Liam's POV:

As I entered the rehearsal studio, I could feel the familiar buzz of energy that always filled the air when we were about to start. Louis was already seated at the piano, tapping away at the keys, while Harry and Zayn were engaged in a heated discussion about the setlist. Niall, however, was nowhere to be seen.

"Morning, Liam," Louis greeted me with a grin, his fingers dancing effortlessly across the ivory keys. "Have you seen Niall?"

I shook my head, scanning the room once more. "Not yet. He's probably running late again."

Just then, the door swung open, and Niall walked in, a bright smile on his face. But what caught my attention wasn't just his smile—it was the hand he was holding. Niall had a new boyfriend, and his name was Josh.

"Hey, guys!" Niall greeted, his cheeks flushed with happiness. "Sorry we're late. Josh wanted to grab a coffee on the way."

Josh, tall and handsome with a warm smile, waved shyly at us. "Morning, everyone. Nice to meet you all."

Louis nudged me with a mischievous grin, and I couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed like Niall was head over heels for this guy, and it was adorable to see.

"Good to meet you, Josh," I said, offering him a friendly smile. "Make yourself at home."

As we began to rehearse, I couldn't help but notice how Niall's eyes sparkled every time he glanced at Josh. They were completely lost in each other, and it was hard not to smile seeing them so happy together.

Throughout the rehearsal, Josh sat on the sidelines, watching us with keen interest. Occasionally, Niall would steal glances at him, a proud grin spreading across his face whenever Josh applauded or cheered us on.

At one point, as we took a short break, Louis sauntered over to me, a playful twinkle in his eye. "Liam, have you seen the way Niall looks at Josh? It's like he's found his missing piece."

I chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, they seem really into each other. It's cute."

Louis nudged me with his elbow, grinning mischievously. "Think we should tease Niall a bit?"

I raised an eyebrow, knowing exactly where Louis was going with this. "What do you have in mind?"

Louis smirked. "Let's give them some privacy, but maybe later, we can drop a few subtle hints about how cute they are together. See how Niall reacts."

I couldn't help but laugh at Louis's plan. "You're terrible, you know that?"

Louis winked. "But you love me for it."

As we resumed rehearsal, I couldn't shake the feeling of warmth that filled the room whenever I glanced at Niall and Josh. They were like two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together, and it was a beautiful sight to behold.

After rehearsal, we all headed out for a quick bite to eat, with Josh joining us at Niall's insistence. As we sat around the table, chatting and laughing, it was impossible not to notice the way Niall and Josh were completely lost in each other's company.

"So, Josh," Louis said casually, a mischievous glint in his eye. "How long have you and Niall been together?"

Josh glanced at Niall, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Just a few months now. But it feels like we've known each other forever."

Niall reached across the table, squeezing Josh's hand affectionately. "Yeah, it's been amazing. Josh's been so supportive of everything, including my music."
