Frat Boy Niall

FRAT BOY NIALL XXVI

When you opened your eyes, you were still lying naked on top of Niall, but you were surprisingly warm. You sat up and noticed that Niall had pulled a blanket over you to keep you warm, but it slid off your shoulders as you sat upright and stretched your arms out. You were still naked, and he was dressed, but you didn’t feel uncomfortable about it like you usually would, it just felt natural.

-Hello there.-he said and smiled warmly You rubbed your eyes and looked down at him. His hair was a bit messy, but he still looked as perfect as usual. He didn’t look like he was sleeping, so he must have lied there with you on top of him, waiting to fall asleep or for you to wake up and you felt bad for him.

-Sorry I fell asleep. 
-You were tired, it’s okay.-he rubbed your sides with both of his hands.-You alright? 
You nodded without thinking about it. You were more than okay, you were feeling amazing. You had him for real this time, he was there with you and things just couldn’t get any better. You just felt safe with him around, like nothing bad could happen if he was there.
-What time is it?-you asked and got up off of him, quickly getting dressed. 
Niall checked his phone and told you it’s almost midnight and that he should be getting home. He got up as well to fix his pants and shirt, but he sat back down on the sofa.
-Home?-you stopped moving and looked at him questioningly.-I thought you were gonna stay with me. 
-Here?-he seemed surprised by the offer, but when you nodded, he smiled.-Okay. 
-Let’s go up to my bed then, it’s comfier.-you offered him a hand and he took it as he got up. 
The two of you walked upstairs and he smacked your butt on the way up, telling you how hot you look in your pajamas and you smiled to yourself. It felt nice having Niall there with you in your room again. The last time you two were there, he had to rush out because your parents almost caught him after he sneaked in. You got under the covers quickly and turned off the lights. Niall was lying on his back on the other side of the bed, his body not touching yours and you turned around so that you were lying on your side and pressed your body against his. He rubbed your upper arm with his hand, but then he moved it away, still lying on his back. 
-What’s wrong?-you whispered, even though there wasn’t anybody else there. 
-Nothing, why?-he whispered back. 
-Why don’t you hug me?-you asked, and realized how vulnerable you were making yourself by saying that. 
-Do you want me to hug you? 
-Yes, I do. 
He cleared his throat and turned to his side, as well, and wrapped his arm around your waist, resting his head on the side of your neck, his cheek pressed against your neck and cheek and you felt safe and warm as you spooned. He didn’t seem relaxed at all, while you were completely enjoying the spooning, so you rubbed his thigh with your hand. 
-What’s wrong?-it was your turn to ask this time. 
-Nothing. I’m just not good with this stuff, relationships and all of this relationship stuff that I’m supposed to do, but I don’t know how.-he whispered into your neck, his lips slightly brushing your neck as he spoke.-I don’t know how I’m supposed to act. 
-You’re gonna start with that again?-you sighed, a bit annoyed.-I thought we were over that, you said you wanted this. You can relax, I’m not expecting anything, we’re just lying together. 
-I’m spending the night, that’s what I meant. Not about the relationship, I’m sure I want that.
-People usually do that when they have sex if they can have the whole house to themselves, but okay.-you shrugged.-If you want to go home, you can, I won’t get mad.
-No, I don’t. I just don’t know what to expect and it’s doing my head in. 
You slowly rubbed his arm which was around your waist. 
-Niall, just relax, you can trust me.-you turned your head towards him as much as you could.-Don’t you wanna stay here with me? I feel safe when you’re around, that’s why I want you here, I don’t have a scheme or a plan to make you stay. I want to be next to you. I don’t expect anything, just that you’re there. 
-I want to stay with you, I want to.-he said quietly, like he was scared of saying it.-But I’m not good with people and the more time we spend together, the more chances I get to screw things up with you and that’s something I don’t want to do. I’m not good with people at all, I don’t know how to act, I know I should know by now, but I don’t. I didn’t mean any thing bad by that.
-Just act like I act, okay? You’re not gonna screw anything up, we’re doing fine. There’s nothing to screw up. Just hug me and go to sleep and we’ll have breakfast in the morning and go to college and we can hang out in the afternoon with Ryan, if you want to. We can do whatever you want.-you rubbed his hand again.-And Niall, I don’t expect anything from you, just act like you’re acting now and we’re good. You can trust me and I trust you. 
He kissed the back of your neck a few times. 
-You make me happy, pet.
After spending Tuesday morning with Niall, you felt great. Things were going perfect for you, and you were a bit scared about everything falling apart, but you told yourself not to worry. You just had to get used to the fact that you’re with Niall now and that he wasn’t going anywhere. Tyler was more than happy to hear that Niall couldn’t come over on Tuesday night, because that meant you two could have a night in.
-Girl, this is so much fun.-he laughed.-I’m stuffed like a pig, eating this much junk food should be illegal. 
You were sprawled on the sofa right next to him and you didn’t even bother to reply, so you groaned in response. 
-Are you in the mood for the cake we bought? 
-Are you serious? I can’t move, I’ve never eaten this much in my life.-you laughed at him. 
He threw a cushion at you, saying you were a pig and went to the kitchen to take a piece of cake. You took your phone to check the time and noticed that Niall had texted you about an hour ago, but since you two were too busy eating, you didn’t even notice it. 
What are you doing, pet? I can’t make it tomorrow afternoon either, I’ve got to study for the finals, I think I’ll flunk
You frowned as you read the message. He bailed on you that day because he had double football practice and then some football meeting because he was the captain and they all had to go talk to the Teacher Council or something like that, you didn’t really know all the details because you weren’t into sports at all. You felt bad about it, but you were still happy because he said he could be over on Wednesday, but now he cancelled that, too. And you couldn’t see him on Thursday because that was your busiest day in college and you promised Tyler you’d go out with him to this concert he was talking about for weeks, you’ve already told Niall about it. That only left Friday night, and Niall couldn’t go out because they had a game at 9 am on Saturday, but he could come over and stay the night. And your parents were supposed to come home from their trip on Sunday, so that only left Friday night and Saturday afternoon if Niall wouldn’t be too tired after the game.
Tyler returned from the kitchen and asked you what’s wrong when he saw the pouting look you had on your face as you looked at your phone screen.
-Niall can’t come tomorrow. 
-You’ll see him, it’s not the end of the world, you’re getting too attached anyway.-he sat next to you.-This way you’ll get some time to actually miss him and the sex is gonna be awesome next time you do it, that’s an advantage right there. Spend some time with me, bitch, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
You chuckled at him. He was right, you wanted to see Niall every day and you knew it was too much. Niall wasn’t that type of guy, even though you were official now. You shouldn’t push your luck, things were going good and overdoing everything would just ruin it.
-You’re right. I just hate it when I’m looking forward to something with him and then it falls through.-you shrugged. 
I’m sorry you can’t make it, but it’s okay, go study! 
I’ll make it up to you, I swear x
You smiled to yourself after you’ve read that message. He didn’t know that just his presence made it all better for you, he didn’t have to do anything special to make it up to you other than show up.
-You smile to yourself like a little schoolgirl when you get a text from him, oh my God.-Tyler shook his head as he laughed.-Is he really that good? 
-Are you serious?-you chuckled. 
-Yeah, I really wanna know. Everyone’s saying he’s a good fuck, and you never say anything about it, at least not until you got more serious or whatever, so I want the details, girl.-he leaned in and crossed his hands across his chest.-Come on!
-What do you want to know? 
-Everything! 
-He’s really, really good in bed and I’m not just saying that, because I know I can be honest with you, and I am. I’d tell you if he was bad.-you cleared your throat.-He’s literally perfect. There are times when he gets rough and wants to make me beg and all that, and even though I enjoy that, I prefer the times when he’s all cute and nice to me while we do it. And he dirty talks like a pro, you should hear that! The way he says things makes you want to do it to them, I’d literally do anything he wanted me to. 
-Anything? Really? Man, he must be good if you say that, you’re a bit of a prude.-he chuckled.-He looks like he’s good in bed, so it was no surprise. You’ve got it all going on for you now, he’s hot as fuck, he’s good in bed and he’s nice to you. What more can a girl ask for? 
-Exactly, absolutely nothing!-you laughed.-He’s amazing. 
-Do you love him? 
That question got you taken aback. You weren’t really expecting it, especially not after the sex talk. You weren’t ready to even think about it, let alone talk about it to someone else. Relationships weren’t something you were familiar with and love even less. Loving someone was serious, and you didn’t know if you loved him. Yeah, you had a great time with him and you wished you could be together all the time, but love takes two. You can’t really say you’ve been in love with someone unless you’ve lived through that love together and you knew Niall didn’t love you. He had some feelings for you, he told you he cared, and you cared for him and you were okay with that. Defining love was a serious thing and you two were nowhere near ready for that. You loved your parents, you loved Tyler, but the thing you felt for Niall was different, it wasn’t as strong as that kind of love, but you felt something towards him.
-I care about him. A lot. 
-And that’s all?-Tyler cocked an eyebrow and smirked.-Really? 
-Yeah, I think. I mean, we’re too young for that. 
-Let’s ask your parents, they were already together for two years when they were 19, so age has nothing to do with it. I always say that. You can love someone even if you’re young. My mom said the man who loved the most was the guy she dated when she was 17, so you know, it doesn’t mean anything.
-My parents may have been in love then, but times are different now. Who gets married to their high-school sweetheart nowadays? I feel like there’s a bunch of other options out there and I know Niall feels like that too. For now, I’m cool with him, I’m more than happy, but I don’t want to fall in love because he can decide to explore those other options any day, and I’d be left with nothing.-you shrugged.-So it’s better not to put any labels on anything. That way things hurt less.
-That’s the whole thing about relationships. You’re both aware of other options, but you’re into each other too much to even think about them. And love is when you know there are other options, some of them hotter, some of them better in bed, some of them even better people, but you still don’t want anything other than the person you have now because they have all the exact amounts of everything you’re looking for. Like you know, everyone has their flaws and some people just can’t put up with some flaws, while others can. And you have to find the person who has the flaws you can tolerate. For example, Niall not being able to be in a relationship for such a long time would be a flaw most girls wouldn’t be able to put up with, but you could.-he nodded.-Man, I do talk a lot of shit. 
-You really do.-you poked your tongue at him.-I agree with you, though. I just don’t think it’s like that between the two of us. It may be one day, but right now, it’s not. We’re just really into each other, we care and we have a good time, but it’s too early to start thinking about those things.
-What, you want to be with other people?-he frowned.-No, you don’t. I know you and I know you don’t want that. You’re not that kind of person, no matter what you say.
-Maybe he does.-you shrugged, not wanting to talk about it.-It doesn’t matter, things are good now! I don’t want to ruin anything by over thinking. You always tell me not to think too much, so we have to stop this right now, Ty.
You were a bit upset about not getting to see Niall as much as you wanted to, so when you saw him in college, you instinctively hugged him and cursed yourself for doing that. College wasn’t a place for hugging and you knew Niall hated PDA, he made it pretty clear to you the last time you got too close to him in public. He wrapped his arms around your waist, however, and kissed your neck before pulling away. 
-Good day to you, too.-he smiled and checked you out from head to toe.-Looking good! 
-Thank you!-you grinned.-What are you up to? 
-I have a 30 minute break, wanna go sit in the cafeteria, maybe eat something? 
He didn’t even know how much his invitation meant to you. It seemed like it was yesterday when he told you he doesn’t want to be seen with you in college and now he was initiating it. 
-Sure, I have a break, too.-you nodded happily.-How’s practice going? 
-It’s going good, a bit demanding, but hey, I’ve got to sacrifice. I’m really tired all the time, though, I’m not in the mood for anything.-he complained as you walked down the hall to the cafeteria.-Except for you, I’d do you any time. 
You chuckled and looked at him, noticing how much both of you have changed. He was walking with you, knowing everyone was staring, knowing everyone would know about the two of you, but he didn’t seem to be worried about it one bit. Niall seemed happy and he seemed like he wanted to be around you, and that made you happy too. And as for you, if that had happened a month ago, you’d probably get offended by his last remark, thinking it’s all about sex, but you weren’t feeling that way anymore. Everything was finally how it should be.
As you entered the cafeteria, side by side, people started turning around and staring. Some of them tried to be casual and they pretended they were just staring at something behind you two, but some were just rudely staring at you. Niall nudged you and asked if you wanted a pudding, and you nodded, so he got two and you two walked over to the corner far back and sat down. 
-That was weird.-he laughed and started eating his pudding, and you’ve never seen someone eat it as fast as he did. 
You thought he’d be upset about everyone staring, but he wasn’t, he seemed to be enjoying the attention. 
-Yup. They’ll find something better to look at. Except these bitches next to us, they’re staring since we’ve walked in. 
Niall turned around to see what you were talking about and he saw the three girls blatantly staring at you and talking, not even trying to hide that. He looked at you, rolled his eyes and then turned around to them again. 
-Is this a cinema?-he raised his voice. 
They all shook their heads as a no. 
-Then what the fuck you looking at? I know she’s hot, you don’t have to stare at her.-he made a grimace at them, and they all turned around. 
You covered your mouth with your hands as you giggled and he winked at you. 
-That’s how you get things done. 
Just when you were finishing your pudding, and Niall was going through some notes for the next class, Jake entered the cafeteria with a huge grin on his face. He noticed the two of you sitting all alone in the corner and walked over to you straight away. 
-Well, hello lovebirds!-he spread his arms and laughed loudly.-Y/N, such a pleasure to see you. I must say, you’ve done a great job whipping him like a little bitch. 
-Here we go again.-Niall leaned back in his seat and sighed, and you just looked at Niall instead of Jake, deciding to ignore him all together. 
-Mind if I join?-he asked, but sat down before any of you had the chance to answer. 
-Niall, I talked to Lily today at her practice.-he leaned his head on his palms and smiled at Niall, who was getting a bit uncomfortable. 
Was he talking about the Lily from the cheerleader team? She was fit, she really was, but why would Niall be interested in that? He said he was over that. You turned around to face Jake, wondering what he was going to say next. You knew it was going to be something bad, you just knew it. He wouldn’t be that happy if it wasn’t bad, either for you or for Niall, or maybe for the both of you. And Niall seemed more uncomfortable with every second, so it was more than obvious that Jake had something on him, something only you didn’t know, apparently.
-She told me how you tried to make a move on her while we were out that night, that you pulled her dress down or something like that when she just came over to ask you for a lighter? I didn’t think of you as a pushy guy, but I get it, it’s the alcohol, right?-his tone was questioning.-Thank God she turned you down, that would be a disaster, considering how happy you two seem to be now. 
You just stared at Niall and felt your heart sink down to your stomach because you knew it was true. You couldn’t believe he’d do that. No, Niall wouldn’t do something like that to you, he asked you to be with him, he was around you a lot more than usual, he was really sweet and caring. Yes, that’s what it. That’s why he was acting like that, because of all the guilt he was feeling. He made a move on Lily and she turned him down and then he came back home to you and pretended he had feelings for you when in fact, his pride was hurt because that bitch turned him down and he didn’t want to lose you too.
-You don’t know what you’re talking about, that didn’t happen.-Niall shook his head at Jake, but he didn’t speak to you.-You weren’t even there. 
-It’s a good thing she stopped you on time, that’s all I know.-Jake grinned at Niall and then at you, and you couldn’t be there any longer.-I mean, you have such a great girl, it would be a shame to throw it all away. 
-Would you look at the time!-you looked at your phone and got up.-See you! 
Instead of going towards the classrooms, you went straight for the exit, not caring about who saw you running. You knew it was true. There was no way that Niall had feelings for you, it was all too good to be true and you felt it all along and now it just hit you back in the face. You let yourself fall when you knew there was no way he’d ever fall for you, at least not in the way you wanted him to. You shouldn’t have let yourself believe that he was serious about you. He didn’t care. All Niall cared about was sex, and while he was away, he had to get it, even if you weren’t there. It stung like a bitch, but you told yourself not to cry as you walked out of the college. It was time to be a big girl. 
-Hey, girl, wait up!-you heard Tyler’s voice behind you and you turned around instantly.
He took a step towards you and tears just came streaming down your face as you grabbed his shirt and he wrapped his big arms around you, pulling you in closer. 
-What’s wrong?-he nuzzled your hair.-What happened? 
-I, I think Niall wanted to cheat on me.-you sobbed into his shirt.-And Lily turned him down, so they didn’t, but he’d do it. 
Tyler hugged you even tighter until my breathing calmed down. 
-We’re going to a cafe, you’re gonna tell me everything. 
Tyler drove you to a place nearby and you couldn’t get yourself to calm down, it upset you too much. You barely managed to get all the words out. You told him everything that had happened through tears.
-Wait, what? Jake said that? I can’t believe this!-Tyler seemed furious -Just so you know, I did my inquiries, I asked Jessie about it and she said he wasn’t even out and that she didn’t see him there at all. I didn’t hear a thing about Lily, so it could be that Jake made it up. 
-Niall didn’t deny it at all.-you shook your head. 
-Why didn’t you ask him about it? If you’re both like into this and you said there won’t be other people, just ask him, you have the right to know. I don’t think he’ll have the nerve to lie to your face.-he was still upset.-If he does that, you dump him right away and then I’ll go beat the shit out of him. 
-I don’t wanna hear it.-you shook your head again.-I can’t hear those words. 
-I don’t care, stop being a fucking pussy!-he grabbed your phone out of your hand.-You need to know. If he did, ditch him, if he didn’t, you can’t throw your thing away. He makes you happy. You need to find out. Oh look, he called three times, call him back. 
You looked at the screen and your hands shook as you pressed call. It rang just two times before he picked up. 
-Where are you? Where did you go? Don’t do this to me, Y/N, come on!-he spoke quickly and nervously.
-I want to know what you did.-you simply said. 
-Where are you? I want to talk in person, I need to see you now.-he sounded scared of the outcome.-Please. 
You told him the address and hung up before turning back to Tyler. 
-He’s coming?-he asked and you just nodded.-Good. Listen, you go out there and wait for him. See what he has to say. I’m right here. If you need to talk to me, just come back inside and I’ll go outside and beat the hell out of him. I’m here. 
-Thank you, Ty.-you hugged him tightly again, thankful to have such a good friend. 
-I mean it, if it’s bad, just come back in here.-he rubbed your cheek.-It’s all going to be okay, trust me. People fuck you over, that’s life, it hurts like a bitch, but you’ll get over it eventually. I really hope he didn’t do shit on that trip, but if he did, we’ll get through this. We got through a bunch of things, we’re gonna get through this as well. 
-We will.-you swallowed and nodded at him.-We will. 
-No crying. Go out and be strong.-he wiped the tears away with his thumbs.-I’m here. 
You nodded and slowly got up before walking out of the cafe some time later, scared of what was coming next. Not knowing if Niall did anything behind your back or not was too much for you. You told yourself not to cry, you couldn’t. Instead of standing there awkwardly, you sat down on the nearest bench, and thankfully, there weren’t many people around you. A minute later, Niall showed up. You wanted so say something, but you knew that if you just spoke a word, you’d break down and start crying and you didn’t want to do that in front of him. He made you weak, but you didn’t want to show him just how much, it was too painful and embarrassing.
-Y/N, are you okay?-he took a step forward and frowned.-Hey, let me explain!
You just nodded and stared at his knees instead of his head. You couldn’t stand looking at him. 
-Y/N, please tell me you don’t believe that shit.-he grabbed your shoulders and you looked up at his face as he stood above you.-It’s not true, that’s not how it happened. She came on to me. 
-Oh really?-you sniffed.-Is that why you didn’t mention it to me, because she came on to you? Don’t give me that crap. 
Niall squatted right down between your legs and looked straight into your eyes. He placed his palms on your knees and squeezed them. The look in his eyes told you he was worried about it, worried about you.
-You know it’s not like that. I’ve told you how I feel about you.-he looked at your lips and then at your eyes again.-She came on to me, I said no, and I surprised myself by doing that, because it’s not me. I thought I was gonna do it, but I couldn’t, I looked at her and it wasn’t you and I couldn’t because I made a promise to you and you’ve been through a lot because of me. I wouldn’t do that to you, there’s no way. I know it doesn’t mean a lot, I know my word doesn’t mean shit after what I’ve done to you back then with Jessie, but I’m trying really hard to make this work, and I know you’ve noticed that. I was a jerk and I toyed with girls, I don’t have anything to hide from you, and I’d tell you if I did anything because you’re not someone I ever want to hurt or lie to. I didn’t want to tell you because it sounds unbelievable, but I told Connor what happened just before the game next morning, so just call him now and he’ll tell you the truth. Here’s my phone. 
He actually handed you his phone and then you knew he was serious. Connor couldn’t have known about this because he wasn’t there at the cafeteria when Jake said it. If it never happened, Connor couldn’t possibly know about Niall’s made up story, which only meant that his story was true. 
-Are you sure that’s how it happened? 
-Yes.-he nodded and rubbed your cheek with his thumb.-I didn’t touch anyone but you, I swear, I don’t know how to prove it to you.
You rubbed your eyes with your palms and sighed. 
-It just seems so true. I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t take the offer, but I trust you. 
-Don’t be stupid, Y/N. For a smart girl, you’re dumb as fuck sometimes.-he shook his head at you.-I’ve told you what I think about us and don’t make me say it again, you know I don’t like that. You’ll just have to take my word for it, even though it’s not much.
You nodded and swallowed the lump in your throat. Niall got up and sat next to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and leaning in to whisper in your ear. 
-I care about you and I wouldn’t hurt you and I need you to believe that because I believe you. 
You turned around to face him and he looked so childishly innocent that you pressed your lips against his and hugged him. 
-Me too.-you replied and kissed him again. 
-Well good, I don’t know much, but I know that’s the way it’s supposed to be, right? If we both trust each other, then it’s okay. We’re okay. That’s all that matters.
