Niall: *putting papers away; Liam walks in* Hi. *smiles*

Liam: *smiles* Hello.

Niall: Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Danielle?

Liam: Mm, she had to change our schedule around a bit. I won't be seeing her until 5.

Niall: Any idea who you want yet?

Liam: *shakes his head* But i'm so close to..

Niall: Well who makes you happier....?

Liam: You..

Niall: Then dump Danielle.

Liam: It's not that easy.  I've had so much history with her.

Niall: Liam... you took my virginity....

Liam: I know.

Niall: Do you even care that you did?! *tears form*

Liam: Of course I do!

Niall: *looks down* Let's just get this over with... we all know what you're here for. *lifts his shirt up*

Liam: I didn't come here for that.

Niall: Sure you didn't. That's all you ever come for...

Liam: *lifts his chin* I care about you, Niall. Okay? I don't just use you.

Niall: *tears fall* Yes you do... it's been 5 months you've known me and you've only held me ONCE. The rest was sex...

Liam: *doesn't know what to say*

Niall: Just admit it... you don't wanna be with me. You just wanna have sex with me..

Liam: I don't want to admit anything that's not true.

Niall: Then stop just coming over for sex! You hurt me and then just leave me to go be with Danielle....

Liam: Then tell me what to do. I don't want to hurt you...

Niall: Hold me... *tears falling*

Liam: *hugs him close to him & just holds him*

Niall: *winces* Gentle... last time we did it you bruised me.. so please be gentle.....

Liam: *loosens a bit; kisses his head* I'm sorry... and I mean for everything..

Niall: *nods; lays his head on his chest* I don't want you to go....

Liam: *sigs* I don't want to either.

Niall: Then don't... fuck her.

Liam: Unless you have a good excuse I could give her then sure.

Niall: Tell her you're sick and your best friend's taking care of you. *smiles*

Liam: She'll still come around, she's crazy.

Niall: I'll lock her out. *shrugs; kisses his cheek*

Liam: *hides his face in Niall's neck; blushing from the kiss*

Niall: *smiles & rubs his back* Cancel your date and you can have as many kisses as you want. *laughs*

Liam: I might take you up on that offer, but I do want to get to know you more.

Niall: *laughs* Well I'm Niall, I'm 21, and I was born in Ireland.

Liam: Well then it's nice to personally meet you, Niall. I am Liam. *cheesily shakes his hand*

Niall: *laughs* You're a cheese ball.

Liam: *smiles* What's your favorite color?

Niall: *smiles* My favorite is either blue or green.

Liam: Nice. Mines is purple.

Niall: So Mr. Liam, you gonna cancel your date?

Liam: Well Mr. Niall, I am. *kisses his nose* Just give me a few minutes to get her on the phone. *takes his phone out & dials her number*

Danielle: *answers* Yes, baby?

Liam: Hey, i'm going to have to cancel our date for tonight..

Danielle: Why?!

Liam: I'm not really feeling well right now. And don't worry, one of my best friends is taking care of me. *eyes Niall*

Danielle: Oh really and what's his name?

Liam: Um.. *looks at Niall for help*

Niall: *shrugs* Tell her.

Liam: Uh, it's Niall.

Danielle: *smiles* Okay, baby. I'll be over later with some soup.

Liam: Alright.

Danielle: I love you, babe.

Liam: Uh yeah, love you too. *hangs up*

Niall: Liammm, come here. I gotta take care of you since you're "sick". *laughs*

Liam: *chuckles sitting next to him* And how are you going to take care of me Dr. Niall?

Niall: *shrugs* What do you want, patient? *smiles*

Liam: *smiles* Just you being here with me helps.

Niall: You're not holding me anymore. *pouts*

Liam: *gently pulls him onto his lap & holds him* Now I am.

Niall: *kisses his cheek; blushing*

Liam: *smiles; nuzzling his cheek*

Niall: I want to be yours. *folds his arms* It's not fair.

Liam: *sighs* I know. I just need a bit more time to know what I want.

Niall: *looks down* I know..

Liam: *lifts his chin* But I promise to tell you as soon as I know.

Niall: *nods slowly* I understand....

Liam: *pecks his lips softly then lays his head on his shoulder*

Niall: A--Aren't I good enough?...

Liam: Of course you are. You're amazing.

Niall: Then why not me?

Liam: It's just confusing for me.

Niall: *nods & burries his face in his chest*

Liam: *kisses his head*

Harry: *walks in* Oh um.... hi, you must be Liam. I heard a lot about you. *laughs*

Niall: *blushes bright red*

Liam: Oh really? *looks at Niall with a smile*

Harry: Yeahh! *smiles* That boy loves you.

Niall: *hides his face in his hands*

Liam: Aww. *takes his hands from his face* Don't hide your adorable face.

Niall: *bright red* B---But!...

Harry: *laughing*

Liam: *kisses his lips to shut him up; pulls back leaning his forehead on his* Hush, cutie. *smiles*

Niall: *smiles*

Harry: Is this my cue to leave?

Liam: *laughs* You don't have to.

Harry: I don't wanna see my friend getting kissed so i'll leave! *waves and leaves*

Niall: *laughs* Harry is such a weirdo.

Liam: *smiles* I see.

Niall: Remind me I need to get him a boyfriend so he will leave us alone. *smiles big; kisses his cheek*

Liam: *laughs* Alright.

Niall: *lays his head on his lap and falls asleep*

Liam: *watches him sleep*

Harry: *walks in back in* I need to grab some papers and... AWW!! *smiles*

Liam: Shh! *whispers* Please be quiet. I don't wanna wake him up

Harry: Why? He slept last night.

Liam: I know, but he just looks peaceful sleeping..

Harry: *laughs* We all know he's adorable.

Liam: *looks at Niall's face* He is..

Harry: Liam, i'm not trying to tell you what to do but i'm telling you that boy would give you the world if you'd let him.

Liam: *nods slowly* I would do the same for him.

Niall: *stirs a little*

Harry: You should choose him. All the adorableness could be yours. *laughs*

Liam: *nods* Yeah..

Niall: *moves around*

Harry: Nialler, it's okay, calm down. *to Liam* This is why I don't like when he sleeps during the day... he has nightmares.

Liam: *worried* About what?

Harry: *sighs* You really wanna know?

Liam: *nods*

Harry: Of you... when you used to have sex with him and leave him hurt... it kinda left him emotional and now he has nightmares..

Liam: *looks down at Niall* I caused this..?

Niall: *squirms in his sleep and whimpers*

Harry: Yeah...

Liam: *trying not to cry; whispers* I'm so sorry Niall..

Niall: *whimpers*

Harry: I--I hate seeing him like this.... please don't leave him...

Liam: *holds Niall closer to him protectivly* I don't want to leave him.

Niall: *subconsciously cuddles into him*

Harry: What about Danielle?

Liam: *sighs* I guess she'll be single.

Harry: *smiles* Make him happy, Liam. Treat him right.

Niall: *stirs a little; opens his eyes and blinks slowly*

Liam: *looks down at him& gives him a small smile* Hi.

Niall: *smiles* Hi, cutie.

Liam: *pecks his lips* How was your nap?

Niall: *shrugs* Same old, same old.

Liam: *bites his lip* I'm not gonna leave you, okay?

Niall: But Danielle...

Liam: She'll have to find a new boyfriend to lug around.

Niall: *smiles as tears form* T---Thank you..

Liam: *smiles softly * There's no need to thank me... but I have you to thank.. 'cause I know what I want now. And you're who I want..

Niall: *hugs him tightly; tears falling* I---I love you....

Harry: *smiles* Aww, this is like a movie.

Liam: *blushes* I love you too, and Harry, don't ruin the moment.

Harry: *shrugs* It is though.

Niall: We so need to find him a boyfriend...

Liam: Hell to the yes to that so he ruins their own moment.

Niall: Only problem is all the guys here besides you are ugly. *smiles*

Harry: *pouts*

Liam: Well I know this one guy..

Harry: IS HE CUTE?! WHAT'S HIS NAME!? DOES HE HAVE STRAIGHT OR CURLY HAIR AND WHAT COLOR EYES?!

Liam: *holding back a laugh* He's like a brother to me so I don't think like that. His name is Louis. His hair is straight and his eyes are blue.

Harry: SHOW ME, SHOW ME, SHOW ME, SHOW ME!!!!

Niall: *groans* Harold Edward Styles, shut the fuck up.

Liam: *busts out laughing*

Harry: SHOW ME!

Niall: Fucking show him because he's driving me nuts!

Liam: *takes out his wallet & shows him a picture of him & Louis* That's Lou.

Harry: OH MY GOSH, HE'S ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *jumps up and down* AM I HIS TYPE?!

Niall: By the way, babe, you look adorable in that picture. *steals it* My picture now.

Liam: *laughs then kisses his cheek* And I think so, Harry. He likes guys with curly hair. *smiles*

Harry: INVITE HIM OVER!

Niall: *takes out his own wallet and puts it in; smiles*

Liam: If I do will you shut up?

Harry: *nods*

Niall: *laughs* Babe, you got anymore pictures?

Liam: Kind of.

Niall: SHOW ME! *grabs his wallet*

Liam: *laughs* I have mostly pictures of me and my mum.

Niall: I want one. *smiles* She is my future mother in law after all.

Liam: Then pick one. I'm going to make a quick phone call. *stands up leaving the room while he looks through his wallet; calls Danielle*  Hey, we need to talk..

Danielle: About what, baby?

Liam: *sighs* I don't want to be with you.

Danielle: *laughs* Baby, you must be really sick.

Liam: No, i'm not. I said it to get out of dinner with you. And I can't do this anymore.

Danielle:There's someone else isnt there?

Liam: *sighs* Yeah.

Danielle: We can be friends though, right?

Liam: Of course.

Danielle: *laughs* Niall's a lucky guy.

Liam: H-how'd you know it was him?

Danielle: Liam James, it is so obvious that you love that boy.

Liam: *feels himself blush*

Danielle: I expect to be invited to the wedding, Payne.

Liam: Of course, Peazer.

Danielle: Take care of him for me? He doesn't deserve to be hurt.

Liam: I have no intentions on hurting him.

Danielle: I gotta go, Liam, my dad's calling from the hospital.

Liam: Okay, alright. Tell your dad I said hi.

Danielle: Kay, bye loser. *hangs up*

Niall: *still looking through pictures* Baby, it's not fair you look adorable in all of them.

Liam: *walks back in; laughs* Are not.

Niall: ARE TOOO!! I want them all *puts them in his wallet* You'll just have to get more. *smiles innocently*

Liam: *chuckles* You're sooo lucky you're cute. *kisses his nose*

Niall: *giggles* Babe, you got one more call to make.

Liam: To who?

Harry: LOUIS!!!!

Niall: *starts laughing*

Liam: Ohhh, right.

Niall: *kicks his butt* Go, baby.

Liam: I'm going, i'm going! *leaves the room to call him*

Louis: *answers when he calls* Hello?

Liam: Hey, Louis.

Louis: Oh hey, Liam. What's up?

Liam: Not much, but I have a question to ask.

Louis: What is it?

Liam: I know this guy and he really wants to meet you 'cause well he likes you.. could you come over to the office?

Louis: Sure, but is his hair curly?

Liam: *laughs* Very.

Louis: I'm on my way! *hangs up*

Liam: *shakes his head laughing and hangs up then goes back in* He's on his way.

Harry: YAY! *jumps up and down*

Niall: Liammm, you were such a cute baby! *looking at the pictures still*

Liam: Why are you looking at my baby pictures?

Niall: *shrugs* They were in your wallet! *smiles*

Liam: *rolls his eyes then sits him on his lap*

Niall: Look at you, baby! You're so adorable. *laughs*

Harry: *looks down* Where is Louis?!

Liam: He takes his time a lot. *shrugs*

*There's a knock at the door*

Harry: *jumps up and rushes to the door and opens it; smiles* Hi.

Niall: *laughing*

Louis: *smiles* Hello.

Liam: *smirks* Hey, Lou.

Louis: Hi. *ruffles Harry's hair* He is VERY curly.

Liam: *bursts out laughing*

Harry: *pouts* Don't mess up my hair.

Niall: He's very OCD about his hair.

Louis: Sorry, I just like curly hair...

Liam: Mhmm.

Harry: *smiles* It's okay. *messes up Louis' hair*

Louis: *fixes his hair* Muh haiiir.

Liam: *laughs* He's OCD-ic too.

Harry: *smirks; kisses his cheek*

Niall: *shrugs* Harry is very straight forward.

Louis: I see and I like it.

Harry: *smiles*

Niall: He's very open, like, he won't lead you on if he's not into you.

Liam: Well that's good 'cause I don't want him leading Lou on... he falls really easy.

Louis: Hey!

Harry: So do I... and I usually pay for it too... *tears form*

Louis: Aw. *hugs him*

Harry: *smiles slightly* I wouldn't hurt you...

Louis: I wouldn't hurt you either.

Niall: *looks at Liam; sad*

Liam: What's wrong, love?

Niall: I don't feel that well....

Liam: Tell me what hurts.

Niall: My chest... *whimpers*

Liam: Why does it hurt, hun? *holds him close*

Niall: I--I don't know... *eyes watering*

Harry: *worried* Nialler...

Liam: How bad does it hurt from 1-10?

Niall: 8...

Liam: Maybe we should get you checked.

Niall: NO!

Liam: But if it hurts that much there's something wrong and I don't want you in pain.

Niall: I--I'll be fine...

Liam: Has this happened to you before?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: Why haven't you seen a doctor about it ?

Niall: 'Cause heart failure runs in my family...

Harry: *eyes widen*

Liam: W-what?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: Why didn't you tell me this sooner?

Niall: I didn't want you to freak out...

Liam: Of course i'm going to freak out. I love you and I don't want to ever lose you..

Niall: You're not gonna lose me...

Liam: How do I know that?

Niall: *sighs* I don't know, Liam...

Liam: *lays his chin on his shoulder* I wish I could make it all go away..

Niall: *smiles* I know, baby... I'm gonna be okay though..

Liam: I'll spoil you rotten...

Niall: *smiles* I don't need that, baby, I just need you to be there for me.

Liam: I know but I like spoiling you. *kisses his cheek*

Niall: *giggles* Will you go with me to the doctor?

Liam: Of course.

*Next morning*

Niall: *wakes Liam up* Baby... wake up.

Liam: *stirs awake* Huh?

Niall: I got an emergency doctor's appointment if you wanna go...

Liam: Oh yeah. Lemme get dressed first. *quickly gets dressed*

*At the Doctor's*

Doctor: Good news or bad news first?

Niall: *looks at Liam*

Liam: *holds his hand* What's going on with him?

Doctor: Good news is he will be fine, bad news is.. he has a heart condition.

Niall: *tears form*

Liam: How bad is it?

Doctor: He just needs some meds to control it that's all.

Niall: *whimpers*

Liam: *rubs his back* It'll be okay, Niall.

Niall: Baby, I don't like meds...

Liam: Nobody does, but it helps.

Doctor: Oh so you two are together?

Niall: *looks at Liam*

Liam: *nods*

Niall: *smiles; holds Liam close* He's my baby.

Doctor: Well, Niall, you're lucky. He's adorable.

Niall: *holds Liam closer* MINE!

Liam: *laughs* Don't worry, baby, i'm yours. *kisses his head*

Doctor: So you wouldn't even think about dating me?

Niall: *growls & tightens his grip on Liam*

Liam: Well if I were single maybe but I'm not so you're out of luck.

Doctor: Will you ever be?

Niall: *growls again*

Liam: I don't plan on being single.

Doctor: Do you think you will be?

Liam: *shrugs*

Niall:*tears form*

Liam: I don't think i'll be single nor do I plan to because I'm with Niall and I love him.

Niall: *tears falling*

Liam: *hugs him* Please don't cry...

Niall: You said you didn't know if you'll be with me....

Liam: I do want to be with you. You know that. I'm just... ugh.. i'm pissed off 'cause this doctor is not doing his fucking job. Instead he's trying to flirt with a patient's boyfriend.

Niall: You're mine... he can't have you...

Liam: I know that, and he can't have you. *kisses his lips*

Niall: *giggles and pulls away*

Doctor: *glaring* I don't want Niall, I want you, Liam.

Niall: *looks up at liam*

Liam: Well you can't have me.

Doctor: Will you call me if you guys break up?

Niall: *clenches fists* Baby, DO. NOT. ANSWER. THAT.

Liam: *stays silent*

Niall: *glares at the doctor* You touch my baby again, you die.

Liam: *kisses Niall's head*

Niall: *smiles* Only I can touch him..

Liam: *smiles back*

Doctor: *shrugs* Well i'm not giving him the meds.

Niall: W---What...?

Liam: You're fucked up. Just because I won't date you?

Doctor: I want you. End of story.

Liam: Well I don't want you, and Niall needs the medication. You can't just not give it to him. You'd be responsible for anything that happens to him. And i'm sure you wouldn't want to be sued.

Doctor: *shrugs* Oh well.

Liam: You're sick.

Doctor: So have you changed your mind about going out with me? Or you gonna let him die?

Liam: Can we have a few minutes alone, please..?

Doctor: *nods and leaves*

Niall: *looks up*

Liam: I don't know what to do, Niall...

Niall: Y--You're actually considering this?...

Liam: I don't want to! But I don't want anything happening to you!

Niall: *looks down; nodding* Then do it...

Liam: I don't wanna hurt you either... that's why it's so difficult.

Niall: *shrugs* What's more important to you... my health or my happiness?

Liam: Both.

Niall: Well you gotta pick one....

Liam: *sighs* I pick your health then... I could never forgive myself if something happened to you..

Niall: *nods* I understand...

Liam: *kisses him deeply then pulls back leaning his head on his* I love you, Niall. You know that.

Niall: *nods* I know....

Liam: I want you to know that nobody can change my feelings for you. EVER.

Niall: *nods*

Doctor: *walks back in; smiles* Have we said our goodbyes?

Liam: *sighs & nods*

Doctor: *walks over to Liam*

Niall: *runs out of the room*

Liam: *bites his lip*

Doctor: You really are a cutie.

Liam: I guess.

Doctor: So romantic dinner by the fireplace sound, okay?

Liam: *nods*

Doctor: What's wrong?

Liam: Nothing.

Doctor: Obviously something's wrong.

Liam: It's really nothing.

Doctor: Tell me, i'll listen

Liam: I just.. I love Niall, okay? It wasn't really fair to him. I hurt him before and by doing this i'm hurting him even more..

Doctor: You'll learn to love me I promise.

Liam: *looks down*

Harry: *storms In* YOU PROMISED, LIAM!

Liam: I had no fucking choice, Harry!

Harry: HE CUT HIMSELF, LIAM!

Liam: *goes pale* H-he w-what?

Harry: He's on route to the hospital!

Liam: *doesn't think before punching the doctor* YOU FUCKING PRICK! *starting to tear up* LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! YOU MADE ME HURT THE ONLY PERSON WHO I TRULY LOVED! *kicks him before breaking down*

Harry: You wanna come see him?....

Liam: *nods weakly*

*They arrive*

Niall: *looks over at the door when Liam walks in*

Liam: Oh god. *sits next to him holding onto his hand with tears running down his face; burries his face in his arms* This is all my fault..

Niall: N--No.... it's okay....

Liam: Niall, you're in the hospital from cutting! *trembling* And I'm the reason why you did it..

Niall: I just missed you....

Liam: You could have called me. *lays his chin on his arm*

Niall: You were with him...

Liam: I don't care if I was.. I care about you. I would have left in a heart beat knowning you got everything you need and needed me..

Niall: I don't want you to leave....

Liam: I'm not leaving you. Ever.

Niall: Promise...

Liam: I promise.

Niall: How was the doctor?

Liam: He's quite delusional

Niall: How so?

Liam: He thinks he can just make me fall in love with him.

Niall: You're mine...

Liam: I know. *kisses his shoulder*

Niall: You love me... right?

Liam: I love you so much it hurts. A good hurt.

Niall: *smiles* Hand?... *reaches for his hand*

Liam: *holds his hand*

Niall: *giggles*

Harry: *walks in* That's better.

Liam: *kisses his cheek* Mine...

Harry: *laughs* I get it. He's yours.

Niall: *yawns*

Liam: You tired?

Niall: *nods; yawning*

Liam: You should get some sleep then.

Niall: No... you're here...

Liam: I don't want you tired though.

Niall: *yawns* I don't... I don't care...

Liam: *kisses his head* I do

Harry: Let Niall stay awake. He missed you a lot.

Liam: *sighs* Alright.

Niall: *smiles* You smell good, baby.

Liam: *chuckles* You too, love. *nuzzles his cheek*

Niall: Nu-uh, I need a shower.

Liam: Mmm. *lays his head back on his shoulder*

Niall: Come in the bed with me. *smiles*

Liam: You sure?

Niall: *nods*

Liam: *carefully lays next to him on the bed on his side*

Niall: *smiles; cuddles into him* Night night...

Harry: *laughs*

Liam: *laughs kissing his nose cuddling* Night night, love.

Niall: *falls asleep*

Harry: Keep him close.. I don't want his nightmares to happen..

Liam: *nods holding Niall closer*

Niall: *whines* Liammm.

Liam: What, baby?

Niall: Don't movee meee.

Liam: *pouts* Fiiine. *burries his face in his hair*

Niall: *giggles* Baby, why did you wanna move me?

Liam: I'm protective of you. *kisses his cheek*

Niall: *smiles* Okay, then you can move me.

Liam: Mmm, I thought you were sleepy.

Niall: I am.

Liam: Mhm. *snuggles him*

Niall: *giggles* Tickles.

Liam: How does that tickle?

Niall: Your hairrr.

Liam: *smiles then flicks his hair around* It's fluffy for some odd reason.

Niall: It's beautiful. *laughs*

Liam: So is yours.

Niall: *shakes his head*

Liam: Yes it is.

Niall: Promise you'll always be mine?

Liam: I promise that I'll always be yours.

*The End*
