My Mystery Lover - Chapter 4

Pretending From The Start

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Keep your hands off my Target, Tomlinson. He's Mine." 

~ 

Niall narrowed his eyes, this can't be him. Zayn was mean and rude and showed no sign of kindness. Mr. Brown Eyes was loving, cute and always so sweet. He pressed his lips into a tight line after licking them. He was acting different, the bad kind of different. But even the way he acted Niall still felt that he cant bring himself up to hate him. "I just wanted to tell him, That was it. " Louis reasoned, with clenched fists. "Tell him what, Tomlinson?" Zayn said, taking another step closer. "You better not be thinking of doing your idiotic actions twice" He threatened, growling. Louis smirked then looked at Niall, "Did you know that Niall tastes sweet?" Niall's eyes widened, this isn't going to end well. "Tastes fucking delicious, you know? Well..you don't because you haven't kissed him. But I have." Louis teased. Oh how the tables have turned so quickly. Niall shook his head in hopes that Louis would stop but that just got him going. "I have explored that mouth, for 2 minutes. Best 2 minutes of my fucking life. " He pointed at Niall. Zayn shook his head and looked at Niall with pity, "I don't force people into kissing me, thats just disgusting" his voice was soft, like when they first met and their other meetings after that. Niall's eyes locked with those brown eyes yet again, these were the right shade now, not harshly dark. "at least I don't kill people" Louis countered, the grin on his face never leaving. Niall gasped and his blue orbs clouded with terror as he hid behind Liam. Zayn shook his head quickly "no, Niall don't listen to him. Baby, please." Zayn begged, taking slow steps towards Niall who only hid behind Liam even more. "Snowflake?" Niall looked back over at Zayn and the image before him caused his heart to shatter. "Don't believe in the things you hear, some people don't know the whole story.." He whispered, his hazel brown eyes glassy. Niall gulped before his eyes drifted to the ground. Zayn took steps back and glared at Louis. The words hit Niall hard, it was like back in his old school, the rumours people made up about to him. He never liked being the victim and Zayn was in the same position. Louis scowled when he saw the smile return on Niall's face. The blonde ran back into Zayn's arms. The familiar warmth surrounding both of them and just for 2 seconds everything was okay. But only 2 seconds. After their short embrace Zayn quickly pushed Niall behind him. Liam smiled warmly however, Louis replied with frightening words. 

"It doesn't end that easily, Malik" he rolled his eyes, as he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked down the corridor after sending Niall a flirty wink. Niall rolled his eyes and stayed behind Zayn who was fiddling with something in his leather jacket pocket as he stared in the direction Louis disappeared off to. Niall looked up and saw that Zayn's eyes returned to their harsh colour again, he gasped. He felt a hand on his shoulder and it pushed him back slightly. Niall stumbled and looked to see Liam with the same cold hard stare. Niall stepped back, frightened. His eyes widened once again when he realised what Zayn was fumbling with in his pocket.

A gun. 

Niall extended a hand to cover another gasp when he saw, peeking out of Liam's jeans, was a silver, steel blade. "Don't worry, Snowflake. Its for protection." the raven haired boy reassured the trembling blonde, his voice soft but his eyes still clouded with that dark and negative aura that Niall disliked. "And for protection, only!" Zayn added, emphasis on the last word. Niall nodded his head obediently and kept quiet. Zayn & Liam began to discuss something, they whispered back and fourth and Niall tried to make sense of what they were saying. Liam kept whispering more things whilst Zayn listened and got close, to close to him for Niall's liking. Niall crossed his arms and stomped over to Liam and thumping him on the chest. "Ow! What?" Niall glared at him. "Ever heard of personal space?" Niall questioned, Zayn chuckled at his Target's antics. Liam rolled his eyes and mumbled a 'twat' which quickly got Zayn's attention. "What did you say" he asked, angrily. Liam shook his head and rolled his eyes again. "Nothing.." He groaned. "What were you two whispering about anyway?" Niall asked rocking on the balls of his feet with a curious look on his face. "Louis" Liam replied bluntly. "What about him?" The curiosity wiped from him and quickly replaced with worry. "we've all had Targets before except Louis because he's very picky and he's only ever had 6 whilst I've had like 29, Zayn's had 12 ..Harry-- hasnt had one yet but Louis..he's done some creepy shit to get them" Liam shuddered. Niall nodded in understanding then boom."Wait, WHAT?! He's targeted me?! But thats not allowed right?! I mean..has this ever happened before?! Oh my god" Niall began panicking and pulling on his blonde locks. "Thats the bad thing, we don't know what could happen. Zayn saw you first basically but we never made a rule about two people targeting one person. There was just 3 really.." Liam explained, nervously. "1, your not allowed to hurt the target, physically, mentally, whatever. 2, your not allowed to target an enemy and 3, your allowed to befriend the target but you aren't allowed to go against the owner, the person who targeted, and do something without their permission with or to the target." Niall jumped, "the last one! Louis doesn't have permission considering Zayn's my owner right?! He went against him!" Zayn shook his head with a look on his face that said, he too, was deeply thinking. "The rules are pointless to be honest" Zayn scowls. "What? Why?" Niall questions, that was probably the only way out of this mess. "We didn't contract them or anything. So nothing counts" Niall face palmed. Are you fucking kidding me. The irish boy stood there, glaring at Zayn. "What?" He asked, clueless. "So basically you made these rules up for nothing? You could've just broke them anyway! Considering it wasn't a contract. Haven't you guys watched Twilight!" The blonde fumed, as he stomped away. Not that anybody cared, not even Zayn, cared to run after him. The bell rang and the snowflake continued to stomp through the crowd, not really knowing where he was going. "Niall!" A voice shouted, Niall turned around and saw Demi & Ed waving at him. They slowly approached them and their happy smiles faded once they saw the glum expression on his face. "Whats wrong?" "What happened when we left?" They both asked. Niall opened his mouth to say something but Ed interrupted. "Sorry for leaving you by the way. We got nervous..and--" Niall cut him off "its fine, I get it. You got scared." He reassured and the pair nodded sheepishly. "So whats wrong? We heard that Louis was involved or something but thats it!" Demi questioned. Niall began to tell them everything, from Louis kissing him to how he didn't know that Zayn was his Mr. Brown eyes to right now, about Louis targeting him. Demi's jaw dropped, "YOUR TARGETED BY LO--" Niall clamped her mouth shut as Ed mentally scolded her. "Seems your involved in a whole lot of drama, Nialler.." Ed sighed. Oh how he wished he could help. "I know!, and Liam said that Louis does really creepy stuff to get his targets and right now I can't even--" He finished mid sentence as he was wrapped in a hug by 2 pairs of arms. "Don't worry, Nialler!" Demi comforted the blonde as she rubbed soothing circles on his back. "Yeah, dont. Things'll get better soon" Ed added. Niall sighed contently, hugging back. "Hey! Get your hands off my Snowflake!" A voice boomed at the end of the corridor. Loud leather boots hit the ground creating a loud noise, immediately making the place go quiet and everyone's eyes on them. "Z-Zaynie!, they're my friends! Don't get mad!" Niall cowered, he didn't want to witness a beating, especially one from the leader.  Zayn seemed unsure as he stared at the 2 people his boy hugged. Only Zayn gets Niall's hugs, nobody else. "Zaynie?, believe me?" Niall said, using his big blue irises to charm the darker skinned boy. He tugged on the hem of Zayn's white shirt, which made Zayn lean in, resting a hand on Niall's waist, the blonde cooperated. "ahem" somebody awkwardly coughed, both boys heads whipped around to Demi. "What? Don't look at me!" She raised her hands up in defence. "Over here!" a male voice cheered. Automatically, Zayn wrapped his arm tighter around Niall's waist as they both turned. Niall's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion, there stood a boy the same age, with brown hair and brown eyes, he must be popular but Niall didn't recognise him. "Thats your target? Best one yet, Malik!" The brown haired boy commented with a wolf whistle, making Niall's face flush, he snuggled closer to Zayn. Demi & Ed stood behind him, watching with scowls. They must not like him, Niall guessed. "Isn't everybody supposed to be getting home?" Niall whispered under his breath, getting uncomfortable with all the eyes that were one him. Zayn heard and chuckled, "Everyone piss off, your scaring him" He announced and the hall cleared, Demi and Ed giving Niall a goodbye hug and the two then disappeared around the corner. "Nice job, Zayn. I've heard that he was gorgeous but I didn't think it was true.." He smirked, as his eyes roamed Niall's body, making him even more uncomfortable than before. Zayn pushed his Snowflake behind him, gently. "Josh, tell everybody the usual. I don't want anybody to talk to him, theres a problem with Louis and right now we're kinda busy sorting that out. Make sure nobody talks to him..." Oh! this is Josh Devine! Wait? he cant control who can't talk to me! Niall nudged Zayn with a look of disapproval. Zayn rolled his eyes "I allow the two he was with earlier..uhm..Fred & Jennie?" Zayn guessed making Niall laugh. "Its Ed & Demi, you dope-head" he chuckled, Zayn eyes softened at the sight, the blonde's melodious giggles made his insides go wild. "Sure thing, bro. Can get the message out by tonight, 'nythin' else?" He said looking at Niall. Zayn shook his head but Niall spoke up. "I'm allowed to talk to Sean, Stan, Andy, Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jade & Jesy too!" He smiled, feeling quite powerful but only for a short while. Zayn disagreed, shaking his head, "no thats all, bye" he dismissed in monotone. "what is your problem with me and making friends" Niall grumbled, childishly pouting. Josh laughed quietly "rights, see ya, Malik! Bye Snowflake" he winked walking out the exit of the school. "Remember when I said I had personal problems?, Thats one of them" Zayn growled, glaring at the door. "What is?" Niall asked, cheeks tinted pink. "Its one of the reasons why I didn't want to tell you who I was" "what?" He repeated. "Thats why it was better just the two of us in that room, alone." He continued. "come onnn, tell me!" Niall whined. "I don't like sharing whats mine" Zayn said in a deep voice. Niall smiled, he kind of liked the boys possessiveness. It was cute, but not when his eyes darken. Niall ran into his arms once again, he loved them so much. He needed them. All Niall wanted to do was tell Zayn he didn't need to share.

Because Niall was already his, the brown eyed boy just didn't know.
