Punk Niall Series

"You're Out Of Your Element"

Tattoo conventions were never on your list of things to do. "It'll be fun... and I have to go, at least if you tag along I'll have something pretty to look at," Niall had convinced you with a wide grin, kisses spreading across your face once you'd agreed. Now, you were regretting your decision. You were surrounded by people covered in ink, piercings and multicolored hair and you felt extremely out of place. You were pretty much the only girl dressed in normal clothes of boots, leggings, and a sweater. You had tried to map your escape at least a dozen times before Niall would pull you back with a sweet kiss or a promise of something more your style later that night. With promises of attention, how could you leave? Niall, of course, was completely at home and friendly with everyone he passed and you just followed behind like a lost puppy. "Niall... oh my gosh, so good to see you!" You hear a girl exclaim and when you look up from your phone, you see a girl wrapping her tattooed arms around Niall's neck. This girl clearly has a death wish but she looks like she'd kill you so you stay at Niall's back. "Holly. Wasn't expecting you to be here, thought you were in New York?" Niall questions with a bright smile and the two launch themselves into an animated conversation. "You got some new ink," Niall smiles, shaking hands with a man that had approached the two before him and this Holly girl start discussing the new work she has. "I'm Zayn, I went to uni with Niall," the man explains coming over to you and shaking your hand with a smile that you return. "Who's she?" You question, not beating around the bush and Zayn looks to the two while at your side. "His ex from back in the day," he explains and you give the girl a pointed glare. "You don't look like you belong here," another man with a kind smile offers, walking up to the two of you. "I'm here with my boyfriend. He owns a shop," you explain, pointing to where Niall is still chatting with his ex. "You're Niall's girl? He talks about you all the time. I'm Liam," the man introduces, shaking your hand and you nod. "Five years," Liam explains when you ask him how long Niall and Holly had been together and you scoff. Niall has, of course, never mentioned the girl. He finds you an hour later, sitting on a couch outside of the arena with your arms crossed and a dead phone. "There you are. I've been looking for you," Niall says, bending down to press a kiss to your pouting lips before he takes a seat beside you. "It was good to see Holly and Zayn. Did you meet them?" He questions, offering you his popcorn and you scoff before slapping it out of his hand so it dumps to the floor. You stomp away from him, opting to ride home with a waiting Harry than listen to Niall talk about his ex or the convention he had dragged you to and left you to your own devices.
