Niall Horan Imagines

Awkward Christmas Day

-Christmas Day-

You woke up, stretching your arms as your eyes adjusted to the light. You sat up, looking around the room to see you were the only one left. You jumped out of bed and walked downstairs, seeing everyone chatting in the kitchen. 

As soon as you entered the room, your eyes went straight towards Niall, seeing him glaring at you. What a lovely start to Christmas.

"Morning." You smile at everyone, your parents and Niall's parents coming up to hug you, but no Niall.

"Morning sleepyhead." Your mum says, kissing the top of your head. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas Mum."

"Morning sweetpea." Your dad says. "Merry Christmas." 

"Merry Christmas Dad." You repeat.

"Good morning darling, Merry Christmas." Maura says.

"Merry Christmas Maura, thank you for having me here."

"Merry Christmas sweetheart." Bobby says.

"Merry Christmas Bobby." You say, once again.

"Merry Christmas Niall." You say as he remains seated on the couch, his phone in his hands. All he does is scoff.

Your parents and Niall's look around, remaining silent. Well that was awkward.

Maura finishes up breakfast and you help out, going to sit at the table afterwards. 

You sit next to Maura, Niall sits next to Bobby and your parents sit next to each other. You were bummed Niall wasn't sitting next to you but he was still mad and you weren't going to let him ruin your Christmas.

"Christmas tradition time. It's time to go around the table and say what we're thankful for." Maura says happily. You were nervous at this point, whether Niall would mention you or not. You kept your head down. "Y/N, you go first." Maura says.

"Okay, um, well first I'm thankful for my parents. They've raised me and bought me up and without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. I'm grateful for Niall, he's shown me true love and I could never thank him enough for that." You say, your head down at the mention of Niall. "Um, I'm thankful for you, Maura and Bobby. You've been like second parents to me and I really appreciate you. I have a lot more to be thankful for, but I'll keep it short and sweet." You finish, not trusting your voice to continue.

"Well I'm thankful for all of you here. Niall, I'm thankful for you, you're an incredible son and you've made me really proud. I couldn't be happier for you. I'm thankful for Greg, Denise and Theo. Bobby, I'm thankful for you because you've given me our two kids. Y/M/N and Y/F/N, I'm thankful for you both because we've gotten to know each other so well and I'm very thankful to have you in my life. And Y/N, you're like the daughter I never had and I'm very thankful for you sweetheart. You're an angel and I love you so much darling." Maura says. 

"I love you too Maura, thank you." You say.

Next is Niall's turn.

"Niall?" Maura says, going around the table.

"Well I'm thankful for the lads, we've had some incredible times and done some incredible things and I'll never not be thankful for that. Mum, Dad, I'm thankful for you because you've supported me through my whole career and I love you both. I'm thankful for Greg, Denise and Theo even though they're not here.  Y/M/N and Y/F/N, I'm thankful for you too, you've been like another set of parents to me and you're always supportive so thank you." Niall says. "Yeah, that's it." He finishes. Both of your parents are taken back by him finishing, as are you. He didn't even mention you.
