It had been a week since Niall told the boys. He was nervous that they would treat him differently because of his sexuality. Niall new the boys would accept him, they were his closest mates. But of course there was always that doubt that worried him. He was glad they didn't ask too many questions. Niall smiled at the thought as he walked to his shared flat.

Back at his flat the other boys were a mess. They distraught over the thought of Niall liking one of them. They were Niall's best mates, but that would be so awkward.

See the boys thought Niall wouldn't have figured he was gay if he didn't have to have a crush on. Of course the boys assumed that Niall had to like one of them.

I don't see what the problem is if he likes me. Harry shrugged to himself pretending to be panicked so the other boys don't question him.

"I mean he can't like all three of us because Niall isn't that type of guy. So we have to see which one we he likes." Liam spoke up, his hand at the back of his neck.

"I think it might be Harry." Liam, again, spoke up.

As soon as the words left Liam's mouth, Harry's head snapped gaping.

"Um no. We're best mates tosser!" Harry scoffed.

"Yeah, he's probably right. Perhaps it's Zayn. I mean you two do get close and don't forget last month you two had a drunk make out session." Liam smirked and Zayn blushed.

"You think so? You think he likes me?" Zayn shyly asked.

Harry had to restrain himself from rolling his eyes at the thought. He was annoyed that he didn't just agree with the boys saying that Niall might bee crushing on him. He really wanted Niall too. Damn so possessive.

Just as Harry was about to protest the Irish lad they were talking about came in with a smile.

"Afternoon boys!" He chucked himself next to Zayn and at the movement, Zayn blushed harder.

Oh hell no. You can't just fucking like him because he like you now you twat-

"Harry!" Liam yelled furrowing his brow. He was annoyed that he was speaking about something and he Harry was just there daydreaming.

Typical.

"Sorry. Go on."

"As I was saying," Liam hesitantly took Harry out of his sight and looked back to Niall." Mate we need to ask you a question, like it's important."

Niall nodded as he started to get worried. The boys only spoke like this if something was wrong.

"We know that you're gay, as you told us, and we accept it! Just um, are any of us the reason you became gay?" Liam asked awkwardly gesturing his hand towards him and the other boys.

Niall had no expression on his face until two seconds later he bursted out laughing, "I-I cant' believe you actually t-think I like one of you!" He pulled his head back on the couch before slowing down his laughter. "No offense." Liam sighed of relief while Harry was annoyed that it wasn't him he was crushing on, but happy it wasn't Zayn either. Zayn just flushed even more.

"Then who was it?" Harry asked.

Immediately Niall blushed crimson red head-to-toe. "Uh-uh. It was um..."

"Just spit it out Ni!" Harry slightly yelled. Liam glared at Harry while Zayn just stayed quiet.

Niall just focused on his shoes like it was the most important thing in the world. "Professor Tomlinson..." He mumbled. Immediately he heard all three gasps, he was too scared to look up,

"W-what?" Zayn whimpered.

"It's not like that! I mean it is, but he's only like a year and a half older than me and-"

"When did this start?" Harry harshly asked.

Niall winced at Harry's hard tone.

"Um well when he first started teaching class I thought he was cute, but then he started helping me with work and stuff and then we," he took a deep breath in, "then we kissed." He looked finally to see the boys gaping at him. Harry stood up and paced around the room before he spoke up.

"I'm your best mate Niall and you didn't bother to tell me?!" Niall had tears forming in his eyes now while the other boys didn't help comfort him.

"I-I'm sorry"

"When were you going to tell us Niall?" Harry shouted.

Just as Niall was about to speak the doorbell ringed.

Harry opened up the door to find Professor Tomlinson holding a wrapped up present.

"Hello boys! Niall invited me for dinner so I can get to know you boys!" He smiled.

Harry looked at Niall, while Niall just burried his face in his hands. Zayn fisted him hair as Liam was just frozen.

Shits going down.
