This is so, so, so incredibly good. Niall is too adorable and the fact that they got together through LITERATURE ugh I'm dead. My favorite sentence is the second to last one :)

Also Lilo! Amazing<3

Awww, hon! Thank you so much for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed, I'm not nearly the fic expert you are. <3 <3

And you know me, how could I resist a little Lilo action. ;)

what are yOU DOING OT ME

Usually (actually, all the time now) he’s not saying anything to Niall, but reaching for him. Grabbing for Niall’s wrist, or maybe hooking his fingers through Niall’s belt loops, and just letting his hand rest there. It becomes their habit.

kms because zaYN and this is so earnest he really does always grab for niall stop

“How do you know the book is set in Victorian times?” Niall doesn’t really answer, he just laughs, and that’s okay because Zayn’s already reaching out for him.

NIALL TOTALLY GOOGLED/WIKIPEDIA-D THE BOOK FOR HIM OHMYGOD

“You don’t want to hear about it.” Zayn looks at the floor, he’s never felt so embarrassed in his life, and that includes getting told off by Simon Cowell on national television for not dancing.

i giggled irl at this lol

And now Zayn feels all the air being punched out of him because he isn’t reaching for Niall. This time Niall’s the one reaching out for him: first putting a hand on his shoulder, then his whole arm. And Zayn could laugh because, how did he not realize

I love this! Niall is so sweet in his teasing and I really like their relationship. I really needed a literary Zayn in my life. Seriously, I'm clinging to the fact that he wanted to be an English teacher so hopefully he actually reads. (I work at a library and that time that Niall said he had read a book once, "How To Kill a Mockingbird", nearly killed me.)

Exactly, that's what I was thinking of the whole time while writing this! I like a bit of artist Zayn/frat boy Niall, but I really wanted some literary Zayn too, so I just had to write it! I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the idea of intellectual Zayn. :)
