Bromancin' (One Direction Short Stories)

He's Not Mine (Niam)

Niall's P.O.V

This was our biggest crowd yet I believe. 

I peered through the door to the stage and took a look at the thousands of fans that began to flow in. All I could hear besides the audience's chatter were my feet tapping against the polished black floor as a result of the nervousness I felt. Liam walked over to me as he adjusted his earpiece.

"You okay Nialler? You look stressed. Come, sit with me in the green room. You need to chill out." Liam said.

I didn't reply, but I followed him into the small room backstage anyways. 

"So, tell me what's bothering you." Liam said.

My hands made their way to my face and covered my eyes. There was NO WAY to explain the rush of anxiety I felt within me. The feeling wasn't entirely forgien, but this was an even bigger feeling than usual.

"I don't know Liam. This is huge. I'm just really nervous, I guess."

"It's okay. You'll be great. You always are." And then he pulled me in for a hug. Paul just had to ruin the moment by walking into the green room only seconds into the hug.

"Get ready. You're on in 30 seconds." Paul said.

Liam leaned in close to my ear. "I love how you sing, they love how you sing. Don't worry about it." And he began to walk away. His breath seemed to linger in my ear for a while and I felt paraylized, but I couldn't help but smile. 

Liam came back, noticing that I hadn't moved and grabbed my wrist. We made it and were with the rest of the boys right before we began to walk on stage. 

While we were on stage, I spotted several posters like "I love you Nialler!" or "We love our Irish God!" which boosted my confidence ten-fold. I had also spotted several "Niam" posters and I implied that Liam had too. He looked at me and winked which sent me into full blush mode. 

In no time we were filed in a straight line (I was next to Liam), waving at fans. The concert had come to an end in the blink of an eye. Liam's pinky intertwined with mine and I looked down. I thought my heart was about to burst!

"Niam! Niam! Niam!" The fans chanted.

Oi, you guys have no idea how much I wish it was all real. This "Niam" thing.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The crowd began to chant.

Liam shruggged his shoulders and looked at me, asking for my approval. We both leaned in until our lips made contact. His lips were dry and smooth. Probably from all the singing. Poor Liam was dehydrated. 

Anyways, the fans went BONKERS over the kiss! Inside, I was fangirling as well! It was the shortest kiss I have ever experienced, but it was the best. I wanted Liam Payne! Why couldn't I have him?!
