Niall-Centric One-Shots

Lies - Ziall

"Hey babe, I'm off to go out with the lads tonight." Zayn said, grabbing his jacket off of the hook and kissing his long-term boyfriend Niall on the lips.

Niall kissed back, cupping Zayn's face, hiding the words developing on his skin with Zayn's oversized sweater he was currently wearing. "Okay, please be back soon." he said in a quiet voice which made Zayn stop.

"Babe?" He asked, turning Niall around. "Are you upset?"

The truth was, Niall is upset. The past couple weeks Zayn has been going out often with "the lads", yet come back smelling like perfume.

Perfume that wasn't Niall's. Niall has talked to Louis, his best friend, several times about this, Louis reassuring him that everything was okay. That Zayn wasn't cheating on Niall.

See, Niall would probably believe him if Zayn's word didn't always appear on his arm when he asked Zayn where he'd been.

Zayn's lies always appeared on Niall's skin, and Niall's lies always appeared on Zayn's. 

But Niall loved Zayn, he loves Zayn, so he ignored the possibilities and tried to stay positive.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said, though he knew that the words appeared somewhere in small print on Zayn's skin.

Zayn frowned slightly, yet kissed Niall again, with promises to be back home soon.

~~

Zayn came home around 12:00, his hair a mess, quietly walking into his and Niall's home, finding his boyfriend of 2 years curled on the couch. Niall was wearing Zayn's sweater that was way too big for him and a pair of booty shorts that he liked to sleep in.

Zayn cooed at his tiny boyfriend, the love of his life. He walked over to the couch, crouching in front of Niall, pushing the blonde hair away from his eyes, admiring the delicate features of the younger boy.

Soon, Niall's beautiful blue eyes flickered open to find Zayn's hazel ones staring back, and Niall shot up from the couch.

"What time is it?" he asked groggily.

"It's 12:00, Ni. C'mon, let's go to bed, I'll carry you." Zayn said, moving his hands to pick up Niall.

"No, no." Niall shook his head like a little boy. "We need to talk, Zaynie."

And then Zayn noticed the tear marks on Niall's cheeks, and how his eyes were a little puffy.

Quickly, Zayn cupped his lover's cheeks. "Babe, what's wrong?"

Niall gently took Zayn's hands from his face and started to peel off Zayn's large sweater, leaving him in just his short shorts.

"Angel, what are you—"

Niall cut him off. "Watch." Niall said. "Zayn, where were you tonight?"

Zayn gulped. "I was out at a bar with the lads."

Niall looked down at his body, watching the tiny words appear across his thigh, pointing at them.

Zayn watched them too, until they disappeared after a while. And suddenly, he knew what this was about.

Niall's eyes started to fill with tears, but he kept talking. "Why were you out so late?"

"I lost track of time with the guys."

The little words appeared on Niall's stomach.

Tears started rolling down Niall's cheeks and Zayn didn't know what to do.

"Why do you—" Niall sobbed, clearing his throat. "Why do you smell like perfume?"

Zayn shook his head. "There's lots of girls at the bar, Ni, they all wear too much perfume."

The words appeared on his arm.

"Stop lying!" Niall cried, shoving lightly at Zayn's chest, as he wasn't very strong.

"Angel I—"

"You're lying, you're lying," he sobbed, and this was the most heart-breaking thing that Zayn has ever seen. "Tell me the truth!"

One last time, Niall looked Zayn in the eye. "Who are you sleeping with?"

Zayn's heart caught in his throat and he sighed at all he pain his little Nialler was going through.

Zayn took Niall's hand in his and pointed to Niall's wrist.

"I am cheating on you." Zayn said.

The word appeared on Niall's wrist, just like Zayn knew they would.

Niall's breath hitched, and he looked at Zayn with watery eyes.

"W-wait so you're not—" he stuttered.

Zayn chuckled, wiping the tears from his angel's face. "I'm not cheating on you."

And those words didn't appear on Niall, so they have to be true.

Zayn wasn't cheating on Niall.

Niall wiped his eyes. "Then why did you lie?"

Zayn sighed, pulling Niall up to stand, pulling the large sweater back over his baby's body.

"This was supposed to happen in a park, with candles, and music, and flowers, and it was supposed to be romantic, but here we go." He sighed.

Then, the most unexpected thing happened.

Zayn got down on one knee, pulling a velvety box from his jacket pocket, opening it up to reveal a beautiful ring with a small diamond. He stared into Niall's sky blue eyes, which had stared watering again.

Niall put his hands over his mouth in shock.

"Niall Horan, my love, my angel, my princess, you are my world. You are the most important person to me, you are the love of my life and the light of my life and I don't know what'd I'd do without you. Words cannot explain how in love with you I am. Waking up to you're beautiful face every morning makes my day, seeing you in my clothes makes me so happy, being able to kiss you and hold you makes me feel like a billionaire. You're my baby, and I love you so much, and I can't believe that you, a beautiful boy so out of my league loves me back. I was so excited the day you agreed to go on a date with me, and the day you'd agreed to be my boyfriend. And I hope you'll agree to being my fiancé, and my future husband, so we can have a family and grow old together. So Niall James Horan, my world, my sun, my moon, and my stars, will you marry me?"

Niall pounced on Zayn, hugging him tightly, crying into his chest.

He pulled away from Zayn and nodded quickly, several times. Zayn chuckled, slipping the ring onto Niall's finger, having to wipe away a few tears of his own too.

"I hate you." Niall laughed while wiping his tears.

And Zayn smiled because he knew that somewhere, those words appeared on his body.

"All those lies baby, they were for this. I smell like perfume because of the jewelry stores, and I was out so late planning the perfect date for the two of us with Louis helping."

"Zaynie I'm so sorry." Niall sobbed, hugging Zayn once again.

Zayn just took Niall's face in his, kissing Niall deeply, showing all of his love for the petite boy in this one kiss.

The boys broke away then went off to bed, Niall cuddling into Zayn's chest.

Suddenly, Zayn laughed. "Louis is going to kill me."
