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

XVII

Niall's P.O.V:

"Hey Ni." Liam's loud whisper awoke me.

"Hmmm?" I shuffled in his embrace and rubbed my eyes before opening them.

"You were crying." Liam said, frowning.

"W-Was I?" I asked, but I knew the answer as I felt fresh tears on my cheeks. I remembered the dream I had. Liam was all beaten up again, I tried running to him, and helping but I couldn't lift my feet off the ground. It was as if they were stuck and I couldn't move them. So all I could do is stand there, watching Liam crying in pain in the kitchen, as I stood there in tears of agony.

As soon as I recalled the nightmare, I began shaking.

"It's okay Ni. Whatever it was, you're okay now. You're safe, I'm safe and we're here together, okay?"

"Oh-Okay." I whispered.

He gently kissed the top of my head, and embraced me tighter, rubbing soothing circles into the skin on my back.

When I woke up again, it was morning. I turned, expecting Liam's warm body to be against mine, but the sofa was empty apart from my body.

"Li?" I asked in a hushed tone. "Liam?" I asked again, lifting myself off the couch and looking around. He wasn't anywhere in the living room or the kitchen.

I quickly got up from the bed, and searched around me. He was no where to be seen.

Where was he?

What if he went somewhere and would be hurt again?

I began rushing up the stairs when I heard a sound above me. I looked up rapidly, to see Liam at the top of the stairs, with damp hair and no shirt on.

"Li!" I ran up to him and hugged him.

"Are you alright, Ni? You look frightened." Liam said with a confused face as I pulled away.

"Yeah, I just-you weren't there-and I thought..."

"It's okay Ni, I was just having a shower!" Liam said, embracing me.

I kissed his cheek. "Good."

"Now why don't we go downstairs and have breakfast, hmm?"

"But there's no food..." I scratched the back of my neck and bit my bottom lip, pulling on it with my teeth.

Suddenly, Liam let out a noise. Was that...a moan?

His cheeks turned a light red as he clasped his hand over his mouth in shock. "Oh God, I'm sorry!" He said, ashamed.

"It's okay, Li. Completely fine with me." I winked and chuckled, acting smug all of a sudden. "That'll come in handy later." What is wrong with you, Niall?!

Liam looked at me with a surprised expression.

I felt ashamed and began to jog sown the stairs, when I felt a hand wrap around my wrist. I looked up behind me.

"What was that?" Liam asked.

"I-I don't know!"

"It's okay, I was just confused, because you're not sure about us, and all of a sudden-"

I cut him off with a kiss to his lips. They were just as warm and soft as I remembered, and I loved the feeling of them against my own again. As the kiss got longer, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and Liam put his around my waist, pulling me in closer. I pulled away slightly.

"I am very sure about us." I pointed out.

~A/N: Omf that was random. I just wanted to show that Niall is sure of his feelings, and another Niam kiss! It was our last day today, so no coursework, aka FREEDOM! For two weeks any way. Merry Christams! My notifications aren't working, so I can't tell when someone has updates or when you guys vote or comment, it sucks:( My friend got locked out today, and I was going to his, so we ended up sitting on his doorstep and screaming out the FRIENDS theme tune. ~
