Frat Boy Niall

TEMPTATION [FRAT BOY NIALL]

Saying I love you was always an issue for you and you were happy to finally get it off your chest. You both felt the same, you both admitted that to each other and things were supposed to be amazing from then on, or at least that was what you thought. But, they stayed the same. Not a single thing changed and you expected at least something to change in your relationship after saying the three big words. That’s how you always imagined that and you were a bit disappointed about how ordinary everything was, even after that. 

Niall seemed happy and he wanted to show you and your relationship off to the world. PDA was one of the things you hated the most about couples. It’s great that two people are in love, but does everyone really need to know how much? Niall obviously didn’t share your opinion since his cover photo on Facebook was a picture of you sleeping on his bed with a caption “baby <3”. Okay, you thought that was cute, but he kept on publishing pictures of you two every couple of days and the amazing music he used to post was now replaced by cheesy love songs that made you cringe. You didn’t say anything because you knew he would have taken it the wrong way and you didn’t want to fight with him about anything. 

Niall left for his football game on Monday and they won, even though they didn’t expect that because their opponents were the best college team that year, so they had to stay out of town for a whole week and maybe even 12 days if they won the next game as well. Niall was really bummed out when he heard that because he was hoping to see you sooner than that. 

-I just wanna come back home and hang out with you… I miss you.-he sounded tired over the phone.

-Aw, baby, I miss you, too! We’re gonna get through this, don’t worry about that. 

-Twelve days, that’s such a long time, the longest I went without seeing you was three days and I was so pissed off on everyone else, fuck.-he stopped for a while.-You be good, babe, alright? 

-Always.-you giggled. 

-Fuck, I can’t wait to see you! 

-Me too, Niall… Listen, don’t think about that, focus on the game, I’m so proud of you! I really hope you guys win this! 

-Yeah, it’s great, but you know I’m not that into football anymore. I’d rather go to the lake with you than spend a week with the guys, I don’t have anything to do here.-he sighed. 

-Wow.-you simply said, not knowing what to say to all of that.-The old Niall would rather die than say that.

-The old Niall was a dick, I thought we agreed on that one.-he sounded a bit irritated.

-Yeah, but a hot one.

It made him laugh, but only for a couple of seconds.

-So, what are you gonna do this week?

You had two options. You could tell him the truth and have him get upset, which would only lead to a useless fight since he couldn’t change your mind about it and you wouldn’t be able to convince him that there’s nothing to worry about and you’d both end up getting pissed off and shouting at each other. Or, you could always lie. It would be a small lie, and a small lie never hurt anyone, right?

-Nothing much since Tyler’s not around. I’m just gonna hang out with some other friends, go for a walk, read a book, have a date with myself… Just do the things I can’t do when I’m with you.

-You can do whatever you want, even when I’m with you.

-It doesn’t always feel that way.

Awkward silence at bot ends of the line. You knew that it wasn’t the right time to start a serious conversation about your relationship because that should be done in person, not when you’re miles away from each other and won’t be able to see each other for a week at least. If you talked about it in person, you could calm Niall down and explain all your reasons to him rationally and calmly, but over the phone, he just wouldn’t listen.
