Please Don't Be Ashamed

15

Niall didn't intend to leave Liam alone for a long period of time, he hated doing that to his precious and fragile Liam, he felt guilty every time he went into work, but Zayn wasn't giving up. Even after Niall told him that Liam was home alone, he still didn't let up, and Niall was getting frustrated.

He wanted to go home and see Liam. He was missing him terribly. He just wanted to go home and snuggle his teddy bear.

"Zayn! You've been talking over an hour! I'm tired. I really to go home."

One more story, and then you can go home. I promise.:

"Oh, come on, do I really have to hear another one? I've already heard twelve. I've been counting. What's the real reason you've kept me here? What don't you want me to know? What are you hiding from me?"

"Harry sent me to you so you'd dump Liam and go out with me. He thinks you should be with someone human instead of a creature like Liam. I'm really sorry for holding you up. Go on home. I won't bug you and I'll definitely leave you alone. I'm sorry for bugging you." Zayn said and walked out of the shop.

Niall was baffled, a little confused and angry, but he was definitely baffled.

Harry didn't want him with Liam?

Didn't he know Liam was the best thing that ever happened to him?

Niall opened his heart and his home to a poor, homeless boy who didn't have anything and then he did the greatest thing anyone's ever done; he fell in love.

He fell in love with a sweet, kind, innocent boy who didn't have anything. He showed Liam how to love and how to be loved.

So, Niall fell in love with someone like Liam? Who cares?

Harry seriously needs to keep his nose out of other people's business.

Liam wasn't home when he got home and neither was Louis.

When Liam finally did arrive home and told Niall what happened, Niall was shocked.

He understood that Liam acted in self-defense, but that he had to be careful next time if or when he transformed. Someone could report him and then he'd never see Liam again. He didn't want his Liam taken away.

"I love you." Niall whispered against Liam's hair as they were lying in bed that night.

"LiLi loves NiNi, too." Liam whispered back as he yawned.

"Go to bed, baby, I know you're really tired."

"Okay, NiNi, 'night." Liam whispered and slowly fell asleep.

Niall smiled. Yeah, he was definitely the lucky one.
