to find you « niam

«chapter two»

Liam thought the story over. "What is there to do?" He asked softly. "The only thing I can think of is fall in love. But with whom?" Eros smiled gently at him.

"There are billions of people in your world. Surely you can find a partner out there somewhere." He tried not to wince at his own words. Niall knew that maybe, just maybe, he was beginning to fall in love with Ares. Love falling in love.

"That could take years, Eros. I don't want to wait years. I want to return to Olympus now!" Ares whined like a small child. He wasn't really sure in his own mind why he wanted to return to Olympus so badly, but he did. Maybe it was the thrill of being in a godly place. Maybe it was something else.

"You are forgetting that you are in the presence of the god of love, my dear. I could easily help you find someone to love," Eros pointed out, even as it pained him to do so. He wanted Ares to fall in love with him, no one else.

"I don't want to fall in love with anyone right now. I want to enjoy being twenty and live my life," Liam complained. He really didn't want to tell golden boy what he was really thinking. Liam had always wanted to fall in love. He wanted to live his life, sure. But living his life with someone by his side sounded really nice.

"Love is nice, when you have a proper love story. That was my gift to you. Your first love would be your final, and it would have only small complications," Eros smiled softly, his hair shining in the sun. "It is time for you to wake up, my Ares. I will see you tonight. Enjoy your world."

As Niall disappeared and Liam awoke, he made one goal for himself. Seduce Eros.

When Liam woke, there was only one thought in his head. How do you seduce the god of love? Or rather, how do you make him fall in love with you?

So he decided to ask Zayn. Zayn had had plenty of experience with love. Or he had had plenty of experience making people fall in love with him. Liam remembers that day in the coffee shop Zayn dropped his food all over Perrie. She was furious with him, yelling that she had to get to the recording studio and now she was a mess and had to go home and change. Zayn begged and begged for her to at least allow him to drive her home, but she refused.

It had only been a week later when Zayn saw Perrie again, but this time, she dropped her steaming hot coffee on him. Liam remembers Zayn's little shriek as it burned his skin, and Perrie's profuse apologizing until she realized who it was. She smirked a bit until she realized that it was actually burning Zayn, and then she began trying to drive him to the hospital. Zayn promised he was okay, and he told Perrie that he would forgive her as long as she gave him her name and her phone number.

(Zayn later made Liam drive him to the hospital, but he would never tell anyone that.)

Zayn had quite the struggle trying to make Perrie fall in love with him. She was a hard-headed popstar that really didn't need a boyfriend at the time, but Zayn convinced her. He convinced her that if she and her bandmates were up in the music business, they needed someone there for them. Over the past year, Zayn had become Little Mix's backbone. He helped them all through the hate and escourted them places. It looked as if he was dating all of them, but he only had eyes for Perrie.

Liam admired him for that, really. And now he needed his friend's help.

"How do you make someone fall in love with you?" Liam blurted over breakfast. Zayn hadn't really been paying attention. He had chosen to text Perrie and sip on his coffee rather than listen to what Liam was rambling on about.

"What?" Zayn screeched, choking on his coffee. "Who are you trying to make fall in love with you? That boy that you fell on the other day?"

Liam flushed but managed to murmur a small yes.

"Try flowers and a date to start out with. And you might need his phone number, but you two already look pretty friendly. Just take it slow. flowers, a proposal for a date, a small kiss on the cheek. Take him somewhere not too fancy, but not quite a dump. He already looked pretty interested in you, Leemo. You probably won't have to struggle that much." Zayn smiled as he popped another french toast bite in his mouth.

"Flowers and a date. I can do that." Liam grinned. "Thank you, Zayn."

"What's to thank me for, Leemo? You helped me with Perrie, I'll help you with-what's his name?" Zayn put down his phone and looked up at Liam, lacing his hands under his chin and cocking his head with interest.

"Niall." Liam praised himself for remembering Eros' "mortal" name. "His name is Niall."

"Right. You helped me with Perrie, I'll help you with Niall. Now, why don't we pick out a place for your lovely date?"

Niall sat on his bed in his newly rented flat. He was currently trying to conjure up enough mist for an Iris Message. He needed two, one to talk to Zeus, and one to talk to his mother. Deciding that Zeus was probably more important at this second, that's who he decided to speak to first.

"Lord Zeus," Eros greeted softly.

"Ah, Eros! To what do I owe this honor?" Zeus smiled softly. He was in higher spirits today, he noticed.

"I've located him, my lord. The only trouble now is getting him to fall in love."

"He cannot fall in love with a mortal, Eros. You know that," Zeus chided. Niall hung his head in defeat.

"You are right; I do know that. But the only other person for him to fall in love with is me and I thought-" Eros was quickly interuppted as Zeus raised a finger.

"You thought I wouldn't allow you to fall in love with my son? He can fall in love with you, you can fall in love with him. I have no control over love, Eros. That is your domain. Now off you go; you need to talk to your mother."

"I'll bring him back as soon as possible," Eros promised before Zeus disappeared.
