life of Styles | n.s

12

Never in his life he imagined that one day Harry would be infront of him, looking at him much less talking to him.

Not wanting to seem like a fool, that he thinks he already looks he nods, saying a quiet yeah. And he sighs in relief as Harry smiles nodding before continuing to talk. And this time Niall wills himself to listen to him.

"So how much Niall?"he finds himself hearing and he sits straight up, not realizing they are talking about money so soon. Is he going to leave now?? So soon?

"Umm...whatever you think will be fine by me" he mumbles, he was not the person to state out his worth just like that. That was Louis, he was the bold one and one of the reasons he is sitting here right now, Niall wouldn't ever had the guts to do it.

He watches as Harry looks at him with an amused look, one side of his lips pulling upwards as he shakes his head "I meant about experiencing" he pauses rephrasing his question"How much experience"

"Oh"Niall mumbles completely embarrassed as he knows now Harry has realized he wasn't listening to him"A... Um.. Sorry. I -" he flushes raking his mind to come up with words he has seemingly forgotten "I own a recording studio with my fr-friend and I write for new artist, so-some s-songs for me s-self"

"That's good Niall Harry smiles before pausing and then nods "Impressive"

"O-okay, I mean-" "I-thank you" he blurts out feeling his cheeks warming up as Harry smiles at him with a twinkle in his eyes, amused ones and he knows he managed to make a mess of himself.

Oh lord, keep it cool Niall.

Now you're looking like a fool.

His eyes follow down his body, in shyness not having in him to hold his gaze anymore and Niall swears he can see his nipple right from underneath the white shirt. He gulps, his eyes moving up and away from the hot sight to the blue scarf Harry has around his neck that is something he has never seen on him.

And he finds himself thinking if he usually wears them behind the scenes or he is trying a new look?

He is brought back from his thoughts with his raspy British voice, and he realizes he has missed the majority of what Harry was saying to him because of him. It was a fucking paradox.

He cannot help but stop blushing as he realizes what a mess he has been and he can't believe himself.

"You have an accent" Harry states, not really asking almost observing, something he had noticed when Niall had talked about his work.

"Y-yeah, 'M Irish" Niall nods, only realizing that his accent is too thick.

"From Ireland? Did you just move here?" Harry asks, changing the topic from music to personal life as he thinks Niall is comfortable answering this, as he was not getting much response while talking about the former.

"No why?" Niall asks, scratching his neck nervously.

"It's pretty thick" Harry smiles, pointing his finger towards him as if pointing out and he indeed is.

"Ye-eah. It's, it only happens when' m nervous" Niall mumbles, still scratching his neck as he flushes.

Harry's eyes widens and he leans forward, a soft smile on his face that calms Niall down instantly "Don't be nervous Niall."

"I am not going to eat you" he says, leaning back on the couch and Niall curses in his mind at how it sounded.

Harry chuckles before he starts "As, I was saying I read your song and the listened to the tune you sent."

"Pretty quirky. Yet, yet so deep." he comments after a pause.

"Exactly what I was looking for!" he exclaims, the song has never left his mind - the words mostly as he still was unable to connect the tune with it but the tune was itself quirky impressing yet intriguing him as to how the tune tones would flow together.

"Really?! "Niall perks up eyes shining all his previous doubts about the song fading away as Harry holds his gaze giving him a sincere nod and smile as he answers" Really. "

"Welcome to the band Niall!" he says making Niall blush and giggle in happiness.

"Mind me asking one thing?
" Niall asks after seconds of silence biting his lip nervously, an action Harry is drawn to unknowingly.

"Yes sure, you can ask whatever you want." Harry smiles at him.

"You're an amazing artist Mr. Styles-" he starts but is cut off as Harry interrupts with "Please call me Harry."

"Umm...you're talented." Niall nods although doesn't dare to repeat his name, not wanting to say it loud, scared to say it out loud.

"Why did you want a lyricist?" he asks boldly surprising not only Harry but himself as the words just come out and he is unable to do anything to stop them as he continues "Especially, someone like me. I am no professional."

It is true, he knows music understands it but not the way it is taught in school or not the way the professionals study. He just plays whatever comes from within his mind and heart, it's a natural process with him nothing with technique or thinking on tones, no. He just knows the genres and provides his take on then with the story within him.

"Between us Niall, since we will be working together. Lately, I have" Harry leans forward as if to tell a big secret and it probably is, because it leaves Niall shocked "I am having struggle to write a good song. And I have this theme in mind."

"And I wanted someone who will have the creativity for it." he continues leaning back a little, in a way reasoning him but yet complementing him and Niall cannot help but smile.

"Thanks. For choosing me. "he says clearing his throat, his eyes wide and beaming.

" You're welcome, Niall. "Harry smiles right back before he is getting up making Niall nervous as he stands.

" Don't be worried Niall. I think we are done for today"Harry assures him and Niall heaves a sigh out making the taller one chuckle lightly before he asks, turning around facing him completely "I hope, Jeff has told you everything?"

"Ye-yes " Niall says and Harry sighs, his hand on the doorknob as he says
"Niall, I am not your boss. We both will be working together from tomorrow. So don't be scared or nervous okay?"

He smiles back at Niall as he says "We will be friends"

"Thank you Mr. St-I mean..." Niall flushes as Harry gives him wide eyes and continues hurriedly not wanting to say his name "It will be great working with you"

"I am sure it will be" Harry gives him an amused smile shaking his head before he leaves making Niall fall back on the couch, hands on his face as he cannot believe at what just happened.
