(swore to each other) we'd never be enemies
“You know,” Niall starts, “when you asked me to come over, I wasn’t expecting this.” He frowns, his arms crossed as he stares at the unconscious person resting on Louis’ guest bed, before pinning Louis down with a stare. “No offense, but, what the fuck.”
He watches as Louis shrugs a shoulder, faux casual, but Niall has known him long enough to know that there’s multitudes behind that movement, behind the stormy look in his eyes. “You don’t understand,” Louis whispers, and Niall will have to concede to that because no, he sure as hell fucking doesn’t.
“In case you’ve forgotten, that’s your enemy,” he states, as though Louis needs reminding of that. “That’s X, the guy you’ve been fighting for far too long a time. The guy we’ve been fighting, may I remind you. Why the hell would you end up bringing him to your house?”
He watches Louis swallow, his fingertips inexplicably almost ghosting over the cheek of the dark haired man. “Because,” Louis says quietly. “That’s not X. I mean, it is X,” he stumbles over his words, hurrying to explain. “But it’s Zayn.” His voice sounds small. “This is the guy who used to be my best friend.”
