"Only in the darkness can you see the stars🌌"

~ Martin Luther King Jr.

"What is the boy doing?"Louis muttered to himself when he saw Harry back in his sight, but this time he's not alone, instead a boy of nearly their age was literally clinging to Harry.

The boy looked frail and weak, as if he'd not eaten for days and he was basically naked, except for the Harry's shirt which covered him. Partially.

As the boys came near, Louis' eyes raked up and down his body.

Even though the boy was looking really distraught with cuts and bruises scarring his beautiful pale skin, there was something in him which captivated Louis.

The boy was really attractive, so much so, it felt like un-earthly. Like an angel. Is that even possible?

God! Louis is straight.

The taller lad motioned Louis to pass him the water bottle and offered the poor boy some water.

Niall looked gratefully towards Harry, then Louis as he chucked the whole bottle with water spilling from both the corners of his lips.

And as for Louis, he was simply confused but enthralled.

He then murmured a thank you to Harry as he returned the water bottle to him and wiped the water dripping from his face.

"Lou, meet Niall" Harry shouted, wrapping his arm around Niall's torso.

"Niall, this is Louis, my house mate" Harry whispered into Niall's ears as Niall gave Louis a shy smile.

Louis smiled back at him, his smile being more brighter and cheerful, even though he's quite skeptical about the mysterious lad.

"Niall, sit here, be comfortable" Harry smiled as he opened the back door of the car, signalling Niall to sit on the back.

Niall looked at him, with confused eyes as it took a minute for him to understand what he's supposed to do. It's not his fault, though, he'd never seen a car in his entire life.

Niall left out a whimper as he saw Harry slamming the door because he didn't want the brunette to go but then he smiled to himself when he saw him sitting in the front seat with Louis.

"Who's this?" Louis whispered in Harry's ears as soon as he entered the car.

"Are you suffering from Amnesia? Cause as long as I remember, I just introduced him to you" Harry hissed.

"No, are you suffering from it, cause as long as I remember Harry Styles never helped random strangers to get home" Louis snapped and it took everything in Harry to not roll his eyes at the smaller lad.

"Did you shag him behind the bushes?" Louis asked quirking his brow.

"What no!" Harry pull out a disgusted face "I found him crying behind the bushes, naked. So, I decided to help him as I'm a very nice human being. Moreover, what will Amy think if I cheated on her?"

Louis snort out a humourless laugh.

"First of all, Amy doesn't give a fuck about you, Harry!" Louis said between his laughs which made Harry pout.

"Secondly, doesn't this guy look a bit creepy?" He asked in a serious tone pointing to a puzzled Niall, his face scrunched in confusion.

The blonde was wondering as to why two humans was looking as if he was an alien, which he was but still, the stares made him uncomfortable. It was his Day 1 on Earth and already he's quite weary of this planet.

He already read about Earth, it's the most filthy, intolerable and hated planet in the whole universe. The organisms who live here are not evolved at all and lack intelligence. Moreover, humans have feelings! That's so disgusting. Ew!

On the other hand, Harry and Louis found Niall's puzzled face incredibly adorable, as he stared both of them with his big purple eyes.

"Hi! I'm Niall" He said with a small smile as if he was in an auto-pilot mode which caused both the humans to roar with laughter.

"You may be creepy, but you are cute as fuck" Louis snorted.

"Creepy" Niall muttered to himself. He had no idea what it means but he doesn't want to look like a fool in front of them. But then, English is a new language for him so he can ask...right?

"What does creepy mean?" Niall asked as he bit his lower lip.

Harry and Louis had a silent conversation between them and came to the conclusion that maybe Niall didn't know English. After all, there are millions of languages on Earth, not necessarily everybody knows English.

"You don't know English", Louis pointed out.

Niall shook his head as his eyes roamed all around the car while Harry's eyes were still fixed on him.

"I learnt it while coming here, I can speak little" Niall explained "We do not speak this language in our home planet"

"Yeah okay, not everybody speaks English" Louis reassured "Wait- did you say home planet?"

Harry's eyes widened in realisation. It finally struck him.

The spaceship - Naked Niall - Niall acting weird, he could connect the dots. Niall. Is. A. Freaking. Alien.

"Stop the car!!" Harry yelled which caused Louis to jump.

Harry attempted to open the door but instead got refrained by the seatbelt.

"Ouch" He huffed while rubbing his chest.

"Are you fucking crazy, you motherfucker!" Louis shouted obnoxiously as he tried to control the steering wheel "It could've caused a fucking accident! Have you lost your fucking mind?!"

"He's an alien!" Harry screamed on top of his lungs and jerked forward when Louis finally applied the brakes.

"What are you on?" Louis hissed.

"He's an alien, Louis." Harry whispered harshly "That spaceship I saw yesterday landed somewhere here, also he said home planet not country or town but planet, he's an alien, a fucking alien! He'll kill us all and then rule our planet! Run!"

Harry unbuckled his seat belt with his shaky hand and gripped on the door handle but he stopped when he heard a few sniffles from the back seat of the car.

In this commotion, nobody saw the poor golden haired boy was crying his eyes out.

"I will go" He croaked out, his voice barely a whisper "You do not like me, you will hurt me"

"Don't be silly, Niall. We like you." Louis patted his knee with a reassuring smile and jumped into the back seat, landing almost on the Niall's fragile body.

"Oops" Louis pouted as he sat beside Niall "I'm sorry"

Niall squeezed Louis' cheek in an attempt to remove the pout but when he couldn't, he shook his head and giggle softly.

"You're very cute, you know", Louis chuckled as he plucked both of Niall's cheeks and started shaking his head.

"Owie" Niall squealed but then breathe out a short laugh and every possibility of Niall being a deadly alien was swiped from Harry's mind with that little giggle.

No, he can't kill humans... Right?

Louis wrapped his arms around Niall's torso and pulled him on his lap.

"I'm sorry, Harry is an idiot!" He whispered into the blonde's ear and shot a glance to Harry to which Harry rolled his eyes.

"Harry say 'sorry' to Niall" Louis said sternly "That's not how you are supposed to talk to a special child"

Sometimes Harry wished that Louis had some brain. This is one of those times.

Special child?! After Harry giving him all the proof that Niall is an alien and Niall himself confirming that, be came to the conclusion that Niall is a special child? Are you kidding me?

"He's not a special child, Lou" Harry said calmly "You got everything wrong"

Louis mentally face-palmed himself. Was Harry so dumb to actually believe aliens? Or is he playing with Louis? Maybe the latter one.

"First of all, Aliens doesn't fucking exist Harry" Louis reasoned "Second of all, reading fantasy and science fiction books are really getting in your head, Har"

Harry seemed to be dumb struck, but it's not by Louis' words.

"Har, look at him, he's so-" Louis' words got stuck in his throat, when he finally looked at what Harry was looking at.

It was the blonde on his lap. Who's glowing.

Louis finally gave a closer look to Niall, who was playing with a little piece of string at the edge of Harry's shirt which he'd worn now, unaware of his surroundings but that's not the point.

The point is that the boy was glowing, with light radiating from every part of his skin, starting from his golden hair to pale skin. This glow is unlike any pregnancy glow, it's ten times more stronger than that. It's not possible for any human to glow like that.

Maybe Niall is not a human after all...

"Y-you are glowing, Niall" Harry stammered "I-is everything o-okay?"

Before Louis could do anything, like jumping out of the car, dropping Niall from his lap, pushing Niall aside; Niall replied to Harry.

Niall, who was previously unaware of the reason as to why the humans are looking at him, now understood the matter. Humans can't glow!

"Oh it is nothing" Niall shrugged warily "We just glow when we are excited or nervous"

"You're not trying to kill us, right?" Words betrayed Harry's mouth.

Yes Harry, go on and ask your own killer, why don't you? Obviously, he's gonna say, 'yes Harry, I'm gonna kill you'. I'm so stupid.

"Why will I kill you?" Niall asked confused "You helped me. I will not kill humans"

Relief washed over the green eyed lad's face. Gosh! He misunderstood Niall all along. He's completely harmless.

But why is he here? What did he want? Where does he belong to? How did he come? All these questions were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't ask, not wanting to scare the already frightened lad.

It seemed like Louis had the same questions as Harry and understood what he wanted.

"Maybe we should go home and discuss properly" Harry nodded his head while Niall just smiled lightly.

"Harry, you drive while I sit with Niall here", he smiled widely towards Niall who responded with an equally big smile.

Maybe humans are not that bad...

While on the front seat, some green eyed lad was having a tough time looking at the love fest behind him.

I found Niall first. I should be able to hold him. But then I was the one who scared him off.

Harry huffed as he started the engine, not before giving a side-glance to the happy couple behind.

Niall is mine...

"Lou!"

"Louis!"

"Louis Tomlinson!"

"Louis William Tomlinson!" Harry yelled as he shook sleepy Louis for the umpteenth time

"What?!" Louis groaned as he rubbed  his eyes and sat up carefully, not wanting to wake up the blonde who's fast asleep with his face against the glass window and little snores escaping from his mouth.

He finally took a look around him. He was certain that this was no where near their house.

"Where are we?" He asked as he yawned once more.

"Listen, I think I just saw Amy and Jack going inside the bar!" Harry said as he unbuckled his seatbelt "I'm gonna have a quick look inside, okay? You stay here with Niall"

"What? No-" Before Louis could stop, Harry ran out of the car.

This is not going to end well...

"Louis" A tiny voice stopped the brunette from shouting at Harry. He looked around to see a sleepy Niall looking at him innocently.

Louis can't help but find Niall extremely cute with drooping eyes but at the same time he needs to spread his aching knees.

Niall's not heavy, not at all. It's just that making a grown up adult sit on his lap is a stupid idea. Even if the adult is an alien.

"Niall could you please sit aside, I need to spread my knees" Louis said softly and Niall immediately jumped out of his lap.

"I am sorry" He mumbled, his voice barely audible.

"Hey" Louis patted his shoulder "It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. No need to be sorry. I'm your friend"

"Friend?" Niall muttered to himself. He just arrived here yesterday and already made a friend. That's nice. Moreover, he already likes Louis. He's so bubbly and happy and so nice to him, unlike Harry.

"Yup, I'll be your first human friend" Louis beamed. Now that's something "Will you be my first alien friend, Niall?"

Niall wanted to tell Louis that he doesn't like him to be called Alien but at the same time he didn't want to ruin the moment.

"I'll be your friend, Louis", Niall giggled softly and Louis' smile just got bigger.

"So Niall, tell me about yourself. Where are you from? Which planet? How far? Why are you here? Science project? How old are you? Can you shapeshift? Wh-"

Niall clamped his mouth before Louis could ask a million more questions about him. He's a curious lad, it's not his fault.

"Louis, you talk too much" Niall laughed softly.

Louis scrunched his nose and shook his head sideways "No, you talk too less, Niall. Now tell me who are you, w-"

"Fine" Niall sighed "I'll tell you but you have to be patient and not interrupt me. Okay?"

"Double okay" The Doncaster lad grinned with excitement.

Now, this is something he wants to listen.

"Okay," Niall began "So, I'm Niall, I live in the planet U-4132 as the earth scientists have named it." Niall paused to see Louis' reaction who was gesturing Niall to continue, as he knitted his brows in concentration.

"So, our planet is many light years away from your planet but we share same galaxy. So, practically your planet is one of our neighbouring planets where life exist. In fact, our species are just the evolved version of your species and so is the planet."

Louis' lips formed an 'o' shape as he was taking in all the information.

"So, my dad was the leader of our planet. What do you guys call it-" Niall squinted his eyes in order to find the right word.

"Prime minister?"

"No"

"King?"

"Yes" Niall squealed "Yes, king, My father was the king of our planet and after ruling for ten thousand seventy eight years he decided-"

"Ten thousand years!" Louis exclaimed as his eyes widen. "Is he god or something?"

"I told you not to interrupt" Niall tried to look stern and Louis put his finger on his lips, not before mumbling a quick sorry.

"So, as I was saying, my father, the king was immortal. This immortality is in our genes, so it passes from generation to generation. But, once an immortal mates and if the offspring is immortal too, then the parent loses his immortality power.

So, when my father mated for the first time, my sister was born but unfortunately she was a mortal. But, a king must be immortal so he mated again and I was born immortal. My father died a day after."

"Wait, you are immortal" Louis gasped "I'm sitting beside a literal Jesus, that's awesome!"

Niall chuckled at his new friend's antics, until he realised.

"Wait, who is Jesus?" He asked with a clueless face "Your friend?"

"Yeah somewhat" Louis shrugged "Continue"

"So, yeah I was born immortal and was hailed as the new king but I am not allowed to rule till I reached 20 years. But, I had no interest in becoming a king, nor did I have intelligence. Moreover, I had way more feelings than others! In conclusion, I had no traits for becoming a king except immortality.

My sister ruled the planet till I reached twenty and she was a terrific leader. She was loved by all the people while I was hated by them.

It is a custom in our planet that the going to be king must visit a planet selected by the people and survive there for one year and because of my bad reputation, here I am, staying in the filthiest, under developed and most hated planet in the galaxy"

"You know that's kinda rude" Louis pulled a face "Earth is not that bad"

"You kill your own species" Niall said as a matter of fact and Louis had to agree.

"Yeah... That's true" He trailed off and Niall gave him a soft smile.

"Where is Harry?" Niall asked in order to change the topic, not that he's not fond of Harry otherwise, but Harry was quite rude to him.

Realisation struck Louis as he quickly scrambled out of his seat and opened the car door. He knew leaving Harry with Jack was the worst thing he could do but he was so into the blonde's back story that he didn't think about it.

"I'll go to bring him back" Louis rattled off "Do not get out of the car"

Niall nodded as he slumped back in his seat, his eyes following the retreating figure of Louis.

Maybe, Earth is not that bad!

Louis made his way inside the bar, pushing and cursing drunk people till he heard some muffled sounds from the corner.

"What the hell, Harry!"

Totally boring chapter! I slept twice while writing this chapter 😂

Okay, what did Louis see that made his shout like that?

Also, isn't nouis the sweetest thing ever? Don't worry narry is coming...

Lots of love xx

PS : I don't remember anything I wrote here. I was sleepy as fuck when I wrote the chapter.
