A/N: for the lovely Bookoholic15 :) just cuz I wanted to. The song for this is 'Fall For You' by Secondhand Serenade. Hope you like it. Luv you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liam's POV
Standing against the doorway of our room, I watch his sleeping face, the light from the hallway lighting up his features.
He's frowning in his sleep, occasionally moving around and letting out light whimpers. Creases on his forehead making him look older, more stressed out than he appears when he's awake. The normal flush on his pale face gone, leaving his face just that; pale. He's upset, stressed out.
And it's all my fault.
We've been fighting every night ever since the tour started, constant arguments taking place every night, yelling and screaming, accusations and tears. None of it is his fault, far from it.
It's my fault, the stress has been getting to me and I foolishly take it out on him. He tries to stay calm but ends up yelling too. We barely go out on dates anymore what with photo shoots, concerts, meet and greets, practices and all that stuff going on; we barely have time for ourselves much less for dates. Louis, Harry and Zayn aren't as affected as us because well, they deal with it better than us and they're not dating each other. But tonight was different.
We didn't fight. It was completely silent in our shared flat. Dead silent. Not even talking. Just us two and our thoughts.
And it's killing me, I can't help but think he's going to end things between us. I don't want that, sure we are going through rough times but we can deal with them. I don't want him giving up on us. The worst part is that, I think I'm falling out of love with him. I will fall for him again. My life without him means nothing. Absolutely nothing without him.

"The best thing bout tonight's that we're not fighting,
Could it be that we have been this way before,
I know you don't think that I'm trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core." I start to sing softly, not wanting to wake him up.
But he's always been a light sleeper, the smallest sound wakes him up. So it's no surprise when his eyes flutter open, revealing the vibrant blue orbs that I adore. He looks at me with a sad look, takes a deep breath and sits up.
Taking a step toward him, I continue singing, "This is not what I intended
I always swore to you that I'd never fall apart,
You always thought that I was stronger," Holding my hand out for him, I smile as his hand grasps mine.
He gives me a small smile and I bring his body to mine in a tight yet gentle embrace.
"Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you,
Over again,
Don't make me change my mind.
Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true,
Because a boy like you is impossible to find, it's impossible.
So breathe in so deep Breath me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep,
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you,
Over again,
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true,
Because a boy like you is impossible to find."
I feel him shaking silently in my arms, I just hold him tighter scared that he'll leave. He pushes me back until he's facing me, tears running down his cheeks. The adorable blush back on his cheeks, lips trembling as he looks up at me.

"Niall, I'm sorry." I whisper.
"For what?" He asks quietly in the Irish accent that I love.
"For everything. I shouldn't have taken out my problems on you. It wasn't fair on my part, you didn't deserve any of that. The words that I said," I shake my head remembering clearly the words that I threw at him "those words, I didn't mean any of them. I was just stressed out and I didn't know what to do. I regret ever yelling at you over something that was not your fault. I promised to keep you happy and I broke it. I'm so sorry. I know that won't make up for all that I put you through. But I really am. I'm so-"
Feeling a warm pressure on my hand, I stop and look down. Two hands locked together, a perfect match.
"See that Li. My hand fits perfectly with yours. Like it's meant to be." My eyes stay on our hands as Niall speaks softly.
"Why me? There's seven billion people in the world and you chose a jerk." I spit out, disgusted with myself.
A gentle hand lifts my chin up, I lock eyes with Niall and he smiles lightly "There's seven billion people in the world, I could choose any of them. But none of them will ever make me feel the way you do. They don't cause butterflies to erupt in my stomach at their touch. They're not the reason I smile everyday. They don't create sparks whenever we kiss. They not the man I love...they're not you Liam."
A tear escapes my eye at the sincerity of his words. I know he'll stay with me no matter what. And I love him for that. He'll never leave me.
"I'll wait for you even if it takes years."
I look at him curiously "What do you mean Ni?"
He lets out a short laugh "I know you don't really love me anymore. You've fallen out of love with me. I understand."
I untangle my hand from his and cup his face as if he's made of glass "Maybe you won't have to wait years."
I press my lips to his, the familiar sparks going off at the touch. Guiding him back to the bed, I murmur against his soft lips "Hold your breath because Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again."

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road website. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know.
