Teratoid (One Direction FanFic)*ON HOLD*

Pain

*Liam's POV*

Louis was outside replacing the tire on his car. Don't ask me why he didn't just get someone else to do it. It's not like he couldn't afford to. I could hear him cursing from my flat and I ran down to help him.

"What's wrong Lou?"I asked shoving my hands in my pockets.

"I can't find the jack."He muttered.

"Well let me help you with that."I slid under the car on my back and put my palms on the fender.

"Li, what are you doing?"Louis asked putting his hands on his hips.

"I'm helping."

"You're going to hurt yourself."

"Just trust me Louis."He backed down at my slightly annoyed tone and I smiled in a satisfactory way. I straightened my elbows pushing the car up. It wasn't hard, it was actually quite easy.

"Thanks Li, wow you're strong."I chuckled to myself and hoisted the car up farther.

"Just change the tire Louis I don't want any paps walking by and seeing me under a car lifting it with nothing but the strength of my two arms."He nodded and quickly did what he had to.

"I'm done Li you can drop the car now."I lowered it gently to the ground shuffling out from under it."Good show."He stuck out his hand and I shook it but I gripped it a little too hard.

"Ouch Li."Lou's said rubbing his hand and I grimaced.

"I'm still getting a handle on controlling the amount of pressure I use, sorry Lou."He shook his head.

"I'm fine, I understand."He said pulling his scarf away from his neck. I caught a glimpse of his gills and gently pressed his scarf against his neck again looking around frantically for paps. I heard a sputtering choking noise coming from Louis and I turned to see him red in the face. He clawed at my hand pressing against his neck.
