Niam One-Shots

Stuck In The Middle With You

ayooo it's me again :)

this is another one shot that's originally a Larry one. People don't write Niam fics too often because a lot of people don't ship it for some reason lmao. oh well, they're loss😂

Summary: When Niall starts university, he finally gets to spend every day with Liam again. They have been friends since forever, and would do anything for each other. Given that, Niall doesn't hesitate to pose as Liam's boyfriend once he finds out that his new roommate is no other than Liam's crush.

Cue the usual. And maybe a bit of the unusual.

Finally.

Niall got out of the car, looking at the building in front of him. He leaned against the car door, taking in every detail around him, and couldn't help the smile spreading over his face.

A group of people came out of the big, wooden entrance door, while another car parked to his left, a couple kissing briefly before they got out. On the patch of grass in front of the building, several people sat in small groups, chatting away and drinking from paper cups.

"Happy?"

Niall turned around to look at Liam, who was getting their bags out of the boot. He handed Niall his rucksack, smiling fondly. Niall slung it over one shoulder before taking his suitcase.

"Very," he answered. "I'm so happy to finally be here."

Rolling his eyes, Liam shut the boot. "Ni, you've been here more times than I can count."

"But only as a visitor. Now I'm here as a student. I'll be living here." Grinning, Niall turned to Liam, feeling happier than ever. He had waited for his uni life to start since Liam had left school. Their age gap was a shame, really. Those last two years of school had been nothing but boring.

They were the epitome of best friends. Ever since they had been toddlers, they had been inseparable. Liam had protected Niall from the older kids in kindergarten, and in primary school, Niall had always shared his lunch box with Liam.

There had always been girls at Liam's house. He had two older sisters, and Niall had loved being over and playing with them. That hadn't been the only reason for their friendship, obviously, but it had been a nice bonus.

Having older sisters, Liam had mostly been over at Niall's, though. Niall had been the brother Liam had never had but always wanted.

Brothers or not, Liam was family.

Niall couldn't wait to spend every day with Liam again. They were the dream team. Together, they were nothing short of amazing.

"Come on," Liam said, nudging Niall's arm with his shoulder. "Let's go in and see where our rooms are."

There was a system for each dorm, Niall knew as much. Room assignments switched every year, aiming to have a first year student live with a year two or three student. It was the idea of integrating the new ones and helping them get used to the campus sooner.

Niall hoped that by some miracle he would be assigned to Liam.

Of course that wasn't the case. When they stood in front of the huge board with the lists of names and assigned rooms, Niall found the number 205 behind his name. Liam was in room 217.
