10 Years Old:
Liam and Niall were sitting at lunch when Niall heard his two friends, Kyla and Racheal, fighting again. But he was really confused. They were best friends, why would they want to fight? Friends were supposed to get along. He really hoped they would stay friends after this, it would be very sad if they didn't.
"Liam," Niall said quietly to the boy sitting next to him
"Yeah, Niall," He replied in a whisper to match his friend's.
"Promise me we'll always be friends" Niall continued looking at the fighting girls. Liam looked in the direction Niall was. He saw the two, angry girls and smiled sadly.
Liam knocked into Niall's side to get his attention. Niall looked at him to see a small smile on his face
"I promise, Niall. We'll always be friends...best friends."
Niall smiled at him, "Thanks, Li. You're the best,"
"You are too, Ni," Liam said fondly
They finished up their food, slowly forgetting about the two girls arguing when they made up seconds later.
"Hey! Do you wanna go play on the playground?" Niall asked a few minutes later.
"Race you there!" Liam yelled.
"You're on!"

14 years old:
"Oh, come on! What was that, Payne!" Niall yelled loudly at his best friend.
"I'm just playing the game," Liam smirked.
"Unfairly..." The blonde grumbled, "Cheater,"
Liam laughed at the boy's poor attitude. He paused their game of FIFA and stood up, "I'll be back in a second. I have to take a wiz."
"Okay," Niall said looking up at the brunette, "I'll miss you!"
"I'll miss you, too!" Liam replied with a grin.
A few minutes later Liam came back and he saw Niall staring out the window, seemingly at nothing, with a conflicted look upon his face.
"What's wrong, Nialler? Is everything okay?" Liam asked coming over to sit next to him, picking up on his mood immediately.
"Um...yeah. I'm fine," Niall looked at Liam with a shaky grin.
Liam rose an eyebrow and Niall sighed, "Fine, fine. You caught me,"
Liam nodded smugly. he knew his best friend better than himself. "Spill"
"It's just that... I mean... Ugh, I have to tell you something," Niall hesitated, chewing on his bottom lip.
"Yes..." Liam prompted.
"Liam, I don't fancy girls," Niall stated firmly, "I'm gay."
Liam paused for a second, "Oh,"
"Yeah, um, so yeah," Niall stuttered, awkwardly, in an attempt to fill the silent space.
"So?"Liam asked confused, "Does that mean I have to stop kicking your ass at FIFA?"
Niall sighed gratefully at Liam's easy acceptance of his biggest secret.
"No, ya wanker. You can't stop doing something you ever did to begin with." Niall laughed heartily.
Liam rolled his eyes and picked up his controller and the two boys continued their game.
"I think I might be too, y'know," Liam said quietly after a few minutes of comfortable silence, "Be gay I mean."
