"I chickened out," Niall sighed.

Louis furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you mean? With Liam? Is he still there?" he asked.

"Yeah, hence the reason I'm whispering. We both passed out on the couch last night. He's in the kitchen right now. I was gonna make a move yesterday but I got scared," he told his friend.

Louis bit his lip, not quite knowing what to tell him, "I, uh, I don't know. Just... do it now, then," he shrugged, leaning against the counter, "I got to go, Harry and I are driving down to see family. He said yes, by the way, if you were wondering," Louis smiled proudly.

"That's amazing!" Niall gasped, "I've taken too long, we'll talk later," he said before hanging up.

Harry emerged from the bathroom, "I hate this cast," he grumbled, but couldn't help the smile that came to his face when he slipped into Louis' embrace. The older man took a hold of his hand, locking their fingers together. He brought his hands up to his lips, and kissed one of the fainted scars on his wrist, then the knuckle the ring was on. The gesture made Harry smile, and he turned his head to kiss Louis softly on the lips.

Meanwhile Niall had just leaned against the counter next to were Liam was sitting on top of it. He was sipping on his tea and trying to thinking of what Niall had wanted to tell him the night before but didn't get to. "Hey N-"

"Liam," Niall cut him off, moving so that he stood in between his friend's legs, "don't hate me," he said, his voice quiet. Liam looked at him in confusion, but before he knew it Niall's lips were on his, his hands cupping his cheeks. Liam was undeniably surprised, but sighed against Niall's lips and kissed back, moving his hand to wrap around the blonde mans waist. Niall took the older mans bottom lip in between his own, and both were slightly panting as they pulled away.

Their foreheads leaned against each other's. A minute passed until Liam's eyes widened, "Oh my god, I-I, Niall, w-we can't," he stuttered, realization of what he just did dawning on him. He looked to the side frantically, for some reason scared that someone saw them when they were alone.

"Yes we can," Niall breathed, kissing Liam again. Liam kissed back for a second, but then shook his head and pulled away.

"No, I have a girlfriend," he protested, getting down off of the counter, and rushing around to grab his jacket, phone and shoes. He shoved his feet into his shoes, and threw his jumper on as he reached the door. Niall was on his tail, following him blindly.

"Liam, please-"

"No, Niall I... I-I...." his voice trailed off, seeing the shorter boy looking at him with a look of sadness and loss. He sighed, dipping his head down to kiss his friend one last time. He cupped Niall's cheek, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips and then forehead. "I'm sorry," he whispered, seeming to want to say something else. But he just closed his mouth and exited the house, allowing Niall to shut the door and bang his fist against the wall in frustration.

"I'm nervous about Niall. Well, Niall and Liam," Louis bit his lip, "aren't you? Cause I mean, Liam and Sophia's relationship is kind of on and off, but last we knew they weren't together. Unless they got back together and didn't inform us. Oh god, I don't know. Why did I tell him to make a move without knowing? I'm such a bad friend, he's going to hate me if things went wrong," Louis groaned, running his hand over his face.
