friends to lovers - lilo

Liam knocked on the door, tapping his foot and looked around. He wanted to talk to Niall, he wanted to explain everything to Niall and hopefully fix some holes.

Niall eventually answered, opening the door cautiously. He stared at him, not saying a word. "Hello, Ni. I need to talk to you, and clear some things up," Liam spoke as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Look, if you're going to tell me about the fake relationship thing, I know. Louis told me," Niall said, crossing his arms. Liam let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, it makes it a whole lot easier."

"Don't."

Liam raised his eyebrow in confusion, "What?" Niall narrowed his eyes, shaking his head, "You don't see anything wrong? With Louis? Don't you notice something?" Liam was still confused, "I mean, I'm sure he's pretty mad at me for ruining the relationship thing. I'm going over to his place later to talk to him."

Niall scoffed in disbelief, shaking his head once more, "You're so fucking clueless, Liam, really. You have no idea at all."

"Idea of what?"

"Louis fuckin' loves you, man. More than a best friend. He's been having a crush on you the whole time and he recently fell in love. Y'know what you did? You broke his heart when he saw you with Sophia. He felt like he had a chance when you both kissed at that party. He is angry, he is upset. All because you are clueless."

Liam blinked, standing still. He felt like he was punched in the gut multiple times. He never knew Louis felt that way, he felt guilty. "Louis loves me? I never thought he felt that way, it never came to my head, I think."

"Did you ever feel the same way?"

"I don't think so?" Liam said, questioning himself, "Louis is a great guy, I don't want anything awkward between us."

Niall started laughing, "Liam, stop it. It's more than awkward. I know you feel something towards him. Explain the kiss at the party. I'm sure that meant something." Liam scratched his head, sighing, "I don't know."

Niall wanted to grab Liam's shoulders and scream at his face, but he stayed patient. Liam was confused, and he doesn't know how to sort out his feelings especially for someone like Louis.  He needs to figure it out.

"I don't know what to say to you. Sort out your thoughts and feelings and you can come back for a talk or go to Louis. I have nothing else to say to you," Niall said with a stern look on his face, closing the door. Liam groaned and started walking towards his car. "Why is this happening?" Liam asked himself.
