“She Hated Me When We First Met” - Niall Horan Imagine

REQUESTS OPEN

A few months ago, Niall got a phone call from his manager saying that he was booked on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and since he knew that you were pretty much head over heels for Jimmy Fallon, he invited you along, and ever since then, you've been counting down the days. It's not like he hasn't been on there before, but whenever he was doing press tours with One Direction, you were barely with him, and you were never invited, on account of their PR managers, never wanting them to be seen with girls, unless it was for a promotion.

It was a short drive from Massachusetts, where your parents lived, and since you haven't seen them in so long, Niall decided it would be a good idea to stay with them for a few days before driving up to New York for the show.

"Ready, love?" he smiled at you, shrugging on a jacket.

"Have fun" your mom said, giving you a hug, your dad standing close by to give you one after, "It was  great to see you" your father said before shifting his eyes at Niall, "Take care of her"

Niall's face went serious for a second while looking your father in the eyes, saying "Always, sir". It's not often then got to see you and Niall together. Even at first when you told them you were dating him, and told them who he was, they didn't believe you, that is, until you moved out of the house and to LA with him. Road trips with Niall were always fun, just imagine the time that One Direction did carpool karaoke with James Corden, except it was only Niall singing to songs that came on the radio, and luckily, since he was driving, you were able to pick the music.

"Veto" Niall said, hitting the button on his steering wheel to change the song. "Niall!" you whined, causing him to give you side eye, "I love that song"

"You said I could change it if I didn’t like it" he chuckled at you.

"Yeah, but I didn’t think you actually would, don’t you want me to be happy?" you said dramatically.

"Don't be so dramatic, (y/n)" he smirked, changing the song back. The hearing Niall sing dramatically bad to it, because he was honestly very petty when he didn't get his way. However, you were also very petty, and there was no way he would out petty you, so you just screamed the lyrics over his voice, and pretended that you both could still actually hear the song. 

When the song ended, you both eyed each other and giggled, because no matter how annoying Niall was, he was the love of your life.

"So" you said, turning down the music, "have you thought about what you're going to say on the show?" 

Niall shrugged, "Not really, and I don't even know what they'll ask"

"Okay" you shrugged back, "What if they ask about the band"

"Easy" he said simply, taking a right into the studio parking lot, "We're all doing our own things and it's still a possibility of getting back together".

"So you're just gonna wing it" you motioned, rolling your eyes.

"Yep, pretty much" he smiled at you as he turned around to pack into a space. The studio was huge and there were about a hundred people waiting outside, including paparazzi trying to say hello to Niall. These were always the awkward moments, where Niall would smile and wave, and greet every fan that was standing in line to get into the studio and see him get interviewed, and you would stand behind, awkwardly following him with a smile as paparazzi took pictures of you, which always turned out to be unflattering.

Niall took a picture with a few of them, almost getting mobbed before a security guard jumped in and guided him into the building.  A lot of the girls that were there liked to give you dirty looks, like Niall purposely cheated on them with you, and some girls fanned over you, and told you how much they loved things about you.

"Thanks, man" he said to the guard that pulled him through, leading you two to the green room to get his hair and make up done.

"Damn" you admired, spinning around, looking at the spacious room.

"What?" he asked nonchalantly, getting a bottle of water out of the fridge. "Uh" you started, "this room"

"Oh" he said, realizing you admiring the couch, TV and the muffin basket that thanked him for making the trip, "It's not too bad" 

You whipped around to look at him like he was crazy, sure he might be used to getting special treatment, but this was all new to you, and even though he sent you pictures of the green rooms he's been in before, they all looked tiny compared to this, but you found he was smiling at you when you met his eyes.

"You're beautiful" he said, crossing the room to pull you into a hug.

"Thanks" you said, confused, all you did was look around the room.

"It's always so cute watching you react to the little things, reminds me how good I got it" he said kissing the top of your head.

"Well thanks" you said with a smile looking up at him, "I think I've got it good too". He gave you a little kiss when you heard a knock on the door and discounted with him so he could go answer it.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Horan, were here to do your hair and make-up, they're almost ready to start filming.

"Yeah, of course" he said, letting them past him, and sitting in front of the vanity while they touched up all his little imperfections that could only be seen in front of studio lights, "how are you ladies doing?" he asked, striking up small talk with them.

When hair and make up was done, they left asking if either of you needed anything to which, of course Niall said no to, he's never one to bother anyone with a task that he can do his-self.

A few moments, and selfies that he put on his instastory later, more knocking came to the door, and in walked Jimmy Fallon, to which you immediately stopped breathing and just stared at him while he talked to Niall.

"And this is my girlfriend, (y/n)" Niall introduced. You didn’t know what to say or what to do, out of all the people Niall has introduced you to, this had to be the top of your list.

Jimmy laughed and look at Niall with a big grin on his face, "is she okay?"

Niall laughed along with him, trying to get your attention, or even to say something, "she's a huge fan of yours"

"Ohhh" Jimmy dragged out, "Well nice to meet you, (y/n)" 

Jimmy looked a little awkwarded out, it’s not that you were too starstruck to say anything at this point, it was that you didn't know what to say, and this was also a time where you put this into your reasons I could never be famous list.

"Hi, nice to meet you" you finally said, shakily.

"Oh my god" Jimmy laughed, "She speaks, for a minute there I thought you were mute"

"I'm so sorry" you laughed back, "I'm just such a big fan of yours, and I'm new to this whole 'meeting celebrities' thing"

Niall sat beside you, with his arm around your shoulders, feeling that you were shaking, and laughing mostly at that than what you just said to Jimmy.

"Do you just hide her to yourself?" Jimmy joked.

"I try to" Niall laughed, "I don't want somebody stealing her away from me" Jimmy moved on from his conversation with you, and moved it back to Niall, he was the one that going to get interviewed after all, and Jimmy wanted to go over with Niall how the show would go, even though he was used to these things.

"Alright" Jimmy said, getting up and clapping his hands together, signaling that this was done, "I'll see you in a few minutes then”.

"Why am I so awkward?" you shoved your head into Niall's chest with a groan. "I thought it was cute" Niall chuckled, kissing your head again, "come on".

He helped you up and took your hand, leading you out of them room to the stage hand that was waiting at the door. She brought Niall over to the opening where Jimmy's stage was, and you to the backstage room where you can see from the screen everything that was going. Jimmy made all of his usual jokes in his monologue, and then sat down and introduced Niall to the audience who erupted into immediate cheers. It sent an immediate chill down your body, and made you realize for the millionth time, just how proud of your boyfriend you were.

"Heeeey, welcome" Jimmy greeted as Niall walked out with a grin on his face, "How have you been?"

Niall settled into the chair, smiling at the audience and waiting for the cheers to die down. "It's been great" Niall finally said.

Jimmy started out asking him questions about the album, all about how he found his sound, what he's been doing with the One Direction hiatus, and if they're ever going to get back together, to which Niall responded exactly how he did when you asked him the trial question in the car. He went in to tell Jimmy how proud he is of the boys, how he still talks to them, and plans on going to their shows.

And then, "So I met your lovely lady backstage just now, how long have you guys been together?" This was the train wreck you didn't want to see, at least, in your mind, it was a train wreck, anything that had to do with you, was automatically a train wreck during any interview.

"It's been a few years" he confirmed, hearing the audience cheer, "It'll actually be 3 years in December"

He remembered was all you could think about afterwards.

"So she's been through a lot with you? I didn't realize you were together for that long" Jimmy said in awe.

"She a beautiful woman" he complimented quickly, earning an 'aw' from the audience, "I love her with all me heart, yeah" he smiled, "she was the first person I saw when I woke up from surgery, she has always stayed up for a call after a show, and held down the fort when I'm off promoting my music. She's my number one fan, and I wouldn't be able to do anything without her."

"She sounds wonderful" Jimmy said, causing you to wildly blush even though you weren't even near him.

"So how did you two meet" Jimmy questioned further.

Here we go you thought.

"It's a funny story actually, because she wasn't really a fan of One Direction or myself when I first met her, she actually kind of just brushed it off" he chuckled. "She used to work security in one of the stadiums we played, and as soon as she saw us walk into the room for the meet and greets she rolled her eyes, and later in the day, I actually went to go talk to her, and she just wasn't having it. Jimmy laughed, slapping his hand on the table, while you just faceplamed yourself in the back of the studio.

"How'd you get her to go out with you?" Jimmy asked, laughing. Niall was chuckling, his face a little red at the story, "I just asked her out after every fan she escorted out, and she flat out said no for the first, probably 40 times, and then finally she said 'yes, if it'll shut you up' and here we are now" Jimmy continued laughing, making small comments about it, "And you've been together for 3 years!?"

Niall chuckled again, playing with his hands that were knitted together, "Yeah, I mean, I knew she was the one when I first saw her, so I had to just keep trying and trying until she either said yes, or just like punched me in the face".

"That's hilarious" Jimmy cooled down a bit, "Well I'm glad you're with such a sweet girl that makes you as happy as you are now"

"Thank you" Niall added as his mic cut out and Jimmy ended the interview segment, saying Niall will be performing when they come back.

The show cut, and Niall walked back to see you blushing wildly with a stupid grin on your face, "You couldn't make something up"

Niall laughed at how embarrassed you were with him telling the world how you met, pulling you into a hug "I think it's funny". 

"It is" you admitted, "But now the whole world knows that I hated you when we first met"

You gave him a sad lip, to which he just leaned down and gave you a kiss, "and look where we are now" he smiled.

You hugged him and inhaled his scent, he always doused himself with the cologne he's been wearing since the day you met him, and the day you actually went out with him, and it always took you right back to that room with all the boys, and Niall asking you in between greets, if he could take you out. In the same tone, with the same words, until he drove you mad enough to say yes, thinking, one date, and you would never have to see him or his stupid band again, not knowing that three years later, you would be at Jimmy Fallon with him, telling him how amazing he is, and having him tell the world, something you kept secret for so long.

"So you would've stopped if I punched you?" you joked, hugging him still. Niall only laughed and tilted your head for a kiss, "maybe" was all he said, giving you one last kiss before he went to preform Slow Hands.

THIS SUCKS IM SORRY
