#6 He gets insecure

A/N: Just making sure that you know this was set as they were gaining fame; this is set like almost right after the X-Factor.

You were doing your weekly Skype call with Niall. "Hey darling" he beamed as soon as you were both connected. You blushed a bit since you weren't use to being called cute names like this. Niall and you had only been dating a bit before he went out for the X-Factor.

"Hey" you replied as a pink tint covered your checks, Niall giggled a bit.

"Well I don't have long since the boys and I are getting ready to go to sleep but I wanted your opinion on something." he said getting to the point. "What do you think of my teeth?" he said as he rolled back his lips and moved closer to the webcam so you could examine his teeth.

"They're great Niall" you said honestly.

"Really?" he said anxiously scooting back so you could see his face.

"Yeah of course Niall. Why does it matter?" you said. Niall's face fell, he looked to the floor. "Well, it's just that when we were signing the contracts we had a little party after with people who are big investors in Modest. I went to go and use the restroom and I heard two people talking as I was about to walk in but I heard the conversation and stayed outside and listened. He began with the story:

"What do you think about the blonde?" one of them said.

"You mean the one with those teeth?" the other said, "I mean he's a great kid, extremely funny but I defiantly think his teeth need to be fixed".

The first one replied "Agreed".

Niall was tearing up by now "babe" you said rubbing his jaw on your laptop (like rubbing it where it's showing up on the screen). This was something you and Niall did; it showed what you'd do if he was with you right then without having to say those painful words "if you were here".

"I'm sorry" he said as he wiped a few stray tears from his face.

"Don't be" you said, "Your teeth are freaking fabulous, your smile is the cutest thing in the world".

"I mean but my teeth are all jagg-" he said before being cut off by you.

"Niall, you've never once mentioned your teeth bothering you before so why does it matter now?" you said, "Niall, now that you're going to be famous and people are always going to try to pull you down. I know it's going to be hard and all but you have to remember that people though dirt at shining things."

"Thanks babe, I feel a bit better" he said yawning.

"Don't thank me" you said, "just go and get some sleep".

"Yes ma'ma" he said saluting you; you laughed at him.

"I'll text you in the morning love" he said.

"Okay babe" you replied.
