operation: sail malum

Liam was typing quickly at his laptop getting everything he wanted typed down, after meeting Niall the night before he actually had some idea of what to write. He was in the zone; he was in the coffee shop with his coffee and muffin, the coffee gone and muffin being untouched. He was actually into it so much that he almost didn't notice when a hooded figure sat down across from him with their head down, so he couldn't see their face when he did notice. He did notice the figure he almost let out a girlish scream, remembering where he was Liam kept it in.

"Who are you?" Liam asked, shutting his laptop to give his full attention to the new comer.

"My name doesn't matter." A low almost American sounding voice came from the figure, although, Liam noticed a slight Irish accent in there.

"Hey Niall." He said with a small smile and watched as the blonde pulled down his hood.

"You are the worst for mysteries, Mr. Writer. I was trying to be mysterious and you messed it up!" Niall went off on a small rant about the importance of a good mystery for a while. Liam actually ate his muffin while the blond spoke, nodding here and there.

"Anyway, I want your help." Niall said, finishing off his rant. Liam had half a muffin left so he decided to put it down and save it for a later time.

"What do you need help with?" Liam asked.

"Malum."

"Malum?"

"Oh right, you don't know Malum. Malum is the name I have given to my two best friends Michael and Calum. Michael has a huge crush on Calum and Calum has one on Michael. Only problem they're both too scared to say anything to each other. I was thinking of how to get them together, but then it dawned on me and I said to myself: 'Niall, you know a writer whose job is to create stories and he would know how to come up with a plan to get Malum together.' and here I am. Also do you want the rest of your muffin?" Niall paused, eyeing Liam's blueberry muffin. Being the kind bloke he is Liam handed his muffin to the blond. "Great! Thanks. Where was I?"

"Malum.' Liam supplied helpfully. He was taking all this down into memory so he could write it later. Something about Niall just sparked ideas into the brunet’s mind, not that Liam was complaining, not at all. He quite liked it.

"Right! Malum! So can you help me get them together with that writer brain of yours?" The blonde asked and tapped the side of his own skull.

"I can try." Liam really didn't want to disappoint Niall, plus helping would allow him more time to spend with the blonde so he could get to know him.

"Wonderful! Meet me at my flat in three hours and don't forget to look mysterious!" And with that Niall was off, leaving Liam alone once again in the coffee shop.

For the first hour of waiting Liam had written up his encounter with Niall. He set the whole thing up as a mystery since that's how Niall had tried to act at first. It was shaping up to be a pretty good story with what Liam had written. Although by the end of the hour Liam had gotten stuck and wasn't sure what else to write. He thought about writing more of the superhero thing, but checking the time to see that he had two more hours to get ready. He figured he should get ready instead. Liam packed up his things, threw his coffee cup and used muffin wrapper into a bin and then headed to his flat to change.

Honestly Liam didn't put too much effort into looking mysterious. He threw on a grey hoodie and figured that was good enough. It didn't make him noticeable, and to him, some of the most mysterious where the ones that aren't noticed. The brunet grabbed his car keys and phone, sending Niall a quick text Liam jogged down the stairs and into his car. By the time that he got into the car he received a text from Niall giving him his needed directions.
