22- I Like Purple

"Liam do that thing where you stand on your head and hold yourself up with your arms!" Zayn laughed as he took a bite from his green apple. Their free period from uni was what they used as their lunch break, and the two boys have been sitting by the fountain for lunch daily since their first year.

"I'll need to take my shirt off," Liam said, hesitating.

"Nobody's around mate, come on!" Zayn encouraged, shooing Liam with his hands excitedly. Liam just laughed at his best friend and pulled his tank top and snapback off, getting ready for it.

He had managed to balance on his head, and was beginning to lift his torso and legs up as a boy started walking up to the fountain to sit and eat.

Liam's arms were bulging, and he kept his core abdomen tight as he balanced. The boy with lilac hair was walking by clutching a tray of food and a water bottle, but did a double take at Liam. As the boy twisted his lip piercing, he eyed the way the way the other muscles clenched, and the dark hair that went from his abs down under his pants, yet he didn't watch where he was going. Liam gave the cute boy a cheesy grin, before going back to staring at Zayn, and Niall laughed back as he continued staring.

It wasn't until they heard the loud splash that Liam got down from his position, and Zayn stopped whooping. Turning around, they saw a boy quickly get up from the water he was in, getting water everywhere. Zayn giggled a bit, but stopped Liam gave him a stern look.

Niall on the other hand, doubled over in laughter, completely losing it. Liam and Zayn then got caught into his contagious laughter, joining in on the giggles.

"Oh my god, are y-you okay?" Liam giggled out, standing up quickly to help the other boy out of the fountain. He gladly accepted, allowing Liam to pull him up and out of the water.

"Yeah, Jesus that was hilarious. I'm so sorry, I was watching you do that headstand thing and completely dumped my lunch into the fountain." He said with a chuckle, biting his lip piercing. Liam laughed again, going to shake his hand.

"Seems like you dumped a lot more than your lunch in there, babe." Liam joked, smiling when the small boy blushed. And that is when Niall's confidence flew out the window.

"Well anyway, I'm Liam." He said, finally releasing the boy's hand.

"Niall." He replied shyly.

"Your hair is purple." Liam said stupidly, and it was his turn to blush as Niall laughed. He was quick to try and fix his mistake, to save himself from utter embarrassment.

"I-I like purple.." He tried, and failed. Niall gave him an odd look.

"Well I-"

"Would you like to get lunch sometime?" Liam interrupted him, and covered his mouth quickly.

"Shit, I'm sorry. That was stupid of me, I-" this time Niall was the one to interrupt him, putting a dripping hand up to reassure him.

"I'd love to, Liam." Liam grinned, and jotted down his number on Niall's arm with a massive smiley face next to it.

Liam Payne

"Well Zayn and I have to get to lecture, but I'll talk to you soon, right?" Liam said, going to gather his stuff. Niall nodded quickly as he fished out his soggy lunch from the fountain to throw away.

"Here, take this." Liam handed over his uneaten lunch as well as his tank top and snapback, seeing the boy's light purple hair flop over his forehead.

Before he could protest, Zayn cut him off with a small smile.

"Don't worry mate, Liam can wear my jumper, I'm not using it anyway. Plus, his head is shaved so he doesn't have to worry about bad hair." Niall grinned, biting at his lip piercing shyly before nodding and mumbling a thank you.

"I'll see you later, Niall."
