97. One Of The Boys Stick Up For You

Harry: Zayn had called earlier to ask if you would help him pick out a new house. He had taken the other boys with him but they had been no help and he really needed to find a place to live. You agreed to tag along and dress casually in a pair of black leggings and a lose sweater to follow him from apartment to apartment. Zayn’s real estate agent has been a bitch the whole day, ignoring the opinions you offer when Zayn asks for it. “You don’t need her to be here with you, she’s useless” the woman sneers and Zayn’s eyes shoot up to his forehead. “You’re fired,” he says simply, grasping your elbow to lead you from the apartment. “Excuse me?” the woman scoffs. “How dare you speak to her like that? She’s not useless; people like you make me sick” Zayn scolds, pushing you out the door ahead of him. Later that evening Harry calls to thank Zayn for stick up for his girlfriend.

Liam: You’re wondering around Hollister with the boys as Liam tries a few things on in the dressing room. Zayn and Louis are in the back of the store while Harry flirts with the sales attendant at the register and Niall is nowhere to be seen. You’re pulling out a cream colored lace dress when a blonde sales attendant walks past you, ignoring you when you try to get her attention. “I mean, why does she get to hang out with them! She’s not even attractive… you’re not even attractive” she says, loud enough for you to hear. You just stand there, not used to having them say those things to your face in such close quarters. They continue to tear into you, picking apart everything about you as you stand at a loss for words. You want to say something back, you want to beat the shit out of them but you stand completely rooted to your spot, speechless. “Oi, back off” Niall snaps, appearing at your left as he pulls the lace dress you’ve had clutched to your chest from your fingers. “Do you need a smaller size?” he asks you and you nod. “Get her a smaller size and learn how to be respectful. She’s a human being, not one of the manikins in your stores. You might get them confused, seeing as you look just as fake as they do… better yet, where’s your manager. We’re not buying anything here and I’d like to tell them why” Niall says, throwing the dress to the ground as Liam appears around the corner, pulling his jeans up as he stumbles towards the two of you. Later that week, he takes Niall to an all you can eat buffet in thanks for defending you in your time of need.

Niall: Sitting next to Louis at the dinner table, you watch as the waiter continues to ignore you. Niall is seated across from you, completely distracted by his conversation with Liam to notice. Louis raises an eyebrow as the girl barely writes your order down before he repeats your order. The waiter scoffs quietly before walking off towards the kitchen. “I feel like she’s going to spit in my good” you tell Louis quietly and he laughs tightly. “We’ll just switch,” he offers and you smile at his kind gesture. When the server returns a few minutes later with your orders, Louis watches the girl cautiously. Niall barely looks up to thank her for his food before he’s digging in; still distracted by the animated discussion he’s having with Liam. You gasp as the waiter spills your pasta in your lap and Louis is quick to stand. “I want to speak to your manager! You are completely out of line and I want you fired!” Louis demands while explaining the situation to the manager as he tries to help you clean the stain out of your dress. Niall is shocked at the scene in front of him before he’s shrugging out of his cardigan to cover up your ruined dress. “Thank Louis, for paying attention” Niall says, helping you stand from your seat. Louis just smiles while pressing a friendly kiss to your cheek before the entire group leaves, vowing never to return to that restaurant.

Louis: Louis was being interviewed and you are sitting with Liam waiting on him to wrap up when some radio contest winners come up to the two of you. They’re all smiles until he starts to bring you into their conversation. They scoff and roll their eyes at you, something you are used to and something Liam hates. The girls tell him they’re glad he isn’t with someone like you and he scowls. “What are you talking about” he says “(y/n) is great. Lou is incredibly lucky to have found her any of us would be lucky to have a girl like her in our lives.” They sigh and roll their eyes as Lou comes up and kisses you “Damn right. But she’s all mine Liam you need to look somewhere else, but not here obviously” he looks at the girls who are standing there embarrassed with their eyes wide open.  

Zayn: Zayn was stuck at the studio with Lou and Liam for the day. You get a call from Harry asking if you wanted to join him on a shopping trip since you were the most fashionable person he knew. You agree and make your way over to his flat. You drive down to the mall together and make your way in and out of the shops harry likes. You walk off for a bit to check out some clothes that have caught your eye. You really wanted to get them but you hadn’t brought any money because you hadn’t planned on getting anything. When harry offers to purchase them for you, you hear a scoff behind you. “She’s got you buying stuff for her too? Can’t you make your own money?” “Excuse me?” Harry scolds. “I think it’s best if you keep your fucking mouth shut and stay out of people you don’t knows business.” The girls stand there in shock at Harry’s strong tone. “You didn’t have to do that Harry, but thanks I would have gone off way worse than that.”
