As you grew older with Niall he noticed that something was off about you; it wasn't bad necessarily but more so different. After he introduced you to the boys for the first time it finally started clicking. Maybe you weren't attracted to boys. He thought about it and he realized that you hardly ever mentioned any guys. Usually most of the other boy's sisters went a little crazy after meeting them for the first time; not you though. Once you left you got in the car and got on your phone as if you were driving back home from after running to the Tesco. He knew that you were somewhat of a fan so this was a bit odd.
"So" Niall said as he drove back to the house, "What did you think of the boys [Y/N]?"
You looked up from your phone "Oh um they're great, Lou's really funny" you said trying to ward off any suspicions Niall might have.
"Does my little sister have a crush?" Niall asked as he raised his eye brows.
"Hey stop that I'm not little I'm fifteen practically an adult" (reminder it's different in Europe that in America) you said lightly punching his arm, "and maybe I do maybe I don't".
Niall smiled slightly and decided that he'd just let it be and wait to see if his assumption was true. He didn't want you to make you feel pressured into telling him anything that you weren't ready to.
Over the next couple of weeks Niall kept noticed how your behavior was changing. You were always on your phone; not just that but he'd randomly find you smiling down at your phone. After eating dinner you'd go up to your room and stay there until the next day. He also noticed that on the weekends you went out a little more than usual. You usually posted pictures with all your friends when you went somewhere but he had only seen one or two pictures and that left many trips out unaccounted for. He knew what was happening; you were seeing someone.
One night it got to you, the secret that you were keeping from Niall. You knew you had to tell him. You knocked at his door "Ugh come in" Niall said slowly as he woke up. You slowly opened the door and walked into his room. He turned on his lamp and rubbed his eyes. "I'm hoping that this is serious after all its" he said pausing to get the time from his alarm clock, "1:30 in the morning".
"It is" you said sniffling taking a seat at the end of his bed.
Niall looked closer at you and noticed that you had been crying. "Oh 'm sorry love I didn't see that you've been cryin' come 're" he said with his Irish accent thicker than yours as he was still waking up. He moved your body so that your head was lying on his chest.
After a few moments you finally told him "I like Darcy" your checks grew from ivory into a bright shade of red. Niall knew who Darcy was; she was a relatively close friend. She wasn't in your group of close friends but, lately you talked about her a little as she started to hang out with your group.
"Oh" Niall responded, "well does she not like you back?"
"No it's mutual" you mumbled back your response into his chest.
"Then what's the problem?" Niall asked as he brought your face up to meet his. His face was contorted his eye brows furred together with confusion.
"Our family what if they don't accept me? Do you even accept me?" you asked before bursting into tears.
"Shh love, shh it's okay it's all okay I promise and yes of course I accept you. I love you no matter what." Niall said comforting you as his fingers ran through your messy hair and rocked you from side to side. After a few minutes you finally calmed down Niall broke the silence. "Um I know that this might be too much right now but I need to ask" he paused for a second hesitating, "Am I accepting the fact that you're lesbian or bisexual?" You giggled a bit at how he posed the question, like he hoped you would.
You lifted your head up so you could see his face "um well I'm bi but I have more of a preference over boys but um yeah Darcy's cool".
"I see" Niall said nodding, "and thats perfectly fine."
"Really?" you asked a little surprised.
"Sure I mean I don't care which gender you date as long as they love and care about you that's all you need. As long as they treat you right they'll get approval from me." Niall said rubbing small circles on your back in order to soothe you.
"Thanks Ni" you said quietly as you buried yourself into his chest.
He let you rest on his chest for a few minutes so you could relax. He then moved your face so that you were looking into each other eyes "don't thank me, we're blood and I'll always love you. I'm sure the whole family will accept you and love Darcy. I mean it may take some time for them to get use to the idea but it'll happen eventually."
"Really?" you asked a bit surprised. You knew how conservative some of your family members were.
"Really, I mean remember when we were debating our options for my schooling when I got to the live shows? When I just quit instead of finishing early or finding some other option? Mum was a bit disappointed but she was okay because I was following my dreams and this is kind of like the same thing I mean she shouldn't be disappointed in you for" Niall said before being cut off by you.
"I think I understand what you're saying" you said giggling.
"Good Niall" said, "Now can we go to sleep [Y/N]?"
"Sure" you said letting out a yawn. Niall turned off his lamp and let you curl into his chest. After a few moments you got the nerve to ask him a question "Are you sure you'd feel the same about me if I was les?" It was a question that had been plaguing you since you had come out to him. You thought that it was better to discuss it now rather than bring up the whole situation later.
"That's a stupid question" Niall stated, "of course I'd still love you". He increased his grip on you "of course I'd still love you". He rocked you slightly from side to side until you fell asleep.
Three days later and Darcy came to your house to meet Niall. "So I hear you and [Y/N] are dating?" Niall asked as you brought Darcy into the living room. Both of your cheeks turned bright red with embarrassment..
"Um well that's how girlfriends work" Darcy replied softly.
Niall almost spit out the water he had just drank. He let out a hearty laugh "I think I'm going to like her [Y/N]" Niall said.
Niall stayed down stairs and talked with the two of you for about 30 minutes then left you two alone to watch TV.
After Darcy left you went into Niall's room. His door was cracked half way so you opened it more and leaned against his door frame. "Spying on us?" you asked.
"I have to make sure that no funny business is happening inside my house" he said smiling.
You walked over to where he was on sitting cross legged on his bed. You sat next to him on his bed copying the way he was sitting. "Thanks for being cool with this all and making it only like the normal embarrassing bring home your partner to meet your sibling type of things. I mean I know it must feel a litt-".
Niall cut you off "well it's my job as a brother to be accepting but I guess you're welcome and to be honest it wasn't really awkward" he paused for a second, "okay that might have been a slight lie but remember I've only ever thought of you bring a guy home. Still I hope it wasn't too awkward and I hope that Darcy and you felt comfortable. I'm happy that you two have each other."
"Yeah we felt comfortable thanks Ni" you said hugging him.
You were happy to have one member of the family supporting you. One by one you told your family members. Most were accepting right away but some weren't at first. They wouldn't let that affect your relationship with them though. In all the entire family came around to accepting you. Now Darcy comes to all the family events and fits in like your brothers and cousins partners that they bring to family functions.
