『16』Periwinkle Blue Eyes

"Gregory, I'm here!" Niall whisper yelled at his brother, while gesturing his hand for him to come over. Greg quickly walked over to him and closed the bathroom door, he was just thankful that his little brother isn't crying, but he can still see it in the tiny blue eyes that he was beyond scared. Niall didn't hesitate to hug his big brother the second he walked in, burrying his chest in the fabric of his brother's pajamas.

"Nialler, wake up. Are you okay?" Niall hears someone's voice trying to disturb him up from his slumber, the blondie groaned while scrunching up his face in annoyance, without even opening his eyes Niall shakes his head and tried to go back to sleep. He hears a tired exhale before feeling someone gently pulling his arm up.

"Niaaall" The voice whined at him, it took the Irish lad a few seconds to realize who the voice had belonged to, it was (Y/N). Immediately he arched his back with a deep breath and rubbed his tired eyes before fluttering them open, he didn't want to annoy you despite all the other shit that's been happening today.

"We're here already, but erm, are you alright Nialler? You look terrible" You tilted your head while furrowing your eyebrows, you see that Niall's bright blue orbs are slighty more dimmer, in fact his whole eyes are a shade of red which concerned you a bit,

"Gee, thanks (Y/N). Really appreciate it" Niall joked sarcastically with a cheeky grin, you lightly chuckle while hitting his shoulder.

"But I'm alright, why'd ya ask?" Niall questioned, lifting an eyebrow up. He sees your soft smile slowly fade as you began to stammer, not taking your eyes off of examining his, and pausing for a short moment forgetting to answer Niall's question.

"You've um, you were crying in your sleep" You stuttered to him, did the blond boy have a nightmare of some sort? You weren't sure which is why you asked in the first place, earlier the car had been pulled to a stop and you were woken up by Harry's mellow tone of voice by your ear, he warmly smiles once you woke up and left the van first. You then looked over at Niall and see that he was leaning his head onto your shoulder while snoring quietly, it was lovely at first until you feel your shoulder was wet. You notice your shirt on the place of your shoulder, it had a wet stain on it, straight away you began to shake Niall's arm while anxiously calling his name, which then brought you here.

"Wait, what? I was?" Niall widened his eyes before quickly placing two of his fingers on one of them and feel the wetness on the skin around it. He didn't realize he'd cried in his sleep, he didn't even notice the numb in his eyes when he woke up, at least not until now. He tried to recollect his memories and maybe remember if he had some sort of nightmare or dream that would make him cry so much, Niall never cries really, even though he could be sensitive it would usually take a boulder for him to finally tear up, not even his band mates ever saw him cry, except for that X Factor moment.

"Did you remember having a nightmare or anything?" You questioned the Irish man while crouching down in front of his shins, being a little too close to Niall's personal space but he really didn't mind, it made the blood rush in his cheeks actually at your sudden position.

"No, I don't think so. But we should get out of the car now, we can't stay here for very long" Niall nervously chuckled and looked away from your view as he didn't want you to notice how much of a coy mess he is. He really appreciated your worrisome to him, it was a mood booster and heartening in his opinion. Niall held onto the van door handle as you nodded, the both of you exited the van and slumply walk over towards the big concert hall standing in front of the parking lot, it was weirdly bigger than you had thought but then again the band had millions of fans so they had to find a big place for a few thousand people to fit, right?

You and Niall head towards the entrance of the concert hall and once you entered the building the both of you fixed eyes on the neat setting, the chairs surrounding the entire room looks clean and the stage has an interesting shape to it, on top of that it was the perfect size, not too big and not too small either, it was spacious and you could tell that you and the boys would have loads of fun messing around with eachother tomorrow. You then see a familiar sillhouette standing at the other end of the stage, you squinted your eyes to see who that might be and once you saw those dark brown spikey locks immediately you smiled.
