A/N: My friend wrote me this for my birthday earlier this year. Its called Rock Me:

The light showering began to subdue to a sprinkle on the beach as the sun created an orange glow on the dark ocean. Niall ignored it, tucked away in his favorite hiding spot; in a secluded little cave. It had room for him, a warm campfire, a secret nook for his food.....and perhaps.... another....

'No! Don't think Niall!' He scolded himself mentally, banging on his acoustic guitar and scowled at echoing tune and firelight as it bounced around. A raindrop fell on his head and his vision began to blur. 'Don't think..... about.....'

He wiped at his face and gritted his teeth in frustration.

'Stupid, Stupid!' Bang! 'You should tell him!' Bang! 'And risk losing him?! Coward!' Clang!

"W-working on a new song?" A voice rumbled....HIS voice.

Niall's head shot up from this guitar, his face warmed.

Zayn leaned back against the wet cave opening, his hand held up to his opposite shoulder where he slang his soaking leather jacket over it. His eyes were closed as he tilted his face up to the rain. A sad smile.

".....How?...."

"I thought I was the only one to know about this spot." He glanced at Niall and his heart skipped a beat. "are you crying?"

"N-no! It's.....leaking." He pawed at his face.

'He can see?! What else can he see?!'

His heart jerked, clawing at his chest when a gentle hand touched his at his cheek. Through his fingers he could see Zayn's smile waver.

"It's okay, Love. This where I go when...."

Was that? A crack in his voice?

"Zayn." Niall let his hands fall.

"I'm fine."

"No. You're not. What is it?"

He stood up and quickly, turning away. Did he just imagine Zayn blushing?

"It's......... complicated." He gathered his discarded jacket and headed for the entrance.

Niall clung to his guitar, feeling like he got punched in his stomach, struggling for air. "We... used to tell each other ev-er..."

"I know."

"then tell me."

"You tell me first?" Another crack, a hand flew to his face.

"You..... know?"

His voice came muffled through his fingers. "Please tell me we're thinking the same thing here."

"Maybe.... we should say it at the same time?" Niall offered, drumming his own fingers on his guitar. They ere growing restless, like birds waiting for the cage door to open.

He turned to face him, rain dripping from his face as he nodded.

"one..."

"two...Three..."

"I want you to rock me!" Niall's voice came as a hushed whisper, the only voice echoing in the nook. Zayn stepped back in shock as Niall silently cursed himself.

"You....?" a step closer.....

"Y-Yes."

"Why didn't.....?" closer.....

Niall blushed, "Why, what?"

Zayn nearly touching noses with him now. The room almost felt suffocating, almost one too many people to feel comfortable.....

Almost.

"why didn't you tell me sooner?" Zayn growled, pushing his lips unto Niall's. Niall could only react in shocked surprise as his guitar crashed on the ground, his arms flung around the bad boi's neck.

The two collapsed, a light hearted giggle escapes Niall's throat.

"You gonna rock me or not?"

"Of course, love."

HAPPY B-DAY MADDIE!!
