How to be a good lad [ ziall ] { on hold }

e l e v e n

The next morning I wasn't woken but a bucket of water.

"Niall..." I heard a soft voice "wake up, come on"

I opened up my eyes, Zayn shook me a little harder.

"Morning" I tiredly smiled

"Morning, now hold your breath"

"What wh-"

He dumped water over my head. Thankfully I'd seen the bucket coming so I held my breath but still gasped when I finished

"Sorry, I'd get in trouble if you came down dry"

"It's good" I wiped the water from my eyes and pushing back the hair from my face

"Let's go" Zayn said

I got down from my bed and stayed behind him as I was told to.

I was cold pretty quickly, and I stood shivering beside Louis

Zayn

"Horan, drop and give me seventy!" Josh yelled

He gaped and I knew I couldn't overrule Josh this time.

This morning he was in charge, every Thursday Josh took over and I stood and watched

"170 laps, now!"

And Niall was off running with everybody else again.

Josh and I sat on the grass to relax

"Niall's cute... Don't you think?" Josh asked

"Huh?"

"Not in that way" Josh said "I mean like… Baby faced"

"I guess"

"If I were gay I'd probably be attracted to him though."

I'm gay and attracted to him

"I'm gay" I reminded him

"Do you like him?"

"What do you mean?"

"You were straddling him yesterday morning and I just assumed it was like last time-"

"No, no way" I shook my head "I'd never just... Fuck Niall. I'm his Major, it'd be weird, besides, he has a boyfriend"

"He does?"

"I don't see why he wouldn't" I murmured "like you said... He's cute"

"What do you think of him them?"

"He's hot, but in an adorable way"

"Are you sure this isn't like last time?"

"Yeah"

"I won't report anything" Josh promised

"Okay, fine... I like him" I said "but only a little bit. He's still a little shit. But... He's a cute little shit"

"I thought I saw a soft spot with those push ups"

"He really is just a bag of skin and bones though"

"Agreed"

"Josh..."

"Yeah?"

"What would you do if you liked a junior?"

"I'd want to keep my status obviously" Josh said "and at first I'd play it safe but if I liked him enough... I guess I'd have sex with him if he agreed to it. If I fell in love with him?"

"I reckon I'd give it all up" the words left my mouth before I could take them back

He gasped "you love Niall?"

"No, what the fuck?" I asked "I can't love him, I barely even know him"

"You should look at his records"

I agreed, because I hadn't actually gone through them properly to find out how old he was anyway

"What if he's too young though?" The question came up "what if he's under 18 and he manages to leave here before he's legal?"

"You don't have to have sex with him"

"I know but... This boyfriend thing annoys me" I grumbled "he called Niall last night and I answered. Being the idiot I am I claimed that me and Niall were together..."

"What then?"

"I just hung up"

"So, have you actually done anything?"

I shook my head "I haven't made any moves"

"You haven't even tried to kiss him?"

"He has a boyfriend, Josh" I said quietly "I can't just kiss him. I know he'll tell me no. He knows Majors can lose respect for being with juniors or people below them, he just... He probably doesn't even think of me as a friend"

"Then get a boyfriend" Josh shrugged "just be nice to him so nobody suspects anything. And just offer a private friendship"

"But how do I do that?" I asked "the guys here who have a crush on me, seriously have a crush on me"

"I'll date you"

"Are you kidding?"

"I'm in a relationship already" Josh said "I've not got contact with her. She's not on my records either, nobody will know it's a fake"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive"

"Alright, let's do this properly" I smiled

"Show me what you've got"

"Josh, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Sure" he nodded

That was literally it. I just watched the scrawny juniors run, though my eyes stuck with Niall who was near the front

"I can have a crush when I have a boyfriend" I joked

"Totally"
