˖° ࣪⊹ Tea for Two⊹ ࣪° ˖
Type: Fluff
Character(s): Malleus
Format: Oneshot
Catagory: x reader
Warnings: None
Note: This was requested by @nunezs-stuff
(I am so sorry I didn't get this to you sooner and im sorry it wasn't longer)
Tumblr media
Under the ethereal glow of the moon, Kianna found herself engrossed in a captivating book in the Night Raven College library. Unbeknownst to her, Malleus Draconia silently approached, his regal presence casting a subtle enchantment on the surroundings. Shifting a bit uneasily as if nervous of rejection. He suddenly appeared in front of the knew student that he had recently conversated with. Clearing his throat, he gracefully asked, "Would you care to accompany me to a tea party, ?"
Surprised by the unexpected invitation, Kianna looked up from her book, meeting Malleus's green eyes. She was extremely catious and weary of this invitation, figuring it may be a prank. After a moment she figured that there was nothing she hadn't been threw and nothing she couldn't handle. Noticing his expression held a rare warmth, and the invitation seemed more like a magical request than a mere suggestion. Intriguing her, she agreed reluctantly and Malleus extended his hand, she opted not to take it simce she wasn't to fond of physical contact. Though Malleus quickly recovered leading her through secret passages and hidden corridors to a mysterious location within the college, filling her with a slight sense of unease at the location.
As you entered a secluded garden bathed in the soft glow of enchanted lanterns, you discovered an elegant tea set arranged on an intricately carved table. Malleus, with his customary grace, pulled out a chair for her. inviting her to take a seat. The tea party unfolded with an array of enchanted teas, each one possessing unique magical properties that transported you both into a realm of sensory delight.
Amidst sips of tea and delicate pastries, Malleus shared tales of his dragon heritage and the magical traditions of brair valley with the occasional rble of gargoyles. The one sided conversation flowed effortlessly, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences and newfound connections. Under the moonlit canopy, you realized that this tea party was more than a simple gathering; it was a magical rendezvous, a moment frozen in time.
One that she soon found to be quite enjoyable, being a rather quiet person bit finding the slightest comforting these long late night rambles of the strange vaugly threatening mam in front of her.
As the tea party drew to a close, Malleus gave a small smile that somehow came off as both eerie and peaceful.
"Thank you child of man."
expressing his endleas gratitude for your company with a sincere smile. The garden's enchantment lingered as he extended an invitation for future gatherings, leaving you with a promise of more magical moments to come. Malleus poofed away leaving a glow behind where he used to be and sense of fulfillment at the conversation with a wish for more of these moments.

Last Day In Heaven Pt.5
-First-. -Previous-. -Next-
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Then Marinette told Kagami and Luka whom she got pretty close recently of her plan and asked them to come with her to the party. They already knew she was MDC . They accepted and helped her collect more evidence against Lila. On patrol that night Ladybug told Ryuuko and Viperion that they could catch Gabriel on action at that party and that they should keep an eye on him and record if they saw anything suspicious as evidence against him. It didn't take long for the duo to realize who the other was. So now Kagami and Luka knew the other was a hero too. When they asked how did she knew they would be at the party she said she kind of knew Marinette and couldn't tell much because of secret identities and closed the subject.
The following days almost all Marinette did was working on the dresses and thinking about her plan. She thought of all the things that could go wrong and made a plan for every one of them. Nothing could stop her from getting her revenge.
.......
Her own dress was named "Karma". It was symbolizing how despite all the dark, nasty rumors around her she was actually a pure white. But if it meant the real dark, nasty ones would be exposed she could lose some of her innocence, add some gray to her pure white while doing karma's job, making sure they got what they deserved. And who knows maybe it would benefit her. Save her from being too naive, getting used. Being completely white only ended up hurting her after all.
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
When her MDC original dress arrived she quickly opened it and took a look at the dress. She would prefer fancier dresses but even if it was a little simple for Lila's taste it was still elegant and still and MDC original. That alone was enough to make everybody look her way. There was some chinese words on it's sleeves but she didn't bother search what it meant, or was it japanese? Honestly she didn't know and didn't care. She took a pic of the box the dress came in and posted it on social media with the caption "Thanks for the dress @mdc. So excited to wear it at the party!" She wouldn't show anyone her dress untill the party-not even Adrien- she wanted to surprise them.
∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆
The night before the party MDC posted these lines on her social media;
It'll be the last day in heaven
When karma'll come to bite
You think they'll survive it?
No, they will not.
Everybody was confused to say the least but they would learn what it meant soon.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
When the day of the party came all of France was excited and was waiting for MDC to reveal her identity. The party would be on live while the guests made their speech so everyone else would learn of her identity at the same time as the party guests.
When it was finally the time, MDC stepped out of a limousine with her two friends by her sides. Masks on all of their faces. Marinette normally would get nervous from all the eyes on her but right now she was in her Ladybug persona, locked to her target, determined to take the villian down. She was one of the last ones to arrive. Not too early and not late enough to be actually late, just in time to make an appareance. So she didn't get to chat with too many people before she was called to stage for her speech. She walked to the stage with a cold expression, with ice in her eyes. But Lila didn't seem to recognize that as she stepped aside so she could be in front of the mike with an excited smile on her face.
She plastered a fake smile on her face and started her speech "We all are here to congortulate the lovely couple but first I have a present for them." Just then a video started playing behind her. Lila turned her back to the crowd to take a good look at it. Then all of Lila's lies from her Ladyblog interviews started playing with the mentioned celebrity denying ever meeting her. All the color drained from Lila's face as she realized what it was. She wanted to scream, stop the video, break the screen. But she couldn't, she couldn't even move. It was like she was frozen in place. And as her lies were being exposed one by one some symbols started to show up on the trail of her dress in the dark. They almost looked like...flames?!
Gabriel feeling the intense negative emotions from the crowd, tried to sneak away and trasform. But was noticed by Luka who was watching him the whole time. He followed him and recorded how he was sneaking from the crowd when he got in the man's restroom he followed catious not to make a sound. He was still recording when he said "Noroo , dark wings ri-" and couldn't finish as he knocked on the door. He said "Occupied" . And decided to wait untill the person was out of there to transform. But they took longer than expected. Luka already sent the recording. And the police would be here in any minute like they agreed to before the party. Gabriel waited a little more but when the other person still didn't get out yet he decided to get out and find somewhere else to transform.

Star Trek reactions - Dagger of the mind
"CAUTION" - that's never a good way to start an episode...
Oh no, the transporter's not working...oh no, the guy operating it's just dumb. Where's Scotty?!
"Classified material, do not open" - boy, that sounds safe!
OMG IT'S A FUCKING PERSON
TURN AROUND DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! Welp, he's dead.
I'm so confused, what the hell is this episode gonna be about? Oh, a prisoner stowed away in the cargo box. Nice.
Quick action for once, well done! Yes, listen to Uhura, be catious!
Oh great, he's clever too. Brilliant. A clever maniac. All we need. McCoy and Spock's sassing is sending me!
OH SHIT HE'S ON THE BRIDGE!
IS HE GONNA DIE? He looks like he's in pain?? WTF? I'm so confused right now...
Ayyyyy, Vulcan neck pinch! For the win! You go Spock!
I..."always with a ring of truth to it" doesn't sound good...
IS HE GONNA DIE NOW?! He keeps acting like he's having a heart attack or something...
Bones' answer to everything and everyone - hit it with a hypospray!
57 minutes? How far away did you get? What? Space and time in this show makes no sense.
PLOT TWIST! HE'S A DOCTOR!
Oh, the people aren't dead. Just injured. Well, that's good. Experimental work? Uh oh...
Bones is suddenly a lie detector? For some reason?
Spock coming in with that logic to break up an argument; thatta boy!
Oh no...he wants Kirk to beam down...with a minimum staff...Bones is right, something is shady! He called him "sir" too!😂
Spock backing up McCoy! Wait, Spock's not going too, is he?
And of course it's a woman, and Kirk's fucking infatuated. Oh no, he's nervous! He slept with her, didn't he?! Haha, beautiful! And Spock's not going. At least they've got the common sense to keep one senior officer on the ship.
Yes, immediately grab the woman, she's so delicate...🙄
Another beautiful woman...I...this is going to get old fast...She seems odd? Hmm...
So, he's wiped her mind? That's not shady at all!
An experiment went wrong? Oh no...And Kirk should definitely investigate. I don't like this Doctor Helen much.
This guy has had his brains scrambled, and Dr Adams has done it. I'm sure. This facility is shady. Bones is right to be concerned.
"Neutralizes brain waves"? That sounds bad! The guy working the machine sounds brainwashed too...
Oh, oh you can assure him, can you Helen? I don't like her.
Did he? Why don't I believe you Dr Adams? Hmm?
Brainwashing. They're brainwashing them and making them feel pain when they remember their life. Nice. They seem swell. /s
He is, Spock is great! Now piss off. I don't like smiley Dr Adams either.
Just shut up Dr Helen.
I agree with Van Gelder - DON'T STAY THERE!
Spock, shut up a minute and let Van Gelder talk...OMG, is he dead? Dying? What's going on?!
Bones, can you respect Spock and his culture please? PLEASE!!
Spock doing this highly personal thing 'cause Jim's in danger...he loves him so much!
"Are you questioning the methods of a man like Tristian Adams-" Of course he fucking is Helen! Stop being a dumb bitch, jeez. She's so irritating.
Re-shape a mind? That is awful! Is Spock okay, he's moving weird? Gotta say though, the side shot of his face is super pretty. Now he's repeating the words, I don't like it...
Do you know your profession? Cause you don't fucking act like it!
We'll not try it at all thank you! Oh jeez Jim, really? Oh god! No, don't try it again!
Kisses in these things always look weird as hell to me!😂
OMG, NO! DR ADAMS IS THERE SHIT! NO, PISS OFF ADAMS!
YES, FIGHT IT JIM! FIGHT IT! Ah no, c'mon, fight it still Jim! Yeah, atta boy! That was better from Helen, I appreciate that. Jim, let's not try and assault another woman after Rand...oh, he went for the duct, thank god!
Oh great, she's going into a potentially deadly situation. Great. And Jim's got another brainwashing session...
FIGHT IT JIM, YES! SPOCK, SAVE HIM, SAVE YOUR HUSBAND!
Spock save him! Please! Your husband needs you! Also - come on Helen! You got this! Yes! Ah, fuck off security guy - yes Jim!
Ha, she just fried that security guy! Nice!
Spock just turned the brainwashing machine on and Dr Adams is there!🤣
Oh really? Did they have too? And the husband walks in...Spock's face though!😆
Hey, the rest of them came down! Oh no, he's dead, how terrible.
Is Jim, like, okay? He looks awful. At least the treatment room thing is gone. Jim is not okay, he needs love right now...Spock?
Well, that was a wild ride of an episode! I enjoyed it though!
That's it for this ep! Next up: The Corbomite Maneuver

newsies pet headcanons
- Crutchie has a guinea pig that's white with honey colored spoltches and her name is Sunshine
- he only treats with respect 🙌🙌🙌 and gives her probably too many treats
- she is pretty much out of her cage all of the time except whenever there's a bunch of people over opening and closing the door in case she gets out
- Jack has a jack russell terrier
- he said he was going to get one as a joke but then he decided to get one anyway and fell in love immediately
- he'snamed him Dali because he's a humanities nerd and loves The Persistence of Time
- one time Jack was painting and Dali got up on the table and got paint on his paw and then stepped on the painting
- at first it angered Jack (he'd never hurt Dali purposefully of course) but then he thought it looked pretty cool and it's hung up in his living room
-he signed his name and Dali's name in the corner
- Katherine has a cockatoo
- she's not sure how she ended up getting a cockatoo but she did
- her name is Rosa after Rosa Parks
- whenever Katherine leaves to do a coverage for a story, she says a checklist out loud to make sure she has everything she needs just out of habit
- well apparently Rosa was listening more than Katherine thought because once she was saying it and didn't say the last item (which was pen) and she just hears Rosa squawk "pen! pen!" and she was so grateful and amazed
- her favorite snack is dried bananas chips (don't know why I felt he need to include that)
- Sarah has a cat she got from the shelter when he was 4 years old because she was doing service hours there and fell in love
- his name is Cheerio and he's a light tan tabby
- he's also very very chubby, (guess you could call him a flabby tabby) but it just gives more for Sarah to love
- the Jacobs were very catious at first because their apartment is small and they weren't sure how a cat would do on the small space but now they all love him
- during Hanukkah he gets his own gifts and spot at the table where the menorah sits during the lighting
- (if they celebrated Christmas he'd have his own stocking)
- he always sleeps with Sarah and Sarah gets very worried whenever he isn't there when she wakes up
- but most of the time he's sitting out the window at the birds
- (I'm sorry I'm just such a cat lady I love them)
- Davey has a pet painted turtle who's nickname is Vlad
- the only two people who know the real name of him is Davey and Les
- Les only knows because he read Davey's man journal (*cough diary cough*) so Davey doesn't think anyone else knows
- it's Voldetort
- (fyi there was a textpost with a turtle with that name, I didnt come up with it)
- he doesn't do much, but Davey still loves him very much
- Jack painted a picture of him for Davey's birthday (mainly as a joke but no one has to know) and it's hanging next to his terrarium
- Davey often just sits in front of the terrarium and just rants
- like whenevers he's nervous or anxious or mad he'll just pull up a chair and just whisper to Vlad
- most everything starts with "the world is shit"
- Specs has a hamster named Ponyboy because he's a yellowish/gold and the Outsiders is his favorite book
- he got two in the beginning and the other was black so he named him (car crash) but the hamster (cat screech) (screen shakes) and no one was the same after...
- Finch has a (get this) a finch (ohmygodimsocreative)
- all the Newsies make fun of him for getting a finch but Finch x2 does this thing where they simultaneously glare and it scares the shit out of people
- like how the heck does a bird glare
- no one knows, but Finch x2 somehow does
- oh and the bird's name is Finch the II but Finch just calls him Junior
- Race has a goldfish he named Chris because it's a unisex name and that's the first name that came to mind
- no one trusts him to take care of anything else so he settled for a goldfish, but still loves him just as much he'd love a dog or bird
- he's the type of pet owner that stocks up on pet food during the winter in case he gets snowed it, but it's never come to that and he keeps forgetting he has enough so he has a drawer full of fish food that could literally last him a month
- and his camera roll is like 90% the fish??? like um okay???
- and everyday he takes a selfie with him and Chris is his phone background
- Spot, his boyfriend, was slightly hurt when he saw it

I saw the video where jared is rock climbing and his rope almost breaks. which made me think of a headcanon where jared bugs his daughter to go climbing with him and when she finally says yes it results in bad injury. How would he handle that situtiation?react? p.s. Im currently reading your crossover and I love it!
Awww thank you so much doll! ♡ I really appreciate that! First things first depending on how bad the injury is hed take her to the hospital or doctor. I see Jared having a first aid kit in the car so if it's not too bad hed take care of it. He'd try to stay as rational as possible and sit in the car with her helping her out and talking to her. He wouldnt rush home as to make her nervous or the situation more tense. Then when they got home I see him telling her that he cant let this stop her from doing something she loves and experiencing life. Reassuring her that one set back shouldnt stop her. But inside hed be internally freaking out I think and at some point notice he hasnt left her side for like a week and he himseld is hesitant to go back out. When theyd do hed be really catious and to over all safety measures again and the two of them would learn as they go along and help each other feel safe again.

lemme bless yall with something i wrote back in 2013; i want to change so much but i wanna preserve it. i’ll redo it later; my brain hurts
I forgot who these characters are anyways. If youre on desktop yuuri is blocking your way xddddd
"What are you making?"
Valette startled from his sketch book and immediately looked up. He hid the book close to his chest and away from the praying eyes that looked curiously down. He was out-stretched on one of the two comfronters in the living room, his hair tied back and clipped to keep it out of his face as he looked down. William was with him now, disturbing his solitude and imposing all too friendly.
"Are you drawing? Can I see?"
Valette did not mind people asking questions about his artwork but he did mind showing his creativity. He shook his head and sat up, closing the book that was now firmly grasped within his fingers. His feet now touched the floor again as he sat properly.
"What do you need?" Valette avoided his eyes when he spoke.
William was completely used to the way Valette was. He did not mind that he avoided eye contact when speaking to him as it was a natural occurance with the male. When Willaim had first met him, he was baffled as to why the male hardly made eye contact when speaking or asking questions. If anything, the male almost seemed like he hated human interaction when in truth he was just terrible at dealing with people in general.
Valette was autistic and had a very nervous tick he was ashamed of, and it considerably worssen when he was around unknown people. It took a while for him to get to know William enough for his nerves to calm down when either of them interacted, and now it almost seemed that Valette was just as friendly with William as he was with Janelle; however, that did not mean he was on the same level as Janelle, who was looked in the eye by Valette at least twice when spoken to.
William smiled as he took a seat beside Valette on the comfronter. "I was wondering if you wanted to accompany me to the supermarket. Janelle is putting the grocery list on me and I kind of don't want to go alone."
If it was one thing Valette hated and avoided was human interaction, which included going to parties, taking a walk in the park, groccery shopping, seeing his social agent, and group therapies. Valette clutched the book harder as his electrifying blue eyes looked at the gold carpet. There was absolutely no way he was going out in public. He was getting nervous again. The amount of space between him and William was too close for him to handle and the sheer thought of him having to go out in public and experience people was all too much for him to handle. He got up, ready to bolt out of the room, when a hand larger than his own grabbed his wrist.
"Valette-"
"No."
"It's alright-"
"No!" He shook his hand in vain of trying to get the other hand to let him go.
William let him go and held his hands up in defense to show he meant no harm, but Valette did not even look in his direction as he immediately ran away from the man and the room. William heard a door slam and took that as an indication that Valette looked himself up in his room for the fifth time this month.
He winced. Janelle was going to be pissed. All he was trying to do was get the younger male to open up to him. He was a friendly guy and easy to get along with, and there was not a single person who resented him for his attitude, but the way Valette refused to open up to him was really getting to him. He tried many ways to get the male to participate in many of the activities he had planned just for the two of them, including video gaming and roller skating. True to his words, Valette was not a people person.
William ran a hand through his chestnut colored hair. Grocery shopping was his last attempt at trying to get the other male out with him; he had no other plans and he had royally messed up this time.
* * * * *
When dinner had rolled around, Valette was still in his room and had stayed in his room even when Janelle had tried to coax him out. He had heard her yelling at William again for driving him to his room. Eventually, however, he did venture out of his room after many apologies from William. His attitide was sullen but he forgave him and together all three of them ate dinner.
Later that night when Valette was in the kitchen washing the dinner plates and utenlizes they had used that night, Janelle punched William in the arm.
"Ow man," he complained. "Do not ever do that again."
She crossed her arms. "I told you countless times, moran. Valette is a sensitive guy. When you handle him, make sure you are gentle. He is like a stray cat and you are scaring him."
She pinched him. "Seriously, stop hurting me. And stop comparing the guy to animals. Just the other day you compared him to a dwarf hamster and now he's a skittish cat? You got to stop that."
Janelle leaned back in her chair at the table as she watched William get up from his seat and walk towards the counter, no doubt looking for liquor. "What I'm trying to say, William, is that he is a very catious person. When you do things to him without thinking about how he will react there are always consequences. And like the other five times, you've banquished him to his room. Stop that, I hid the liquor anyway!"
William looked up from rumbling the junk in the counters. He was trying to make enough noise to drown out Janelle but that was clearly not working.
"Anyway," she continued, "I can tell you have your eyes on him."
William accidently tripped over air.
"I can tell you're interested in him, even if you can't. It's on your face and the way you treat him, Will."
"What the hell are you talking about? I don't swing that way and I think you should stop impying I do. All I want is the guy to enjoy life a little bit. Being cooped up in this house is doing nothing good for him."
William did not swing that way. There was no way he swung that way. Absolutely no way.
Janelle rolled her eyes.
Valette choose that moment to enter the dining room again.
"Well, would you look at the time. I have to go," Janelle said as she looked at her phone. "Work in the morning. See yall another night. Also, Will, please be nice."
William folded his arms across his chest. "I have no idea what you mean. I'm nice all of the time."
Janelle rolled her eyes again. "See you tomorrow, Valette. Don't let Will get to you, alright? He's a bit of a douche sometimes."
Valette did not met her eyes but nodded in acknowledgement.
She gathered her things, her dropped brief case and coat, and walked out of the front door and down the hall to the elveator, where she pressed the up button for the sixth floor.
The air between the two was now awkward and William was the first to break the tension.
"Well, I'm going to turn in."
"William."
William stopped and turned around to face Valette when he thought he heard a meek voice call out his name. The other male was not looking at him, as to be expected, but there was a tint of regret on his freatures as he looked at the funiture next to him.
When Valette did not say anything more, William sighed.
"Valette," William started but stopped. How was he supposed to say this, seeing as the male was a lot more fragile than he looked? He was taking into consideration about what Janelle said and quite frankly, he feels as though anything he says will be offensive to Valettte.
"Nevermind." And William walked away, leaving Valette alone in the kitchen.

Way To Recovery - Chapter 2
Summary: It’s another show for One Direction in just another town but this show will take a turn to the worst. Nobody sees the man with the gun before it’s to late and Niall has to fight for his life. 
Read on Wattpad
previous chapter
The second interview was just as good as the first one and luckily even shorter.
They were asked similiar questions but this time it wasn’t live and they were sure, the final interview would be even shorter. But they didn’t care and they didn’t want to think about it anymore. If they were to overthink every single interview they were a part of, there wouldn’t be anything else in their minds and that wasn’t good at all. There were more important things in their heads than interviews.
For example where to stand on the big stage. That’s what soundcheck was for. Well, part of it.
Because they were performaning at many different venues, they always had to make sure, the stage was built the right way, well it wasn’t the boys part to make sure of that, the microphones were working the right way, every instrument could be heard in the whole stadium and and and.
It was a lot of work and very exhausting.
Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall didn’t need to sing every song they would sing but they had to be sure where to stand and they needed to remember their choreography. They weren’t the best dancers, they knew that, but there were some parts of some songs where they just had to dance. It weren’t just any dance movers. They were the ones they did for fun when the band was formed and the moves just never died. Plus the fans loved them.
The soundcheck was about two hours long. That was a good time though. Sometimes, nothing seemed to be working and they had to test everything until the fans were already coming into the stadium.
Today was a good day though. The boys arrived at the venue, had to do the soundcheck, everybody worked perfectly and now they were sitting in their dressing room. Those were always a surprise as well. If they were lucky it would be just like this one. Enough sofas to for ten people to sit on (and they were really very comfortable and soft), wooden parkett, which reflected the light from the chandelier above their heads and a mini fridge with everything they could possibly need.
There were dressing rooms though, were there was only one broken down sofa for all of them to sit on and a toilet in the next room. That was basically it but this one was just perfect.
Liam, Louis and Harry were playing Mario Kart on the Wii while Niall fell asleep with his head laying in Liam’s lap. How he didn’t wake up with the boys screaming and swearing – they didn’t know but they were happy the youngest boy could get some sleep. They were all aware of the fact that Niall couldn’t sleep very well while they were on tour, as he was so nervous about all the poeple who would be there just to see him. Sadly, Niall was a very self-conscious boy and even though the boys tried to remind him of how beautiful and perfect he was, it never really woked.
They’d never stop telling him though.
„Oh, damn it! Come on, Louis, what was that for?!“ Liam shouted when Louis hit him with a blue shell and he lost the first postition.
„I’m sorry, Li but that’s how the game works“ Louis tried to calm down the oldest one but barely managing to do so. When Liam was angry, he was angry. It was on rare occasion that Liam would become angry and it almost only happens when they were playing Mario Kart.
Liam wanted to say something back but Lou, their make-up artist came into the room and looked at the mess in front of her. There were clothes and shoes everywhere, dirty glasses and bottles standing on the table in the middle of the room and it stinked.
„Hm“ was all she said. The boys were looking at here while she took a few more steps into the room. „You know you only have like an hour left before the show starts?“
The boys nodded. „Yeah, we know“ Harry said.
Lou wasn’t sure if she wanted to laugh or cry. She decided on a soft smile when she saw Niall, curled in on himself in Liam’s lap. „Well, at least someone doesn’t make a mess.“
Everybody looks down at Niall. Liam laughed. „Good you didn’t come in earlier then. There’s the corner, Niall took off his clothes“ He pointed to the nearest corner where there was the biggest pile of laundry. Lou groaned and faced the ceiling.
„Why are you so messy? Niall is allowed to be like that. He’s young and cute“ she said knowing what was to come. And it did.
„Niall isn’t that young“ Harry said pointedly. „He’s 20!“
„Yeah but you are all older than him. By more than 3 years. You are supposed to clean after him, not me“ Lou tried to explain. She didn’t mean it like that – the boys knew that – but it was funny how worked up they got when everything revolved around Niall. And Lou knew Niall was nowhere as safe as he was here with the boys.
She laughed. „Anyway. I actually came here to get you lot ready for your show which starts in“ she looked at her watch „55 minutes. Get up now.“
The boys were the ones to groan now but Louis and Harry stood up and came to her. Liam woke up Niall.
„Hey Niall, I know you’re tired but it’s time to get ready for the show. Do you think you can wake up for me?“ His voice was very soft and catious. He didn’t want to scare Niall by waking him up all of the sudden and with his loud voice. It didn’t matter that they were screaming at the TV just a minute ago.
Niall pressed his eyelids together, waking up. He turned his head so he was pressed up to Liam’s belly. Liam put his hand in Niall’s hair and started petting him, knowing it would help waking him up and it did.
Slowly, Niall opened his eyes, showing the ocean blue of his eyes while looking towards Liam’s stomach and a light laugh escaped the oldest mouth. „Are you awake enough to stand up and become beautiful?“ he asked and heard Lou laughing behind his back, where the door was.
Eyebrows scrunching up, Niall looked up into Liam’s brown eyes and asked in a scratchy tone: „Become beautiful? Do you think I am not beautiful?“
Liam laughed and shook his head. „You are very beautiful, Ni but Lou can make you even more beautiful.“
A sigh escaped Niall’s mouth while he sat up, looking around the room like he was only realising where they were at the moment. But as soon as he remembered, he looked over to the door where Louis, Harry and Lou were still standing and waiting for him and Liam to come. The dressing room was really nice but there wasn’t a mirror or any other equipment for Lou to put make-up on the boys‘ faces. That’s why they had to head over to the room next to this one.
„Okay, let’s go“ Niall said and they all made their way to the other room.
---
„How long until the show starts, Li?“ Niall asked.
The four of them were sitting behing the stage on a few boxes and waiting for the time to go on stage. They could hear the fans screaming their names and demanding the beginning of the show but schedule was schedule and they weren’t allowed to start only a minute earlier than the plan said.
One corner of the stadium was singing a song by them but because of the constand screaming of the fangirls, the boys weren’t sure what song it was. But there was another big group of girls only, standing closer to the stage and they were singing ‚What Makes You Beautiful‘ but instead of ‚You‘ they put our names in the lyrics. One after one. It was really nice and they listened to them as they were really good singers.
Liam looked at his watch. „Hm, about five minutes I’d say. Are you nervous?“ Liam asks, knowing Niall was always nervous before their performances.
But Niall only shook his head and looked down at his feet. Liam went over to him and stood by his side where he could lay his arms around the young boy and hugged him quietly. „I know you’re nervous, Ni but that’s okay. I am also nervous and I’m sure Lou and Haz are as well, am I right guys?“ Liam asked the other two boys who were quickly nodding.
The three of them knew they weren’t realy nervous, having done this enough times to get used to it but the young boy was and probably forever will be scared by so many people. He hadn’t had a lot of good memories with big groups of people.
„You’re going to be awesome, Ni. I know it. You always are!“ Liam tried bulding the Irish lad up a bit.
Niall managed a small smile and hugged Liam back. A short moment later there were another two pairs of arm sneaking around the two and they ended up in a comfortable group hug. Niall laughed which caused the older three people to smile adoringly down at the blonde one. They all loved him very much.
Their hug ended when a member of their crew came over to them and told them to get ready which meant to get the positions on the circular plates on the ground which were about to literally throw them on stage.
They waited for the lights to go out because that meant it would only takes seconds before the show started.
Just then the lights went out and the fans were going crazy. Four lights were turned on on stage, each of them shining to the place where they would be on stage.
The music started and Harry began to sing. The boys were still underneath the stage but it always started like this – it was nothing new and the fans knew so also. Only a few more seconds and they were on stage. The anticipation was through the roof. Not only the fans were excited, the boys loved the shows as well.
Finally, the crew member gave the singers a thumbs up and everybody took their place. The thing with those plates they were standing on was, that the crew members had to pull on a string to catapult them on stage with their own strentgh. That’s why they were really muscular.
One second later the boys were standing on stage. The fans were going crazy, screaming their names and how much they loved them. Some fans held signs in the air and the singers tried to read them but because they were running around a lot and were almost moving all of the time, they couldn’t read many. The ones from the fans in the first few rows were really easy to read though and the boys were smiling while seeing the things the fans said about them. Niall was grinning the brightest though.
The show was amazing. Not only were the fans incredibly hyped, Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall were also. The whole stadium was buzzing with energy, nobody wanted the evening to end.
Shows like this one, were One Direction was performing in such a huge stadium, were always a bit more crazy as there were more people and while they were often very nice to each other, there were also people shoving each other as there was little to no space left to breath. Teenager after teenager was standing in front of the stage.
Niall often wondered how the security guards were keeping up with so many people. He thought it to be impossible.
They just finished singing „Don’t Forget Where You Belong“ and Liam was talking to the fans.
„Wow, you are amazing. Every single one of you and I don’t think we ever had such an incredible audience. Thank you so much for always being there for us because even though you don’t think so, we know very much that you are a very big part of our lives.“
While he was talking, the fans and the boys were concentrating on the oldest words. Of course, Harry and Louis, childish as they were, were fighting each other at the front of the stage with Liam standing a bit behind. Niall was standing on the main stage, the big one, right in front of the musicians.
Nobody noticed the slightly oler than the ‚common‘ fangirl man, who was hiding in between the screaming girls. The security guards couldn’t see him and apparently nobody searched him for any weapons when he went into the stadium as he was holding a small gun in his right hand. Even the girls standing next to him didn’t see the weapon and weren’t aware of the danger they were in right now.
Good for them, the man wasn’t going to shoot any of the fans. No.
With one swift movement, he raised his right hand with the gun pointing on one of the singers. The security guards, who were standing nearest to him, saw the gun and started shouting but nobody realised what they were shouting.
The moment, Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall were turning towards the louder voices, a shot could be heard, then a second and a third.
The stadium was quiet. Everybody but a few security guards were holding their breath. Nobody realised what happened while the gurads where holding the gunman in their arms, preventing anything more to happen.
While the man was being held, there was turmoil going on on stage. Right after the shot was heard, the boys were standing in shock, waiting for the pain to come. But nothing came.
Relieved they looked each other in the eye. Harry looked at Louis, Louis at Liam and Liam at Harry. They were all okay, standing like nothing happened. Except the shock still ringing through their bones. The eyes widened when they realised there was one boy missing.
They turned around to the main stage and they saw the worst thing they would ever see in life.
Niall was standing – no not really standing. He was crouched over, hardly breathing and pressing his hand over his chest, while holding himself upright with his other hand. His eyes were half lidded, like it was a fight to keep them open and around him – the other three boys gasped – was a puddle of blood, slowly forming and tinting the stage red.
As fast as they could, they were running towards the blonde lad and knelt beside him.
„Niall! Can you hear me?“ Liam shouted.
Niall didn’t answer, a sob escaped his mouth and tears were leaving his blue eyes.
„We have to roll him around, Liam. We can’t stop the bleeding when he’s in this position“ Louis said and Liam asked himself how he was this calm. Well, he wasn’t calm but he could think rationally.
Without thinking about it too much, they turned Niall around. Harry and Liam were putting their hands on the bleedings, trying to stop them but they realised soon enough, they couldn’t do it. The wounds were too deep and seemed to hit near his lungs, if not the lungs themselves. Harry, Louis and Liam didn’t realise they were crying and the crowd around them was evacuated, in case there were more gunmen.
„Please get out of the way. We’re the paramedics“ somebody said.
Liam looked up, the tears blurring his vision but he saw the unmistakable uniform of the paramedics, who were there for every show. He got out of the way while the paramedics were looking Niall over.
Niall was looking at the ceiling, barely breathing. Liam took his hand in his own and looked him right in the eyes.
„Niall, please. You have to stay here with me, okay?“
Niall’s eyes were now trained on the brown ones but he wasn’t completely able to focus on them. „Liam. It hurts so much.“ His eyes were slowly drooping.
A sob escaped Liam’s mouth. He wasn’t sure what was happening around them because the only thing that mattered was Niall. „I know and I’m sorry it does. You’re going to be okay. I’m right here and I won’t leave your side. Just stay awake. Please!“
It was obvious how hard Niall tried to listen to Liam, trying to keep his eyes open but then finally, they closed.
The paramedics were hectic. They shouted something about lungs and collapsed but Liam didn’t hear them. Harry and Louis were also just sitting there, not knowing what to do.
„We have to bring him to the hospital. Now! Or he won’t make it.“ With those words, the paramedics were carrying Niall on a gurney off the stage and towards the ambulance.
Liam, without realising it, stood up and followed them. If the paramedics didn’t want him to be there, they didn’t show it. They began their way to the hospital, leaving Harry and Louis and everyone else at the stadium.
Niall was laying all bloody and lifeless in the ambulance and Liam took his phone out of his pocket. He dialed a number and held his phone against his ear.
„Maura, it’s Liam“ he said, his voice sounding like a robot. All emotionless.

Thanks @grand-prix for the tag, I haven't done of these in forever. 10 facts about me: 1) even though I've had horses my entire life, I didn't take my first riding lesson until college 2) I've only fallen off 6 times so far. This has less to do with my skill as a rider, and more the fact that I'm catious rider and don't put myself in situtations I'm not cofindent in 3) I've never fallen off the same horse twice. I fell off Mary my second ride on her, so I'm hoping I keep the streak alive and that was my one with her 😂 4) despite the url, I've never had a palamino. I actually got it from a a Terry farley book. 5) I considered getting a PhD in equine sciences, but decided to stick with traditional biology, and will be starting that in August 6) I'm teaching a biochem class this summer, and I'm actually kinda of nervous. I've tutored chemistry for a few years now, but teaching a class is a whole different ball game. 7) my research lab is a protein biophysics lab, and I specifally do nmr on proteins to see their dynamics. 8) I don't know how to use the the cruise control options on cars. My first car was a stick and didn't have that and I feel too old to ask lol 9) besides horse, I also play for a quidditch team. I play as a chaser 10) Sam's club is my favorite store and my roommate and I used to go once a week, even if we didn't need anything. 10 facts about Mary 1) she is turning 8 in two weeks 2) she's traditionally trained as a hunter, but came from a barn that really emphasised flat work, so she can school up to 3rd level dressage moves 3) she was a gift to me from an old trainer when the trainer retired 4) she had epm, and has nerve damage in her left hip, so it's hard for her to carry herself in a traditional frame. 5) her favorite treat is peppermints 6) she's very smart and learns everything I try to clicker train her within a few minutes. 7) she hates repetition, and will fight you if You try to make her continue doing it after she believe she's done it correctly 8) her spook is freezing, and you cannot move her when she's frightened. This has led to some embarrassing moments 9) she ran in one race and came in dead last and never raced again 10) I'd like to try western pleasure with her at some point, she moves super slow and loooves that headset
