1D bromance one shots!

The lights will guide you home-lilo

My school started  on Tuesday and I'm having a mental breakdown just thinking about it... Junior year for me... Yay... (Note the extreme amount of sarcasm). I also found out Kanye west is running for president. Can you imagine trying to explain to your children that the candidates for the 2015-2020 election were Donald Trump, Kanye West, and Mr. Deez Nuts? Future textbooks are going to be amazing, aren't they? Jesus Christ...I started reading the Death Cure and I'm not okay. At all.

Louis' POV

I shivered and drew my coat closer to me. Damn it, why do London streets have to have absolutely no cabs during Christmas holiday? The lights shone from every store window, lighting the streets in different colours. I smiled softly. Even if I'm freezing my ass off, the lights are still beautiful. 

"Taxi!" I shouted again at the passing taxis that raced down the street. 

Apparently, Christmas time meant everyone needed a taxi when you needed one. I stepped closer to the Christmas gift store I had exited a half hour ago, trying to stand in the light to get warmer. The lights shone  down on the ice forming in the cracks around the windowsill. This was my favourite part of  Christmas. The lights that were put up everywhere. They shone so beautifully and made the snow sparkle in all the colours of the rainbow. I sighed, staring at the lights and blowing on my hands to get them warm.  I should have put on gloves before leaving the flat, but this store was having a sale that ended soon, and I was excited to get presents for y best mates, so I forgot to grab gloves. 

The lights twinkled down at me like multicoloured stars. I stared  at them. Somehow, even though I'm cold and tired, I feel a sense of calm, looking at those tiny fluorescent lights.  

"They're beautiful, aren't they?" A deep voice beside me made me jump, dropping my shopping bag. 

"Oh sorry! I didn't mean to scared you." I bent down to pick the bag up, checking to make sure my gifts were okay before I turned back to the person speaking. I froze. Oh good lord this boy is gorgeous.  He was tall, a few inches more than me (Louis is smol too Hehehehe). He had brown hair gelled into a quiff, and deep brown eyes. And he had the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen in my life. 

I didn't realise I had been staring until he cleared his throat. I felt my face go red. 

"The lights are beautiful, aren't they?" He spoke in his deep voice. 

I nodded, smiling softly. 

"They're the best part of Christmas."

He nodded and smiled.

"They make everything look magical." He looked over at the lights on the trees. "The snow sparkles in the light and the trees don't look as ugly as they do normally, being bare of leaves and all, and the lights look the tiny stars." 

I stared at him. He didn't look older than 20, yet somehow his words made him seem older, more mature. And he understood the way the lights made everything beautiful. 

"My thoughts exactly." I smiled. 

"What are you doing out here so late? It's not safe for someone so beautiful to be out this late." 

I blushed at his compliment.

"Shopping. Forgot to do gift shipping for the family. If I didn't turn up for Christmas hols with gifts, my sisters would slaughter me." 

He laughed.

"I know that feeling."  

"What's your name?" I asked, intrigued with this boy. 

"Liam. Liam Payne. And you?" 

"Louis Tomlinson." 

"Well, Louis Tomlinson, may I tell you, you're as beautiful as the Christmas lights?" 

I looked at my feet,. Nobody has ever said something so sweet before. 

"If you don't mind, I'd love to get to know you more. Is that okay?" He asked.

Oh dear god what is going on? Is this a dream? Because normally I don't get extremely gorgeous men asking me out. 

I nodded slightly and his face lit up. His smile was just as bright as the lights.  He held out his phone. 

"If love to stay in contact." He said.

I nodded and punched in my number, handing him my own phone. He fiddled with it for a minute before handing it back. With a smile and a wave, this gorgeous man turned and walked down the sidewalk. 

Oh good lord... Did I seriously just do that? But, thinking back, I saw his smile, that bright smile, bright as the lights I loved so much. And maybe I didn't do something that stupid. Maybe this was a Christmas miracle. And the lights were my lucky charm.
