More Than Friends. (AU Niam)

Chapter 1

Liam' s POV

"What do you want to do?" Niall asks.

"Uh, um, wanna watch a movie?" This is happening a lot lately. I look into Niall' s  blue eyes and zone out. He is supposed to be my best mate, not my crush. I can't tell him, or it will ruin everything. It will ruin the friendship we've had since we were 9. I can't jepordize it,  so I just have to control myself.

"I'll be right back. I have to use the bathroom." I jump up and  rush down the hall to his bathroom. This place is my second home. I'v been here as much as i've been at my house the last 6 years. When I enter the bathroom, I lock the door shut and leap onto the counter. I try to tell myself that if I tell him I'll ruin our friendship. I have had thoughts about coming out so many times, but I don't know. I keep thinking about what Niall would think. If he knew I liked guys then he would probably ask if I liked him and I can't lie to him. He has always had a way of knowing when I'm lying and I don't want him to reject me. I realized that I have been here for a while and splash some cold water on my face and leave.

"You were in there for a while. Please say you didn't blow up my bathroom."

"Clam down. I was-uh- I was texting someone." Way to make it believable.

"Ohhhhh,"he nudges me, "who is it?"  I can feel my cheeks heating up. Oh, if he only knew.

"Shut up. It's no one. It doesn't matter." I blurt "What movie are we watching?"

"Geez Liam. You need to get laid. And we're watching The Conjuring."

"Okay 1). I don't need to get laid and 2). Why The Conjuring. I don't like horror movies." Horror movies are just creepy and he knows I hate them. "Calm down it was a joke, but it wouldn't hurt to try. When girls moan your na-"

"Stop." He talks about girls he has messed with and then I think of me and him- I need to stop thinking about this.

"Alright. And The Conjuring is the only good movie."

"What about Netflix." I will do anything not to watch this. "Haha. No way. The XBOX is in my sister's room because her boyfriend broke up with her and she has been watching "a sad movie marathon" and I do not want her to freak out on me. Why? Is Liam scared of scary movies" he pinches my cheek and I slap it off. " No I'm not. I'll watch it." What the fuck have I just done. "Wow. Liam is going to watch a The Conjuring." He grabs the remote and presses play.

By the end of the movie I have my knees to my chest scaried out of my mind and Niall's laughing at me. "Come on. Man up. It wasn't that bad."

"Yes, yes it was." It was so fucking creepy. I scoot away from him pretending to pout. "Aww does Li need a hug." I scoot even farther away because I know what he will do. He gets up and  pushes my knees down and then sits sides ways on my lap and gives me a big hug. I know he only does it because we are best friends but I wish it was more.
