Liam made his way down a dimly little street on a moderately cool night. He looked around at the beautiful, tall buildings that compared to his own a few blocks back. He walked to and from home when he goes to work, deciding it'd be best to get a satisfying workout with a decent walk.

He never noticed many attractions and people who planted themselves on the calm streets of London. Liam did eventually lay his eyes on a particularly helpless yet gorgeous man who held up a sign in distress. Once he got a good enough look, he was instantly transfixed by the beauty that stood a few feet away.

“Niall Horan, hmm?”

“Y-Yeah! Been trying to get enough money for some food and people usually assist me, but it has been a bit dead tonight.” Niall's voice was scratchy, evidently dry to the point of him coughing for a few seconds. He needed urgent assistance now.

Liam takes his hand. “I'd be happy to help, no problem. You can stay in the guest room at my place and I'll give you food and drink to your pleasure.”

Niall's eyes have grown wide. “Y-You really mean that? I can really stay at your house?” He began smiling and almost tearing up at how generous this wealthy looking man was being.

Liam grinned. “Of course. Everyone deserves a home, love.”

Once they make it to his house, Liam settles Niall into the guest bedroom and shows him around before leading the dirty man into the connected bathroom. “You can shower while I make us some dinner. Take your time, I don't mind.” He receives a short nod before leaving Niall to his business in order to make his way into the kitchen down the short hallway that stored family, framed images on either side of the pale walls.

He never expected to find someone so beautiful yet helpless on a simple night like this. Nonetheless, Liam was glad to bring Niall into a safe place where he would actually survive. Undeniably, Liam instantly fell for him, in love to the point where he already could imagine their future together once Niall fully settles into his home and life with a fresh, happy mindset.

After Niall finished showering and Liam completed dinner, they met in the dining room where the two sat across from each other, stuffing their mouths in a hungry manner.

“So, I've been thinking about your position here, and I'd love it if you were to work for me in order to get a bit of pay that'll allow you to buy your own pleasures. How does that sound?”

Niall's eyes were a piercing blue hue, lids gaping open at how shocked he became with Liam's kindness. “Perfect! I'd love to get a job and buy my own stuff. Its been so long since I was able to treat myself to personal food, clothing, and trinkets. I can't thank you enough for your continuous kindness.”

Liam shakes his head, chuckling and gently placing his free hand upon Niall's. “No need to thank me. In return, I'd want to take you out on a date and hopefully have a good time then.”

Niall was beaming, smile growing wide and bright to the point of his heart beating faster, sweating profusely as he couldn't take in all of these new events in this lifestyle.

“I-I'd love to go on a date with you! Are you sure it isn't too soon to be doing such a drastic occasion, though?” Niall wanted to reassure himself and Liam that this would be a good idea since he believed that the suited man was constantly busy and piled with work to a point of not coming home some nights.
