4- The Beautiful Mistake We Made

Niall didn't understand.

He didn't understand what was his fathers fussing about. Six year-old Niall was going to start his first day of kindergarten tomorrow, with Harry that already started last year, and his fathers were making a huge fuss out of it. They've been giving him various talks about how to make friends, how to behave around the teachers, what type of friends he should be around with, and if he is facing any problem, he can go to Harry. And now, they're taking him to the mall to buy new clothes, and other new stuff for school. What he didn't understand was he already has a school bag that he uses to pretend he's in school, he has so many clothes and some of them he never got a chance to wear, and he still has a good set of Toy Story stationary set that he hasn't use, so why buy new ones? Nevertheless, he didn't mutter a word about it, because his fathers look so happy about it. He would rather stay with Louis and Harry at Uncle Ed's house and play with them, rather then go to the big and boring shopping mall. He also didn't understand the cold hard look that his nine year-old brother, Louis, gave him when they drove off from Uncle Ed's home. Niall is currently sitting on Liam's lap, counting the cars that they drove by, mindlessly playing with Liam's fingers and Liam mindlessly running his other hands in Niall's dirty blond hair.

He could hear his fathers talking happily in the background but he ignored it. His mind was in a really nervous and excited state; he's nervous because he is scared that the kids in kindergarten wouldn't like him, albeit, excited that he'll finally get to learn stuff that Harry and Louis learns. He used to watched them in envy as Louis and Harry sat on the floor with their homework in front of them and Liam sitting next to them, helping. A smile formed on his lips at the thought of doing his homework with his brothers, with Papa and Daddy helping them.

“What are you smiling at bub?” Liam chuckled as he pinched Niall's chubby cheeks lightly.

“Nothing,” Niall replied with the smile still plastered on his face. He swatted Liam's hand away playfully, but Liam only moved his hands to tickle his armpits. Niall squealed in laughter, as he falls back to Liam's chest, trying to swat hi Daddy's hand away. He could hear Zayn chuckling at his son's and husband's antic, but made no move to join them because he was driving.

“Are you excited for school Ni?” Zayn asked him the same question he'd been asking him for the past week.

“Yes Papa,” Niall answered politely nevertheless.

“We're gonna buy you some new clothes, a school bag and your favorite Power Ranger stationary set. How does that sound?” Liam asked, bouncing Niall lightly on his lap.

“Power Ranger set? Like Lou's?” Niall asked excitedly, his excitedly baby blue eyes shone brightly.

“Just like Lou's,” Liam replied, kissing Niall on the head.

Niall let his small body turned into a dress up doll as his father picked out nearly twenty sets of clothes and decided to buy half of it. The only fun he had was when Liam and Zayn let him picked out what Power Ranger stationary design he wanted and a Transformer school bag. He immediately grew attached to his new bag pack, and decided to wear it right away. Niall walked in the mall with his new Transformer school bag proudly holding has father's hand. He managed to persuade them to get some Papa John's pizza takeaway for dinner, Liam and Zayn couldn't possibly say no to the boy (Especially Zayn, since Niall changed Papa John into Papa Zayn).

***

It was during dinner Niall noticed that Louis was still giving him a cold shoulder and Harry wasn't talking to him. He was slightly puzzled when they just brushed him off when he wanted to show them his new school bag and stationary set. Usually, when one of them wanted to show something to the others, they would pay full attention and throw in extra compliments and stuff, but Niall got a cold shoulder and a glare instead. Louis and Harry were much more attracted to the two boxes of hot pizza that Daddy was carrying. Niall immediately brushed it off, thinking that his bother was hungry.

Another strange thing happened during dinner, when Louis purposely took Niall's special plate that he only uses to eat pizza, his favorite food. It has small teddy bears around it, eating a cheese pizza, creating mess around him. It was a present form Zayn's Mom when Niall was five, and he only uses it to eat pizza.

“Lou,...that's my plate,” Niall pointed out softly and timidly, not wanting to offend his big brother.

“You can eat in mine,” Lou replied causally, shoving Niall his own late roughly.

“But,...” Niall started, feeling a tad bit sad “That's mine,”

“Lou, come on,...you know that is Niall's plate,” Zayn warned him.

“Ugh, fine,..here,” Louis said annoyingly. But accidentally, he shoved it across the table a little too hard, causing it to fell of the table before anyone could stop it. Upon impact with the floor, the plate with cut-up pizza on it broke into pieces, right in front of Niall's eyes.

“M-My plate,” Niall whimpered, tears welling up in his eyes.

“I-I'm sorry Niall,” Louis stuttered, feeling that he has taken this too far. He didn't mean to break it, he was just trying to get on Niall's nerve.

“Louis William Payne-Malik, why did you do that?” Liam scolded his eldest son. He was rather surprise by Louis' action, because he knew what that simple plate meant to Niall, and it didn't seem right for Louis to act this way, because he wouldn't do this knowing that it would affect his brother.

“I'm sorry Daddy!” Louis pleaded, feeling panicked and guilty at the same time.

“You're grounded for three days Louis,” Zayn spoke authoritatively, his eyes hard.

Dinner was rather silent that night, except for Niall's occasional sniffles but not really crying. He was sad that Louis got the blame when the fault was his; he should have caught the plate when Louis shove it to him. It was all his fault. He made a mental note to apologize to Louis after shower.

***

Louis didn't want to do it.

It literally hurts him to see his brothers sad, but he had to do it. He was angry,...and anger makes people do stupid things. He was angry because the spotlight was always on Niall; it wasn't really a deal to him before, because Niall deserves all the attention just for being his lovely self, but when Niall was going to start school, Louis felt neglected by his Daddy. Usually, a week before school starts, Daddy would take him out, just the two of them, to a nearby ice-cream parlor. They would spent the whole day together, and talked about random stuff. Louis won't admit it, but it was better than celebrating his birthday. It was a ritual since Louis was seven, but this year, Liam had forgot their ritual because of Niall.

Louis know that it was immature of him to make a huge deal out of this, and to take his anger out on Niall. Niall was totally oblivious, and if there is anyone to be blame, it should be his Daddy. But he was just a small boy, not knowing any better. He felt extremely sick that he did all those things to Niall; from ignoring him, giving him a cold shoulder, to breaking his favorite plate. He could practically see the how Niall was hurt by his actions, but he brushed it off, convincing himself that Niall deserved it. He even managed to get Harry on his side, because he knew that Daddy and Papa would totally be on Niall's side. To say that he was ashamed of is totally an understatement.

Niall walked slowly down the hall in his pajamas with his Power Ranger, fresh out of shower. He felt slightly better after having a bubble bath with his Papa, even though he was getting a tad bit old for it. Papa had promised to replace Niall's plate, making him feel slightly better. He told Papa that it was his fault for not catching the plate when Louis shove it to him. Zayn couldn't help but to smile proudly at Niall because the little boy might be small, but his heart is bigger than everyone in the house combined. Every Sunday night is Power Rangers Role-Playing night, where they would gather in Louis room and act as their favorite Power Rangers characters. Niall even reminded himself to apologize to Louis, and give him a big Nialler-hug. When he reached Louis' room, he was surprised that the door was locked, because it was strictly against the rule for them to close their doors. Niall tried to turn the doorknob, only to find it to be locked.

“Lou? Haz? It's me!” Niall called out, knocking on the door.

“Go away Ni!” Lou replied back, causing Niall to take a step back. Louis was mad at him?

“Lou? It's Power Rangers night,...I wanna play too,” Niall pleaded.

“No, go away,” Louis replied back.

Slowly, Niall retreated from the door and went back to his room, holding back his tears. He took Ben from his toy chest, and played Power Rangers Role-Playing with Ben on his cold bed. Alone.He deserved this, because he got Louis grounded for three days. He felt lucky that Ben the bear will always be by his side, no matter how much he screw up.

Zayn was slightly surprise to find Niall passed out on his bed clutching Ben and his Power Rangers action figure. He was fairly sure that it was Power Rangers Role-Playing night, but he brushed it off thinking that Niall wanted a good night sleep to face his first day at kindergarten tomorrow. He took away the action figure but left Ben for Niall to cuddle and draped his orange blanket over him. He kissed Niall softly on the forehead and left them room with a smile.

“Do you think that Louis is acting a bit strange lately?” Liam asked as he snuggled in his husbands warmth. They both were lying in bed, lights off, trying to sleep.

“I don't know,...he seems normal to me. Sure he was a bit quite, I just thought that he was nervous about school,” Zayn replied, stealing a kiss from Liam.

“Yeah,..probably. I can't believe he broke Niall's pizza plate though,”

“I'm sure he didn't mean it. He knows how much that plate meant to Niall. Louis wouldn't hurt his brother on purpose, he loved them too much,”

“Yeah,..you're right Zayn,”

“I'm always right,” Zayn smirked.

“Dumbass,” Liam chuckled.

“Your dumbass,”

“Yes,” Liam smiled, kissing Zayn passionately “My dumbass,...all mine,”

Niall's first day of kindergarten wasn't as exciting as he thought it would be. Probably because he wasn't excited like his Daddy and Papa was for him. They woke him up early with a huge smile plastered on his face, and dressed him up in something fancy. They packed him four cheese and egg sandwiches with orange juice box for recess and gave him lots of kisses before leaving him on the school grounds. He swore he saw his Papa tearing up when he kissed him, and when he was in the car waving goodbye. The only thing on Niall's mind was Louis and Harry. They still ignored him this morning and Niall is determined to win them back. He missed talking, playing, hugging and cuddling with them. He wanted to share his first day of kindergarten experience with them, but he must earn their forgiveness first.

Instead of making friends in his first day, he spent his day sitting at his table alone, thing of ways to apologize to Louis and Harry. It was during art class that he finally gets an idea, where Mr. Dylan O'Brien, his art teacher, thought them how to make a simple pop-out card. Niall liked his art teacher, his young, funny, handsome and friendly. He told them to call him Dylan, instead of Mr. O'Brien, saying that he was still young and a virgin. Nobody in class laughed at that because none of them knows what “virgin” means.

“Hey there buddy,” Dylan walked up to Niall who is still working on his pop-out card whilst all the other other kids ran out of the class for recess. “You can finish this up at home you know,”

Niall looked up at his art teacher with a smile, and Dylan was taken aback by how deep and blue Niall's eye is.

“Need to finish this now, or Lou and Haz won't talk to me,” Niall replied politely, and went back to his task at hand.

“Who's Lou and Haz?” Dylan asked with a smile on lips. Niall really did remind of of his little brother.

Niall looked back up at him with a bigger smile and began babbling about his wonderful brothers and fathers. Dylan was slightly shocked to find that Niall has two fathers and no mother, but brushed it off since he knows that Niall wouldn't understand it yet. He listened tentatively to what Niall said, giving nods of encouragement every now and then. Niall told him about how his brothers were ignoring him because of something wrong he did, though in Dylan's opinion, Niall was the victim here.

“So,..can I help you?” Dylan asked, taking a seat on the small chair beside Niall “We could make a bigger card?”

“Really Mr. O'Brien?” Niall asked hopefully? “You want to help?”

“Sure! And it's Dylan to you, little guy,”

“I'm not little guy,” Niall huffed “I'm Niall James Javvad Malik-Payne,”

“That is annoyingly long,” Dylan muttered under his breath, making sure Niall didn't hear what he just said.

***

It was two days later when Louis woke up, only to find a big cardboard like thing covering half of his body. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and gave out a loud yawn before picking up the huge cardboard-like-thing on top of him. He had to wait a few minutes for his vision to lose it's blurriness and to adjust to the surrounding light. When his eyesight returned back to normal, he could finally read what was scribbled on the card.

“To The Best Big Brother Ever, Red Ranger Louis William Payne-Malik,” Louis read out the messy scribble. He opened up the card, and a big Red Ranger but with Louis head popped-out. Louis chuckled at the picture and read what was written all over the card in markers and crayons. There were a lot of “I'm sorry”s, and “I love you”s written, but one sentence really caught Louis by the throat

“I'm sorry I'm a bad Little Brother -Nialler”

Louis wasted no time jumping off the bed and run towards Niall's bedroom like his life depended on it. He burst through the door like a canon ball and saw that Niall was sleepily stripping off his clothes to bath and get ready for a new day of school. He noticed that there were many crayons and marker stains. He rushed towards his little brother and engulfed him in a bear hug. Louis didn't realize that he was crying until tears poured down his face and hits Niall's pale cheeks.

“L-Lou?” Niall asked worriedly, hugging Louis back just as tight “Ar-Are you okay?”

“You're not a bad little brother Niall,” Louis sobbed “I'm a bad big brother,”

“You're silly Lou!” Niall chuckled “You're the best brother ever! No matter what you do,...you will always be the coolest, and the best brother in the whole wide world!”

And there is nothing that could change Niall's mind about that statement.

Louis managed to confess everything, to Niall, Liam and Zayn. Liam felt extremely guilty that he forgot about their tradition, and he didn't know it was such a big deal to Louis. He did that because he wanted to remind Louis that even though he's the eldest, he could still act like he was the youngest. He didn't want Louis to carry such a big burden at a young age; he should have a wonderful childhood experience. Zayn was yet again impressed by his youngest son, and ashamed at himself for being bias. He should treat his sons equally, because he really do love them all with his heart, even though he won't admit that Niall had reserve a special place in his heart, but without Louis and Harry, he will feel incomplete.

It was truly a beautiful mistake that they made.
