Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik - the future best boyband ever. One day, they decided to have a walk near their hotel. They were enjoying their free time when they noticed a small figure near the lake. And the rest was his...
After putting on a sweater, I grabbed sweatpants and a warm hoodie, along with a towel and some socks. I hope the boy won't catch fever. He obediently let me change his wet clothes and dry him carefully. He looked tiny in my hoodie and sweats. He could easily hide in them. I grabbed Zayn's blanket and wrapped it tightly around him. His pale skin finally gained some color and this made me smile. I quickly took the hairdryer and dried his wet curls, chuckling at how he shut his eyes tightly and scrunched his nose because of the hot air.
I put his clothes in the laundry basket and sat down on my knees in front of him.
- Can we talk? - I asked him with an assuring smile.
He nodded. He didn't look so fearful anymore. He just looked like an average kid - one that wasn't left alone near a lake.
- As I said before, I'm Louis. Can you tell me your name?
He smiled a little and answered in a quiet and shy voice - the sweetest one I've ever heard.
- I'm Liam.
This made me grin at him. He was talking to me! Now he wasn't just the boy. He's Liam. Our Liam. Well, only mine yet. But not for long. Before I could control my hands I ruffled his curls. Fortunately, he liked it and smiled at me warmly. This kid is too cute!
I jumped off the floor energetically and sat down beside him.
- So, how old are you, Liam?
- Fourteen. - He answered with more confidence than a minute ago. He was warming up with me pretty quickly.
- Well, I'm twenty two. I.. well, not I. We sing. Me and the other guys are a band. - I told him enthusiastically.
- Really? Wow! - He exclaimed. Now I was really proud of our band!
With a relaxed sigh I leaned back to the headboard, trying to rest a little. After all it was only 6 in the morning and we haven't slept the whole night. I patted the spot near me, wanting him to take a rest too. He quickly moved closer to me and snuggled to my side.
- Aww, you're a cuddly one, aren't you? - I cooed, making him giggle shyly. Yay! I made him giggle! I'll definitely do this all the time to hear this adorable voice again and again. I wrapped my arms around his body and brought him closer to my chest.
- You wanna tell me what happened, Liam? You don't have to, but should I be worried? Is anyone waiting for you?
I could feel him tense and clutch on my sweater nervously.
- I don't want to talk about it. Please? - He looked up from my chest with hopeful eyes.
- Yeah, sure. I won't force you to tell me anything. I just need to know if everything is ok. - I assured him. He isn't a prisoner here.
- It is now. - He sighed and nuzzled his head under my chin.
- Ok. Now let's take a nap. It's too early. I'll wake you up when it's time for breakfast.
He pouted. Not working on me, little one! I guess it wasn't that easy to fall asleep when he was up all night. But he had to gain some energy. Where did this parental authority come from so suddenly? Usually I don't give an F about other people's wellbeing. Guess this is Liam's effect on me. Not that I'm complaining.
I pecked his button nose, causing him giggle again.
- I'll be here when you wake up. Now, come on, close those puppy eyes of yours and sleep. You need it. - I said softly and sternly at the same time.
He huffed and cuddled closer to my chest, drifting to sleep almost immediately. He must be really exhausted.
After thirty minutes of stroking his soft hair, I glanced at his peaceful and innocent face. His small fingers were barely noticeable under the big hoodie and he brought his hands closer to his cheeks, reminding me of a small child. His lips were slightly ajar and his eyelashes were moving subconsciously once in a while. I kissed his forehead slowly and closed my eyes, sleeping with the boy we found today tightly held in my arms.
I couldn't stop the warm feeling inside me. I remember I always wanted a baby brother when I was younger. And even if I have no relation with this Bambi-eyed boy, I know I'm gonna love and protect him like a big brother.
