Son of Lucifer

3// New Neighbor

Niall hated work today it was terrible. It honestly was, usually he enjoyed restocking books and sitting behind the counter reading a big novel or flipping through the new magazines; but today he couldn't keep himself busy. His ankle is a fucking bother but at least the blotches on his body are disappearing but to top it all off, every little sound is giving giving him a heart attack. The drive to work for instance, he nearly slammed into a fire hydrant because his phone went off and two hours into clocking in, a little girl squealed behind him and he knocked over a shelve of books.

Now as Niall's getting home obviously still stressing  but once on the floor of his apartment, he walked down the long hallway but stumbled into something-no someone and fell face first as they stumbled back, great, fucking great..

"Oh shit." The stranger groaned and Niall sat up rubbing his forehead and cringed at the mess between their bodies.

"I'm so sorry." Niall said quickly as he got on his knees and began putting the things back into the box.

"It's no big deal; I shouldn't be carrying huge boxes anyways." They spoke. Niall looked up and fell back into his ankles. He sat there quietly as the most gorgeous human sat on his knees before him. His jet black hair was down against his forehead and the white tank top he was wearing shows off his many tattoos. Niall felt like his bright hazel eyes were staring into his soul. He bit down on his lip and stared at the strangers fuller ones. "Lord help me" Niall whispered to himself.

"I um , I'm Zayn." He said as he continued to put things back into the box.

"Ni-Niall." Niall said snapping out of his thoughts and helped the beautiful stranger named Zayn put the things back into the box.

"I'm really sorry again, I've been out of it all day." Zayn said as he stood back up, dusting off his black jeans. Niall bit his lip still looking up at Zayn from his kneeling position, "I couldn't be getting turned on my him already can I? No I need to stop." Niall thought before he quickly stood up and picked Zayn's box up handing it to him.

"Thanks." Zayn said taking it from Niall. Zayn nodded and walked behind Niall until he reached his door, not far from where he made a fool of himself.

"Looks like we're neighbors." Zayn chuckled kicking his door open softly. "Well fuck, I have a hot as fuck neighbor and not even five minutes ago I've made a fool of myself." Niall thought to himself for the millionth time today.

"I, yea, I haven't had one in a while. Um if you need anything, I'm always here." Niall said leaning against his door as Zayn nodded and placing the box in his apartment.

"Thanks, I have to unpack some more things but I'll see you around Niall." He said smiling; 

"See you around Zayn." Niall whispered as Zayn went back out to the hall and turning the corner. Niall unlocked his door and stepped in, slamming it behind his body. "Why is that I always have to fuck up when I meet a hot guy. Can't I ever do anything right? I mean Adriana can do it, why can't I?" Niall complained dropping his keys into the bowl on the bar cart near the door.

He walked to the living room and plopped onto the large couch, stuffing his face into the cushion. He laid there for a few minutes cursing at himself but eventually grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels.

Eventually, he settled on syfy and watched the marathon of horror movies, currently he gagging over how bad the possession is. Sometimes horror movies really piss him off. He stretched and looked up at the clock, it's six and he's starting to get hungry.

"I want avoid being an adult so let's get some take out." He said to himself and walked to the kitchen and grabbed his phone, calling his favorite Chinese place. He quickly ordered and hung up the phone only to leave to my bathroom to shower before the delivery guy comes. He grabbed his things and stripped himself of his clothes and stepped into the steamy shower after waiting for it to heat up. He stepped in and moaned as the hot water hits his shoulders and sore back. He stood there for a good five minutes before actually showering.
