Broken
Rules

one direction AU slash
Niall and Zayn have been on a few
dates, and Niall is completely stoked, but frustrated, too. There
is the slightest possibility that Zayn could be Niall's new
boyfriend, and Liam agrees, but it's just the time that Niall
is frustrated with. There have been multiple scenarios where Zayn
could come out, and ask Niall and Niall says yes. Niall even
makes sure to walk extra slow with Zayn just in case Zayn decides
to ask the blonde.
"I'm sure he will come around." Harry squeezes
Niall's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, but that is no
use.
Sure, Harry is one of Niall's close friends, and Niall loves
Harry to death, but Liam is better in these type of
situations.
"Yeah, guess so. Ya'seen Li?" Niall looks past all
of the circles of teenagers giving him glares. He just wants to
find his friend and sob into his strong shoulders.
"He went with Louis to the football field."
The late bell rings, and Harry gathers his books. He waves Niall
goodbye as he rushes off to his first class. Niall isn't sure
if he should go down to the field or just head to class. Liam and
Louis might be having a private session of personal things, or
whatever, but Niall needs Liam so he decides to go, despite all
of his thoughts.
Niall makes his way, slowly, down the stairs that lead to the
football field. There's no sight of Liam or Louis anywhere,
and Niall is just about to leave when he starts hearing familiar
voices. He turns his head towards the bleachers, and bites his
tongue to hold back his scream, but that doesn't work because
Louis and Liam quckly release each other and spread away.
Louis' face is a deep shade of red, one Niall has never seen
before, and Liam doesn't even meet Niall's gaze.
"Please don't tell Harry." Louis breaks the
uncomfortable silence. He doesn't even notice the way
Liam's shoulders tense when he said Harry's
name.
"I won't." He says, but it's directed to Liam.
Niall would tell Harry, but
it's Liam. Sweet, fun, innocent Liam. He
couldn't do that to his bestfriend.
"Thanks." Louis mumbles, and shuffles down the stairs
of the bleachers. He nods Niall goodbye before giving Liam an
"I'm sorry" look and rushing off.
"What happened?" Niall sits in front of Liam. He's
known that Liam has had a burning crush on Louis for ages and he
knows that Liam is relatively close to Harry, and that Liam
doesn't mean to hurt him.
"I don't know. We were talking about Zayn, and, of
course, Louis cracked a few jokes about my appearance. But I took
it the wrong way, obviously, and I kissed him and you came."
Liam rushes the words out of his mouth -- but he still won't
look at Niall.
"Well, you have a crush, Li."
"Harry. Poor Harry. What if he finds out? I'm
dead." This time Liam is the one crying on Niall's
shoulder.
Niall decides, obviously, that it would be best to ask for advice
on Zayn later.
