Ten - Relaxation

-The Tenth Chapter-

[Zayn’s POV]

The next day I sat in Niall’s room that Liam had generously made up for him, watching Niall get ready for his day with Louis. Niall kept nervously adjusting his collar, trying to make it perfect each time. He let out a frustrated sigh and I could only chuckle at his simple annoyance. I got up and walked over to my best mate, fixing his collar to fit his definition of perfection. He grinned at me and patted my shoulder and said, “It could’ve been you.”

I pursed my lips and looked down, feeling suddenly awkward, but then Niall burst out laughing and his face turned red, “You should’ve seen the look on your face! I’m only kidding mate, you’re not my type at all!”

I let out a sigh of relief and punched his shoulder, “Fuck you.” Niall only chuckled and ran his hand through my hair, messing it up. I scowled at him and pointed to the door, “Leave.”

“It’s my room bud.”

“Technically it’s Liam’s.” I said, stroking my chin as if I were thinking. Niall made a noise and I saw him roll his eyes, “What?”

“Who gives a shit about Liam.”

“I-I do.” I said, suddenly feeling weaker than Niall, “I care about him a lot.” I whispered as I sat down on the bed, watching Niall fully turn, his hand placed on his hips.

“That may be, but does he care about you? I mean the way he acted yesterday was rude. He’s a douche Zayn.”

“Niall, he had the right to be mad, still does too.”

“Yeah? And why’s that?” Niall chuckled, obviously just thinking I was defending my beloved boyfriend.

“I made him feel like I was just using him for views and popularity.” I sighed, looking down to my hands, feeling the shift in Niall’s attitude. It was clear that he didn’t like Liam, and it was clear that Liam didn’t like him, but without looking at Niall I could tell he felt sorry for him.

“How’d you do that?”

“Because I kind of accidently said it earlier on in the relationship. That’s why he’s bitter towards my videos. I just thought he was being difficult, but he was secretly hurt. I know you don’t like him and everything and think he’s a bad person, but Niall, I’m just as bad, if not, then more.”

Niall sat down beside me and let out a heavy breath, “Take him out on a date, and don’t bring your camera. Do something with him; just don’t take that bloody camera. I may not be too fond of the kid, but he makes you happy, and a happy Zayn makes for a happy Niall. So I’ll help you fix this if you want, but seriously, take him out somewhere.”

Niall then stood, and left the room, on his way to meet Louis to do whatever they had planned. I slowly got up myself and walked downstairs, heading towards the living room where my shooting and editing supplies were. I looked at them once I stood in the room, but didn’t sit. I made the choice of packing all my gear away safely in their cases and put my camera stands away and picked everything up and headed for the door. As I reached the door I remembered I forgot my other bag in Liam’s bedroom, so I quietly, but quickly, made my way up to his room.

I lightly opened the door and saw Liam still sweetly sleeping in his bed, a smile on his face – he must be dreaming. I grabbed my bag and hovered over Liam’s sleeping body. I bent down and kissed his lips gently and left his bedroom, making sure to not wake him up.
