I love him. (Ziall AU 1D Slash)

Niall Horan is a caring, flambuoyant, yet shy young man in school. He is gay, but doesn't pronounce it like a drama queen. He is the most unco-ordinated kid you could have but he loves running! He may be crazy but he is very emotional and doesn't let very many people see what's on the inside. He is the guy who knows everybody and tries to like everybody even if the popular kids dislike him. Zayn Malik, on the other hand, is the very vain, quiet popular kid who always has a girl on his arm. He is captain of the school 1st soccer team. Niall, although who can't stand his pretentiousness, strives to see something more to Mr. Malik - he knows there is something more to him and wants to find it because quite simply, he's in love with him. Niall is lost in a whirlwind of confusion as he gets sneaky hints from Zayn just as often as he gets snide, mean remarks from him. Just as much as he believes Zayn feels something toward him, he questions it as he is popular and hot and Niall is just a floating, unattractive being. Niall loves him but what does Zayn feel? Will this hopeless relationship ever work?
