Purity Ring // n.h. au

ten.

I woke to the blaring of an alarm clock and unfamiliar surroundings. I began to panic as I noticed the head of blonde hair next to me on the pillow and found myself in only a t-shirt. My heading was pounding from the screeching alarm clock and thinking that Niall and I could've done it, was making me want to puke.

"Oi, are you gonna shut that damn thing off?" Niall muttered sleepily, lifting his head off the pillow.

He looked so different from his usual self, his face was relaxed and his cheeks were dusted in a light red colour. His eyes wandered lazily over me and he smiled. I quickly reached over and slammed on the annoying device and it effectively shut off, "Niall," I began cautiously watching as he sat up, fixing his bed head. "We didn't do, you know, it last night? Right?" I choked out quietly, feeling my face heat up in pure embarrassment.

Niall chuckled and shook his head, "No babe. Like you would've let me anyways and besides you were drunk and I'd much rather have you fully conscious if we were gonna fuck."

I scowled and went to slap him but, he caught my wrist and pulled me closer to him, "Get off Niall." I complained as he pulled me towards him. "We need to get ready and I'm sure my mother is gonna kill me. I need to get home."

"Shh," Niall hushed me and pulled me into an awkward half hug. I squirmed away from his grip and he scowled. "Don't start being the old Finny. I want the Finn I knew from last night."

"What do you mean the Finn from last night?" I frowned and crossed my arms, feeling dread seep into my chest. I was honestly stupid to think that I acted perfectly normal whilst being intoxicated.

Niall smugly smiled and yanked the covers off his body, walking away from me. I tried my best not to stare, but Niall's toned stomach was a little too distracting. "Oh never mind and honestly babe, if you wanna take a picture, it'll last longer," Niall winked and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and effectively ruining my view of his muscles.

I sighed and proceeded to yank on my clothes from the night previous, I felt disgusting but the thought of my parents punishment made me dress quicker. "Niall?" I called towards the closed bathroom door and pulled my wrinkled t-shirt over my head.

Moments later the blonde entered and frowned, "Damn I wanted to see you get dressed."

"Just shut the fuck up and get ready," I rolled my eyes and shoved past him. I looked awful, my hair was stuck out in various places, my makeup smudged, and my breath probably reeked. I quickly squeezed toothpaste onto my finger and attempted to brush my teeth, after all anything was better than nothing. After I wiped off the smudged excuse I had to call makeup I tied up my hair and exited the small bathroom.

"Ready?" Niall quirked an eyebrow and I had no idea how he looked so good in just sweats and a plain shirt. His hair wasn't styled and lay limp on his forehead. Before Niall could comment on my stare I averted my gaze and nodded. Niall offered me a smirk and lead the way out of his room and towards downstairs. "You want something to eat?"

"Niall I really don't want to be grounded any longer than I'm already going to be, if we could really hurry up, that would be great," I gave a sarcastic smile and exited the small house and slammed the door. I huffed and yanked on the car door repeatedly, of course it had to be fucking locked.

Niall stood on the porch laughing as I continually pulled on the door handle, "Why the fuck are you laughing? Do you not understand the kind of shit I'm going to be in? This isn't funny!" I yelled and kicked the door.

"Because seeing you get all flustered is adorable and if you kick my car again, I'll kick your ass," Niall smugly smiled and jogged towards the car. I rolled my eyes and kicked the car again, there was no way Niall would actually kick my ass.

Niall approached me and I frowned, "Niall are we gonna go-"

He shoved me against the car and I gasped. I was trapped between the car and Niall's body that was much too close. "Now baby what did I just say?"

The words in my throat dried up and I stood motionless, my head spinning at our proximity. Niall placed his hands on either side and raised an eyebrow, "C'mon I know you've got a mouth on you, use it."

"You said you would kick my ass," I whispered, feeling Niall's breath on my face. Niall smiled slightly at my words and leaned closer towards me, something I thought wasn't possible.

"I did say that, but I'm thinking I'll just have to spank your cute little ass instead," Niall whispered equally as low.

"Niall we need to get to school."

"So are you preferring I spank you in front of everyone?" Niall questioned, his infamous smirk plastered on his pale pink lips. I rolled my eyes and pushed him.

"Why are you such an annoying bastard?" I scowled and crossed my arms, creating more space between us. Niall laughed and walked around towards his side of the car, unlocking the doors.

"Because you love it," Niall smirked and stepped inside the car. I only scoffed and followed his actions, soon joining him in the enclosed space. "Now are we going to your house or to school?"

"Hmm," I hadn't exactly thought that one through. School had already started so my parents already knew I wasn't home. I was screwed either way. "Let's just go to school. Even though I don't have a backpack or anything."

Niall shrugged and started the car, peeling out of his driveway in a brisk fashion. We spent the car ride in silence and I was more than happy with that. I was so confused with my feelings, one minute I hated the blonde boy and the next I was practically drooling over him. Niall was an endless torrent of innuendos and always seemed to have a different meaning behind whatever he said.

"Niall can we just be friends?" I asked quietly, interrupting the silence that hung in the air. Niall gave me an odd look and shrugged.

"Isn't that all we are? I mean you act like you hate me but deep down you don't. I've already figured out you won't have sex with me for whatever reason. Finn I'm not stupid," Niall laughed quietly and shook his head. "If you want to be friends then that's fine, but just because we're friends doesn't mean I won't stop hitting on you or making inappropriate comments."

I laughed because at least Niall was honest, "Good and I might have to just kick you in the balls to stop your annoying habit."

Niall pulled into the school parking lot and rolled his eyes. Soon enough we were parked and had exited the car, "So I'll see you around friend." I stuck out a hand awkwardly and wanted to smack myself. Why did I always seem to ruin things?

"Finn don't make this weird," Niall laughed and I shrugged. I began to walk away but Niall whined, "C'mon your number one friend doesn't get a hug?"

"No. Sorry but I only hug my closest friends," I smiled sarcastically and walked away from the blonde. I sighed in relief as reached the front doors to the school, I was back in a familiar place at least. It didn't mean I was out of trouble, no, the trouble that I was in hadn't even began.
