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

XXXVII *the end*

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

Niall's P.O.V:

"Are you okay?"

"What?" Liam asked with a confused expression.

"You've...You've been looking at my wrist a lot." I admitted, feeling a forwn crawl onto my face.

It was true. Liam had been stealing glances at my covered wrist ever since we returned from those dreadful few days in London. He seemed distant, and words didn't come to him as easily as they used to. I knew that, after losing his dad, he would inevitably be dismal, yet I couldn't help but feel that this was something more. I knew it.

A sigh slipped through Liam's lips. "I'm just...curious, that's all."

I shuffled from his embrace and moved, sitting cross legged opposite him on his bed.

"You've been acting strange recently, and I know it's not about your dad. That was different."

Liam's eyes moved down to his lap."I've just been thinking."

"About?"

"About us-"

"What about us?" I asked, knitting my eyebrows together.

"You know-"

"No, I don't." I shook my head in disagreement.

"About your rose!"

Silence.

It lingered in the air, swallowing us whole. The obvious conclusion lay above us, towering over our bodies.

"Right." I sighed. "Well. Let's get it over and done with." A sudden wave of anxiousness waved through me as I yanked my sleeve up, before Liam topped my hand with his.

I looked up at him in confusion.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

A nod. "I love you. I know that. Nothing can tell me otherwise. Even if... Even if we're not supposed to be...I'll always love you, no matter what. But I know that if I uncover it, it would make you happy, and as long as you're happy, so am I." I smiled and slipped a soft kiss on his cheek.

He grinned back, his beautiful brown eyes glinting now. "C-Can I do it?"

I nodded my head before he softly wrapped his fingers around my wrist. Gently, he removed each bracelet one by one, placing them beside me.

I suddenly took what was happening into account. After all these years, someone managed to break down my walls. But it wasn't a sign of weakness, I realized. It was a sign of love, a strong unfathomable love I had for a certain brunette boy. My heart skipped whenever blue met brown, and lips felt alight with every kiss.

I felt Liam's fingers at the middle of my wrist, and realized that I had screwed my eyes shut.

Opening them, I looked down at my left wrist.

Nothing.

There was nothing at all painted on my pale flesh. Not a rose, not the seed I had before. The only thing was a small white scar that was placed where the visibility of my veins ended.

"What?" I whispered. "How is that possible?" My voice broke, fading into the silence of the room.

"I-I don't know-"

"What so I-I don't have a soul mate?"

"Ni please don't say that." A shake of the head.

"Well there's no other way of explaining it." I choked back a sob, like a stone in my throat. "I swear I didn't mean for any of this to happen. If only I had been normal like everyone else and-" Tears flooded my eyes, streaming down my face. I felt armswrap around me.

"Sshh, Ni. It's okay. We'll be okay." His soothing voice was all I heard before falling into a heavy sleep.

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

"Niall. Ni, wake up."

I rubbed my sleep-heavy eyes, and fully opened them.

"Ni, look." Liam said, pointing to his left wrist. There was now two red rose flowers blossoming from one stalk on Liam's wrist.

"It's you, Li."

"What?"

"You're my rose."
