The Ziall Chronicles: #1 Distractions

A/N: So I really like this plot. I don't know if it will turn out well or not but I hope it does 'cause I love it.

But yeah, here's some cute Ziall brotherly stuffs that I just thought would be really cute.

AND BEFORE YOU GET AT ME, yes I know Niall's hair wasn't always blond but this is (unfortunately) fiction so shh.

HERE YOU GO:



"Yes! In your face, Louis!" Zayn fist pumps the air and grins, staring at the TV screen as his soldier takes the flag.

"Fuck you, Zayn," Louis curses through his headset, only making Zayn taunt him.

"It's only a game, Lou Lou," he parrots, copying Louis' words from only about ten minutes ago.

"Shut up."

"Bit of a sore loser, aren't we?"

"You know what? This is it. This round is the decider and whoever wins is the ultimate champion."

Zayn considers. It's almost 11 O'clock on a Sunday night and he needs to go to sleep. But he can't pass up an opportunity to humiliate Louis further. "Okay. But let's make it a little more interesting."

"How?"

Zayn thinks for a second before smirking. "You know the really hot guy in year eleven, Liam?"

"Liam Payne? Yeah, he's well fit."

"Well, whoever loses has to go and tell him they want him to fuck their brains out."

Zayn hears Louis swear under his breath before agreeing, "Fine."

"You sound troubled, Tomlinson. Scared of losing?"

"Not on your nelly."

Just as Zayn is about to press the button to start a new match, he hears a quiet call of his name from the doorway.

"Zayn?"

"Hold on, Louis."

Zayn kneels up on the couch and turns around to see his little brother, Niall, at the door to the gaming room (originally it was the spare room but Zayn moved the old TV from the garage and the couch from his and Niall's room in there. Add his X box and voila, gaming room). He smiles fondly at the sight of the four year old clutching his red teddy bear (creatively named 'Bear'), covering the microphone of his headset as he says, "What's the matter, mate?"

Niall scrambles towards Zayn, getting on the couch with him. "Bear had a bad dream and now he's scared."

Zayn chuckles fondly at Niall pinning his fear on the bear and trying to be a 'big boy' as he so commonly names himself. He looks at Zayn like he's some sort of God, never letting his mum do anything for him, always, 'I want Zayn to play with me!' or 'I want Zayn to read me a story!' Zayn can't deny the soft spot he has for Niall, finding it adorable how he's always trying to be like Zayn. He's never known why his brother is closer to him than his mother but he wouldn't change it for the world.

"Poor Bear. Tell you what Niall, why don't you and Bear go and get back into bed and I'll come in and read you another story in a few minutes?"

Zayn thinks it's a fair compromise but Niall's face crumples.

"But there are monsters in our room, you have to come and make them run away because you're brave! I'm brave too but Bear thinks you're braver and Bear is scared so he needs you to do it."

Zayn glances longingly at the TV screen, taking his hand off of the microphone to ask Louis, "Louis?"

"Yes, arseface?"

Zayn rolls his eyes, "Can you just give me like ten minutes? Niall - I mean, Bear had a bad dream and I need to go and check for monsters."

"You're lying, Zayn, I know it. You're just going to go and look up cheat codes."

"No I'm not! Look, Niall, tell Louis that I need to go and save Bear from monsters."

Zayn holds out the microphone to Niall but he shrinks back shyly, shaking his head. Niall is quite scared of Louis, with his sharp features and bad boy words. Niall repeated one of the words once and his mum took away Bear for the entire night. Niall had to go into Zayn's bed and cuddle with him instead.

Zayn sighs. "Niall won't talk to you, he doesn't want to."

"God, Zayn, you're such a liar. Look, start the match now or forfeit and go and tell Payne that you want him to fuck you."

"Fine!"

Zayn covers the microphone again, looking at the boy snuggled up to him, face in his bare chest as he cuddles Bear and sucks his thumb.

"Niall, do you think you could wait like five minutes? I just need to finish this and then I'll go and chase away the monsters."

Niall clutches him, whimpering, "No!"

Zayn sighs again, quickly working out a plan in his head. "Tell you what Niall, you can sit here with me until I'm finished and then we'll go to bed, okay?"

Niall nods, closing his eyes.

"Just don't tell mum I let you stay up with me, she'll kill me."

Niall nods again, mumbling around his thumb. Zayn uncovers his microphone, leaning forward despite Niall still holding onto him and says, "Okay, Tomlinson, let's go."

He gets no reply but takes it that he's getting a drink while Zayn was talking to Niall. The sound of a grenade fills the room and Niall jumps, eyes flying open as he clutches Zayn's arm. He looks first to the screen which is flashing red, then to his big brother, his big, brave brother who isn't scared of monsters. He loves his brother. He cuddles into his chest, rubbing his blond, tufty hair against him and is surprised when Zayn jerks back with a giggle.

"Niall, stop that! I'm trying to beat Louis."

Niall looks up at Zayn to see him smiling. Smiling means you're happy, right? And Niall wants to make Zayn happy, so he smiles at him and rubs his head all over his ribs. Zayn starts laughing, wriggling and fighting the urge to drop the controller and grab Niall.

"Nihihiall, stohohop!"

But Niall persists, dropping Bear on the floor and poking at Zayn's sides, making him twist on the couch and fall on the floor, the controller flying from his hands. As he goes to push himself to his feet, Niall jumps on his back and starts scribbling at his sides childishly, making him laugh and collapse back onto his front, reaching behind him to grab his little brother and put him on the floor next to him.

"Niall, I need to-"

"Rawr! I'm a lion!"

Niall starts crawling around on the floor, roaring a tiny roar and pretending to be fierce. Zayn rolls his eyes and smiles fondly at him.

"Oh, are you now?"

"Yes," Niall declares, "and I'm going to eat you!"

"Oh no you're not!"

Zayn gets on his knees and grabs Niall, gathering both of his tiny wrists in one hand and pinning him to the floor gently. He lifts up his shirt, running his fingers over Niall's sides before leaning down and blowing a raspberry, making Niall squeal and laugh, kicking his legs.

Zayn let's Niall's wrists go and picks him up by the waist lifting him high above his head to make him shriek and giggle.

"ZaynZaynZaynZaynZayn!" He squeals in a messy line of jibberish, smiling brightly and making grabby hands at his brother. Zayn laughs and lowers Niall down on top of him, looking down at him fondly as he wraps his limbs around him, like a koala. His blond hair tucks under Zayn's chin and Zayn sits up, holding onto Niall. With slight difficulty, he picks up Bear from where he was abandoned on the couch and makes his way to his and Niall's room. Turning on the little night light, he pulls back Niall's covers and slips him into his bed, tucking Bear into his arms. Niall's eyes open and he holds up his arms, murmuring sleepily, "Kiss."

And Zayn can't help but smile, leaning down to kiss Niall's cheek because he really does love his brother. He strokes his soft hair and whispers, "Time for sleeping now, babe."

"Monsters?" Niall mumbles, closing his eyes.

"No monsters. I promise."

Niall yawns and turns on his side, holding onto Bear and burying his face in the fabric.

"Night night, Zayn. Love you."

"Love you too, Niall."

Zayn waits until he hears Niall's breathing slow before standing up and backing out of the room, taking one last peek at his sleeping brother before closing it quietly behind him. He goes back down the hall to the gaming room, picking up the controller that was abandoned from earlier and groans, thinking he lost and he's going to have to tell Liam he wants him to fuck him.

But when he looks at the screen he sees it says, 'DRAW' in large, red capitals, making him scrunch up his nose in confusion. He picks up his headset from the floor where it had fallen off his head when Niall tackled him.

"Louis?" He says, curiously.

Louis doesn't reply but he hears faint laughter, making him even more confused.

A few minutes later though, he hears the voice of his older brother, Harry.

"Sorry I ruined your match, Zayn. I had to...borrow Louis for a while."

He hears Louis' voice in the background saying, "I hate you."

"Love you too."

There's some static and fumbling noises before Louis speaks.

"Hello?" He sounds out of breath, his voice tainted with embarrassment.

"Where did you go? Did you play at all?"

"No, I didn't play. Harry wanted me."

"What for?"

There's silence on the other line and another voice, muffled because they're too far away from the microphone.

"Shut up, Harry!"

Zayn is growing impatient now.

"Oi, arsehat, what did he do?"

"Gotta go, bye-"

There's a scuffling sound and Louis yells, "NO, HARRY!"

"I tickled him. You're welcome."

"YOU FU-"

The line goes dead. Zayn smirks.

He will definitely be using this information in the future.



A/N: So that didn't turn out like I thought it would but hey, cute Ziall incest, that should be enough to hold you until TBOTB Part Twelve.

There might be a part two to this where I write about why Harry was helping Zayn and what he did but only if you guys want it.

I'm not sure when TBOTB will be up because I'm nowhere near finished writing but if it isn't up for a while I'll be sure to at least try to write a few one shots to keep you going.

Also, courtesy of somebody who commented on a journal post (I'm sorry, I can't remember your name) I have planned out an entire sequel to TBOTB for when it finishes. I'm not sure what it's called yet but it's more about Zayn and Mystery OC. And it is a possibility that there is a third book about Niall and Liam and I'M GOING TO FAST OH MY GOD STOP!

But yes, it will have more drama (I think some of you will like it) and of course, still have a lot of tickling as that's what TBOTB was about in the third place.

In the third place.

What is wrong with me today.

OH, OH, OH, and if you haven't seen them already I posted a journal that has character profiles for TBOTB (including Mystery OC) so if you want to check them out they have each characters age, a scaley thing on 1-10 of how ticklish they are in different places and their opinions on being lees and lers.

BYYYYYYE *twiddles fingers*
