Only In My Fantasies ((Larry Stylinson))

Chapter 5

"Good morning Nialler" I smiled at Niall who was flushed all the way from his face to the tips of his fingers.

"Hey" Niall said as he grabbed a piece of toast. He was oddly quiet which made me smile.

"Why so quiet Nialler?" I asked, grabbing a piece of toast and some bacon for myself.

Mum had an urgent meeting so early in the morning and dad always drove her everywhere and anywhere, leaving me and Niall to eat and cook on our own. 

"Nothing" Niall said, his voice muffled by the bacon in his mouth.

"Well anyways, I had a nice dream last night" I said.

"Oh?" Niall said. His face was a deep shade of red but he tried covering it up by stuffing his face with bread.

"Yeah. I had a dream that Francisco Lachowski kissed me. Isn’t that crazy and awesome?" I laughed and Niall just chuckled nervously in return. "What did you dream about?" I asked Niall with a challenging look. Niall rarely lies, he's the most open person in the world, but he's obviously having second thoughts right now.

Finally, he gave up. "I had a dream about Liam" he admitted.

"Really?" I asked and pretended to look surprise. "What happened in that dream?" I asked.

Niall turned even redder if that was possible and started stuttering like he used to back when he was new. "H-he k-k-kissed me" Niall said.

"Isn't that cute?" I cooed, pinching Niall's cheeks and he just slapped my hand away.

"And what's really weird is that he kissed me in your room. And I have no idea how we got into your room! Hell, I don't even know how he got to our house" Niall said, "But it was just a dream anyway"

"Was Louis and I in that dream?" I asked.

Niall looked at me like I just told him food wasn't the greatest thing on earth. "No. Why would you be?" he asked.

"Well, I am your brother" I shrugged and Niall just rolled his eyes and finished everything else in a minute.

"This is official. Wednesday Schedule is the worst schedule ever!" Niall groaned as he collapsed on our table. Louis and I agreed.

We had nothing but hard, boring or hard and boring subjects today. I fell asleep only once though and that's during history class (Fantasy Louis and I strolled through the whole school casually until I woke up). If Mrs. Hall ever caught us sleeping, our heads will be off before you can say "But I--".

Niall groaned again and buried his face in his arms. "I'm too tired and sleepy to even buy food"

Louis and I gasped and looked at each other sympathetically.

I sat down across Niall and Louis took the seat beside me.

"I officially hate Wednesdays" Niall groaned and Louis and I agreed silently again. It's only halfway through the day but we're on the verge of already giving up.

Sadly, Zayn came and squeezed himself between me and Louis so I had no choice but to stand up and walk over to Niall's side instead. I'd rather not touch him no thank you.

"Where have you been?" Louis asked with concern. This is the second time Zayn appeared after lunch time.

"Had to help my sisters, you know them" Zayn shrugged. I can tell that he's lying though but Louis seems convinced. I wanted to just shout "THAT BASTARD IS LYING!" but that would most probably just ruin mine and Louis' friendship not to mention that would cause a scene.

"C'mon babe" Zayn said, standing up and pulling Louis with him.

"Where are we going?" Louis asked, pulling away slightly from Zayn. But not enough to make Zayn let go of him.

"Skipping class. I've heard our classes for the rest of the ay are terribly boring" Zayn said, rolling his eyes.

"But we can't cut class!" Louis protested, pulling his arm free of Zayn's grasp. For some reason, Louis' actions pleased me but at the same time, I was ready to punch on Zayn if necessary.

"But classes are lame" Zayn whined.

"But we need to attend them no matter how lame they are!" Niall piped up.

Zayn shot Niall a glare and a roll of his eyes. "Shut it fatty" he said.

Niall blushed and I felt my hands forming into fists. "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT TO MY BROTHER!" I shouted, earning stares from students nearby but I just ignored them.

"Whatever" Zayn said, grabbing Louis' arm harshly to the point where Louis actually flinched at the pain.

"Let go of him!" I said, finally standing up. "Can't you see he doesn't want to go with you?"

"Harry" Louis warned in a tone that said 'Please just let it go'.

"He's my boyfriend, not yours" Zayn spat, clearly ignoring the eavesdropping intruders who are starting to stare at us.

"Did I say he was?" I snapped, "Plus being in a relationship isn't about possession, it's about understanding each other and being considerate, which apparently, you are obviously not doing properly"

"Harry" Louis warned again and Niall stood up to place a hand on my shoulder.

"What's it to ya, Styles?" Zayn said, pulling Louis closer to him harshly.

"You're hurting Louis!" I said.

"Harry, please stop" Louis said with a dead serious tone. "You're causing a scene here" 

And then he turned to face Zayn "let's go"

"B-but--"

"Harry" Louis' voice was cold now "just stop. I can handle things on my own okay? Please stop making me look weak in front of all these people and my boyfriend" and with that, Zayn and Louis sauntered off to somewhere.

I stood transfixed there for a moment. Did Louis just use his cold tone on me? But I'm his best friend! Even though I tend to do a lot of stupid things, Louis has always addressed me with a gentle tone until now. I knew it. It's that fucking Zayn Malik's fault.

"Harry?" Niall's voice brought me back to reality, cruel reality. "Stop crying now, maybe Louis' just had to do a temporary change for Zayn. You know that's what love does, it makes people change"

I didn't even notice that I was crying, but now that I think of it, my cheek feel damp and I quickly rubbed the back of my hand against my eyes to stop the tears from flowing.

"But they're supposed to change for the better!" I said. "Louis just practically gave me the cold shoulder! He never does that! In 4 years of our friendship, he never does that!" I whined.

I looked around and noticed everyone muttering to each other, but as soon as my eyes land on them, they immediately shut up and pretend to talk about homework and things.

I sighed and grabbed my stuff. "Where are you going?" Niall asked doing the same.

"I don't know. Somewhere. Class. Maybe. I don't know" I said, walking towards the exit of the cafeteria.

I honestly thought Niall would stay in the cafeteria and just order something and eat alone, that is, until I heard his footsteps behind me. I turned around in surprise. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"This is my school?" Niall said, rolling his eyes and I rolled mine as well.

"I know. But what I mean is, um, you haven’t even eaten yet!" I exclaimed.

"Well you are my brother and I’m pretty sure I need to watch out for you. You might do something stupid and irrational just because Louis changed for a while. I bet everything's gonna be back to normal tomorrow" Niall said, patting my back gently.

I smiled at Niall and hugged him tightly. "Thanks Niall. I really needed some comfort right now"

My smile was half-sincere. I can't help but still worry about Louis. What if he never wanted to be with Zayn in the first place? Should I try and break them up? What if he really loves Zayn? But does Zayn even love him back? What if I broke them up, will Louis be forever shattered by Zayn, or will he move on easily?

There are so many questions in my head right now and all I could do was hug my brother.
