One direction/ 5 seconds of summer one-shots

Unraveling truths: Nialls Anguish:

As One Direction reunited, the air crackled with tension, and Niall Horan's heart pounded with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. He couldn't shake the lingering resentment he felt toward his bandmates for allowing Zayn to walk away. It gnawed at him, festering beneath the surface, threatening to boil over at any moment.

When they finally gathered together, Niall's anger simmered just beneath the surface, waiting for the slightest provocation to erupt into a raging inferno. And when his bandmates revealed the secret they had been keeping from him about Zayn's departure, it was like a match to tinder.

"You knew?" Niall's voice trembled with disbelief, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at each of his bandmates in turn. "You all knew Zayn was leaving, and you didn't tell me?"

His bandmates exchanged guilty glances, unable to meet Niall's accusing gaze. They had kept the truth from him, fearing that it would only add to his pain and confusion. But now, faced with his righteous anger, they knew they had made a grave mistake.

"We thought it was for the best, Niall," Louis confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "We didn't want to hurt you any more than you already were."

But Niall wasn't ready to accept their excuses, not when they had kept such a monumental secret from him. His anger bubbled to the surface, spilling out in a torrent of hurtful words and accusations.

"You had no right!" Niall's voice cracked with emotion, his fists clenched at his sides as he struggled to contain the storm raging within him. "I trusted you, and you all betrayed me. You left me in the dark, isolated and alone."

His bandmates recoiled from his words, their own guilt mirrored in the depths of their eyes. They had failed Niall – failed to support him when he needed them most, failed to uphold the bonds of brotherhood that had once bound them together.

And as Niall's anger boiled over, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of resentment toward his bandmates for icing him out in the years following Zayn's departure. He had tried to maintain contact, to keep their friendship alive, but they had all but shut him out.

"You think you're the only one who suffered, Niall?" Liam's voice was tinged with frustration, his own pent-up emotions spilling out in a rush of words. "We all went through hell when Zayn left. We were hurting too."

Niall's jaw clenched at Liam's words, his anger igniting like a wildfire. How dare Liam dismiss his pain so callously? How dare he suggest that Niall's suffering was insignificant compared to their own?

"You have no idea what I went through!" Niall's voice echoed with fury, his eyes ablaze with indignation. "You think you can just brush off my feelings like they don't matter? Well, they do, Liam. They matter a hell of a lot!"

Liam recoiled at Niall's outburst, his own guilt writ large on his face. He hadn't meant to dismiss Niall's pain – he had been speaking from his own hurt and frustration. But now, faced with Niall's righteous anger, he realized the depth of his mistake.

"I'm sorry, Niall," Liam whispered, his voice thick with remorse. "I didn't mean to invalidate your feelings. You're right – you went through hell, and we should have been there for you."

And in that moment, as the weight of their shared pain hung heavy in the air, Niall and Liam found themselves bound together by a newfound understanding and empathy. They realized that their friendship was worth fighting for, worth forgiving and rebuilding from the ground up.

As they navigated the tumultuous waters of their reconciliation, Niall and One Direction found themselves caught in a delicate dance of forgiveness and understanding. They began to talk, to air their grievances and confront the demons that had driven them apart.

With each heartfelt conversation, the walls between them began to crumble, replaced by a newfound sense of empathy and unity. They realized that their friendship was worth fighting for, worth forgiving and rebuilding from the ground up.

And in the end, it was their shared experiences and unwavering bond that brought them back together. As they embraced, their wounds finally beginning to heal, Niall and One Direction knew that their friendship was stronger than any hurtful words or past regrets.

As they stepped into the next chapter of their lives, hand in hand, Niall felt a sense of peace wash over him. Their journey had been fraught with pain and heartache, but through it all, they had emerged stronger and more resilient than ever before.

And as they faced the future together, Niall knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them as brothers – united by their shared history, their enduring bond, and the unbreakable ties that bound them together as One Direction.
