I didn't know what spooked him. I knew it wasn't me. I knew it wasn't anything I had done. But someone, somewhere along the way had hurt him. I had my guess as to who, but didn't know how I could find out for sure. But whatever it was clearly left its mark; an unseen scar that was still healing.
We laid there in the quiet of the darkness. His breathing slowly began to steady and his fingers slowly ceased running down my arm. At some point, I knew he had fallen asleep.
I tilted my head back up towards his face, finding his cheek, kissing him.
"I don't know what made you so afraid," I whispered, "But I can see the shadow behind your face. Who hurt you? Who put your heart through so much pain? I hope you find a way to tell me what you're running from. I promise you can talk to me; you can trust me. I won't break you. I just want to know how to get in there. How do I get you to show me your heart?"
I kissed him once more before resting my head down again. Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply, loving the way his natural scent mixed with the cologne he had put on.
"I promise, you've got the best of me. And I'll do what it takes to bring out the best in you."

This Town |NH|
"I want to dance with you in the middle of this street." She laughed at me, "Why on earth would you do that?" "Because I said I would." I twirled her around and pulled her back to me as I began to sing softly into her ear, "If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you; Drive highways and byways to be there with you. Over and over, the only truth: everything comes back to you." She pulled away from me and looked at me. "Niall--" "Siobhan, stop. Before you say anything, please let me say this first. I've been wanting to say this to you for I don't even know how long. And it's something I should've said a long, long time ago." She let go of me and stepped back. She looked at me inquisitively before saying, "Okay." I looked at her, she was finally going to let me say everything I had been longing to say. Now was my chance, and whatever the outcome, I would force myself to be content with it. I took a deep breath and began.....Complete
Paper Houses |NH|
We both turned to head out towards the streets, lifting our heads towards the sun as its warmth hit us. "Vada?" I asked. She turned to face me, her features the softest they had been all day. "Yes?" she answered, quietly. "Why did we do this? What did we spend all this time building if this is how it's going to end? Why did we climb only to fall so far?" She sighed. Not an angry or over dramatic sigh, like she had done earlier in the day. But, a real, soft, apologetic sigh. "Niall, the only thing I can say is that ultimately we all think we can fly. We all think we're Icarus." "What do you mean?"Complete
Too Much To Ask |NH|
She giggled a little as she looked over at the older couple. "That's going to be us one day." "Yeah?" She rested her head on my shoulder, giving me a quick kiss on my neck before nestling in. I scooted her closer to me with my free hand, resting my hand on her leg. I looked at the older couple for a minute. They were sitting quite close to each other, holding each other's hand, deep in their own world. It was obvious theirs was a love that had deep roots; a love that still made them feel young. I looked down at the woman I had next to me. Her fingers intertwined with mine, her other arm wrapped around my waist. She was perfection, still, even after all this time. "How did I get so lucky?" I whispered softly, to myself.Complete
Lifesaver
[COMPLETED] "Hollie?" He asked. I didn't answer. "Hollie, do you want me to stay?" I pulled away and looked up into his eyes, knowing I would find safety. "Do you want me to stay?" He whispered, stroking my cheek with the back of his hand. My lower lip started to tremble so I just nodded my head, worried about what would happen if I dared to open my mouth. I would always be grateful for having Niall in my life that night, because without him with me I don't know how mentally scarred I would be. That night, Niall was my lifesaver. ******************************************************************* Content warnings: mentions of suicide, family abuse and parental death ******************************************************************* This story was originally posted on onedirectionfanfiction.com (I think in 2012!)

Unexpected (Niall Horan-Love Story)
"It shouldn't hurt this much for me...to see you kiss another girl." I said between sobs. Niall scooted closer by me, and wrapped his arms around me. I threw my arm across his chest and cried into his shoulder. He rested his head on mine. I felt so safe there. My heart felt whole while we sat there in eachother's arms. He completed me. ...................... NOT MY STORY. I'm posting this because the author of this is just perfection ;) P.S. If you are the author, please don't think that im copying your story.

"Tell me and I'll deal with it. I'll handle it. Just-don't shut me out." "I can't," she says again, voice breaking. "I can't tell you. I can't be with you. And I can't stand here and watch you break and know that I'm the reason." She swallows hard, her throat moving. "Please don't make me explain it. Please just... stop." I take a step toward her anyway, rain dripping from my eyelashes, my chest hollow. "I don't care if it kills me," I say, and it's not bravado; it's a man with nothing left to barter. "If that's the price, fine. At least then I get to be with you before it ends." She makes a small sound, half sob, half laugh, and it's the most human thing I've ever heard from her. "Don't say that," she whispers, almost fierce. "Don't ever say that." She holds my eyes for one last beat, lips parted like she might say something else - something that could undo all of this, something that could make the rain stop mattering. But she doesn't. Instead, she exhales, low and unsteady, and shakes her head. "I'm sorry," she says again, softer now, like a confession. Then she turns. And that's it.

"I'll be honest with you. I can't stop thinking about you either. I want to be with you. I want to ask you out on a proper date." "Then why don't you? What's stopping you?" "You." I gave him a confused look. "I just- I've never been a good boyfriend and you deserve someone who will treat you right. I'm not good at this whole dating thing. I won't ever forgive myself if I ever break you." "So break me then." "Harper, please don't make this hard." "Well you like me and I like you I just don't see how we can't just take that chance?" "I want you to go through with your plans with football. I doing what's best for you. I'm no good Harper." "Maybe we don't date then we'll just be really good friends who kiss each other. No strings attached." "Trust me you'll get attatched." "Na-Uh." I wrapped my hands around the back of his neck. "Harp." "C'mon Niall. We'll just be a thing. Plus I'll be leaving so then it's not like we'll be dating or anything." "I don't know." "You make really happy. I just want this before I have to leave." I whispered to him slowly leaning my face closer to him. I kissed his lips and we were both shocked by my sudden action. He kissed me back, not rough though. It was nice and gentle. "No strings attached?" He asked me. "No strings attached." We kissed again.Complete
Seeing Blind |NH|
Choking on air this time, I practically yelled, "She doesn't need a hook up! She needs to be alone. She needs to get her head on straight. She's thinks she's not worth anything to anyone. She doesn't need some random hookup or new boyfriend. She needs to be---" "With you?" She looked at me oddly, expectantly, smugly. I coughed, "What?!" Just then Harry came up behind her. "What's going on here?" "Nothing. I'm just forcing Niall here to realize what's right in front of him." "That sounds like a terrible idea." "What the fuck are you two talking about?" I asked. "Oh, I don't really want them to hook up, Harry. I wanted to see what his reaction would be. I want Niall here to finally fucking notice. I mean, for god sake's we've all had to watch it the last year and a half." "What the fuck is going on?!" I yelled, causing anyone within earshot to look over at me, including Esta. She looked at me, concern on her face. "He clearly needs someone to spell it out for him and if his own bandmates won't do it, then I will! Someone needs to tell him before she finds some other loser who doesn't deserve her." "Tell me what?" I asked, still completely lost. Kendall turned to me, "Tell you that you're in love with Esta."Complete
Black And White //N.H
This story starts in the late summer of 2016. "Well, I found Landslide while I was in a toxic relationship a couple of years ago, and it made me realize that I didn't need him to continue on with my life, even though he was a big part of it, so I guess it kinda stuck with me." I tell him honestly. He glances at me quickly and nods a little. "I get that, I've always felt that it's all about getting out of a comfort zone you've built up with someone that you might care deeply about, but that you know isn't good for you,". A story where I write how I would imagine Niall Horan being to be honest:)Complete
Better Than Words
Niall is sweet. More than sweet; he's cute, charming, and pretty perfect. At first, maybe a little too perfect. Ali meets him and likes him immediately, but feels that he might have too much of a boyish vibe around him... "I open the heavy door to find Niall standing in front of me. His blue eyes are burning. "What are you--" I'm cut off by his lips on mine as he pushes me into the wall behind the door. His fingers twist through my hair and pull so my face is angled upwards to meet his. I feel his teeth graze my bottom lip and bite down just hard enough to be painful in the most chilling way. His hips pin mine to the wall. He starts to pull away and I feel his smirk. "What was that about me being a little boy?" Then he simply turns on his heel and walks out the door, leaving me reeling and my bottom lip stinging from his rough kiss." Who knew a sweet boy from Ireland could be so captivating?Complete
