perfection; pyrocynical (niall comas)

chapter seven

june woke up to a footsteps. it was about three in the morning, and it was all silent except for that. her idiotic mind went to a murderer, so she cowered under her blankets for a second. but when no murder was heard, she got up out of curiosity.

she opened the door to her room, and it made a horrid squeaking sound. she opened it even slower, stepping out. she caught a sight of blonde hair.

"niall." she whispered, and niall jumped out of his skin, dropping his phone onto the floor. he turned around to see her.

"june, you scared the shit out of me." he huffed. he grabbed his phone, stepping toward her. "what are you doing awake?"

"i could ask you the same question." june replied, looking up at him, gazing into those damn eyes that made her heart flutter.

"i'm going for a walk. i can't sleep. you can come with me, if you'd like." niall offered, looking back at her with a soft smile. she nodded, and grabbed the first pair of her sneakers that she found at the door, slipping them on and walking out of the door with him.

the first ten minutes of the walk were silent as they went, just enjoying how nice it was outside. it was pretty cold, but neither of them seemed to care. the pretty stars were fully covered by a dark mass of cloud.

"june?" niall asked suddenly, making her look up at him with a small 'hm?'

"when you called me hot yesterday... did you mean it?" he asked curiously, glancing over at her.

june thought about her answer for a moment.

"yeah, i meant it. you're quite the catch." she replied simply, shoving her hands in her pockets. the streets were silent, except the two of them and an occasional group of teenagers chatting loudly. niall nodded slowly.

one group of the teenagers were younger, and had no sense of being polite. they almost ran june over, pushing her into niall's direction. he caught her, making sure she didn't fall.

"it's past your fucking bedtime, children!" june yelled at them, though none of them were listening. her back was against niall's chest as she huffed. then she froze when she realized that they were like this. niall laughed nervously.

"are you alright?" he asked softly, his mouth close to her ear. she nodded slowly. niall helped her so she was standing by herself again. they faced each other, a small and nervous laugh coming from june when they were standing so close. niall looked into her eyes, and june swore her heart stopped.

they moved away from each other, continuing to walk in silence. it seemed they'd disregarded what just happened, but no. both of them were thinking heavily about it.

there was just one measly touch of electricity, of purity and a feeling that neither of them could describe.

just one touch.

🥀

the two made it back home at four, both of them saying their goodbyes, before actually going to bed.

june had good dreams, but between a thin wall, niall was in complete distress, unconsciously kicking and whimpering. nightmares infected his mind, trapping him in this unreal world of horror.

it was petrifying.

🥀

june woke up with a motivation. she cleaned around the house once again, showering and eating. jake came out of his room first, smiling at june and grabbing some food.

"hey, june, i was wondering if you wanted to... go out to dinner, maybe later today?" he asked, somewhat nervous. june thought about this.

she decided to give him a chance.

"sure, i'd love to." she replied with a smile. jake nodded, a bright happy smile on his face. alex and niall came out of their rooms, both of their hair everywhere. niall tried to fix the tangled mess, while alex simply left it a disaster.

"why the smile?" alex asked his blue haired friend with an eyebrow raised. jake looked over at him, wrapping an arm around june, which she laughed in response to.

"june and i are going out to dinner tonight." jake replied, running fingers through his hair with his free hand.

niall's face dropped, while alex nodded. "okay. by the way, you better treat her nice tonight, or i'll stab you in the chest." he responded.

niall stood there, looking down at his shoes. "i'm going out." he said simply. alex had a face of confusion.

"where?" alex asked.

"out."

then he was gone, hair still somewhat of a mess. the room was silent, everyone confused.

or pretending to be confused anyway.

alex knew exactly why this was. niall talked about june more than anything anymore. it was all niall ever talked about, and most likely what he thought of all of the time too.

niall liked june.

and june liked niall.

so he thought.

alex was confused, actually. but for a different reason for what the poor oblivious others in the room were.

"fuck." june said finally.

"yeah, fuck indeed." alex mumbled, grabbing his coat and running out of the house.
