***Niall's POV***
I was in shock at what I saw. It was Harry, shirtless and some other guy with shortish black hair and stubble around his chin. He was attractive ill give him that but they were both shirtless. I didn't really know what to make of this scene. Did I interrupt something? I felt a pang of jealousy in the pit of my stomach. I didn't really understand why it was there but I couldn't shake it.
I was snapped out of my trance when Harry asked, "Hi! Not that I don't like to see you and all, but what are you doing here?"
"Ummm... Er... I just wanted to talk to you, but you seem busy I can come back later."
"No it's fine we can talk now!" He nearly shouted. "Let me get shirt on and we can go for a walk ok? Hold on." Before I could respond he shut the door in my face and left me standing in the hall.
***Harry's POV***
"Zayn!" I shouted. "He has come! He has come!" I couldn't stop shaking with excitement. "This what has been goin on between us is now over. Sorry." I said with a smirk and headed for the door. "Aw but ill miss you hazz!" He called as I stepped our into the dimply lot hallway with Niall.
"Sorry for shutting the door in your face. I was just a quick reaction. I didn't mean it."
"It's alright Harry. I don't care. I just want to talk about before." He asked. His face began to get a mixture between excitement and worry. A light blushed painted his cheeks.
"Alright." I looked down a little embarrassed.
"What was it? And I don't mean literally. I mean why did you do it? Not that I didn't like it!" He rushed out.
"I... I like... I like you Niall. I wasn't sure if you felt the same way or if you were even into guys at all. I needed to know before I drove myself crazy."
"Well... Obviously I didn't stop the kiss, but this, us, can't happen. The whole into guys thing has gotten me into trouble before and I can't trust it. I need to keep my place here in this school a peaceful one. I can't go around making a fool out of myself." Niall seemed a bit sad with saying these things. My cheeks got red hit with embarrassment. I couldn't believe what he was saying. I wanted so badly for him to say that he enjoyed it and we could be together. I wanted him. I wanted him to be mine. I didn't want to move on from these irresistible desires for him.
"Okay then..." I forced back tears that were threatening to spill over my cheeks. I felt the usual lump start to form in my throat.
I started to speak again but I felt the lump block my ability to form any words whatsoever. My knees began to tremble. I wasn't sure how long I could keep myself from breaking down right now.
"So... Are we ok? I'm sort if that's not what you wanted to hear."
"Ya... Ya we are fine." I croaked out the words with agony because the lump became my entire throat. I began to turn around and head towards my room when the first tear escaped my grasp.
The burning wet that stained my cheeks was flooding over my face with every new tear that spilled over. I couldn't keep them in anymore but I reached my door. I rushed through the opening and walked over to Zayn. He saw face and began trying comfort me. He was never good at it.
Rubbing my back he said random things like, "he wasn't that important," and "he sucks anyway," and "he probably has a small dick!"
"I laughed at the last one but it was very half hearted. I couldn't do anything that made myself feel worse. All I could do was go back to my old ways. I looked at Zayn's face and he knew what I wanted. I leaned in and quickly and accurately he closed the space pressing our lips together.
***Louis' POV***
I was walking back to my room after I left Liam's room. I couldn't handle being apart from. He was just so, indescribably alluring. He just made me feel weak in the knees but more powerful than anything. I couldn't handle all these emotions. I was pretty sure that he was into me and I wanted to ask him out. Correction. I planned to ask him out later tonight.
Niall was sobbing and went into the room. I watched as he stumbled with the keys in his hands. I walked the rest of the way down the hall and reached out to him. He pulled back at first not realizing it was me. I pulled his keys out of his hands gently and unlocked our door.
We entered together, him first and I followed. He slumped into his bed on his side of the room and fell onto his back. I watched his chest rise and fall slowly and heard slight repressed sobs escape his throat. I couldn't bare the quiet between us so made my way over to his bed and sat next to his legs.
He looked up at me directly junto my eyes. "What's wrong Niall? I'm here for you. You know that right. I'm your roommate for god sake."
"It's nothing important. I just had to talk to someone. And it wasn't a talk I wanted to do." He explained with strain in his voice recalling whatever had happened.
"Ok well I'm here if you ever want to talk about it. I will let you be then." I got up and crossed the small room to my desk. I had plopped my bag into my desk. Pulling out my text book trying to actually get my mind on the reason I'm here in the first place, school, I heard my text alert from my pocket.
I read the text out loud to myself in a muffled whisper, "emergency!" It read from Liam. "Meet me down in the lobby!" I wonder what he wanted. I just left. But I could imagine what he had wanted, and what qualified as an emergency. Not taking any chances I grabbed my coat and ran. Who knows maybe he was one of those only say emergency when it actually is an emergency types. Who knows?
I found him at the bottom of the staircase slightly off to the left. His hands were behind his back and he wore a tight black long sleeve shirt with a nice collared button up, unbuttoned. Stepping towards me he brought his hands to the front of him.
I was shocked at what was in his hands. I only mentioned it once. They were lilacs. My favorite. And his next words surprised me even more.
"Louis," he said firmly and deeply, "will you go out with me tonight, on a date?" He stuttered on the last word just a little showing that he was a little nervous.
I stood shocked with a little grin on my face. He probably thought I was mental but I could be more shocked and happy.
"Yes! Yes of course I will! Where? When?" I choked out in a rush.
"Meet me here at eight. Ok?" He said with a wink and walked off.
"Sounds like a date!" I called after him. I walked slowly with my new lilacs with one worry on my mind. What was I going to wear in this date tonight!
