Liam and Niall are both idiots when it comes to noticing each other's feelings, but although Liam's alter ego always seems to get in the way, it generally speeds things up.

Liam, a.k.a. Mr. Socially Awkward developed a crush on Niall, a.k.a I am Mr. Popular slash bully's boyfriend the moment he laid eyes on him. But when Niall's boyfriend cheats on him, will Liam be able to comfort him?

He watches him. And every time he does, his heart does a little leap. He looks away, hoping he didn't notice. He makes sure to hide it from him. Everyday, 24/7. That's how it is for Niall Horan. He hides his feelings for his best mate by laughing it off and acting like everything is alright. But deep inside, it's not. Niall wants to tell him. So bad. But he doesn't. He won't because he doesn't want to lose his best friend. He doesn't want to ruin his image and he especially doesn't want to ruin anything that all of the other lads have come so far to make of One Direction. So he does what he has to do. He keeps it hidden. He keeps it locked away. Making sure that everything stays the same. But deep down, he's breaking. ********* Just thought that you guys should know: This story is Rated PG-13 Contains: Mild Violence, Language, Sexual Content (Future chapters) Pairings: Niam, Larry, Ziall, Diam (Danielle and Liam?), Zerrie, Elounor, Zanielle <<< This story is completed >>> :)
