Prologue

hey dudes, in here you can get a feel for my writing style and the relationships :)

"Seriously, Niall? Another pack of gummy sharks? Dont you know whats in these?" Liam groans, but tossing a few sharks into his mouth anyways.

"Tasty delightfulness." Niall responds, gazing at the shark in his hand with adoration before closing his eyes and enjoying the fruity flavor.

"Tasty carcinogens, thats what." Liam corrects, shoving the small, plastic package away from him to prevent further poisioning of his body.

"You're the one to talk! I know you eat twinkies, by the pound!" Niall bites back, swiveling around in his black, circle chair to face the defendant.

Liam rolls his brown eyes, but cant help the smile that grows on his face, "Okay, you win. We'll both die when we're thirty."

"Better yet, we can do it together. Romeo and Juliet style, death by gummy sharks and twinkies." Niall grinned, showing off jagged teeth.

"Sounds like a plan." Liam agreed, getting off Niall's bed to confirm their deal.

Their fingers intertwined, creating an unbreakable promise even stronger than vows: a pinky swear.

"Liam?" Maura, Niall's mother, called and knocked on the wooden door, "Are you staying for dinner, sweetie? We're having corn, mash, and roast beef."

Liam shot a questioning look at Niall, to which the blond boy shrugged. 'It's up to you' He mouthed.

Liam's eyes widened, not liking the indefinite answer, 'I dont eat meat'

'Then dont eat dinner here' Niall responded, watching as Liam grasped his bedsheet in frustration.

'I dont want to be rude!' The brown haired boy responded, his eyebrows joining together in worry.

"Liam?" Maura repeated, her hand reaching for the doorknob.

"He's going home for dinner, but thanks," Niall answered his mom, stopping her from entering the room, "Did you make it or did gma?"

"Gma." Maura shouted from behind her as she left to do a load of laundry.

"Great, my food is probably going to be spat in." Niall grumbles, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Thanks for talking to your mom for me, i just get nervous." Liam slightly blushed, scratching his arm.

"No worries, it's hard to think a big guy like you would be so timid." Niall commented, staring at the  carpeted ground infested with crumbs.

Usually, if someone other than Oliver said that, Liam would be upset. But, Niall was known to be a little impulsive, so he let it slide.

"How about we play some games?" Liam suggested, already setting up the station and placing in a war game.

Niall sighed, letting his crossed hands fall, "Sorry for saying that you're timid. Sometimes i just get so annoyed by my gma being here. She just rubs me the wrong way."

"Hey, its okay Ni, lets just play some games and forget about it for a little bit." Liam softly responded, accepting Niall's apology.

"You always know how to make me feel better." Niall smiled, letting out one more sigh of his worries and joining his friend on the ground.

~*~

"Please, Niall! Just do this for me?" Maura begged, racing around her kitchen and swinging open cabinet doors, "It's just some ketchup or whatever. Gma knows the recipie, please just go with her, you know shes senile and cant go alone."

"Can you? I'll peel the potatoes and boil the corn or whatver you need me to do." Niall whined, slightly stamping his foot on the dirtied, while tile in protest.

There was nothing more annoying to him than being alone in his car with gma.

The warm, sweet scent of roast filled his nostirls, making it hard for him to be completely annoyed. He knew he was feasting tonight.

"No, i know what im doing. The keys are on the counter and gma is in the mud room putting on her shoes. Thank you, Niall." Maura sighs, pulling out a small, black pot and filling it up with some water.

Her gray bun sags down, resting on shoulder as she hunched over the silver sink.

"Mom! Please, you know i do-"

"Niall James Horan! If i ask you to do something then i expect you to do it! Now, take your gma to the store, this instant!" Maura shouts, finally snapping.

Niall took her comments personally with a heavy heart. He tried to tell himself that it was only the stress talking, after all she was the only one in the house that worked and they were a couple days behind on bills.

He didnt bother responding, knowing he might set her off again.

He walked over to the counter and snatched the keys off the white counter, clasping them in his palm so they didnt jingle.

"Bye, ma. Love you." He mumbled quite angrily, slipping on his shoes and joining his gma out in the car.
