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

Niall

"Josh will you be my boyfriend?"

"Sure"

Hearing Major Zayn asked out Major Devine sent me tripping over my feet in shock as it sunk in that they were... Dating.

I face planted into the grass, almost everybody behind me trampled over me

Someone stepped on my shoulder and I yelled in pain, hearing a loud crack

The next thing I knew, Major Malik was running towards me with his boyfriend right behind

"Horan" he used my last name "what's wrong?"

"M-my shoulder"

"How are we on a scale of one to ten?" Major Devine asked

"Nine!" I cried out as he tried to re-position my arm

"Move" Major Malik said

Devine stepped back and Major Malik picked me up to my feet and then crouched down, wrapped my good arm over his shoulders and his hand around my upper back.

I half wanted a clichéd bridal style carry, though... I guess it was because he left his boyfriend to take the sore side of me.

Stubbornly, I faked that he hurt my arm when he tried to grab me

"I've got him" Zayn instantly said to Josh "stay here and keep taking the class"

Devine nodded and I was taken back to the infirmary to nurse Joy.

Zayn carried me into the back and helped me sit down on one of the beds.

He pressed gently on my shoulder though it hurt so much. I didn't want to scream but to be honest I was scared I'd broken something

Tears filled up my eyes as he searched for the tender spot I never yelled out at.

He tried the back, and the second his fingers even brushed that spot, I whimpered, tears dripping onto the pillow beneath me as they stream sideways down my face

"Can you move your hand?"

I could, I could also really painfully bend it

"I think it's just dislocated"

Like that's any better than a broken bone

He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his hand reached up and he smiled sympathetically, petting my blonde dyed hair

"You're pretty clumsy, aren't you Niall?"

"Yes sir"

I lay still as he continued to let me like an animal. But I liked it. He was with me and not with Major Devine who I was probably on trouble with for getting injured during his only day of the week and I'm pretty sure he knew I was faking it when he tried to help me as well

"Silly boy" his voice was gentle though his hand moved away "can't even move on your own two feet"

"You should see Harry, sir"

Zayn gave another soft smile, his hand rest on my chest

"You're okay, right?"

My shoulder hurt so damn much. But... I was so distracted by Major Malik and how kind he was being to me.

It was only us, so I thought that maybe he was being nice because he wasn't the Major in charge today, maybe he was just happy about having Major Devine as his boyfriend... Or maybe he really was just a nice guy
