one night (or possibly the rest of our lives) • niam

forgive me?

Whoo, look at that another update!

-----

Liam shoved his hands in to his pocket as he waited for Sam to start talking. "Did you open your gift?" He asked, noticing it sticking out of the corner of Liam's pocket. He saw the brunette nod. "I own a jewelry shop. Niall asked me for a favor, to help him make that gift for you. And so I did. But he chose everything about it. I just did the parts he couldn't. It's a beautiful gift. He did an amazing job on it."

Liam took the box out of his pocket and opened it again, looking at the bracelet. "It's lovely," He mumbled. He stuck the box back in to his pocket when he saw Sam pulled something from his back pocket. It was his wallet. He watched the red head slipped something out of the sleeve and handed it to Liam. It was the picture of pretty woman with long black hair and green eyes. "Who is this?" He asked.

"My wife." Sam replied. Liam felt a bit sick to his stomach at that. He assumed the way he was close to Niall that he was single. "Liam, Niall was my best friend for years. I'm straight. Always have been. I've never seen Niall as more than a brother. I'm not trying to take him from you or anything like that. Today, he told me so much about you. And I've never seen him so happy. So in love. The way he talks about you. Like you're the only person in the world. You mean everything to him Liam and it baffles me that you can't trust him."

"I-I do trust him. I just...I let me jealousy get the best of me." Liam stated as he handed the picture back to Sam. "I shouldn't. And I'm sorry for it."

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. But I can help you. Talk to him. Niall is stubborn. You would think giving him his space is what he wants." Sam shook his head. "No. He wants you to come talk to him. To apologize, to hear him out."

"He's going to be mad at me."

The Irish lad nodded. "He will. But he'll be even angrier if he thinks you aren't willing to fix things right away."

Liam sighed and nodded, running a hand through his hair. "I feel like such a dick. I should have trusted him. I said some things I regret."

"And all you really can do is apologize. Niall isn't going to want anything fancy. Just hold him. Even if he fights. Show him you're not going to let him go." Sam said. By the time they got to this part in the conversation they had looped around the block. They stopped in front of the Horan house again. "If he doesn't forgive you right away don't give up. Don't push it either. You two are having a family soon. You know him."

Liam nodded. "I'm going to try my best."

"Good luck Liam. Remember he loves you, a lot. He doesn't hate you for this but you have some mending to do."

Liam nodded. "Thank you. This means a lot that you're helping me. Even if it's really for Niall."

"You seem like a good guy from what Niall has told me. Yes I did this for him but also for the two of you. You guys deserve each other. Now get in there and apologize."

Liam nodded again, bidding Sam a good night before walking back in to the house. Before he headed up to Niall's room he took the box from his pocket and took the bracelet out, slipping it on. He walked up the stairs and to the bedroom, knocking before opening the door. Niall was snuggled on the bed, wrapping in a blanket and watching a movie. "Can we talk?" Liam asked.

Niall didn't answer but he muted the TV as a way of telling Liam he could start talking.

The brunette walked over to the bed and sat down next to Niall. "First I want to start off with saying I'm sorry. I'm so damn sorry. I was stupid for jumping to conclusions. I didn't mean to get jealous. But I did because I love you and the thought of losing you kills me. But that isn't an excuse for how I acted. I hurt you and I'm angry. At myself. Not you. I should trust you. I do. My jealousy just got in the way. Niall, love, please forgive me. I regret everything I've said and done tonight and since I met Sam."

Niall didn't say anything at first, leaving a silence between them. He moved the blankets from around him then looked up at Liam. "I didn't mean anything bad from the lie. I was going out to make you a Christmas gift. I didn't want you to know that. And we would have fought if I told you I was going to see Sam. I had left my phone which is why I didn't reply to any of your messages or called you back. I wasn't ignoring you because I was with him. He's my friend. You know that."

Liam sighed. "I do. I did. I just...I let it get the best of me. I am so sorry my love. Do you forgive me?"

Niall bit his lip, playing with the sleeve of his sweater. "Of course I forgive you. I love you, Liam. I'm upset, but not as angry with you as I seemed. I'm just upset you think I wouldn't be coming home with you." Niall looked up at Liam. "Did you really think I would choose to not leave with the man I love? The father of my children?"

The brunette leaned forward and buried his face in to his hands. "God I regret saying that so much."

Niall reached forward and placed a hand on Liam's shoulder and that's when he noticed the bracelet. "Do you...do you like it?" He asked, voice soft.

Liam sat up, wondering what Niall was talking about when he remembered he slipped on the bracelet. "Yes, yes I love it. It's amazing. You did such a beautiful job on it. And the note. God Niall, I realized how much of an asshole I was to you and it nearly broke my heart. You are too sweet, too good for me." He reached out his hand and took Niall's, intertwining their fingers.

"No, Li, you're perfect for me. I'm glad you like it." He scooted closer so he could lean against the taller boy.

"You were wrong you know," Liam began. "About our relationship having trust. I trust you with my life. I trust you with everything. Hell, Niall you're not just my boyfriend, but you're my best friend. I'll tell you everything because I trust you with everything. I'm sorry I didn't seem like I trusted you this time. It wasn't you. I know I have no right to be mad at Sam but you're amazing and I was afraid he'd be able to take you from me. I'm so far gone with you that I can't think about the thought of losing you to anyone else."

Niall looked up at Liam, using his free hand to cup his cheek. "You won't ever lose me. I'm in this with you for life. Well if you'll have me that long." Niall muttered with a blush.

Liam pulled his hand from Niall and turned to lift the boy in to his lap. "I'm going to ask you to marry me some day, Niall. We've already talked about getting a smaller house and moving to the country. It's safe to say I definitely want you with me for the rest of our lives."

The blonde smiled, wrapping his arms around Liam's neck. "Perfect because I couldn't imagine being anywhere else than besides you for the rest of my life." Liam smiled and leaned forward to join their lips in a kiss. Niall smiled in to the kiss, relaxing in content as he kissed him back. They pulled back after a moment and Liam let out a breathy chuckle. Niall giggled as well.

"I love you so much," Liam whispered, resting his forehead against Niall's.

"I love you too." Niall whispered back with a warm smiled on his face. "More than I ever thought possible, and never forget it."
