I'll be there whenever he falls (with open arms)

VII.

   It was about a week's time when Nick 've gotten soft on Louis, He couldn't help it when the boy was constantly texting him which he had try very hard to ignore, and when everything in his life was always about One Direction and Louis Tomlinson it's really really hard not to.Nick had a hard time avoiding the popstar,he'd even went as far as hiding behind the sofa once time when Louis show up at his front door.

   Nicholas, are you avoiding me  :(

   Aboslutely not,love.Not everyone can be like you,popstar.I do have a proper busy job,you know.

   You hang out with Harry twice this week.

   Nick stopped, couldn't really think of any better excuse for himself.He raised his brows when he saw what Louis had texted him,he grunted.Of course,that Harry boy couldn't keep his mouth shut,how could he forgot.His phone vibrate again,showing a new text from Louis.

   You're avoiding me,Grimshaw.What did I do that upset you? Was it something I say or did,I am sorry then.For god's sake,Grimmy. What did I do that upset you this much for you to avoid me for 7 days,5 hours and 20 minutes ? 

  Nick stared at his phone,His fingers hovering just above the screen,spacing out for a brief moment.

   It wasn't your fault,Lou.I just want to move on from you

   Obviously,Nick couldn't make himself send it to Louis,but he wanted to know Louis's reaction,Louis's reply. Hey,what if Lou likes you .Nick shook the thought out of his head.Right before he could hit send,a new message startled him,follow by another two.

   Harry must have said something to you!

  I am coming over,Nicholas.

   We need to talk

   Nick wasn't looking forward for this ''talk'' Louis wants them to have.For Nick,talks aren't exactly talking when it's about shouting at each other and trying to prove that the other is wrong.And talks always end up with tears and very,very harsh words.Nick knew if he have  a talk with Louis,he might end up shoving his feelings to Louis,and he just knows that Louis won't ever understand.

   It will be Nick embarassing himself when he confess all his feelings to Louis,which honeslty he never did in his past 28 years.It was always casual hook-ups,one night stands and nothing emotionally involved.Nick never was one to settle down,or so he thought.

   But Louis,Louis is different,he's funny,he's cute,he's a ball of energy that just doesn't seem to worn Nick out.He's sharp,caring,and just everything Nick could ever ask for.Louis sparks him the idea of actually wanting to settle down .

   He wants to be in a steady relationship with Louis so bad,to be able to bring him home to his parents.Wants Louis to be the one he knelt his one leg down for,as he slowly pull out a velvet box with a simply silver band that Nick knows is what Louis wants and ask him for his hand in marriage.A life that was spend with Louis and a love story that was written by both of them,that He know he'llbe enjoying saying to their grandchildren .

    Nick just wants it so badly,but all the scenarios that's seem to be playing in his mind ended badly.It was either Louis leaving him and him trying to move on while Louis and his fantastic arse live a happy life or Louis will laugh at him and joke about how Nick actually have a heart and how Nick actually falls for his tricks.

   Nick literally cried when he heard the doorbell,He had to drag himself all the way to the door,hands unwilling clenching to door knob and twisting it open.The boy was standing there,trying to smile but failed when he took in Nick's frame.Nick mentally cursed himself for not having the time to clean himself up.
