arms. Niall chuckles, pressing his lips to my temple, bringing the smile back to my face. Finally we get through security and make our way up to the VIP section. I peer over the edge, seeing the stage a little ways away. “Oh my god this is fantastic” I breathe excitedly. He chuckles, watching me with an amused expression.

“What? It’s not like you haven’t ever seen girls fan-girling before. You get that like every day” I say looking back at him.

“Yea but it’s usually over me, it’s weird watching my girlfriend fangirl over some other guy.  I’m beginning to understand why a lot of guys don’t like us,” he says with a grin.

“Aww is Niall jealous?” I ask raising an eyebrow, walking back over to where he was standing, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“Maybe just a little” he says before I place a quick kiss on his lips. I pull back but he starts going in for another kiss. The lights start darkening though and I jump back, running to the edge.

“It’s starting” I shriek. I hear a low chuckle behind me and feel his arms wrap around my waist. I look up and see him standing behind me, looking down at me with a smile. I grin, leaning back against him, placing my hands on his as Ed steps out onto the stage. Ed calls out a hello, which the crowd eagerly returns before jumping into the music. He starts going through his set, singing beautifully like he does. I sang out the words along with the rest of the crowd, belting Drunk particularly loud because it was my favorite. Finally, it came to the last song.

“I’d like to dedicate this last song to a good friend of mine who is here with his girlfriend for her birthday. I don’t know a couple who is more in love and I wish them the best.” Ed announces before beginning the intro. I look up at Niall who is looking down at me, eyes shining. A smile splits my face and I give him a kiss before looking back at Ed, just as he was about to sing. I feel Niall’s head bend down so his mouth was by my ear, his breath tickling my neck as he began to sing quietly along with Ed.

“Settle down with me. Cover me up. Cuddle me in.”

I feel my heart flip. No matter how long we dated, I’d never get used to the way he made me feel.

“Settle down with me. And I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my lady” he continues, his arms tightening around me.

“Kiss me like you wanna be loved.” He croons, my eyes closing at the sound of his voice.

“This feels like I’ve fallen in love. Fallen in love. Fallen in love.” He finishes.  I hear the roar of the crowd applauding Ed but instead of joining in, I turn around, throwing my arms around the boy of my dreams, kissing him like I wanna be loved.
