Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 13)

Niall's POV

"I uh, I like you," Shawn said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yeah," Shawn said. "But it's okay if you don't feel the same. This might be too soon anyway. Gah, I'm an idiot!"

"Shawn," I said as he continued rambling.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to spring this on you. I seriously don't-" Shawn said.

"Shawn," I said, interrupting him.

He looked at me.

"It's fine. I like you too," I said.

Shawn continued to stare at me.

"I'm not saying we should become boyfriends but, it's just something to know," I said. "I think we should go on a few more dates and get to know each other more before becoming a couple, okay?"

"I totally agree," Shawn said.

"Anyway, now we know that we both have mutual feelings, let's get back to the song, alright?" I said.

"So, what was the first verse again?" Shawn asked.

"Crap, I forgot to write it down," I said. "Hang on, let me grab some paper from the back."

"Okay," Shawn said, watching me walk towards the back.

I found a pad of paper and grabbed it off a shelf.

"What are you doing back here?" James asked.

"Grabbing some paper and pen," I said. "I left mine at home and Shawn and I are writing a song."

"Sweet," James said. "What's it about?"

"You'll see when it comes out," I said, grabbing a pen off of a different shelf.

"Alright," James said.

"See you in a bit," I said, walking out of the back room.

"Happy writing," James said as I walked away.

I walked back to where Shawn was sitting. He turned to face me and I smiled at him, raising up the pen and paper.

"I'm back," I said.

"Great, let's get back to work," Shawn said.

"So, the first verse," I said.

"Wasn't it something about seeing something in paper dreams?" Shawn asked.

"I have seen, seen it all in paper dreams," I said, writing it down.

"What about verse two saying "watched it unfold on the screen"?" Shawn asked.

"What does this have to do with screens?" I asked.

Shawn shrugged. "I don't know, I guess it just sounds cool."

"If we find something else that has to do with screens, we can use that verse," I said.

"Alright, what about the chorus?" Shawn asked.

"Because the song is about love, why don't we say that the two are seeing love for the first time. Like they were blind at first before they found love," I said.

"So they're basically seeing blind?" Shawn asked.

"Seeing blind! That's brilliant!" I said.

Shawn looked at me as if I were crazy.

"The title of the song! Seeing Blind!" I said. "It's perfect."

"So, now we have the first verse and the name," Shawn said.

"And we have the chords we need for the background," I said.

"We might want to write those down though," Shawn said. "If we already forgot the first verse then we need to write down the chords so we don't forget those too."

"Good idea," I said, beginning to write the chords down.

As I was writing the chords down, Shawn checked his phone.

"Holy crap, it's already two-thirty," he said.

"So?" I asked.

"I have to get to the studio," Shawn said. "I'm writing a new album and I have to get to the studio to start recording the songs."

"Do you mind if I come too?" I asked.

"Would you be interested in coming?" Shawn asked.

"And hear you sing? Hell yeah!" I said.

Shawn smiled and shook his head. "Then let's put these away and head down to the studio."

"I'm all in," I said, getting up and putting my guitar away.

Shawn too stood up and put his guitar away.

"Do we want to drive separate or together?" I asked, curiously as Shawn and I walked out of the guitar shop after saying bye to James.

"We can take my Jeep," Shawn said, grabbing his keys out of his pocket and leading the way to a nice looking black Jeep.

"Nice car," I said.

"Thanks," Shawn said, unlocking his Jeep as we walked closer to it.
