Okay, before you read, if you’re confused about the title, continue reading. So I made this preference thing up, it’s basically a special moment that happens on your day spent together. It really is just a day where you got to be a real couple away from the real world I guess…
“Hey, I’m home!” I yell into the probably empty apartment. It was our day together today and he was gone? “I thought you’d at least stay home today…” I mumble. I make my way towards the kitchen with disappointment falling over me. Did he really go out? I see Niall with a small picnic basket placing a folded blanket on top. “Uh, what ya doing there?” I instantly smile, he did stay home after all. He notices me and grins. “Go change out of your jeans and into some comfortable clothes, we’re going on a date.” He says.
“Wait, shouldn’t I dress up more then?” I ask in confusion. “You don’t need to and you’ll know when we get there.” I nod. Without hesitation, I jog upstairs and change out of my clothes and throw on leggings with a t-shirt. It must be a picnic, but still it doesn’t add up. Why do I need to change then? I fix my hair a bit and look a little more presentable. When I arrive back downstairs, I see Niall waiting at the door with the basket and blanket, keys in hand. I slip on a pair of flats and follow him out the door.
When we settle down in the car, I attack him with questions. “Where are we going? A picnic, right? That’s what the blanket and basket are for?” I ask. He laughs at how impatient I am. “It’s a surprise. Just be patient (Y/N).” He answers. I pout. Now I’m going to get even more impatient. “Why can’t I know?” I whine. He chuckles in response and shakes his head. What else could it be though? “How long is it going to take?” I ask. “Soon,” He simply replies. Soon we arrive at a brick building. Huh? The parking lot was full of cars, but the building looked kind of closed. Niall puts the car on ignition and turns on the car lights.
He reaches over and switches the radio to another channel. “Uh, what are you doing?” I question his actions. “You’ll see.” When he switches to the channel, it was silent. “Just wait.” He says answering the question forming in my head. He brings up the basket. “Have any guesses as to what this date is yet?” He asks. I shake my head. Suddenly, the radio starts playing. I look at the building as a movie is projected onto it. Oh, I get it now. It’s a dinner and a drive in movie.
“Oh,” I say trailing off. He pulls out a few containers out of the basket. I guess that’s the food. “So what movie is it?” I ask, you know the beginning is always the movie production stuff. “(insert favorite movie).” He replies already eating. Halfway through the movie, after we’ve finished our food, Niall climbs into the back. He grabs my hand, “Come to the back with me.” I join him. He grabs the blanket from earlier and pulls it over us. I try my best to stay awake through the entire movie, but just at the credits roll in, I was so close to passed out. “It’s okay, just sleep.” He whispers. With my head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around my waist, I finally drift to sleep.
