Niall's whisper hung in the air for a few minutes before Liam answered him.

"You love me?" Liam whispered back. His cheeks were flushed.

Niall did nothing but nod. He looked ashamed that his words had come out. Liam wanted to grab his face and kiss the saddness off his face.

Liam stared at Niall for another few minutes. "How do you know?" He finally asked. Niall shrugged his shoulders.

"Liam, I've been a fan of you for the past three years. You've always been my favorite. It didn't take me very long to figure out I loved you. Seeing you here in front of me, it just makes things a hundred times more intense." Niall was looking down at his lap as he spoke. He didn't want to meet Liam's eyes.

Liam lifted Niall's chin up from his lap. "Please let me see your eyes," Liam said softly.

Niall looked up at him with sad eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it all to just fall out like that," Niall whispered. "Are you mad at me?"

Liam didn't notice that he was slowly leaning closer to Niall. "How could I ever be mad at you?" He whispered back. Liam's hand found it's way to Niall's cheek. "You're so beautiful," he murmured. Liam connected their lips.

Niall whimpered a bit at the feeling of Liam's lips on his. The kiss was short, as neither of them took the initiative to move their lips. Liam kept his forehead against Niall's as he pulled away.

"Was that too much?" Liam spoke softly. His breath fanned across Niall's face. Niall removed his forehead from Liam's and shook his head.

"I love you," Niall breathed. "Can you take me home? My mum's going to get mad if she finds out that I'm not home." Liam watched as Niall flinched a bit at the thought of his mother. The brunette wondered why.

"I think I might love you too, Niall." Liam placed a quick kiss on Niall's lips once more. "Yeah, I'll take you home. Maybe I can come see you some other time, yeah?"

"That would be amazing."

When niall got back home, he still had to sneak back in. But this time as he walked through the front door, a smile was spread across his face and his cheeks were blushed. He tried to make it look as if he wasn't sneaking in if Liam were still watching.

Niall shut the door softly and actually made it upstairs without his mother appearing out of nowhere. When he was back inside the safety of his room, Niall collapsed onto his bed with a bright smile still stuck on his face.

"He loves me," Niall whispered into his pillow. "Liam Payne actually loves me."

That was a nice thought to sleep on.

Niall was bit more inspired when he woke up the next morning. He knew that somehow he needed to make up with Harry. He had been a right asshole to his friend, but how was he supposed to make it up?

He checked his phone quickly, not really expecting to have any messages from anyone. He was pleasantly surprised when he had a message from Liam.

hello, babeeeee. just thought i'd wish you a good morning! i hope you have a good day at school, or work, or wherever you're going. maybe we can see each other this weekend? three weeks to tour, and i have something to give you! i love you, ni <3 It was far too early for Niall to be blushing and giggling like he was, but he genuinely couldn't help it.

hey, li. good morning to you too! i hope you have a good day as well. this weekend would be great. love you too, lili! .xx Niall sent his message back quickly. He grinned and headed into his bathroom to start the day.

When he was finished, Niall put on one of his many large sweaters and a pair of skinny jeans. He grabbed his phone from the table and made his way downstairs.

His mother was sitting at the kitchen table sipping at a cup of coffee. "Bye, Mum," he said softly as he walked to the door.

His mother made a noise that could have been a farewell as Niall left. He walked to school as usual; Niall was simply too cheep to pay for gas.

The air was cold. Niall figured it would only be another week before it would be too cold to walk and he would need to drive. Stupid English weather.

"Hey, Niall," Harry greeted softly as Niall walked through the doors. "How are you this morning?"

"Hi, Harry," Niall said just as softly. "I'm sorry about these past few days. I've been a right ass with you."

"It's okay." Harry shrugged and led Niall over to his locker. "I know how you get when your sad. But what happened?"

"It was stupid. I had a date with Liam a few days ago, and he was three hours late. I freaked out and ran. It was just a bit of a misunderstanding. Liam came to the park yesterday and apologized." Liam looked down and blushed. "He even said he loved me."

"Really?" Harry gasped. "He loves you?"

Niall nodded vigorously. "And we're meeting again this weekend. He said he had something to give me."

Harry opened his mouth to say something, but the bell stopped him. "Guess we need to go to class now," Harry giggled. Niall nodded happily.

"I guess so," he agreed.

"So did you clear everything up with Niall?" Louis asked as soon as Liam stepped into the studio. "Oh please say you did!"

"I did," Liam smiled softly. "He loves me, Lou. He actually loves me."

Louis wrapped his arms around Liam tightly. "Of course he loves you, Li. Don't you know how hard it is not to love you?"

Liam chuckled as he embraced Louis back. "Thanks, Lou."

"As long as you set me up with someone, now," Louis murmured in his ear.
