Reality Check UNDER EDIT

5. Awkward Interactions

Niall's POV:

I wasn't going to let this phase me. I mean sure, I had Zayn stay over last night but no one needs to know  about that. I wasn't going to let what he did to me have any sort of affect on me at all. The question still lingered in my mind: why did he do it? Which  is still freaking me out to be quite honest. Thank God today is the last day of school for a while. Maybe that will separate Zayn and I enough for me to get my thoughts straight. Or maybe I need to confront him as well? All of these intriguing thoughts are making my head spin. And in not a good way. 

~~~

School went by unexpectedly smooth until I was walking home and saw Zayn. See I was doing an exceptionable great job at avoiding him but this the real world, and nothing works out the way you want it to. I walked right past him and saw it. And that's probably why I ran straight home. The look on his face was priceless to say the least. I have never seen him so nervous, shocked and scared all in the same time. Seeing as I don't know Zayn at all, I guess the arse deserved it.

The run home gave me more time to think things through. As soon as got home, I asked permission from parents if I could to the book to get some extra football practice in. At least that is what I told them instead of the real reason. 

When I finally arrived to the park, I sat down against a tree. Comical aspect is, this is the exact tree I saw Zayn drawing at the first time I 'ran into' him as he would call it. I took some of his words in perspective. Noticing the scenery and all it's beauty. It was quite something I never tended to look at or notice. The marvelous trees and the simple quality of a wild flower. The world was full of numerous amounts of life in different shapes and forms. That got me really thinking. We only have this life and you can't let your past discourage what the future holds. And just like that I believe I have my answer. Or more of a strategy of what I was going to do. 

Knowing life and all of its wonders, I was hit with the ironic surprise of being run into by, guess who, Zayn. Oh, he didn't know what was coming at him. He better hope he has some sort of explanation or reason behind his extraneous actions or else. Now I am not one to fight but anything it worse it wen you take risks isn't it?

"Sorry mate, didn't see you-" Zayn suddenly spoke when he composed himself and got up. I found it quite hilarious his facial expression. Priceless. But mystery is, why was his so nervous and scared? "Niall..shit..I...I..umm.." 

"You've got some explaining to do Malik" I seethed through my teeth. I wasn't going to get emotional this time. No not now. I'm going to show him who I can be and get my point across. 

Zayn's POV: 

No, no I needed more time. I wasn't the type of guy to think at all. Hell I didn't give a rats ass what others thought or felt. But Niall of course seemed to slip in and ruin all of that. What was this Irish bloke doing here in MY favorite sanctuary? He looked really confident but then I saw it. Peeking out and he didn't even notice mine. 

"Look Niall, you've got this whole mix up totally wrong mate. And I am guessing you don't remember any of it so I am going to explain and we are going to talk about, alright? I am not taking a no for answer on the second part Horan."

"Whatever you have to say better be good or else" I sort of chuckled at Niall's threat which did not help the situation and I had to start explaining now before he got the idea that this whole thing was some sick joke. 

"The other night when we both fell asleep cuddling, something weird happened from you. We were both asleep but you started saying coherent words and I thought I was still dreaming or hearing things so I ignored it. At least until you started hugging me or cuddling me closer" At this point Niall's face dropped completely and he look terrified. Maybe terrified wasn't the word but vulnerable was more like it. I decided to continue before he could speak and ruin it.

"That's when I woke up more and started noticing you were actually talking in your sleep. You were mumbling weird sentences for example 'Zayn, don't go' and 'Kiss me again'. That's when I started to get creeped cause I mean what the hell mate? I thought you lost it at that point but then you went over board. Hell I can't believe it happened but you grabbed me by my shoulders and kissed me. Roughly might I add. And you wouldn't stop. I wasn't kissing you back because lets face it, I didn't know what the hell was going on!! But then you stopped and started to whimper out small 'please's' and I felt something so I kissed you back. I thought it was just going to be a simple kiss. Nothing meant by it but it continued and thought you woken up by then. By the look of your face, you had no idea was going on. Anyway's the kisses led further and further. We were both kissing down each others necks and eventually it led to what we both have on our collarbones. The cliché love bite. And then with one final peck you fell back asleep. And that's why I left. You made my head spin and I needed to get out there. I didn't know what to think! I mean, I am not gay!" And with one final breathe released I was done and NIall was speechless...

Niall's POV: 

I really did it this time, didn't I? Those god for saken dreams! I couldn't escape them even when I tried. I didn't know what to say but I needed to figure it out. I mean I was gay was I? No I couldn't be. Oh but did I have feelings. And right about now, the were over whelming and things were getting pretty awkward. Zayn and I were both standing both staring and obviously contemplating the next move but I knew I had to speak. I needed to do something. 

"W-why didn't you stop me..?" I needed a answer from him. 

"Look I cannot explain to you what I felt. Fuck Niall, I'm scared. I have never felt this way towards a mate and let me tell you it is terrifying. I wanted to kiss you back so I did."

"So what you're implying is, you have feelings for me?" I sounded frightened at the thought with my voice so minimal. 

"I..why are asking me all these damn questions anyways? Didn't you hear me? I just admitted I felt something for fucks sake" 

"I just..I don't know. Look I would be lying if I said I didn't feel something as well. I mean I've had fucking dreams about you mate! I don't know what to think!"

"Well that makes two of us..the dreams I mean. I don't know what this means for either of is but I am willing to talk about it if you are."

"Yeah, I would, um, like that. My place?" 

"Yeah, we better get going..we have a lot to talk about." And with that, Zayn and I both walked back to my house in a comfortable silence.
