In the clouds where the angels sing
In your eyes, where I wanna be
I need somebody to
Love me blue

"wot the hell 're ya doin' so early mornin', mate?" niall walked into the kitchen rubbing the sleepiness off his eyes.

"good morning to you too" zayn rolled eyes, mixing his coffee.

it's 7:00 am and it's zayn's first day at work. he just got this job as english teacher, a substitute one. but zayn's sure that he'll be a regular one soon since the old teacher kind of gave up the job.

"why do y'all wake up so early?" niall pouted.

"well, we have to work morning and afternoon unlike you" zayn stated, sipping the hot coffee.

"you're jealous of meh that i don't get to work till late mornin's, ain't ya?" niall scoffed.

"really, niall? definitely, your boyfriend and i are morning people. so, even though we don't work early, we wake early" zayn pointed out.

"yeah yeah. at least you could be silent" niall pouted sleepily.

zayn chuckled "sorry mate. i'll try my best next time"

"sorry babe. didn't mean to wake you" marcel kissed niall's cheek, watering dripping from his freshly washed hair.

"it's okiee" niall drawled.

"what shall we have for breakfast?" marcel asked.

"i'm having cereal. that's it for today" zayn shrugged putting his cup in the sink.

"i'll make us some toast and egg, is that okay?" marcel asked niall, who nodded nonchalantly.

"sleepy head" zayn ruffled niall's hair.

"are you nervous?" marcel asked zayn.

"umm...not really" zayn chuckled.

"if anything, zee will be buoyant, walking like the handsome-most teacher around" niall smirked.

"true. the kids might get a bit excited to attend your classes, considering our boring classes" marcel shook his head with a smile.

"hey, your classes ain't boring. i love to sneak into your tutoring classes during winter break" niall grinned as zayn nodded in agreement.

"thanks, honey" marcel pecked niall's lips.

zayn cooed at their adorableness. usually he'd feel like uneasy but he knows about niall and marcel's love. the best one he ever witnessed. he wishes it was the same between him and gigi, his girlfriend. but they are quite opposites. sure, opposites do attract. but he still wonders how. how does it work niall and marcel but not for him and gigi?

here's the story. niall is an out-going guy while marcel is keep-to-self guy. marcel steals the show with his charm while niall, well he just has to be himself to grab attention. marcel's not the nerdy student with straight a's. but he tops. niall cares about his studies. when the three idiots were in their sophomore year, stacey asked marcel out. she's one of those popular people. being a sweetie, marcel agreed. and they started dating. she was nice. niall didn't like the idea much since stacey basically snatched marcel away. one night, he caught stacey almost forcing marcel to have some drinks in a party. first, niall was waiting for a chance. second, he hates coercing marcel. third, one of her friends spilled some drink on marcel's dress who was already looking drunk. that's it. he barged his way towards them warning them to never get near him before carefully driving marcel home. marcel stayed silent for next few days and stacey didn't bother. it was hard to see marcel struggle but he always had niall and zayn. and at the end of their last year at school, niall appeared at marcel's door asking him a dance at prom. since then, they're inseparable.
