Falling For You *|A Niam Fanfic|*

Prologue

 Prologue

 "Do you love me?" He whispered under his breath, relaxing beneath me as I placed soft kisses along his neck.

I froze, the heat surrounding us suddenly feeling a little chilly and strange. The passion that danced in between us from every little touch, every kiss, every gasp intensified and I pressed my body further into his. He bit his lip and stared up at me, curious and apprehensive, waiting to hear my answer. It was almost as if what I could say would break him, it could push the walls he built up for himself and they would crumble effortlessly.

"Of course I do." I told him sternly. I took his face in between my hands, holding it delicately and brushing my thumb against his pink cheek tenderly. He gazed at me, eyes searching wide and careful. It seemed like he didn't believe me.

"I love you, Liam. I love you so much. Why would you ask that?" I murmured, furrowing my eyebrows together and watching him with hurt. He gave a tiny sigh and cast his eyes elsewhere, refusing to meet mine. I swallowed thickly at the way they grew dark with an emotion I'd never seen before. It wasn't so much as anger or sadness. It looked more like a mixture of pain and just...remorse.

I could feel guilt crawl like ants along my spine, zipping furiously through me enough that I shivered slightly. He noticed my shiver, I could see it from the way his eyes flickered with curiosity once more, but the dark look never left. Even when he did meet my eyes again, it seemed like they'd grown much darker.

"I don't know. Why would I ask something like that?" He whispered, blinking his eyes furiously from the tears that started to well in them. My heart lurched and I shook my head, fighting back the waves of guilt that overcame me.

"Liam--"

"Let's just go to sleep, yeah?" I'm tired..." He said, the spark in his eyes that was there just a few minutes ago beginning to dim. I opened my mouth to protest, wanting to know why he was suddenly acting this way, when he pushed me off gently and turned his body to the side, facing the window. I watched him for a moment, waiting to see if he'd turn around and talk to me.

But he didn't.

He simply let out a heavy breath and wrapped his arms around himself. I bit my lip, looking down at the white sheets below us and balling up a fistful of it. I clenched the sheets so tight that my knuckles began to turn white. I waited for another few minutes to allow Liam to think before carefully scooting closer to him so I could align my body against his. It will forever amaze me how perfectly our bodies fit together.

Liam tensed when I cautiously brought my hand over his back and across his waist. I reached down further so I could touch my fingers with his. He flinched his hand away and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of hurt at that. I sighed and rested my head next to his, watching the way he slowly began to ease beside me.

"I'm sorry." I breathed into the back of his neck. He trembled when I placed a loving kiss to the skin there but remained silent. I shut my eyes and pressed myself closer to him so it was like we were fitted as one.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered again so quiet that I wasn't sure if he heard me or not.

Even if he did hear me

            he said nothing.
