Niall Horan Imagines

Late Night Football and Tweets

You tossed and turned in your bed, trying to avoid thinking of what Sophie said. You know in your heart she's right but there's this tiny voice in your mind that's still hopeful. You glanced at the digital clock on your night stand and saw that it's already 3:00 in the morning. You still have the final school day today and a flight to look forward to tomorrow.

"This is ridiculous," you finally said, sitting up and taking your phone from your night stand.

You clicked it open and smiling up at you as your lock screen is Niall Horan, of course. You quickly unlocked your phone and looking up at you as your home screen is Niall Horan again. You groaned to yourself, thinking it's a bit mad that you've placed him as both home and lock screen of your phone.

"You're gonna kill me too soon, love," you whisper to the smiling image of Niall on your phone. "No, not kill. Drive me mad."

You decided to cyber-stalk him again, even though you know what he's been up to lately (and that is, surprisingly for you, being with you). You clicked on his profile on Twitter and saw that distinct notification by his name: FOLLOWS YOU.

"Shit," you mutter, your eyes wide. He's following you! How did he even know your username? This is your fan account for crying out loud! You checked your personal account and clicked his profile there. Yep. He's following you there too.

"Holy shït," you mutter to yourself, breathing hard.

You'd think that a follow from your idol, who you are dating by the way, is not that much of a deal now but nope. You still feel that jolt of excitement and disbelief. It's like you're back to being a fangirl whom he doesn't know.

You quickly changed your bio to "@NiallOfficial followed me. Isn't that wicked?! Love him to bits!" and saved the data.

Not a minute later, you received a new direct message.

From: @NiallOfficial

Love me, eh?

You felt your cheeks turn bright red and tried to calm down your nerves.

To: @NiallOfficial

I'm a fangirl after all. Don't sound so surprised.

Niall quickly replied to your message with: Still not getting used to the love.

You guffawed at that and quickly typed a reply: You have got to be kidding me. The whole world basically worships you and the lads.

It took Niall a few moments to reply to your message: It sounds easy to say but if you're in my shoes, you wouldn't believe the fame.

That left you speechless. Of course you did not know. You typed up a message to Niall: I'm sorry. I did not mean it like that. It's just that basically everyone adores you and you should just know that.

Niall quickly replied to your message: Yeah. I know and I thank you and the others everyday.

You typed a message to him: It's a miracle you noticed my change of bio AND send me a direct message. Not much spams, huh? :)

Niall replied to you with: I might have passed by your account and saw and I just have to message you personally. Regarding spams, I've got my notifs off. It's already late, yeah? Why are you still up?

You looked at the message and blushed. You typed up: It's a long story. Why are you still up?

Niall took a moment to reply to you: I've got to watch the latest Derby game.

You smirked. Of course. That's exactly what Niall would do. You shook your head while giggling before sending him a message: Oh. I'll leave you to your game now. I'll be sleeping. Give me an update to the game, yeah?

You're half-asleep when you felt your phone buzz for a direct message alert. You checked and saw Niall's new message to you: Watch it with me?

You felt your insides come to life. The last wish of sleeping was no longer existing. Instead, you sat up and slowly opened the door. You tiptoed down the stairs, careful not to wake anyone, and went to the den to watch the game. You turned down the volume and watched the game. Derby is two points behind the rival, the Nottingham Forest. You can feel the tension in the game and had to bite your tongue before screaming at the television because Chris Martin missed the goal. Before long, the game ended with Nottingham Forest winning. You groaned before shutting off the television.

You checked Niall's Twitter account and sure enough, he's ranting.

@NiallOfficial: Unbelievable ! I cant believe they lost !

You switched to direct messaging and said: Hey, it's just one game. They'll win again sometime soon.

Niall quickly replied to your message with: I just cannot believe they lost. To the Nottingham Forest no less.

You sighed, thinking what do you say to someone who's upset about a football game? Then you think back to your feelings whenever Bayern lose. It's irritating and you just let it wash over you and let it pass. That's exactly what Niall is going through, you thought. He's letting his feelings flow. With that, you did not respond for a while, adding Niall's latest tweet about Derby's loss to your favorites and retweeting it.

From: @NiallOfficial

I'm sorry about a while ago. Just so overwhelming.

To: @NiallOfficial

Feeling better?

It took Niall some time to respond.

From: @NiallOfficial

Much. Thank you. You'd better sleep. Good night (Y/N). Sweet dreams x

You smiled at his message and laid down on the couch. Your eyes flutter shut without even realizing it, your mind playing a fantasy of you and Niall together...or is it just a fantasy?
