Falling for a merman (Lilo/Narry Merman fanfic) Niall merman!!!!!

Chapter Five...

~Harry

I wake up with a jolt of excitement. Today I get to see Niall again. I turn to see Liam next to me and remember that I had slept over at his house. I bolt out of the bed and run out of the house. I reach my house in a matter of minutes.

"There you are you little faggot! Time for your daily beating..." That immediately destroys my excitement. Honestly, I don't know what has gotten into him. One second he's all sunshine and rainbows, and the next second he wants to beat me to a pulp! I nod, knowing that if I comply I might get off easier.

I cringe as his fist connects with my face. I rub my swollen cheek and get ready for a second blow, but nothing comes my way. My Uncle looks almost frozen. It's as if he was possessed and now he's not....

"I'll let you off easy today kid.... That's just because I have business to attend to" He shouts before sprinting out the doorway.

'Probably more merman shit' I think to myself. ' Well, at least there was less beatings than I had expected.....' I head out of the house, not bothering to ask for permission to leave. Honestly, I don't care.

As I walk towards the docks I ponder whether or not I should tell my Uncle about Niall. I decide against it, because one, Niall does not seem like a demon with red eyes and claws, and two, because I wouldn't want to live with the guilt that I was the reason for someone's death. I sit on the edge of the docks and wait for Niall to arrive.

After a while, I start to give up. Maybe he forgot, or maybe e just ddn't want to come... I see a sudden splash of water about three feet away and start to rethink that possibility. Thirty seconds later, I see Niall's head poke out of the water. He starts to swim towards me.

"Hey Harry" He greets. I wave.

"Hey Niall. I was starting to think that you didn't want to see me" I reply with a laugh. Niall laughs too.

"No, I just had to get past the king and queen..... They were wondering why I was sneaking out again" He explains. I nod my head in understanding.

"So.... How's life" I ask. I know it's a strange question, but I had to try and make some sort of conversation!

"Life is good. How's your life."

"Alright, I guess" I respond.

"That's good..." Niall says with a smile.

I smile back, because his smile is just so contagious.

"So how about we get to know each other" I suggest.

"Alright" Niall responds.

"Alright, so I'm from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England, and I had an older sister, but she and my parents abandoned me when I was five, and I'm twent years old. My birthday is February First" I start.

"I'm so sorry that your parents abandoned you" Niall states sympathetically, and he actually does look like he meant it.

"It okay, my parents were real dicks anyways" I state with a laugh. Niall smiles.

"Your turn."

"Oh.. Okay. So obviously, I'm from Ireland, I was actually born in a small river in Mullingar Co., Westmeath, Ireland. I'm twenty years old, and was born on September 13th" Niall introduces. So he's older than me....

"What kind of things do you like to do" I ask.

"Well, I like to sing, and occasionally, when I'm on shore, I like to watch people mill about. WHat about you?" I have to think for a second.

"Well, like you I also like to sing, and I like to play football" I answer.

"Football seems fun" Niall states. I nod.
