7 || Moment I Knew

                                    

                                          
This is for Liam's birthday, so it stars Liam, but it has the other guys in there too. I must warn you it's not your typical happy birthday story, which you probably already knew if you have ever heard the song Moment I Knew before.
                          
Liam is sitting up on his hotel room bed with his phone in his hand scrolling through twitter. He's reading all the Happy Birthday messages from the fans each one making the smile on his face grow a little more. It was amazing to him how much they could care about someone they hardly knew, but he guesses he shouldn't be because he cares about them just as much. He wishes he could tell them all just how much, but he can't so instead he clicks their follow buttons instead.
                          
There's a knock on the hotel room door, and he looks out the peephole before answering. It's Harry. He opens the door up with a grin. "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought we agreed everyone would come up at 6 pm for the celebration." Liam says. He had celebrated his birthday with his family yesterday, because he had to be in Michigan for their next concert. He insisted he'd had enough celebration with his family, but the boys insisted on at least hanging out in his hotel room for his actual birthday day.
                          
"Yeah, I just came to help set up." Harry explains.
                          
"Set up? I thought we were just going to hang out and maybe have some cake." Liam says frowning a bit. "I don't want a-"
                          
"Don't worry Liam, I didn't bring much." Harry says. Liam looks at the cake box in his hand with a few candles on top as well as a batman birthday hat. He smiles down at the little hat. He rolls his eyes still smiling. "Fine," He sighs.
                          
"Great!" Harry grins. He then reaches to the left of him pulling a little red wagon from around the corner into the hotel room.
                          
"I've just been tricked, haven't I?" Liam asks as he exams the things in the wagon. There's streamers, much more party hats, pin the tail on the donkey, a package of balloons to blow up, goodie bags, a happy birthday banner, and some little noise making toys that children tend to play with. "You do realize I'm not five, right?" Liam asks.
                          
"Of course I do, see?" Harry asks reaching into the wagon to pull out a bottle of wine with a red ribbon wrapped around it. When he does this a ton of sparkles fall on the ground. Liam frowns at the mess, but Harry just smiles wider pushing the bottle into his hands.
                          
Liam rolls his eyes once more, but says nothing else as Harry begins to decorate the hotel room. 
                          
Later on around 6 pm Niall and Louis show up together.
                          
"What the hell?" Louis asks as he steps into the room. Which now has balloons everywhere, including on the wall, streamers, glitter, and much more. He looks over to Harry who is currently hanging another balloon on the wall. "I thought we agreed on just a few balloons?" He asks.
                          
"We did! But they were having a sale, so I decided to get a few more things." Harry explains.
                          
"This is a hell of a lot of shit for a few more things." Niall laughs as he kicks a balloon into the air. 
                          
Harry catches it. Then he looks around the room examining it. "Maybe I did go a little over board." Harry says.
                          
"A little?" Louis asks. Harry frowns throwing the balloon at Louis.
                          
"Whatever, it doesn't matter guys all that matters is that we're all here together." Niall says. They both nod in agreement.
                          
"Well not all," Liam says as he looks towards the door.
                          
"Oh yeah, I forgot you invited the trader." Louis says obviously a bit bitter.
                          
"Don't talk about him that way, he's still our friend. We haven't seen him since the day he left, so I would really like tonight to go smoothly." Liam explains.
