Zayn's Pov:
Times a great healer. You may not see it at the time but as time goes on it starts to show. Everything heals after time, Even the worse pain starts to become easier to deal with. Then something happens, Something that you didn't expect, Like falling for your bestfriend after years of not speaking. You see it happen in movies and you read about it in books and you think it's only fiction, Shit like that could never happen in the real world, But let me tell you it can happen. I never thought I'd wake up one morning to find Niall sleeping soundly beside me, I never thought I'd go as far as to say I'm falling madly inlove with him, Yet here we are. Niall's fast asleep beside me, Were cuddled close together, He's in my clothes in my bed, Nothing could be more perfect than this. I meant every word I said to Niall, I want to protect him and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I groaned loudly as my alarm clock began going off signaling it was time for us to get up and start getting ready for school, I then began to gently shake Niall who seemed to sleep through the whole thing.
"Can you teach your alarm clock about lay ins?" Niall groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Good morning to you too sunshine" I replied with a chuckle.
"Do we really have to get up? I'm to comfy" Niall exclaimed as he cuddled really close to me.
"Afraid so, Now get out of bed and get that ass of yours in the shower before I throw water over you" I replied before placing a quick kiss to Niall's lips, I then jumped out of bed and walked out the door hearing Niall state that I wasn't fair, I shook my head with a smile before making my way downstairs into the kitchen.
"Zayn I'm scared about what people are going to say, I mean what if they target you for dating a nerd?" Niall exclaimed as we drove to school.
"I don't care what anyone says, And if they do have a problem they can come and take it up with me face to face, So don't worry and if anyone gives you any trouble just come and tell me" I stated while keeping my eyes firmly on the road.
"You can't always be there to save me Zayn" Niall whispered, I sighed.
"Niall if you want to keep us quiet for a little longer we can, I don't want you to feel like I'm forcing you to do this" I informed him, Niall however shook his head.
"No I want to, I'm just worried that's all" Niall replied.
"Well you don't have to be, Besides I'd be more worried about Cher breathing fire at them if they even glare at you" I replied, Niall laughed happily as we pulled into the school parking lot, I turned off the engine before turning to Niall. "You ready?" I asked, Niall nodded his head before unbuckling his belt, He then grabbed his bag and climbed out the car, I repeated his action locking the car as I did so. I then walked up to Niall and placed my arm around his shoulder, Niall leaned into my touch and we began walking into school. As we walked into school it felt like everything had gone silent and all eyes were on Niall and I, If looks could kill I think you can safely say Niall and I would be long gone by now, But we just ignored it keeping our heads held high. I smiled as I saw Liam giving me a supportive thumbs up, Niall then spotted Cher and he grinned happily.
"Go on I'll see you at lunch" I said to Niall before pulling him into a gentle kiss, Niall blushed before quickly making his way over to Cher.
"Well you kept that quiet" Liam said as we sat down listening to the teacher explain what we would be doing today.
"It sort of just happened you know? But were taking things really slow" I replied, Liam nodded his head before putting on his safety goggles for the experiment.
"Well I'm happy for you mate, How's Niall been holding up?" Liam asked as I grabbed various different test tubes.
"He's taking each day as it comes, He has good and bad days but he's hanging in there" I replied as the teacher walked past us placing a work sheet on the table as he went, Liam and I continued to talk throughout the whole class, I hoped Niall's lessons were going as well as mine were.
At lunchtime I practically bolted for the lunchhall I was so eager to see Niall, After a few moments I spotted him sitting in the corner with Cher, I then made my way over to them, The second Niall saw me his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face.
"Alright how was class?" I asked as I took a seat beside Niall, I then pulled him against me so his back was resting against my chest.
"It was ok" Niall mumbled as he linked our fingers together.
"There were a few prats throwing some comments around and throwing paper balls at him but I soon put them in there place" Cher informed me.
"It will be old news in a few days Nialler" I stated as I gently stroked Niall's palm.
"With them yeah, But Zayn I swear if you do anything at all to hurt him I'll r-"
"You'll kill me with your bare hands, I know Cher, But I won't be hurting him" I assured her, Cher nodded her head before leaving to grab a few books from the library.
"How did the boys take the news?" Niall asked as he leaned forward to take a bite of his lunch.
"Liam was cool with it, Haven't seen Lou and Haz but they will be alright" I explained as I took a gulp of Niall's water.
"Erm Zayn when are we going to tell your mum about us?" Niall asked.
"Whenever you want to babe, She's working late tonight" I informed him.
"What about tomorrow?" Niall asked, I nodded my head in agreement causing a smile to spread across Niall's face, He then leaned up and pulled me into a tight embrace, I smiled before gently kissing his neck, My mum adores Niall and so do I, So I know for a fact she will be ok with it, She may be shocked about me being gay but she's always supported my decisions I know it won't be any different this time.
