You're My Rose (Niam Soulmate AU) (Boyxboy)

IV

Niall's P.O.V:

"Hi." Liam greeted me.

"Hi."

"How are you, Ni?" Liam asked cheerfully, with a bouncy step.

"I'm okay. What's got you all cheery?"

"Oh nothing, nothing." He smiled.

"Okay..."

Liam sighed happily.

"What a great day."

"Liam, it's freezing and about to rain. We have double maths and science. Please enlighten me on how this day is 'great'." I knitted by eyebrows together.

"Have you not seen?" He frowned and his eyes inched down to my left arm. "Oh."

I crossed my arms in insecurity.

"Wh-Why are you looking at my arm like that?"

"J-just. Nothing." He sighed, obviously frustrated.

We stayed silent for the rest of the journey to school. Liam constantly had a thoughtful expression, as if trying to figure something out. I hoped it didn't have anything to do with me, but secretly, I kind of knew it did. Why else would his whole mood change in the matter of a few seconds?

"Liam?"

"Yeah?" Liam brought his head up suddenly.

"You're going the wrong way? We have maths now." I said, pointing towards the math halls to our right, away from where Liam was walking.

"Oh. Right. Yeah, sorry." He replied as we began to make our way to math class.

*****************

The rest of the day was no different: Liam was always distracted, and his expression was a mix between sadness and confusion. Nobody questioned him, but when Harry did, Liam said he was fine. Well he obviously wasn't 'fine'. And by the end of the day, I was worried and sick of the fact that I could have caused this.

We were about to part ways, seeing as his house was opposite mine, when I finally decided I had to know why Liam was being like this.

"Liam, what happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"For the whole day, you've been off in your own world, not speaking or anyth-"

"Why?" Liam asked.

"Why what?"

"Why do you cover it?"

~A/N: VERY short chapter, but I found a good finishing point, and I promise the next one will be longer :) I finally got the WWA DVD, and I love it! But in the extra 'Road to San Siro' bit, Ben fricking Winston had to talk :( I just saw him and I was like 'ugh leave!'. But apart from that, it's beautiful and I realized even more how amazing directioners are :) ~
