#6: Always protect you - {Niam}

Liam's P.O.V.

"Shhhh....., Ni" i whispered tucking some hair behind his ear, for the third time. His hair was all messy from sleeping, and he woke up from a nightmare, so i was here soothing him. Truth be told, i had always taken a liking to Niall. Who wouldn't? He's so cute, small, sensible, creative, and a lot more sensitive than most guys in today's world. But it fits him, the irish cutie of One Direction. He does get away with everything he does though. Even though Harry's the youngest with Niall trailing behind him, Niall is the one that we feel most fraternal towards. He's so precious and that, that he needs or at least we feel he needs, a bit more protection from the rest of us. And i'm not gonna lie, he's so cute and vulnerable right now, i don't know what to do. I mean, i do know how to comfort someone, but since it's him, i don't know what to do. My mind and heart are racing, my words jumbling, and my hands almost shake, as i try to dismiss the color from my cheeks. He's so cute.

"Liam..." his tired and sleep covered voice filled my ears.
"Yes, Niall?" I replied, running my hands through his hair as he lie down, his head on my lap.
"Thank youuu..." he slurred, yawning. Aww, that was cute. I smiled and mumbled a, "You're welcome," before i picked him up, and tucked him in his bed. I walked towards the door as he turned over to his side, asleep. I smiled as the moonlight crept through the curtains, shining on his face and blankets surrounding him. "I'll always protect you." I mumbled, looking at his peaceful body lying sleepily under the covers, before i finally walked through the doorway to exit his room, as the door lie open. I shut his door behind me, looking down at the doorknob making sure i shut the door as slow and quietly as possible. I turned around and remained looking at the floor. I took a deep and quiet sigh, before i took a few steps forward, gaze still lying on the floor. "ogh." I bumped into someone.

I looked up to see Louis, Harry, and Zayn standing there. They were all looking at me. Zayn was smiling at almost a smirk. Harry was almost chuckling. And Louis was standing there, arms crossed, one hip out to the side, head cocked sideways, with a serious look on his face. Talk about sassy, sheesh. I froze, my lips parted as if there were something to say, but my words were frozen in my mind, my head spinning. Scenarios ran through my head subconsciously as i looked at all three of them.

"Um..." i finally managed to get out. Zayn's smirk grew, and opened his mouth to say something before Louis cut him off.
"You couldn't be any more obvious while being subtle." He sassily remarked.
"At least to us it's obvious." Harry added, shrugging his shoulders and putting his arm around Zayn's waist, pulling him closer. Zayn blushed a bit, looking at the floor. Well that changed real quick. Guess he was feeling submissive today, cute. They both were adorable together, at least to me.

"You like him, don't you?" Zayn stated, after a few moments of silence.

I chuckled and blushed while sighing, looking at the floor. Suddenly i became nervous, and my hand rubbed the back of my neck.

Zayn chuckled and smiled, "cute." Louis laughed lightly, joining in.
Harry just smiled and shook his head, "Young love."

"Well, what can i say?" I chuckled, looking up to meet their smiling faces and sparkling eyes, looking back at me.

*Not gonna lie i kinda like this one*
