Fate: A Larry Stylinson, Niall AU, and Liam AU fanfic

Chapter 10

Misty had sketched the two of them as they were, when she had been looking up at him. Every small detail was perfect, and the shading and hints of color were as well. Meliza smiled, awestruck. Nial was smiling “This is an amazing drawing.” Meliza nodded, speechless. He grinned, “Your sister would have quite the job if she chose this a profession, she wrote something in the corner beside her signature.” It was true, in the corner, she had scratched out, ‘For my sister and for Niall,’ followed by the date. Meliza smiled and kissed his cheek. Niall put an arm around her. Misty came back because she forgot her pencils. Meliza smiled at her “The drawing is beautiful Sis” she said happily. She jumped, looking up, and said, “Huh?” “The drawing... Thank you.” Misty just shrugged, going downstairs, a small smile on her face. Meliza rolled her eyes.

Misty went downstairs leaving the couple alone, and sat down on the couch. Liam sat beside her, smiling. “What’s wrong love?” She shook her head, “Nothing Li, what made you think something was wrong?” Misty opened the sketchbook, flipping through old sketches, and past one she had done the day before of Liam and showed him shyly. Liam watched, biting his lip. “Misty these are amazing!!!” She blushed, “Just a hobby, it’s nothing that matters, not really.” Her hand started to fly gently across the page. Liam watched “You could go pro, you get that right?””I would never make it,” Misty said softly. “You so could! You could have a studio and everything!” She blushed, “We could never afford it. If you think these are pretty, let me show you where I work,” Misty stood up, taking Liams hand and starting to walk over to the basement doors. Liam raised an eyebrow but followed her. She took him down to the basement, and then opened a door that wasn’t in looks like a door at all, but a part of the wall. It was full of paintings, acrylic, oil, and all sorts of others, leaning up against the walls on canvas. Shelfs of paper, and others art supplies lining the walls. “This is where I hide,” she explains, “Not even my big sister knows it is here.” Liam let out a low whistle. “Oh my god, Misty... They’re beautiful.” he whispered.

She bit her lip and watched him, expecting to be laughed at, or called crazy. Liam slowly walked around the room, awesruck. Misty stood in the entryway, watching him, she bit her lip and said, “Please don’t tell anyone, I’m not sure I want them to know,” She looked nervous. Liam nodded slowly “I won’t... But you trust me enough to show me this?” Misty nodded a little, still nervous. Liam went up to her “They’re amazing... You’re so talented...” She shook her head, “I’m not Li,” “Yes, you are. I could never draw like this.” He insisted.

Misty looked up at him, she had forgotten to shut the door, and Meliza and Niall were looking, before Meliza looked up at him “We should go” she whispered, taking his hand. Misty realized they were there and started to blush, biting her lip, and looked at the floor. Meliza tugged him away, mumbling a soft “Sorry” to the pair. Misty watched them go, before looking back up at Liam. Liam chuckled lightly,pulling her closer. She laid her hands on his chest and met his eyes. He smiled “You really are beautiful Mist,” and Misty blushed, and said softly “Maybe in your eyes.” “Should it matter to anyone else?” he asked softly, tracing her cheek gently. She bit her lip, leaning into his touch, saying, “I still don’t understand what you see in me.” “I see everything in the world that I need to make me happy.” She blushed again, they were quite close. Liam slowly leaned in, searching her eyes. Misty smiled a little, her eyes darting over his face. He took that as his okay and kissed her softly. She kissed him back, smiling, and for the first time in awhile her smile met her eyes. Liam slowly pulled away, content. Misty looked up at him, before resting her head on his chest, mumbling, “Thank you Liam.... for bringing my smile back.”

Liam smiled widely, his arms around her waist. “Thank you for letting me,” when he said this, Misty looked up at him, and kissed his cheek. “Li?” “Yes?” He smiled softly. “Will you dance with me?” She bit her lip, not sure how he was going to react. He smiled “I’d love to” he said softly. Misty smiled, and said, “You pick a CD, I have tons,” directing him over to them. Liam smiled and decided on one, putting it in. Misty listened curiously, wondering what he picked. He had picked an instrumental, slow CD. She smiled, this was her favorite CD. He held his hand out “M’lady, would you care to dance?” She laughed, “I would love to,” Misty took his hand. He smiled, placing a hand on her waist and holding the other, and she put her free hand gently over his shoulder. He smiled and danced with her slowly, keeping her close. She laid her head on his chest, smiling. He kissed her hair, and they ended up dancing through the entire CD. By the time they were done, Misty was feeling sleepy and she yawned slightly.
