Liam *POV*

"Are you sure he's okay? It's 11pm he left two and a half hours ago." I say and Niall pats my thigh.

"You worry too much. He's probably just out and about trying to get his mind off of things. He will be fine." Niall says reassuringly.

"You're right, I just don't like him being out so late at night and all alone." I mumble and my eyes dart to Niall's hand as it slides up my leg a bit to far. I clear my throat slightly and he moves it back down.

"Thanks again for buying Nandos." Niall hums happily.

"It was my pleasure Nialler." I say smiling down at the Irish lad.

He always seems to be so happy all the time. It's one of the things I love about him. That and I love his laugh. The way his eyes squint, face gets cherry red, head slightly tilted back, and to top it off the way he sounds laughing is perfection.

"Liam you okay?" Niall asks cutting me out of my thoughts.

"I-I'm fine." I stutter as I think back to my earlier thoughts.

Yah Niall is a great guy. But, those were just strange thoughts. Do I really pay that much attention to when he laughs?

"You sure?" He asks in a soft, quiet voice. A complete 180 for his usually loud voice.

"Yea, I'm sure." I mumble looking into his beautiful- I mean, his blue eyes. They are just blue.

"Don't stress it Li." Niall says softly as he puts a hand on my cheek and I can't help but lean into it.

His face comes close to mine so slowly I barely notice it until his forehead is pressed against mine. "Hey Li?"

"Yea?" I let out a shaky breath.

"C-"

"Why are you getting mad at me?!" Harry's voices screams as he enters the dorm room causing Niall and I to jump away from each other.

My eyes are wide as I think back to that moment. The moment that now has me flustered with a face crimson in colour.

"Who was that guy?!" Louis' higher pitched voice asks.

"I met him on the Piccadilly train." Harry explains and I hear a bang against the wall before a groan is emitted through the dorm. "Stop Louis! - Louis stop! ... LOUIS! I don't like this!"

My eyes go wide as I realize what is going on and I jump up from my position on the couch. I run to the foyer of the dorm and Niall follows close behind.

I gasp at what I see in front of me and Niall grabs my hand as I begin to shake from anger.

Louis has Harry pinned to the wall, his knee between Harry's as he bites and sucks down his neck. Harry pinned there, tries to break from Louis' hold but he won't budge.

"Liam!" He calls and Louis just continues his actions. A tear leaves Harry's eye and that's it.

"Get. The. Fuck. Off. HIM!" I scream taking my hand from Niall's and grabbing Louis by his shoulder prying him off his tight hold on Harry.

Harry grasps his neck and winces from the sore spots.

Louis glares at me before saying, "don't ever let him touch you like that again!"

And he slams the door of the flat causing the thin walls to shake.

"I'm going after him." I snap before following Louis out.

Harry *POV*

"What was that all about?" Niall asks as I slide down the wall, tears falling from my eyes.

"I-he-"

"Calm down Harry, Liam's go it under control. Louis won't hurt you." Niall hushes as he falls down the wall beside me. His arms wrap around me before I take a deep breath and begin explaining what had happened.

*flashback*

"I had a nice night tonight," Peter, the kind business man from the underground, says.

He's much different looking in his regular clothes. He's wearing a button up, silk, Saint Laurent shirt which has the top 3 buttons undone showing off his chest. Which I must say I don't really mind, he's very muscular. Then for pants he's wearing a simple black skinny jean and paired it with some Steve Madden cognac, leather, low rise boots. Yah, he is definitely rich.

"I had a nice night too. I'm glad I did this to be honest with you. I got some stressful news and you really helped me get my mind off things." I say as we enter the campus grounds. Peter, after insisting he pay for dinner and our ice creams, insisted he walk me back to my campus to make sure I made it there safely.

"No worries mate. I have been in a bit of stress lately with work and I thought it would be a nice offer when I noticed how out of whack you were." He says politely as we enter my dorm building complex. "Before we say our good byes, can I have your number? I wouldn't mind going out again."

"Sure." I smile and he hands me his cell phone. I put my number in as a contact on the very fancy Sony Xperia Z3 before handing it back to him.

"Thanks again for paying for me, and walking me home." I say looking up at his perfectly sculpted face.

"It is truly no worries. I have all this money but nobody to spend it on so, if I can make someone's day with it. I don't mind." He says kindly.

I smile back and before I know it his lips are on mine in a soft kiss before he pulls back.

"I'll talk to you later curls." He says before backing up and walking out of the building. My eyes have widened in shock and I feel a small blush reach my cheeks.

I walk to the lift in a bit of a daze thinking about the very charismatic man. I really liked him as a friend for sure, but as something more? I don't know.

I guess I would have to see how it goes.

"What was that?!" Louis' voice shouts, startling me, as the lift opens and we both enter it.

"What was what?" I ask as I press my floor button. I look up and wince at the dark look on Louis' face. His anger has taken over his features and his eyes are becoming slightly blood shot.

"Don't play innocent with me!" He shouts and I jump back away from him. He anger doesn't shift one bit. "Who was he?"

"He's just a friend I met today." I mumble and jump when Louis laughs hysterically.

"What friends just randomly kiss each other like that? That's not a friendly kiss Harry." Louis snarls at me and I whimper.

C'mon floor come soon.

Like god was listening to my wishes the door opens with a ding and I scurry to my dorm.

"Don't you run from me!" Louis shouts as I open the door.

"Why are you getting mad at me?!" I yell at him wanting this to all be over.

*flashback over*

"And that's what happened." I mumble.

"Mr. Business guy eh," Niall smirks and I push his shoulder with mine.

"Niall." I groan still holding my neck.

"I think Louis was jealous." Niall chuckles in amusement.

"He's not very nice when he's jealous." I mumble and Niall laughs some more.

"Let's see the damage." Niall says and I wince as I pull my hand away from my neck. "Oh- shit, that's going to be there for weeks!"

I whimper and Niall just laughs, "I guess Peter will know that you belong to someone else now."

"It hurts Niall." I whimper and Niall rubs my back as I lean forward.

"Yah he got you good." Niall mumbles before saying, "maybe you should sleep on it. It might feel better when you wake up."

"Okay." I whimper and Niall helps me stand up.

Liam *POV*

"How could you run off like that?!" I shout in Louis' face as I pin him to the wall. His face turned as I hold his face against the wall along with his chest.

"He- he was- HE DESERVE IT!" Louis growls pathetically.

"How could he possibly have deserved such an act?!" I snap at him.

"He- he was kissing another man! He -"

"Wait a second ..." I cut Louis off, "why do you care?"

"Why do I care?! I don't." He denies and I chuckle humorously.

"Don't deny it." I can't help but let a small smile grace my lips.

"I'm not!" He pathetically argues.

"Do you actually like Harry?" I ask him letting my grip loosen slightly but, I still hold him to the wall.

"What? No. He's just- I just- he just shouldn't be kissing other guys!" Louis tries to explain and I smile before turning Louis around.

"You know Louis, it's okay to like someone. But, it's not okay to- to- I don't even know what you were doing to Harry but it was hurting him, and that is not okay." I glare at him, losing my friendly smile.

"Let me go Liam." Louis mumbles. His argument lost and it looks as if he's beaten inside.

"No, you're going back to Harry and apologizing." I put my foot down and Louis rolls his eyes at me.

"I'm not some child like you treat Harry. You can't make me do anything." Louis says in a bored tone.

"I know I can't make you do anything but, if Harry actually means something to you- which I can see that he does -you should apologize, and apologize soon." I say with a smirk as Louis scoffs at me.

"He means shit all to me Liam. Now let go of me!" Louis glares pushing me off him before he storms off to the lifts.

He'll be back.

God. I've changed. I actually want Louis and Harry together. What is this shit.

With a heavy sigh I walk back to my dorm room and open the door before locking it behind me.

"Liam?" Niall calls and I hum in acknowledgement. "You didn't kill Louis right?"

I laugh as I remove my shoes, "no I didn't murder him but, I did hold an argument, which he lost."

"I'm surprised the cops aren't taking you away it literally looked like you were going to seriously injure the lad." Niall laughs before continuing, "what stopped you?"

"I think you're right Niall. Louis cares about Harry. He's just in denial, and-and I really want Harry to start living on his own." I admit sheepishly and Niall's smile widens.

"Awe Liam!!" He tackles me in a big hug and I blush hugging him back. He nestles his head into my chest and I can't help but kiss the top of his blonde hair.

I pray to god he didn't catch that. Oh fuck what did I do!?

I pull away nervously from Niall who looks indifferent which makes me sigh in relief.

"I put Harry to bed." Niall states before adding, "Louis surely did a number on his neck."

I can't help the anger that bubbles in my stomach but I push it down slightly, "I still can't believe what happened. I mean, I let him get off easy cause you, and Harry, both want me to chill out but I'm regretting not causing more punishment for Louis."

"Calm down Li. You did the right thing. This is between Louis and Harry. They will work it out. If Louis does something bad again though I thoroughly expect you to whoop his arse." Niall says dead serious.

I can't help but chuckle before saying, "I just hope that nothing bad will happen to Harry again."

"You can't prevent it but you should just be there for him okay. Even after the event that took place this evening. Harry won't be a happy camper tomorrow and I think you just have to be there for him. No arguing, no daddy payne, no 'I told you so's." Niall says as we walk towards my room and I can't help myself when I take hold of his hand and walk him into my room.

"Want to sleep here again?" I ask him and he sheepishly nods. I can't help the giddy feeling that bubbles within me and I walk with him hand in hand to my big bed.

Niall strips to his boxers and I blush. Why am I all of a suddenly shy about this? Niall walks around in his boxers all the time. Hell he walked around naked one time.

I pull my pants off but leave my shirt on and crawl into the bed next to Niall. I roll over so I'm facing him and jump slightly when I notice how close his face is to mine.

"S-sorry." I stutter an apology which Niall shakes his head to and puts his hand on my cheek. I feel heat rise to my face and I know Niall can feel it to as his nail bitten fingers caress my hair back slightly.

"Don't freak out okay?" Niall mumbles and I furrow my brows.

What is that suppose to me-

His lips. My lips. He's kissing me?!

I want to pull away but apart of me doesn't and that part of me won't let me pull away from him. My lips stay still as I look at him in shock. He pulls his lips away from mine. His eyes are closed and he has a content, neutral face.

"Good night." He whispers before rolling over.

What the hell just happened?

I roll over away from Niall still in shock of the situation and feeling a little bit awkward to share the same bed as Niall.

Why didn't I pull away?!

Oh fuck ...

I wait for Niall's breath to even out and quite snores to be emitting from his side of the bed. Once his snoring begins I get out of bed and pull a warm, soft blanket from my closet. I walk out of my bedroom still completely flustered and make my way to the long couch in our living room.

I lay down on it and put the blanket over me so it covers my whole body from my toes to my shoulders. I roll towards the back of the could and curl into it before closing my eyes.

Oh god ...

He kissed me.

I didn't move away.

Hell I wanted to his him back!

But I'm straight.

I like girls.

I think ...

******
