Love Is A Colour - Ziall Horlik AU

Niall Horan is a freak. Or so he is told every single day of his life by everyone he passes. That is, everyone but his parents of course,  and Ms. Freda , his art teacher. Niall loves art, it is his life, painting especially.

He just adores the way his brush glides over his page, leaving trails of colours, bringing everything to life right in front of him. He loves the way he doesn't have to think when he's painting, doesn't have to worry about anything at all. As soon as his brush touches paper, his mind just seems to rid of any negative thoughts and just let go. 

This dedication to art is not liked by other people at his school though, to them this is another sign that 'Faggie' is just a worthless freak. Niall is both physically and verbally bullied every day at school, he doesn't know why they do it,they just do. 

Zayn Malik is a normal teenage boy from Bradford. He's got a good group of friends, girls that adore him and everything is going fine for him.

That is, until his Dad gets a new job in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire and the family are forced to move. Zayn has to say goodbye to his friends and his now ex-girlfriend back home and move to this small and boring town.

Zayn starts his new school a week later, having settled into the new house, and immediately his eyes catch sight of a small blonde boy scurrying through the halls, notebook held close to his chest. For some reason, Zayn feels oddly attracted to the blonde, and wants to find out more about him, to protect him.
