{Year 3016}

Harry: *walks into Liam's office* Hey Lili!

Liam: *smiles* Hey Haz. Where's Lou?

Harry: In the car. *laughs* I was taking him somewhere but I thought I would stop by first.

Liam: *chuckles* Oh.

Harry: Liam, we need to get you a date your lonely and---

Liam: *rolls his eyes* Harry, i'm perfectly fine being single.

Harry: Sure you are that's why when me and Louis go out----

Liam: Harold Edward Styles! If you try to set me up on another blind date-

Harry: *smiles and runs out*

Liam: *sighs sitting back down; jumps a bit hearing the alarm going off; looks up when a bunch of travelers ran into the room with his dad following* Dad.. what's going on?

Mr. Payne: Ireland is collapsing.

Liam: In what time?

Mr. Payne: 2022.

Liam: *stands up* How many travelers are going?

Mr. Payne: 22. Our most important mission is to get Niall Horan out of there.

Liam: *confused* Why...?

Mr. Payne: He's important to our future

Liam: Then send Andy there. You know he's one of our most successful travelers.

Mr. Payne: I am.

Liam: Alright... so what are the coordinates for it? *walks over to the portal*

Mr. Payne: 32 by 64.

Liam: *puts all the information in* All set.

Andy: *walks up as some of the travelers went in hurriedly and vanished* Wish me luck?

Liam: *sighs* Good luck Andy. And be careful!

Andy: *laughs* What makes you think I won't?

Liam: *gives him a look* Andy...

Andy: Alright, alright! I will. Relax, Li. *smiles* See ya later. *hugs him quickly before rushing in*

Liam: *sighs* See ya...

{Year 2022; Ireland}

Niall: *rushing around* MOM!?

Andy: *appears somewhere* Niall?

Niall: MOM! *turns around sees Andy* Who are you?...

Andy: Listen.. you have to come with me okay? *slowly walks over to him* You'll be safe.

Niall: *backs up* Mom..

Andy: I'm sorry Niall.. it's already too late for her.. please you'll be safe. She'd want you to be safe. *gently grabs his wrist*

Niall: *whimpers* Where...?

Andy: With me. I won't hurt you. I promise you that. It'll be somewhere safe...

Niall: *nods* Okay...

Andy: *takes his hand gently & leads him off to a disclosed area where one of the portals were* Just through there. *leads him all the way through and they appear back in the portal room (Year 3016); smiles weakly seeing a bunch of other people brought in; leads Niall to one of the nurses* She'll take care of you, Niall. She just needs to check for any injuries okay?

Niall: But... where am I?

Andy: Year 3016.

Niall: That's impossible...

Andy: I'm a traveler. I travel through time like most of the people here. *nods towards a few other travelers helping attend to the weak*

Niall: Well... where will I stay?

Andy: Wherever Liam sends you off to.

Niall: Who is Liam?...

Andy: My childhood bestfriend. *grins* That's him. *points to Liam who was talking with an elderly couple*

Niall: *looks over*

Liam: *smiles softly at the elderly couple* Is there anything you both need?

Elderly Woman: No. Thank you so much.

Liam: *chuckles* It's no problem. I'll come get you when your ride arrives. *gets up & walks over to Andy & Niall* Hey Andy. How'd everything go?

Andy: Smooth sailing, like always Li. *smiles up at him*

Liam: *laughs* Right.. *looks at Niall* You're Niall, right?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: Well i'm Liam. I'll be helping you settle into this year. If there's anything you need to just let me know.

Niall: Where am I going?

Liam: Erm... *checks the clipboard he was holding; scans for his name* Huh... it says you're living with me and my roommates...

Andy: Oh god..

Niall: Oh... I---is that okay?...

Liam: Hold on.. *gets up then goes over to his dad* Dad, I need to speak to you.

Mr. Payne: What?

Liam: Why are you putting Niall Horan in my house? When you asked if Harry & Louis could move in, I didn't mind 'cause you asked me in person. But now you're putting a stranger in my house without my consent?

Mr. Payne: Actually I think Harry told me to.

Liam: Dad!

Mr. Payne: Too late.

Liam: I can't believe you! You know, this is why I wish mom was here 'cause atleast she'd understand!

Mr. Payne: Sorry Liam, you might like him.

Liam: Whatever... atleast come to me next time you try to add someone into my life. *throws the clipboard at him & walks off out of the room*

Andy: *sighs then turns to Niall who was shaking* Hey.. he's not usually like this... him and his dad just have difficult speaking terms most of the time... and sometimes he just does things without telling him... Liam likes being told stuff... it's nothing against you or anything.

Niall: I--I wanna go somewhere else...

Andy: Niall, you were placed into his care. Things in the future are not the same like in the past...

Niall: *sighs* B--but he hates me...

Andy: He does not! Liam is like a bloody puppy. He can never hate anyone. He'll warm up to you. I promise.

Niall: Where do I go now?...

Andy: Erm.. I would take you to his but um.. Liam is kinda my ride home so.. I guess until Liam cools down which will likely be in a couple minutes.

Niall: *looking around for Liam*

Liam: *walks back into the room; goes over to the elderly couple* Your ride is here. Out that door and to your left. *smiles slightly then walks over to Niall and Andy* Well i'm all done here so.. you ready to go?

Niall: I---if it's a problem i'm staying there....

Liam: It's not. *smiles softly*

Niall: O--Okay..*Stands up slowly*

Andy: *stands up aswell; stretches a bit* Alright.

Liam: *walks with them out to his car; unlocks it & they all get in; starts it & drives off*

Niall: Soo... Liam?...

Liam: Yeah?

Niall: Where will I sleep?...

Liam: In a spare bedroom.

Niall: Thanks.. *smiles*

*When they get home and inside*

Harry: *runs downstairs* LIAM!!!

Liam: Hi Harry.

Louis: *runs downstairs* Ha- whoa! *trips on the stairs falling face first; groans then gets up quickly; notices Liam* Oh hi Liam.

Liam: Do I want to know...?

Harry: *picks Louis up* You okay angel?

Niall: *looks at the floor*

Louis: *nods* Yup. *notices Niall* Who's this?

Liam: This is Niall. Niall, this is Louis & Harry, my idiotic roommates.

Louis: Hey! *pouts*

Harry: My baby is hot so it's okay.

Niall: *nods*

Louis: *shakes his head slowly* You're such a weirdo, curly.

Liam: Anyway... wanna see your room, Niall?

Niall: Sure...

Liam: Follow me. *leads him upstairs then to a bed room* I'm sorry it's so dull... we let the person living in the room decide their decorations and stuff..

Niall: I don't have to live with you...

Liam: Well you kinda do... once you're placed under someone's care it can't be changed... but I don't mind.

Niall: It's not like you HAVE to take care of me, i'm not a child.

Liam: *puts his hands up defensively* I never said you were.

Niall: Then you don't have too...

Liam: It's different here, Niall. I don't know how to explain it but until you're atleast 19 you're living here...

Niall: I'm almost 17...

Liam: I just turned 19 last month so...

Niall: *pouts*

Liam: *smiles a bit* Why are you pouting?

Niall: I'm not a kid.. *pouting*

Liam: I know, you're just legally a minor. That's all.

Niall: *folds arms*

Liam: *can't help the smile falling onto his lips* Niall..

Niall: Hm?

Liam: You're too cute... *walks out of the room*

Niall: *blushes*

*With Liam*

Harry: So how's Niall? *laughs*

Liam: He seems alright, why?

Harry: Rightttt. He's totally your type.

Liam: *frowns* Harold.

Harry: What?

Liam: The poor boy was just taken from a bloody island collapsation. You are not, I repeat, you are NOT going to play match maker.

Harry: But admit it, he's hot. *laughs*

Liam: *sighs* Fine, yes he is. Now come help me prepare movie night. You promised Lou you'd let him pick tonight's movie.

Harry: *laughs* Boo pick a movie.

Niall: *peeks his head out of his room* Movie?..

Louis: *squeals excitedly rushing over to the den*

Liam: *laughs* Yeah.. we have a movie night every friday. You can join if you want.

Niall: Can I really?... *smiles softly*

Liam: *nods* Of course.

Niall: *walks down the stairs* Hey Liam?...

Liam: Yes?

Niall: I lost my guitar b--back at home....

Liam: Oh.. I can buy you a new one if you want... I know it won't replace it though.. it's just a suggestion..

Niall: I can pay you back...

Liam: *shakes his head* No, don't.

Niall: *smiles* Thank you.

Liam: *smiles back* You're welcome. You can go look at movies with Louis or if you wanna help me and Harry get all the snacks and stuff.

Niall: *runs over to Louis* Hi..

Louis: *looking at movies; looks up; smiles* Hi!

Niall: I'm Niall! *smiles*

Louis: I'm Louis. *grins*

Niall: I take it you and Harry are together?

Louis: *blushes a bit thinking of Harry* Yeah... we've been together for almost 3 years now.

Niall: That's adorable. I never had a boyfriend back home.

Louis: Before I met Harry I had been dating my bestfriend for about 2 years. But he helped me realized I wasn't really inlove with him like I thought I was. *shrugs then looks at more movies* And I fell for Harry.

Niall: I don't think any guy could ever be into me.

Louis: Don't think like that. *nudges him* There's alot of cute guys here in 3016. How do I know? I've been living with 1 of them since I came here.

Niall: *shrugs* What guy could like me

Louis: Well there's Liam..

Niall: He could never like me.

Louis: You sure about that?

Niall: *nods*

Louis: If he asked you out what would you say? *picks out a movie setting it on the coffee table then turns to Niall*

Niall: *smiles* I would probably say yes.

Louis: Really now?

Niall: Yeah. *laughs*

Louis: Good to know. *smiles then looks over when Harry & Liam walked in carrying snacks and popcorn* YAY!

Niall: FOOD!!!

Liam: *laughs a bit sitting on Niall's left side while Harry sat on Louis' right; sets the food on the coffee table* So what did you pick, Lou?

Louis: *grins a bit; holds up the movie*  Piranhas!

Harry: *laughs* Why boo?

Louis: 'Cause I want to see it. *pouts; crawls into his lap*

Harry: *hugs him close* Mine..

Niall: I don't like scary movies...

Liam: So does Louis, but he's always being a little rebel.

Louis: *sticks his tongue out at him then snuggles into Harry who was putting the movie in*

Niall: *looks up at Liam*

Liam: *looks at him* I'm here if it gets too scary, okay?

Niall: But I get scared at anything...

Louis: Then cuddle him! *gets his mouth covered by Harry*

Niall: *looking at Liam*

Harry: Hush boo.

Liam: *rolls his eyes; leans down near his ear & whispers something to him*

Louis: *raises an eyebrow seeing Niall laugh* What's so funny?

Niall: Nothinggg. *smiles*

*During the movie*

Niall: *squeals; hides face in his arms*

Harry: *running fingers through Louis' hair*

Liam: *wraps an arm around Niall* You okay?

Niall: *whimpering* Scary...

Liam: *rubs his back a bit* Shh.. it's just a movie...

Niall: *lays head on Liam's chest*

Harry: *smiles at Liam*

Liam: *nuzzles his nose into his hair a bit*

Louis: *squeeks hiding his face into Harry's chest*

Harry: *looks down at him* Is my boo okay?

Louis: *looks up at him & nods* Just not use to all the blood... *pecks his lips softly snuggling him deeper; looks back at the screen*

Niall: *burries face in Liam's chest*

Harry: *wiggles eye brows*

Liam: *gives Harry a glare then looks down at Niall wrapping his arm around his waist*

Harry: Maybe Niall shouldn't watch this, Liam... He's gonna get nightmares just like Louis will, only Louis will have me to hold onto.

Liam: Niall? You don't have to watch this if you don't want to..

Niall: *looks up at Liam gets up and runs up to his room*

Harry: Poor kid.

Liam: I'll go check on him.. *gets up going upstairs; knocks on his door* Niall?

Niall: C-come in...

Liam: *opens the door slowly walking in* You alright? I wanted to make sure you're okay...

Niall: Scared...

Liam: *sits down at the foot of the bed* I'm sorry for letting you watch that...

Niall: S--stay with me tonight?...

Liam: *nods* As long as you want me to.

Niall: *nods quickly*

Liam: *crawls more up on the bed & sits next to him*

Niall: *burries face in his chest*

Liam: *rubs gentle circles on his back*

Niall: L--Louis asked me what I would say if you asked me out..

Liam: *raises an eyebrow* He did?

Niall: Yeah...

Liam: What did you say? *looks down at him*

Niall: I'd probably say yes. *blushes*

Liam: Why..?

Niall: Well... you seem really nice... I never had a boyfriend or girlfriend... no one was ever interested in me.

Liam: Then they're blind idiots. You're adorable...

Niall: *blushes* So are you..

Liam: *smiles a bit then kisses his cheek*

Niall: *hides face in Liam's chest*

Liam: *smiles more* Watcha doing?

Niall: Blushing... *giggles*

Liam: Well don't hide your cute face... *nuzzles his hair*

Niall: I don't like blushing infront of people thougghhhh.

Liam: But I find it cuuuuuute.

Niall: *looks up*

Liam: *smiles then kisses his nose*

Niall: *smiles*

*With Larry*

Louis: *has his head on Harry's lap* Haz... what do you think they're doing?

Harry: *running fingers through his hair* Making out. *laughs*

Louis: But Liam's not the type to snog someone out of the blue...

Harry: I'm kidding boo, I think they're cuddling.

Louis: *stays silent for about 5 minutes* When I was in middle school I snogged one of my teachers.

Harry: Uh...

Louis: I was 12 and it was a dare! *pouts*

Harry: MINE! *growls*

Louis: *giggles then sits up straddling him* Yes, yours. Susan Boyle was a horrible kisser anyway. *kisses him softly*

Harry: *deepens*

Louis: *smiles into it then pulls away*

*With Niam*

Niall: *yawning*

Liam: Tired?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: Sleep?

Niall: Will you stay?...

Liam: If you want me to.

Niall: *snuggles into him*

Liam: *smiles burrying his nose in his hair gently not to disturb him*

Harry: *walks in holding Louis who fell asleep* Hey, how's Niall?

Liam: He's okay. He just fell asleep.

Harry: *smiles* So did Louis, so you gonna ask him out?

Liam: Seriously Haz?

Harry: He deserves it Lili.... he feels unwanted.

Liam: I don't want him getting the wrong idea though.. I mean I do like him but I don't want him feeling used..

Harry: How will that make him feel used?

Liam: You know I overthink...

Harry: Liam, I think he likes you.

Liam: *looks at Niall* What if I hurt him..?

Harry: You know you never would.

Liam: I know but.. *sighs* I just don't wanna end up doing so and not realizing it.

Harry: If you don't take the chance someone else in the future will.

Liam: *pulls Niall closer* Mine...

Harry: Well you better hurry up and claim him. *laughs* I did with Louis.

Liam: *justs nods looking at Niall*

Louis: *squirms in Harry's arms; whimpers*

Harry: Boo bear? *pulls him closer; nuzzles his neck*

Louis: *whimpers a bit more but instantly relaxes feeling Harry nuzzle him*

Liam: How do you get him to relax like that...?

Harry: Nuzzling his neck, he likes it. *smiles*

Niall: *wakes up but keeps eyes closed; snuggles into Liam more*

Harry: You two are so cute.

Liam: *smiles softly* Yeah he is...

Niall: *squirms; opens eyes*

Liam: *looks down at him* You okay?

Niall: Bad dream..

Liam: N'aw... *nuzzles his cheek* Well it's over now.

Niall: I know...

Louis: *wakes up; yawns* Haz..? *rubs his eyes*

Harry: Yeah angel?

Louis: Sleepy.. *puts his head on his shoulder*

Harry: Go sleep.

Louis: *whines* Come to beeeed with mee.

Harry: I'll be there in a minute okay? Gotta tell Liam one more thing.

Louis: *sighs* Fine.. *lazily pecks his lips then gets up leaving the room*

Harry: Remember what I told you?... Trust me it will happen, I almost lost Louis...

Liam: *nods* Yeah..

Harry: *walks out*

Niall: *snuggled into him* Hey Liam?...

Liam: Yeah, Niall?

Niall: Do you think im ever gonna be wanted by any guy? *Smiles slightly*

Liam: *mentally sighs* Of course you will be. Any guy would be lucky to be able to call you his own.

Niall: *shrugs* Well I guess we'll see, right?

Liam: Right.

Niall: *falls asleep*

*Next morning Liam wakes up without Niall*

Liam: *sits up; stretches* Niall..?

Harry: *walks in* Out.

Liam: Oh.. *gets up*

Harry: You know how in the future we have those hook up places?

Liam: Uh.. yeah?

Harry: Well Louis didn't think you would mind if he took Niall.

Liam: Wait, why is Louis even going?

Harry: Just to take Niall.

Liam: And you're okay with that...?

Harry: He would never cheat. *laughs* I know my baby but Niall on the other hand... might meet someone Liam.

Liam: It's his life.. he should be able to choose whoever he wants to be with.. *walks past him*

Harry: You're an idiot.

Liam: *turns around* What do you want me to say?! That I can't stand to know that he could be with someone else this very minute?! 'Cause I can't stand that! But I want him to be happy! Even if it means giving him up to someone else who could treat him way better than I ever could! *goes to his room slamming the door shut*

Niall: *walks in* Liam?...

Harry: Upstairs.

Niall: *walks up* Liam?...

Liam: *in his room; hears him; sighs* In my room...

Niall: *walks in* I was looking for you....

Liam: *sits up* What for..?

Niall: Well 'cause Louis tried to hook me up with this hot guy but... I wasn't that interested but I don't know why...

Liam: Maybe he just wasn't the type you're looking for?

Niall: *shrugs*

Liam: I'm sure you'll find someone...

Niall: Doubt it.

Liam: Please. Guys will be suckers for your blue eyes. *smiles softly*

Niall: But i'm just not into them that much.

Liam: Just give them a chance?

Niall: Maybe...

Liam: *nods then lays back on his bed staring at the ceiling*

Niall: Hey Liam?...

Liam: Hm? *looks at him*

Niall: Thanks. *snuggles into him

Liam: *smiles snuggling him back* No problem, Ni.

Niall: *looks up at him*

Liam: *looks at him* What?

Niall: Pretty eyes. *smiles slightly*

Liam: *blushes a bit* Oh really?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: Thanks..

Niall: *smiles* You're pretty hot too. *turns onto his side; yawning*

Liam: *raises an eyebrow* You think i'm hot?

Niall: Yeah.

Liam: Mm. *cuddles into his back a bit*

Niall: *blushes* Liam?...

Liam: *half asleep* Hm..?

Niall: Why don't you like me?... Like I like you...

Liam: *mumbles something but falls asleep*

Niall: *pouts*

*The Next Morning*

Niall: *snuggled into Liam*

Liam: *wakes up; about to sit up but feels someone laying on him; looks down and smiles seeing Niall*

Niall: *feels him move; clings to him*

Liam: *chuckles softly & sits up slightly pulling him into his lap without waking him up*

Niall: *snuggles into him*

Liam: *smiles*

Niall: *opens eyes*

Liam: Good morning. *smiles softly*

Niall: Morning...

Liam: Did you sleep well?

Niall: *shrugs*

Louis: *peers into the room* Niall. There's someone at the door for you.

Niall: Who?

Louis: Donny. *quickly retreats to his room before he can say anything*

Liam: *raises an eyebrow* Donny?

Niall: Met him last night.

Liam: And you gave him your address the first time you met him? Or was that Louis?

Niall: Me...

Liam: Oh.

Niall: Is that bad?

Liam: Well you should just know the person more before letting them know where you live. You never know if they can be a killer.

Niall: *sighs*

Liam: Hey, it's okay.. but atleast you know now.

Niall: *smiles*

Liam: Well he's waiting so.. you should probably go down...

Niall: Hug?

Liam: *nods then hugs him tightly*

Niall: *burries face in his neck*

Liam: *sighs a bit before pulling back from it*

Niall: *smiles* SEE YA LATER! *runs off*

Harry: *walks in* Hey..

Liam: Hey.

Harry: I'm sorry... about Niall...

Liam: It's... whatever. He should be able to go out with whoever he wants.. I won't stop him.

Harry: *walks over and hugs him* No.. but it's hurting you.

Liam: *hugs him back* I-I'll get over it eventually..

Harry: Do you really believe that?

Liam: Honestly? No..

Harry: *hugs him tighter* Give Niall time. You know what they say, go through frogs to get to your prince.

Liam: *lays his chin on Harry's shoulder; chuckles* Yeah..

Harry: I really do believe you and Niall are suppose to be together.

Liam: I've only known him for 2 days. Why are you so sure?

Harry:The way you guys act around eachother is how me and Louis did...*Smiles* LOUIS!

Louis: *pokes his head in* Hm?

Harry:Come here cutie

Louis: *walks over*

Harry: *pulls him close* Don't Liam and Niall act like we did?

Louis: *nods* But they're worse...

Harry: I know.

Louis: *cuddles into his chest*

Harry: *smiles*

Liam: *smiles softly* You guys are adorable..

Harry: *nuzzles Louis' cheek* Mine...

Louis: *giggles; turns his cheek so his lips meet Harry's*

Harry: *deepens*

Louis: *wraps his arms around his neck pulling him closer*

Liam: Whoa, okay... you guys are adorable but that doesn't give you the right to make out on my bed...

Louis: *laughs pulling away*

Harry: Then get out. *smiles*

Liam: It's my room. *folds his arms*

Louis: *laughs standing up* I'll be in our room. *kisses Harry's cheek then runs off*

Harry: *stares at his ass*

Liam: *shakes his head* Same old Harry.

Harry: MY ASS!

Liam: *laughs* Yours.

Harry: I gotta go chase my ass, do you mind?

Liam: Go ahead.

Harry: *runs in and grabs Louis by the hips*

Louis: *giggles* Hiya.

Harry: My ass.

Louis: *blushes* Yours?

Harry: Yes my ass, no one else can touch it.

Louis: *playfully grinds against him* Mkay.

Harry: COME HERE YOU! *picks him up bridal style*

Louis: *wraps his arms around his neck laughing*

Harry: No teasing.

Louis: But it's fuuuun.

Harry: For you.

Louis: *giggles* Yesh.

Harry: *lays him down on the bed and crawls on top*

*With Niam*

Niall: *walks in at 11 pm*

Liam: *fell asleep on the couch*

Niall: *smiles walks over and hugs him*

Liam: *wakes up with a bit of a jolt; yawns* Did you just get home?

Niall: Yeah. *smiles*

Liam: Oh.

Niall: The date sucked, he didn't even pay for me *pouts*

Liam: Aww.

Niall: Now I have like no money.

Liam: I can always help you find a job.

Niall: *shrugs* I don't really want one.

Liam: Alright then.

Niall: Will you lay with me?...

Liam: Sure. *stands up*

Niall: *drags him upstairs; lays him down and crawls on top of him cuddling into him*

Liam: *smiles softly cuddling him back*

Niall: You're so soft.

Liam: So are you.

Niall: I know i'm adorable. *giggles*

Liam: Oh shush, little leperchaun.

Niall: *yawns*

Liam: Sleepy?

Niall: He dropped me off two blocks away...

Liam: What? Why?

Niall: *shrugs*

Liam: That's just rude.

Niall: I didn't know where I was going...

Liam: Well maybe I should show you around.

Niall: *whimpers*

Liam: You okay?

Niall: I don't know, kinda scared.

Liam: How come?

Niall: Guys around here... are horrible.

Liam: What do you mean...?

Niall: Just.. they don't hold doors for you or anything.

Liam: True... but not all guys are like that.

Niall: All the ones I met.

Liam: Including me..?

Niall: *shrugs* I don't know, never went out with you.

Liam: I meant in general.

Niall: I'm sure you're great...

Liam: *shrugs*

Niall: Hush. *pecks his cheek*

Liam: *freezes a bit*

Niall: *smiles; shrugs* Couldn't help myself.

Liam: *blushes*

Niall: *giggles*

Liam: Your giggle is fucking adorable..

Niall: *blushes*

Liam: *bites his lip then leans down quickly pressing his lips to his*

Niall: *kisses him back gently*

Liam: *cups his face slowly deepening it*

Niall: *wraps arms around his neck*

Liam: *pulls him closer so their chests met*

Niall: *smiles into it*

Liam: *wraps his arms around his waist*

Niall: *pulls away panting*

Liam: *smiles slightly*

Niall: *flustered*

Liam: *laughs a bit then leans his forehead on his* You're so cute, you know that?

Niall: *shrugs*

Liam: Well you are. *nuzzles his cheek*

Niall: *smiles* So are you...

Liam: *blushes a bit*

Niall: But you didn't seem like you liked me...

Liam: Well I do...

Niall: Why didn't you tell me...? Me going out with all those guys...

Liam: I didn't know if you did want me or not. I wanted you happy.. and I was sure someone else could... unlike I ever could. *looks down*

Niall: *lifts his chin* I like you Liam...

Liam: I like you too, Niall..

Niall: I was waiting for you to make a move...

Liam: Why?

Niall: I'm shy.

Liam: Oh..

Niall: Please tell me that kiss meant something to you too...

Liam: Of course it did..

Niall: *smiles* I don't wanna date anymore..

Liam: Then don't..

Niall: I don't like being alone either though....

Liam: I know..

Niall: What about you?...

Liam: *shrugs* I don't know. I know i'd be happy either single or in a relationship.

Niall: *snuggles into him*

Liam: *snuggles him back*

Niall: Do you think you could ever like me?..

Liam: Maybe.

Niall: *sighs*

Liam: *burries his face in his neck*

Niall: *holds him close*

Liam: *hears his pager go off; groans then sits up; checks his pager & sees he has to go into the office for a meeting; sighs* I gotta go. *gets up pulling on his coat*

*At the office*

Danielle: Hi, i'm Danielle Peazer. *smiles*

Liam: *smiles shaking her hand* I'm Liam Payne.

Danielle: *smiles* Yeah, I know.

Liam: *flushes a bit* Yeah... so why were we called into a meeting so late?

Danielle: Actually I really just wanted to see you...

Liam: Why?

Danielle: You're cute.

Liam: Ermm... thanks?

Danielle: Sorry..

Liam: For?

Danielle: I'm kind of blunt. *smiles* But don't get the wrong idea it's not all about looks.

Liam: *chuckles* I've noticed.

Danielle: There are some files you need to go through.

Liam: *nods* Are they on my desk?

Danielle: Yeah.

Liam: *nods* I'll get right on them. *starts heading to his office*

Danielle: *sits down*

Liam: *goes to his office; sits down going through the files*

*After*

Liam: *finishes then realizes its 3 am* Shit... *gathers everything then leaves his office shutting the door*

Danielle: What's wrong?

Liam: It's like 3 am already.. I didn't realize it.

Danielle: Go home. *laughs*

Liam: *laughs; nods* Do you need anything else before I do?

Danielle: How about a ride home?... I kinda walked here.

Liam: Sure. *smiles*

Danielle: Let me just get my purse. *grabs her purse*

*They go out to the car*

Liam: *opens the door for her*

Danielle: *smiles* Thanks! You're so sweet. *gets in*

Danielle: Hey, if you ever wanna talk. *hands him her number*

Liam: *nods taking it* Thanks... hey.. do you have a date to the traveler ball at all?

Danielle: Not at all.

Liam: Well... would you maybe wanna go with me..? I'm not really good at asking other people and you seem like a really nice woman.

Danielle: *smiles* If your serious about it being a date.

Liam: *nods smiling* 100% sure.

Danielle: *nods * Okay then I need a dress.

Liam: I can hook you up with this really good dress boutique if you want.

Danielle: YEAH! That would be great.

Liam: *smiles before writing down the number to it* Just tell them I sent you. They owe me anyway. So it'll even it out.

Danielle: Thanks! *gets out*

Liam: *nods* So i'll call you later, then?

Danielle: That would be great.

Liam: *smiles*  You have a great night, Danielle. *drives off then gets home; silently opens the door & shuts it quitely trying not to make any noise*

Niall: *walks down* Liam?...

Liam: *jumps a bit; turns around letting out a breath* Shit.. I thought you were Harry... why are you still up? It's like almost 4 in the morning.

Niall:*Rubs eyes* I was waiting for you...

Liam: *bites his lip remembering earlier; sighs then walks up to him* Let's get you to bed then. I don't want you tired.

Niall: *puts arms up* Carry?..

Liam: *shakes his head a bit chuckling lightly* Fine. *picks him up taking him to Niall's room; lays him down under the covers*

Niall: Come here...

Liam: Hm?

Niall: Come under the covers with me...

Liam: *crawls under the covers cuddling into him slightly* Sleep, little leperchaun.

Niall: You'll be here when I wake up?...

Liam: Yes. *kisses his forehead* Now sleep.

Niall: *falls asleep cuddled into him*

Liam: *sighs playing with his hair a bit; whispers* I swear you'll be the end of me, Niall Horan.

*The Next Morning*

Harry: *walks in seeing Niall still asleep; Liam staring him* Nice moment there.

Liam: *glares at him* Oh like you've never done it to Louis.

Harry: Yeah but i'm dating him.

Liam: Yeah, yeah.. whatever.

Harry: So who you taking to the ball?

Liam: I kinda asked Danielle Peazer... I really don't know why but I ended up asking her when I dropped her off at her house last night...

Harry: But Niall...

Liam: I know but.. *sighs* it's too late now. And I really kinda like Danielle, as weird as it is..

Harry: Good luck telling Niall.

Liam: It's just a ball, Harry. It doesn't mean anything.

Harry: You say that now.

Liam: *rolls his eyes* Anyway, are you still taking Louis to see El?

Harry: I have to. *smiles*

Liam: *laughs* Yeah.. or he'd throw a casket.

Harry: Oh hush.

Liam: *shrugs* You know he only trusts her.

Harry: I know that's my baby for ya. *laughs*

Liam: Yeah.. I swear since the day they met in the mall they've been joined by the hip... and it's creepy how much they're alike...

Harry: *nods*

Liam: Hey, maybe if you and Lou never met and met El instead you both would've gone out. *gets hit with a pillow* Hey!

Harry: MINE!

Liam: *laughs* I know.

Harry: *rushes out*

Niall: *squirming*

Liam: *moves him so he's more comfortable*

Niall: *smiles softly*

Liam: *sighs laying his head back*

Niall: *opens eyes*

Liam: *shuts his eyes biting his lip*

Niall: *looks up at him* Kiss? *smiles*

Liam: Huh? *opens his eyes looking down at him*

Niall: Kiss?...

Liam: You sure?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: *kisses his lips softly*

Niall: *pulls him closer; deepens*

Liam: *moans a bit losing himself into the kiss a bit*

Niall: *runs hand up his shirt*

Liam: *groans; rolls ontop of him before getting rolled onto his back*

Niall: Noooo, i'm in control.

Liam: *laughs* Fine. You take control.

Niall: Are you sure you wanna do this?... I'm not... not fully ready...

Liam: If you don't wanna go that far it's up to you. Just do whatever you're comfortable doing. I won't pressure you.

Niall: *lifts his shirt; rubs gently*

Liam: *groans; leans up using his elbows and kisses him softly again*

Niall: *deepens*

Liam: *pulls him closer wrapping his arms around his waist*

Niall: *pulls away* Hey Liam?...

Liam: Yeah?

Niall: *burries face in his neck*

Liam: You okay?

Niall: *nods* Just hold me?...

Liam: Okay. *rubs circles on his lower back*

Niall: I'm sorry....

Liam: Why?

Niall: I just... I can't.... not yet...

Liam: It's fine, Niall. Shh... I wasn't planning on it anyway...

Niall: I wish I could cause I--I know you probably want it...

Liam: Niall, listen to me. *makes him look up at him* Don't think you have to do anything. I'm not ready either...

Niall: *smiles* Really...?

Niall: So.. who are you going to the ball with?

Liam: Um... *bites his lip* I-I kinda am going with this girl from work, Danielle... it just kinda popped out when I was dropping her off.

Niall: Oh... *smiles*

Liam: Yeah...

Niall: Well, i'm excited for you...

Liam: *shrugs* I guess... would you mind helping me find a tux for it?

Niall: *shrugs* I guess...

Liam: *smiles*

Niall: *smiles back*

*In The After Noon When They Go To The Tux Fittings*

Niall: *sitting in the waiting room*

Liam: *comes out in one* What you think..? Too big? *adjusts it a bit*

Niall: Way too big.

Liam: *nods going back in changing into another 1; comes back out*

Niall: *smiles* It's cute but... not you.

Liam: *blushes a bit nodding then quickly  going back in & changing into a  softer black tone; comes back out* Any better?

Niall: *blushes* Hot stuff.

Liam: *smiles softly* So this one?

Niall: That one.

Liam: *nods going back into the changing room and changing back into his own clothes; comes out with the tux around his arm; hugs him tightly* Thank you so much for helping me pick a tux out.

Niall: *smiles slightly* Y-You're welcome...

Liam: *smiles & goes to pay for the tux*

Alexandra: *walks up to Niall with her arms folding; smirks* You know Liam Payne?

Niall: Yeah..

Alexandra: Listen, he'll never be interested in you okay? So just back off.

Eleanor: *overhears; rolls her eyes walking over* Alex, just 'cause Liam never asked you out doesn't mean you have to harrass everyone he is with. Stop being a slutty whore and go fuck a banjo.

Alexandra: *gasps before stomping off*

Eleanor: *smiles softly at Niall* I'm Eleanor Calder. *puts out her hand*

Niall: Niall... but we're not together....

Eleanor: Not yet anyway.

Louis: *runs in* El! *hugs her tightly*

Eleanor: *laughs hugging him back* Hey Lou.

Louis: *pulls back smiling; looks at Niall* Hi Niall!

Niall: Hey... *smiles weakly*

Louis: *worried* You okay?

Eleanor: Alex was just starting shit again. Don't worry, Niall. She's harmless.

Niall: No it's true... he's not into me he's going with Danielle...

Louis: Doesn't mean he's not into you.

Niall: I don't think so.

Louis: Niall. He follows you like a lost puppy. How can you not see it?

Niall: He's going with Danielle... that's why...

Louis: *sighs*

Niall: We fucking kissed! He just... threw that all away...

Louis: He doesn't just kiss people without it meaning something. It obviously meant something to him.

Niall: But he did...

Eleanor: I'm sure it's just a one time thing with Danielle. Okay?

Niall: If it's not?

Eleanor: I'm positive it is.

Niall: *sighs*

Louis: *hugs him tight* It'll be okay.

Niall: *burries facce in his chest*

Liam: *walks back over with the suit in a bag* Niall... you okay?

Niall: Uh...yeah...

Harry: *walks in* LOUIS, I SAID WAIT FOR ME!

Louis: *pouts* But it's Eleanor!!!

Eleanor: *laughs at Harry's grumbling* Looks like the Tommo favors me. *sticks her tongue out at him childishly*

Louis: *giggles*

Harry: Fine. I'll leave.

Louis: *whimpers running over to him hugging him by his waist* No leave! *burries his face in his chest*

Harry: *hugs him*

Louis: No go... *whimpers*

Harry: *nods* Yours.

*The Night Of The Traveler's Ball*

Liam: *pulls up to Danielle's house; gets out then goes up to the door knocking on it; bites his lip nervously holding a rose behind his back*

Danielle: *opens the door*

Liam: *smiles seeing her* Hey.. you look.. beautiful.

Danielle: *blushes* Thank you... you look handsome.

Danielle: *gets out of the car*

Liam: *gets out as well and walks in with her to the ball*

Danielle: You wanna dance?

Liam: Sure. *smiles*

Danielle: *grabs his hand and drags him to the dance floor as a slow song comes on*

Liam: *places his hands on her waist when the slow melody began* So is there anything else I should know about you?

Danielle: Well what do you wanna know?

Liam: Anything. Like what your hobbies are, your dreams.. about anything.

Danielle: I wanna be a dancer.

Liam: Really? Then why are you working for travelers?

Danielle: *shrugs*

Liam: I'm sure you'd be a great dancer.

Danielle: *smiles* Really?

Liam: *nods* You should always fufill your dreams, Dani. Even if it means having to go through a load of auditions and working harder. You'd reach it in no time.

Danielle: What's your dream?

Liam: To be a singer/song-writer. I know it's silly but I enjoy it..

Danielle: Sing for me. *smiles*

Liam: *confused* What?

Danielle: Sing.

Liam: Erm... what song?

Danielle: Any.

Liam: *thinks; hears A Team starting to play in the background and sings along*
White lips, pale face.
Breathing in snowflakes.
Burnt lungs, sour taste.
Light's gone, day's end.
Struggling to pay rent.
Long nights, strange men.

Danielle: *smiles; nuzzles his neck* You're amazing.

Liam: *shakes his head* Not really..

Danielle: I would buy your music.

Liam: Really?

Danielle: Of course! You're amazing.

Liam: *blushes a bit; can't help but hum along to the catchy tune*
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly.. *nuzzles her cheek softly*

Danielle: *giggles* You're so cute..

Liam: *shrugs; stands up a bit straight hearing the music go off; turns around toward the stage seeing his father coming onto the stage*

Danielle: *looks over*

Mr. Payne: *smiles at Liam* LIAMMMM!!! She's cute, who's this?

Liam: *goes red a bit realizing how drunk his father is* Um... Danielle...

Mr. Payne: She's cute, your girlfriend.

Liam: Dad, she's not my girlfriend...

Mr. Payne: Kiss her.

Liam: W-what?

Mr. Payne: Kiss her.

Liam: Why?

Danielle: *smiles at him* Do it.

Liam: I.. *notices people egging him on; sighs frustratingly* Bloody hell.. *kisses her softly*

Danielle: *deepens*

Liam: *pulls away from it a few minutes later; bites his lip hearing cheering and whistles*

Danielle: *blushing*

Liam: *smiles a bit; looks at his feet*

Danielle: *hugs him tight*

Liam: *hugs her back*

Danielle: You're a good kisser.

Liam: So are you. *smiles*

Danielle: Really?

Liam: *nods then leans down kissing her softly again* Yeah.

Danielle: *hides her face in Liam's chest*

Liam: *smiles a bit* Danielle?

Danielle: Hm?...

Liam: Would you might wanna go on a proper date with me? Like a dinner date?

Danielle: You mean a real date?...

Liam: *nods* Yeah..

Danielle: Who's your roomate? *laughs*

Liam: Of course. *laughs again* He's been talked about all around campus.

Danielle: *shrugs* I don't know what all the buzz is about.

Liam: Well he's actually one of the first travelers to fall in love with someone from the past and actually be able to keep him.

Danielle: Who did he love?

Liam: Louis Tomlinson.

Liam: Oh?

Danielle: He seems like a dork.

Liam: He's weird. *smiles*

Danielle: I've seen this blondie too.

Liam: Who?

Danielle: I don't know, this blonde guy.

Liam: If he's around Louis alot it's probably Niall. He was in that Ireland collapsation last week.

Danielle: He's adorable.

Liam: *nods* Yeah..

Danielle: But he's a bit shy.

Liam: He's just not use to the future yet. He'll relax eventually

Danielle: Well, do you know him?

Liam: He's kind of.. under my care.

Danielle: Aw!

Liam: *smiles a bit*

Danielle: Hey, I need to get home.

Liam: Alright. Let me just say bye to Harry real quick. *kisses her cheek then goes over to Harry & Louis who were sitting at a table* Guys, I gotta go. I'll see you back at the house when you get home?

Liam: Yeah, he's fine.. let's just get you home okay? *wraps his arm around her waist*

Danielle: *nuzzles his neck*

Liam: *smiles a bit & he walks her home*

*After He Goes Home Himself*

Liam: *walks into the house; taking off his coat* Niall?

Niall: *holding Liam hoodie; looks up at him*

Liam: *hangs his coat up then walks over sitting next to him* What's wrong?

Niall: N--Nothing... *hugs Liam's hoodie*

Liam: Niall, please tell me...

Niall: W---Why did you kiss me.... i--if you like her...?

Liam: Is that what this is about..? Niall... I don't know why I did.. but I don't regret it... I didn't start liking Danielle until the night of the ball...

Niall: I--I want you to be happy with her, I do... but.... that kiss meant something to me...

Liam: *smiles weakly* I know it's hard...

Niall: Hey.. if you like her.... go for her....

Liam: *nods* Just promise you'll come to me if something is wrong..?

Niall: *shrugs* I--I can't Liam..

Liam: Why?

Niall: 'Cause I will be upset a lot.... i'll be okay. I promise..

Liam: *hugs him tightly*

Niall: *burries face in his chest*

Liam: *rubs his back softly* I care about you so much, Nialler. Don't forget that.

Niall: I--I just don't understand...

Liam: I know, I know.

Niall: *gets up* Um... night. *runs upstairs; knocks gently on Louis and Harry's door*

Louis: *opens the door; grins* Niall!

Niall: C--Can I talk to you?... *tears forming*

Louis: *instantly grows worried* Yeah, of course. *pulls him into the room shutting the door & pulls him into a tight hug* Now what's wrong little leperchaun?

Niall: H--He's asking Danielle out...

Louis: *shocked* What?! *gets his mouth covered by Niall*

Niall: SHH!! H--he's asking her out...

Louis: *frowns then licks his hand*

Niall: *moves hand*

Louis: Why?!

Niall: I---I don't know... he likes her....

Louis: *sighs* Oh Ni.. *hugs him tightly*

Niall: *whimpers* H--He kissed me..

Louis: *bites his lip & looks at Harry for help*

Harry: I'll be back. *growls; walks downstairs* LIAM!!

Liam: *flinches dropping a plate on the floor* What?!

Harry: What did you do to Niall??

Liam: What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to him!

Harry: Why is he up there crying in Louis arms then?

Liam: He's what?

Harry: He's crying!

Liam: I... *doesn't know what to say*

Harry: I expected better from you Liam...

Liam: *scoffs* Don't even go there, Harry.

Harry: LIAM, YOU KISSED THE BOY! Made him feel something then just starting liking Danielle, that's bullshit.

Liam: It's not my fault! I never intended on kissing him! It just happened! And you've been bloody trying to play match maker for me for years now! Not to be rude but why is it so important for it to be Niall?! I mean, why can't you just be happy for me just this once?! You know I hate hurting people!

Harry: THEN WHY DO IT?!

Liam: It's complicated okay?! *rushes past him & goes upstairs to his room & slams his door shut*

Harry: *goes back upstairs* Louis?

Louis: *looks up* Hm?

Harry: How is Niall?...

Niall: *sleeping in his arms*

Louis: *sighs running a hand through his hair* He cried himself to sleep...

Harry: I'm sorry Liam's a jerk..

Louis: Don't be so hard on Liam, Haz.. I know what he's doing to Niall is bad but.. he's still a good person. And I guarantee you that his & Danielle's relationship will run it's course and be over and done with soon.

Harry: But Niall...

Louis: Will be hurt in the process but there's nothing we can do. Our minds don't control what our hearts want. And I do think deep down Liam wants Niall but is too afraid to shelter it out.

Harry: *runs fingers through Niall's hair* Poor Niall...

Louis: Yeah... *smiles weakly & looks at Harry before pecking his lips softly* I love you, Haz. I felt like I needed to say that.

Harry: I love you too cutie.

Louis: *smiles*

*The Next Morning*

Niall: *walks out seeing Liam* Oh um... where ya going?

Liam: A few travelers are coming back from their missions. So I'm heading over to my work.

Niall: *runs over and hugs him*

Liam: *confused but hugs him back*

Niall: I--Im sorry...

Liam: Why?

Niall: I--I want you too be happy...

Liam: I know.. and you know I want you happy too, right?

Niall: I know....

Liam: *kisses his forehead* I don't want you sad or upset... it hurts to know i'm causing you that pain..

Niall:I--Ill be okay..

Liam: Are you sure?

Niall:*Nods*

Liam: Okay then.

Niall: So when you seeing her again....?

Liam: Erm.. Friday.. we're going on a dinner date so yeah...

Niall: Oh...

Liam: Yeah..

Niall: *hugs him tighter*

Liam: *sighs then looks down at him*

Niall: *smiles slightly*

Liam: *hugs him back tightly before pulling away* I gotta go now. I'll see ya later. *leaves*

*A few months later; Liam comes home crying*

Niall: Liam?...

Liam: *looks at him for a moment before rushing upstairs to his room slamming the door shut*

Niall: *walks upstairs* L--Lili?... *opens the door*

Liam: *curled in a ball on his bed with his face burried in his pillow crying*

Niall: *walks over; hugs him tightly* Lili?...

Liam: *looks at him* D-Danielle... s-she.. *burries his face into Niall's chest crying instantly*

Niall: *hugs him tighter* She what Lili?...

Liam: S-s-she c-cheated on m-me...

Niall: *gasps; tightens his grip* She's not worth it then...

Liam: *shakes his head letting more tears fall*

Niall: *hugs him tightly* You have no idea how much I love you...

Liam: *looks at him with tears still flowing* Please just hold me...? *cuddles into his chest*

Niall: *cuddles him*

Liam: *slowly falls asleep*

*The Next Morning*

Niall: *nuzzling his neck*

Liam: *wakes up opening his eyes & meeting Niall's*

Niall: *smiles* Morning...

Liam: *smiles softly* Morning Nialler.

Niall: *nuzzles his neck again* How do you feel?...

Liam: Just numb.. *sighs; shuts his eyes a bit*

Niall: *kisses his cheek* I--I'm sorry....

Liam: *smiles weakly* It's fine... I had my suspicions about 2 months into the relationship but I let it go... it's my own fault for not realizing it at the first suspicion.

Niall: *sighs* I knew this would happen.... that's why I didn't want you to date her...

Liam: *nods a bit* Then why'd you tell me to?

Niall: You seemed so happy.... I--I couldn't stop you...

Liam: *nods & burries his face back in his chest*

Niall: *nuzzles his cheek*

Louis: *hesitently knocks on the door*

Niall: Come in!

Louis: *walks in* Are you guys okay..? You haven't came out since yesterday night..

Niall: *looks at Louis; smiles* I got him...

Louis: *nods a bit* Harry said he'll bring some breakfast up here for you guys. *walks back out*

Niall: *smiles at Liam* You're so adorable...

Liam: *blushes a bit*

Niall: *kisses his cheek* Look at that blush.

Liam: *blushes more then bites his lip & looks in his eyes*

Niall: Brown eyes.... always liked them...

Liam: *smiles a bit* I've always preferred blue.

Niall: How come?

Liam: *shrugs & randomly runs fingers through Niall's hair* I just always found them fascinatiing.

Niall: *blushes*

Liam: *nuzzles the crook of his neck*

Niall: What are you doing? *giggles*

Liam: Nuzzling you..

Niall: Kiss me?....

Liam: *looks at him* I don't wanna hurt you anymore than you already are...

Niall: Then be with me after you kiss me...

Liam: *nod a bit then kisses him gently*

Niall: *wraps arms around his neck*

Liam: *instinctly wraps his arms around his waist*

Niall: *pecks his lips before pulling away* You really mean it ?...

Liam: *nods with a small smile* I do.

*The End*
