Niam One-Shots

You Happened And I Tripped Head First

Heyoo!!

I know it's been a while but I'm back! I had a busy couple of weeks.

This one shot is really cute I hope you love it :)

Summary: Summary:

"We haven't exactly exchanged names." There's a blessed moment of silence as both his mates seem to process this new information and Liam thinks maybe they'll just accept it and that'll be it, though he really should've known not to get his hopes up.

"What the fuck, Liam?" Louis screeched incredulously. "How long have you been talking with this guy and he won't give ya his name? Sounds pretty sketchy, if you ask me."

"It's not that he won't give it to me, I just haven't asked yet and neither has he."

"How long Lee-yum?" Zayn presses, not letting Liam distract them from the question at hand.

"About two weeks." Liam mumbles. "I met him at Loki's graduation."

[or the one where Liam meets a gorgeous stranger and forgets to ask his name]

ENJOY!!!!

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

Liam knows nothing lasts forever but he'd really believed, with every fiber of his being, that he and Danielle were the exception to that rule. Shows how much he knows. Now sitting at the bar of some club he let his mates drag him to, drowning himself in his fourth jack and coke and being an all around killjoy-this is what his life has been reduced to. It's been months and he still can't seem to claw his way out of the pit of despair that is breaking up with someone he honestly thought was his soul mate.

The one person in the world that he was made to love and who was meant to love him in return, call him a sap but some mornings he still believed that. He convinced himself that Dani was going to ring him up one of these days and yell 'gotcha' in his ear, tell him that this had all been a terrible joke to test him. He made the mistake of drunkenly confessing this to Louis, who just shook his head sadly and ordered them another round of shots.

Alcohol was always the solution in Tommo's mind; numb the brain, goodbye pain he always says. Only the pain never really went away, just got misplaced for a bit and once he sobered up again, it hit him like a tidal wave. She's gone. She's really gone.

His mates all think the trick to getting over somebody is to get under someone else as soon as possible, but Liam has never really been one for casual sex. He's only ever been in committed relationships since he was seventeen.

In fact, he's been out of the dating pool for so long that he's forgotten how to be single.  And it doesn't help that things have changed drastically since he was a teen. Everything is done over social media or through some kind of electronic device. If you're not on Facebook, you're snapchatting, skyping, swiping, tweeting, kiking or tumbling. There werejust too many outlets to keep them all straight. It almost seemed like meeting someone organically had become obsolete, the date a passé concept.
