My sister's boyfriend

13

Author's note: Sorry that this is before I have even began writing, but this chapter was going to go one of two ways. It starts off one way and it is going to take you in another direction, but this is more than likely that moment that you guys were waiting on this whole time, despite all of the bullcrap. Anyway, enjoy. 

Liam gripped his hand tightly, a smile etching onto his features easily. He felt perfectly content where he is at in this moment, the man smiling back at him with fondness. The setting was absolutely perfect: On a blanket, waiting for the sun to set just so he could see the stars and point them out. It was rare that he got moments like these, but with Niall, he seemed to like exactly what he did. 

Liam officially came out to his whole family, including Zayn, at the family dinner. His mother laughed at him and yelled at his father "I called it!" It was quite a relieving experience if it wasn't for Zayn staring holes into him like he just told his darkest secret. Perrie  quickly drew his attention back with a kiss, but still glared at Liam from time to time. 

Liam returned to not talking to Zayn, except this time it was easier. When he awoke to Zayn already being gone, the hole in his chest felt worse. Zayn decided to refuse to talk to Liam, even though you could tell he wanted to. Instead, he glares, hoping that the boy will understand what he is saying through his eyes. And Liam does, but he tries not to care. It was easier because him and Zayn are almost on the same page, but for different reasons. Zayn refuses to come out and hurt Perrie along with his repuation, Liam refuses to keep hurting himself. 

Niall was a fairly new kid. Liam didn't even realize that the boy was in his class until he sat down next to him on the next day (and considering that Zayn and him shared all of the classes except for art, Liam is fairly certain that he noticed too). They hit it off easy; Niall had this Irish charm to him that Liam couldn't possibly say no to once Niall asked him out. 

And now here they are. Staring at the clouds and talking about random subjects. 

"So you are Perrie's s brother, right?"

"Yeah"

"And she is dating that scary looking Zayn?" 

"Yeah," Liam felt the constriction in his throat, and it was the last thing he wanted. 

"That guy has been staring me down for a week now. I think he is planning my murder or something." Niall laughed but Liam was not happy about that. 

"Don't worry about him. He's really tough on the outside, but he is a nice guy when he wants to show it." Liam shocked himself by defending, but he couldn't help it. 

"You know him well?"

"Too well

"What?" 

"Nothing. Look at that star?" And Niall let it go. He was not going to tell Niall.. not now. Myabe if they got far enough he could see himself stressing on how he was going to tell someone he had sex (twice) with his sister's boyfriend. 

It was quite a stressful thing to think about, so instead he tried to connect the stars and create some picture that doesn't remind him of the raven haired, golden eyed wonder that still has his heart beating faster.

"I had fun tonight," Niall says at his front door. Liam smiled at him at the cheesiness. 

"I had fun too." 

"Maybe we can do this again..sometime soon?" Liam made a face like he was thinking about it, earning a laugh from Niall. 

"I don't know, would have to check my sched-"
