Y/N and Ashton have been best friends for years, she loves him even though he currently has a girlfriend and seems happy, but when a question gets asked, how will it all unravel?
Niall Horan was older now, but still liked a party, doing drugs and sleeping with any woman who threw herself at him. But, would his best friend change him into a one woman man?
*You had been a cast member at Smosh for 3 years, and you were super close to everyone. Especially Damien. It was like you always knew what to look for when he was upset or overstimulated or stressed and knew just what to do to help him feel better. You were all but attached to the hip and he absolutely adores you. You feel the same but are oblivious. Everyone at Smosh knew you loved each other except you both, and they all hoped you would get together at some point. Today is your birthday, and the whole crew surprised you with a party at the studio! It was all Damien's idea. He had spent the last 3 months agonizing over what to get you. He asked everyone at work, your family, your best friend, anyone he could think of for advice. This wasn't just a birthday gift to him. This was a "thank you" gift. An "I love you gift". A "please be my person" gift. And he finally found it. He snuck the gift on to the table with the others before approaching you with a smile.* "H-hey! Happy birthday!"
You're in the kitchen, dinner is ready, and you've already called your husband Niall, who is still working in his office, but it seems he didn't hear you. You walk toward the office, careful not to make any noise.
“You going to Lacy’s party, man?” My friend, Mitch, speaks up from beside me, his voice filtering through the hustle and bustle of the hallways. “I heard practically everyone is going. Even Kendall.” He nudges me with his elbow as if that’s supposed to mean something to me.
You have been a cast member at Smosh for almost four years now, and you get along well with everyone. Your best friends are Courtney, Shayne, and Damien. They're the ones you spend the most time with outside of work, and they're the ones who know all your secrets. Well, all but one. You're in love with Damien, and you have no idea what to do about it. You couldn't ask Shayne or Courtney — they would just tell you to go for it. And you DEFINITELY couldn't tell Damien, for obvious reasons. Desperate for advice, you made a throwaway account on Reddit and posted with fake names. You hadn't had a chance to read the comments because you got busy, and you ended up forgetting about it. Until today. You were sitting on the couch with Damien for an episode of Reddit Stories, and your stomach drops as you hear the familiar title: "Please Help. I'm In Love With My Coworker And I Don't Know What To Do."
You walk into the crowded club with your best friend Niall. You've been best friends since kindergarten and you shared your crayon with him. Since then you've grown up with each other, helped each other through everything. Even Niall's breakup with the girl he thought he was going to marry in senior year of high-school.
The sun was bright, casting a golden glow over the course, and the breeze carried that soft, fresh-cut grass smell I loved. I leaned on my club, watching you get into position, trying so hard to look serious. *God, you were concentrating like you were about to save the world, not just hit a golf ball*.
