If They Only Knew (One Direction One-Shot) (boy x boy)

Dedicated to my bestie @soulxkojima cuz she's been waiting for me to post this since forever. :)

She also has a Louis fanfic called "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust." It;s humour... plus something else entirely. xD

My best friend. Louis Tomlinson. In a relationship. With my other best friend. Zayn Malik.

How did things get so out of hand?

I sighed for the millionth time since they broke the news at the top of the morning. But the thing is, it’s not just them being “together” that I’m bothered about. It’s the fact that they’ve been together for three months – three fucking long months! – before they told us about their relationship.

And the worst part? I’m in love with Louis William Tomlinson.

-:-:-:-:-

“Harreeeeehhhhh!!!” Louis screamed while running down the corridor, trying to catch up with me and the medics. What happened? Well then, let’s have a quick recap, shall we?

It’s been another three months since Zayn and Louis told us about their relationship, which means that they have been together for half a year now. By this time, everyone already knew of their status. Everyone being family, close friends, Uncle Si, management, and security. The fans knew nothing of it.

Both of them have made numerous attempts to tell it to the fans. But every time they almost do, I make a scene. Why? Because I haven’t gotten over my love for Louis. I will always fight for my love for him, I will never give up. And unless Louis isn’t mine, the fans can’t know that Zouis is in action and no longer just a bromance but a romance. No way is that going to happen in my watch. Ever.

So back to the present time, my ankle hurts like hell and I think I’ve done more damage to it than I intended. I only wanted to sprain it, but now I think it’s dislocated. Oh, whatever. The plan worked, didn’t it? That’s all that matters right now.

Over the course of three months, I have done lots and lots and lots of attempts to keep them from announcing their relationship. Once, I jumped off the stage to distract them and ran around the whole arena – until security caught me. That took about thirty minutes (record time), so they forgot about the “big announcement” and just went on with the concert. Another, one of my favorites, I faked fainted at national television. It was quite hilarious on my part, I must say. And then there’s this. I “accidentally” sprained my ankle so that we would have to rush and shorten the concert.

Thinking back, I realize that I have been doing a good job at keeping the two at bay. “Nice one, Styles,” I complimented myself.

Just as a smirk was forming on my mouth, I saw Liam out of the corner of my eye shaking his head at me. Again, I released a sigh. Liam, being Daddy Direction and all, knew us pretty well. Plus, he was good at reading every one of us. It was a miracle he didn’t find out about Zayn and Louis beforehand! Anyway, not a week after the two of them came out to us, he already knew something was up with me. After two straight days, non-stop, of him nagging me, I finally caved in. Out of everyone in the band, Liam was the only one who knew of my true feelings towards Louis. I think Niall suspects something, but he never voiced out his concerns.

“You know… I think we should postpone telling the fans about our relationship…” Louis started when the five of us were alone in the dressing room.

“Wh-What? Why? But…”

“Zayn… Babe,” I flinched at Louis’ words. How I wish that I was the one he was calling that. “You know how much I love you,” he continued, “but Harry’s our best mate and, if you haven’t noticed, every time we try to tell the public about us… something terrible happens to him.”
