My Brother's Best Friend [HS, 1D]

Chapter 6: Baby Steps

Maggie's POV

"Mate come on, I really wanna go out tonight!" Niall whined to Harry as they made their way down the stairs. I laid on the couch watching Twilight.

Harry walked over and playfully pushed my legs out of the way and I glared at him, curling up so he had room to sit. Niall sat on the recliner next to him and Harry shook his head, "Mate, I'm really not in the mood to socialize today."

This was the fourth time since they were home that Harry had turned down Niall. Each time he had spent the night with me instead, playing card games or watching movies. My mum and dad joining us one night.

"Zayn's in town Hazza. You know he hasn't been feeling himself lately."

"I know, which is why I think you should still hang out with him. I'm just, I really don't want to."

Niall sighed sitting back and pouting and I couldn't help but laugh, "You shut it! Both of yous, boring asses," he said getting up and walking to the hall, calling out to my parents, "Mum, dad, I'll see yous in the morning!"

"Are the other two going?" I heard my mum call back.

"No, they are being wankers." He called out and my mother gasped.

"Niall James Horan, watch your tongue!" My mum called out causing Harry and I to snicker.

Niall rolled his eyes at us, "Whatever, bye you two, you know where I'll be if you get bored."

"Bye!" We both called out.

A few moments later my mum and dad appeared in the archway of the living room, both dressed up and I couldn't help but smile at how cute they looked.

"Well looks at both of you! Where are you going?" I said sitting up.

"Well we thought you would all be going out, so we made plans. Hope that's okay?" My mom said shyly. She looked adorable.

"Mum, you don't have to ask for permission! Go you two. I have Haz, we will be fine. Probably order in." I smiled and Harry nodded.

"I'll make sure she behaves herself." He joked and I glared at him, kicking him softly. He caught my foot holding onto it, "See behaving herself."

My parents laughed looking at each other, my mom shaking her head, "Alright you two, we should be home half past one. Call us if anything."

Harry let go of my foot as they walked out and I stuck my tongue out at him, "I don't know how you can stand these movies."

"Excuse me, they are art okay?" I laughed and he did too.

"So what you want to order in? I'm craving Chinese." He licked his lips.

"When aren't you craving Chinese," I giggled and he grabbed my foot again tickling it, causing me to kick more at him.

"Hazza! Stop!" I giggled and he pinned my legs down, but stopped tickling me. I took a deep breath calming myself and rolled my eyes playfully, "Okay, okay, order the Chinese."

"Thank you." He smiled proudly and I shook my head.

We sat on the floor eating our food, I slurped up some noodles and he laughed, "Such table manners."

"I don't have nobody to impress. It's just you."

"Just me? Wow, you think so little of me," he chuckled, a small smile on his lips. I bit my lip and shook my head.
