"Josh and I call the elevator!" Niall yelled, grabbing Josh's hand and running for it, laughing when he tripped over his shoe.
"Niall! What are we doing?" Josh panted, his face turning red from running. They ran down the hallway and turned left, heading to the metal doors but stopping when Niall noticed a large yellow tape that had bold letters across it "DO NOT USE"
"Looks like it's the stairs for us." Josh groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. Rolling his eyes, Niall turned to him and sighed.
"Come on Josh! Live while we're young right?" Niall winked at him, get cringing when he realized what he said. Niall pulled off the tape, rang the bell and waited for the doors to open.
"Niall, what if something happens?" Josh was looking at him, a worried look on his face.
"Fuck sake Josh, just get in! £40 if we beat the boys to rehearsal, remember?" Niall laughed and stepped in the small compartment when the doors opened. He pushed aside the amber lights going off in his head.
"Right... Yeah," Josh muttered, his face turning back to it's normal colour but his worried expression didn't leave.
The doors closed and there was a dinging sound along with soft music playing, filling the room with its annoying chimes and bells going off.
"Anyway, what's the worst that could happ- Oh, probably that..." Niall sighed, the lift had stopped, the music did too and the lights on the buttons had left them looking cold.
"Shit, shit, shit! I told you Niall!" Josh started pacing up and down the compartment. Niall's mind went blank and he felt the already small room getting even smaller. His breathing sped up and he felt dizzy.
"Josh-" Nialled called out, closing his eyes.
"Fuck, Niall, do you have your phone?" He bent down beside Niall pushing his arm out the way to get to his pocket. Niall nodded and moved, helping Josh get to the phone.
"No. Signal." He sighed, chucking the phone over his shoulder. Niall just ignored the cracking sound coming from his £600 phone, he was too busy focusing on his breathing.
"Ni, don't fall asleep on me. Just... Sit up, and I'll help you." Josh offered, opening his arms for Niall.
"Mm- Josh my head hurts" He whined, moving into the older boys arms. Feeling a kiss pressed to his head, Niall smiled a bit. His breathing was calming down but the headaches weren't going.
"They'll find us Niall, we just gotta wait." He soothed, brushing his hands through Niall's hair.
Opening his mouth to say something but closing it when the main light went off. Niall groaned and sat up properly, Josh's grip tightened on him and Niall felt his heart beat louder.
"I'm blind!" Niall shouted then let out a small laugh, Josh groaned and pushed the smaller boy out his arms. Waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dark, Niall could see the outline of Josh. He was curled into himself, with his arms wrapped round his knees. His face was buried in his legs and Niall heard his breathing become more rapid.
"Josh? What's wrong?" Niall moved closer and put his arm around the drummer. He leaned into his side and let out a shaky sigh.
"I'm- Uh... Scared of the dark." He whispered, burying his face in his knees again.
"Oh! I forgot, sorry..." Niall so badly wanted to kiss him. It's not the first time he had this feeling. As soon as he met Josh, he always want to kiss him.
"Niall?" He whispered, tugging on the blond's shirt in a childish way. Niall smiled at him and asked what's wrong.
"I.. Can I try something?"
"Depends what, Josh."
"I um..."
"Oh shut up and kiss me" Niall demanded, feeling warm but dry lips against his seconds later. It was still perfect, even when the arm Niall was supporting both himself and Josh on gave up, making Josh land on him.
Laughing like idiots, Josh sat up and so did Niall. It was still pitch black but Niall's near panic attack seemed to be averted and Josh seemed to be more than happy now.
"Niall, I think I'm in love with you." Josh whispered into Niall's ear. He smiled and hugged him.
"I think I'm in love with you too Josh... Maybe." Niall winked but mentally cursed himself when he realized that Josh wouldn't be able to see it.
"You spend too much time with Louis." Josh laughed, patting Niall on the head.
"Going up." The voice programmed for the elevator said, two seconds later the boys could hear clanks of a machine and the elevator finally moving up.
* * * *
"Where have you been? You're almost twenty minutes late," Liam asked, running over to the boys when they appeared. Niall was underneath Josh's arm, with his arm around Josh's torso.
"We got stuck in the elevator, thanks for the help." Josh laughed, his face red.
"But Niall, you're claustrophobic? Are you okay?" Liam asked, more questions coming out. Niall nodded, smiling.
"Mhm, I'm fine idiot." He laughed, pulling Josh even closer. The drummer smiled at him, Liam gave the two a grin and ran back over to the rest of the boys.
"Think he's guessed?" Niall whispered, nudging Josh in the ribs.
"Babe, I think he knew before we did." Josh winked before kissing Niall on the lips.
Niall felt so happy, almost at peace with himself knowing Josh returned the feelings the boy had for him.
