Zayn often found himself falling too hard for Niall, considering the circumstances. But how could he resist? Niall was everything Zayn had ever wanted. Zayn loved protecting his brother, and loved watching Niall smile. It was the best thing he had ever seen, watching Niall’s blue eyes light up and his lips to part slightly. Zayn really did love Niall, and did everything to take care of him. But sometimes, he had trouble. After all, he was a teenage boy looking after his handicapped little brother. Sometimes things got complicated.
“No,” Niall said, shaking his head.
“Niall, we have to go to school,” Zayn tried to coax Niall out of the house and towards his car.
“No,” Niall repeated, staring off into the distance and not moving.
“Please,” Zayn begged, not wanting to have to carry Niall—Niall hated that.

“Yes,” Zayn smiled, “I will draw with you when we get home, okay? Now let’s go, we have to get to school,”

Zayn walked Niall through the halls, his hand still entwined with Niall’s, ignoring the looks and rude whispers being spoken.
“Don’t want to go,” Niall mumbled as we arrived in front of the special education room.
“It’s okay, Nialler,” Zayn whispered, pulling his brother in for a hug, “I’ll meet you for lunch, okay? And then I’ll be here right after school and we can go home and paint,”
Niall simply nodded, getting distracted by as shiny object across the hallway.
“Hey,” Zayn said, trying to regain his attention, “Class time,”
