                                                     Witness Protection

Niall:*Looks up as Liam enters* W--Who are you....

Liam: *walks over to him; kneels down to him & puts his hand on his
knee* My name is Detective Liam Payne. I've been assigned to keep you
safe in the witness protection program. You'll be safe in my care.

Niall:M--Move your hand...

Liam: *removes his hand* Sorry...

Niall:It's okay...We can stay here right?...

Liam; *sighs* No. It's too dangerous. The house will be the first
place he'd look.

Niall:But...It's my m--moms house...

Liam: I'm sorry, Niall. But it's too dangerous.

Niall:Where are we going then....

Liam: We're going to my hometown in the UK. *smiles* Wolverhampton.

Niall:Why yours...

Liam: *shrugs* There's not many people there. Plus it's not safe
in Ireland.

Niall:Do i have a choice?....

Liam: *shakes his head*

Niall:*Sighs and Stands up*

Liam: I can take you back there and you can grab everything you
need. We leave on the flight the first thing at midnight though...

Niall:Can i stay there tonight?..

Liam: *shakes his head* No. You can't even be near it...

Niall:*Looks down*

Liam: I'm sorry Niall.. for everything.

Niall:My mom used to hold me when i was sad...Who's gonna do that
now....

Liam: I could if you want... I know i'm not her and it's going to be
hard to trust anybody now but... I'm here if you need somebody..

Niall:Why would you wanna hold me...Im just another client to you...

Liam: I don't do my job for the money. I actually care for other's
and I wanna do much as I can. I don't consider you as a client. I
consider you as a friend.

Niall:How long am i in this program?...

Liam: Until they catch the killer. Which can usually take days,
weeks, months, and maybe even years..

Niall:So...What if im with you forever?...

Liam: *shrugs* I don't know.

Niall:Does that mean ill be your last client then...I don't think
you want that....

Liam: I don't care if you're my last client. But you're certainly
not my last friend.

Niall:*Nods* I just wanna leave Ireland...

Liam:Alright.

Niall:When do we leave...

Liam: Out of Ireland? At midnight.

Niall:How long is that...

Liam: We have 4 hours.

Niall:*Sits down;Plays with hands*

Liam: Do you wanna get something to eat? I know a near by diner.

Niall:No that's okay...But if you wanna go...

Liam: Well I kinda want to.. and I can't exactly leave you here...

Niall:We can go...I just won't eat.

Liam: Alright. *slips his coat on*

*At the resturant*

Niall:*Sits down awkwardly*

Liam: *sits down across from him* You sure you don't want anything?

Niall:C--Cheesesteak?...

Liam: *smiles & nods; smiles seeing the waitress come up* Hey Tammie.

Tammie:LIAM! *Smiles;Hugs him* What brings you back here?

Niall:*Looks down*

Liam: *chuckles hugging her back* Just got hungry for some food. By
the way, this is Niall.

Tammie:*Smiles at the scared boy* Hi sweetie, don't worry. Your in
great hands

Niall:*Looks up*

Liam: *smiles softly* Niall, this is Tammie. She's a really good
friend of mine. Well, everyone who works here is pretty much a good
friend of mine.

Niall:H--How...

Liam: I've just known them since I was 10.

Tammie:Liams a sweetheart. *Laughs* Trust me he couldn't hurt a fly.

Liam: Anyway, you know my usual

Tammie:Sure sweetie, And you? *Turns to Niall*

Niall:C--Cheesesteak...Im gonna pay....

Liam: You don't have to pay, Niall.

Niall:*Nods* Okay...

Liam:*Smiles softly*

Niall:L--Liam?..I haven't had anything to drink today....Can i have
a sprite?...

Liam: Of course, you don't have to ask. Add in a sprite please, Tammie.

Tammie:Sure sweetie. *Walks off*

Liam: *slips off his coat* If you don't mind me asking, do you have
any siblings?

Niall:My brother died long before my mom...*Looks down*

Liam: I-I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have asked.

Niall:It's okay...So Tammie..She seems into you..

Liam: *shrugs* We dated when we were about 16. We dated for about
4 years. The feelings just vanished and we both decided to see other
people. We remain close friends though.

Niall:You sure she has no feelings?

Liam: She's engaged to this guy named Rob. So i'm positive she doesn't.

Niall:*Shrugs* if you say so. Any feelings for her?

Liam: *shakes his head* Nah. Plus if I did it would be too late. I
think of her as a sister now.

Niall:Wait...What does your girlfriend think of you having to
watch over me?

Liam: I don't have a girlfriend.

Niall:Why not?

Liam: *shrugs* Just never really found the right girl.

Niall:Yeah im with you. Never found the right guy.

Liam: *nods* Yeah.

Niall:You'll think im nuts but...I've never been in a relationship

Liam: I don't think you're nuts but why?

Niall:*Shrugs* No cute guys in Ireland i guess.

Liam: I think you'll like it in the UK. I know a couple guys who can
pass for "cute". *laughs*

Niall:Yeah but i love sweet guys...That pay attention and i know it
sounds stupid.

Liam: It's not stupid. I want someone who will just be there for me
and love me for me. Not for how much money I make or for a rumor.

Niall:I like to be cuddled *Smiles* so far i haven't met the right
person to do that.

Liam: *nods* Yeah...

Niall:*Clears throat*

Liam: *lifts his head up when Tammie came back with their food;
smiles* Thanks Tam.

Tammie:Eat up babe *winks and walks away*

Niall:*Rolls eyes*

Liam: *shakes his head at her but starts eating*

Niall:She obviously likes you.

Liam: No she doesn't. We just got use to calling eachother
babe so we still do. That's all.

Niall:And the wink?

Liam: *shrugs*

Niall:Exactly. *Eats food*

Liam: Okay, maybe she could still like me. But like I said it's
too late for that.

Niall:So no feelings?

Liam: I don't have feelings for her. Atleast, I don't think I do.

Niall:You might wanna think about that.

Liam: -takes a sip of his drink- Maybe...

Tammie:*Walks over* Anything else i can help you with? *Smiles*

Liam: *shakes his head* Nah, i think we're good.

Tammie:You sure cutie?

Liam:Positive.

Tammie:*Walks away*

Niall:*Eats the rest of his food*

Liam: *finishes his food up*

Niall:Time to go?

Liam: *nods while the check came* If you need to use the
restroom you can.

Niall:No i'm okay.

Liam: Alright. *pulls out his wallet taking out the accurate
amount of money; places it on the table & puts his wallet back in his
pocket*

Niall:You should let me pay for mine...

Liam: No, it's fine. *smiles* I like paying.

Niall:Why?...

Liam: *shrugs* I just do. *stands up slipping his coat back on* Ready?

Niall:Where we going now...

Liam: Well. *looks at his watch* We have three hours til we gotta
board the plane. Um, I guess we could go get your stuff now.

Niall:From my moms?...

Liam:*Nods*

Niall:*Nods*

*When they arrive*

Niall:*Lays on bed;Burries face in pillows*

Liam: *smiles weakly* I know it's hard to let go...

Niall:I--I miss her...*Tears fall*

Liam: *rubs his back gently* I know, Niall... everything
will get better though, I promise you that.

Niall:How?...

Liam: It just will... I don't know how to explain it but it will.

Niall:How much can i take?....

Liam: You can take all your clothes, anything in your room. And
maybe something of your mom's. But that's only if we have time for
you to pick something.

Niall:*Grabs clothes* i don't want anything else from my room..
I want something of my moms...

Liam: Alright. *leads him to his mom's bedroom; opens the door
and everything is still and steady*

Niall:*Tears fall; Runs over and picks up a picture of him and her*

Liam: *bites his lip* Niall... whatever happened to your dad...? I
was never told about him... and i'm just really curious...

Niall:He fought in the army....He was killed in battle when i
was one...

Liam: I'm sorry.... and you're probably tired of being told
sorry to.. so.. sorry.. ugh.. just.. nevermind.. *runs a hand through
his hair in frustration*

Niall:*Giggles*

Liam: *smiles awkwardly; looks at his watch* Shit, our flight
leaves in an hour... we gotta get going.

Niall:*Grabs the picture* Ill take this...

Liam: *nods* Alright. Let's go then.

Niall:*Grabs coat*

Liam: *leads him out of the house & back into his car; opens
the passenger door for him*

Niall:*Gets in*

Liam: *shuts the door when he's in then goes to the driver's side &
gets in putting on his seat belt; turns the car on & starts driving to
the airport*

Niall:How long is the flight?

Liam: Uh... we'll probably take maybe a day or two

Niall:*Sighs* Fine.

Liam: *smiles weakly & they arrive at the airport then board the plane*

Niall:*Snuggles into seat*

Liam: *looks out the window*

Niall:*Falls asleep slowly*

Liam: *looks at him with a small smile; kisses his forehead gently
so he doesn't wake up; chuckles softly when he makes a face in his
sleep; shakes his head & leans back on his chair; falls asleep*

*Later in the flight*

Niall:*Sleeping on Liams shoulder*

Liam: *still asleep; his head ends up rolling ontop of Niall's
softly; wakes up a bit jumpy but realizes Niall's laying his
shoulder; smiles softly; gets comfortable again; falls back to sleep
with his head gently laying on Niall's*

Waitress:*Walks by* Sir?

Liam: *wakes up* Huh..?

Waitress:Do you want pillows?

Liam: Um, sure.

Waitress:*Hands him the pillows*

Niall:*Squirms*

Liam: *takes them with his other hand & doesn't move the
shoulder Niall is laying on until Niall stops squirming*

Waitress:He's adorable.

Liam: *nods* Yeah.. he is.. Thank you for the pillows.

Waitress:Your welcome! *Walks off*

Niall:*Cuddles into his side*

Liam: *cant help but let the smile creep onto his face*

*Hours later*

Niall:*Wakes up slowly;Yawns*

Liam: *has his head leaned against the window; eyes shut*

Niall:Liam?....

Liam: *opens an eye* Hm?

Niall:I had a weird dream....

Liam: What about?

Niall:My mom...

Liam:Oh...

Niall:Im so...I could've protected her.

Liam: You couldn't always protect her...

Niall:Why not?...

Liam: It's just kind of impossible..

Niall:Im good at protection!

Liam: I never said you weren't.

Niall:Just not good enough...

Liam: That's not wh-

Niall:I get it.

Liam: *sighs* Niall, you can't always protect the ones you love.
I learned that truth the hard way.

Niall:How?...

Liam: When I was 10, I saw my whole family be murdered...
I did everything I could do at the time.

Niall:I--Im sorry.

Liam: The people at the diner... they were my foster parents

Niall:Tammie was? *Scrunches nose in confusion*

Liam: *laughs shaking his head* No. I knew her from school. Plus
she went to the diner alot with her family.

Niall:Oh...

Liam: *nods* Yep

Niall:Im sorry i assume...

Liam: It's fine. Alot of people assume the same..

Niall:I didn't mean too....

Liam: I know.

Niall:*Leans back against seat*

Liam: I'll be right back... *gets up then goes to the restroom*

Niall:*Hugs knee's*

Liam: *sighs when he's in the bathroom; rinses his face lightly with
water then drys it off & goes back to their seat*

Niall:*In a ball*

Liam: *sighs sitting back down in his seat* Niall...?

Niall:*Looks up*

Liam: I-I'm sorry...

Niall:For?...

Liam: E-everything... I don't want you mad at me or anything..

Niall:Im not...

Liam: *looks at him*

Niall:Im not mad at you...

Liam: Really?

Niall:I have no reason to be....

Liam: O-oh... *looks down a bit not meeting his eyes*

Niall:What's wrong...

Liam: It's just... you're the first person i've talked to about my
family in years...

Niall:D--Do you want a hug?...

Liam: I could really use one right now...

Niall:*Opens arms*

Liam: *hugs him*

Niall:*Burries face in his neck*

Liam: *lets out a small sigh & rests his chin on his shoulder*

Niall:Let me know when your ready to let go...

Liam: Thing is I don't want to... but I know I have to eventually...

Niall:What if i lay on you and you can hold me alittle?...

Liam: Only if you want to... you don't have to..

Niall:I trust you...

Liam: *bites his lip* Okay..

Niall:*Lays head on his shoulder;Cuddles close*

Liam: *wraps his arms around him gently cuddling him back*

Niall:Liam?...

Liam: Yeah?

Niall:Nevermind...

Liam: You know you can tell me anything, right? I won't judge you or
anything.

Nialll:I know...I will...When im ready...

Liam: *nods then kisses his forehead; realizes what he did* Sorry...
*blushes*

Niall:*Blushes;burries face in his shoulder*

Liam: *smiles a bit; lays his chin on Niall's head*

*When they arrive in Uk*

Niall:*Looking around*

Liam: Come on, the car is this way. *leads him over to the parking lot
to a different car*

Niall:Who's car are we taking?...

Liam: Mines. *smiles* I was suppose to use a different car because
he can easily track the car we used.

Niall:So the other one wasn't yours?...

Liam: *shakes his head* Agencie's.

Niall:And this one?...

Liam: Bought it when I was 16.

Niall:*Opens the door and gets in*

Liam: *puts everything in the trunk of the car then gets in the
driver's seat & starts the car then drives off*

Niall:*Looks out the window*

Liam: *stops at a red light then notices him looking at a candy shop that's on the
corner* We can go in if you want.

Niall:My mom said it's not good for me to have sweets...

Liam: How come? Are you allergic or something?

Niall:I get crazy...

Liam: *chuckles* How?

Niall:Sweets make me bounce....

Liam: When I was little, I always ate sweets and I was hyper than a jitter bug.

Niall:Mama used to hate when i got like that.

Liam: I always disobeyed my parents, plus, it's not gonna hurt to have a little candy.

Niall:But--

Liam: But?

Niall:I can't disobey her...

Liam: Alright then. *starts driving again when it turns green*

Niall:I'm sorry...

Liam: It's fine, Niall. *smiles*

Niall:*Looks out the window again*

Liam: *arrives up at a house* We're here

Niall:It's huge...

Liam: Not really inside.

Niall:I don't wanna go inside...

Liam: How come?

Niall:It's not home...

Liam: I know... but it's just for a while.

Niall:You said i can never go home though....

Liam: Not until we catch the guy, remember?

N|all:*Nods*

Liam: It's safe here, I promise you. *gets out of the car then goes to the trunk*

Niall:*Opens door slowly*

Liam: *starts taking stuff out*

Niall:*Gets out of the car*

?: WATCHOUT!

Niall:*Looks around*

Zayn: *stops the bike so they don't hit him*

Louis: *falls off from the handle bars* Ow!

Zayn: *shakes his head* And that is why we do not ride on handle bars.

Louis: Fuck you, Zayn.

Niall:Uh...Hi?

Liam: *shuts the trunk after he got everything out; walks over* You guys still being
idiots?

Louis: *smiles upside down* Hi Lili!

Zayn: Why are we friends with him, Liam?

Liam: Because he's an idiot. That's why we love him.

Louis: Yeah! Wait... hey!

Liam: *laughs* Niall, these are my bestfriends from high school, Zayn & Louis.

Niall:Oh hi...

Louis: *gets up* Hello! *smiles*

Zayn: *smiles softly* Hi.

Niall:Liam...Can we go inside?...

Liam: Yeah, come on. *leads him up the stairs to the house*

Louis: We'll call ya later Liam!! *hops back onto the handle bars*

Zayn: If you fall off again i'm not paying for any hospital bills. *rides off*

Liam: *unlocks the door & opens it*

Harry:*Jumps up* Lili?

Liam: Holy-.. *realizes it's Harry* God damn it Harry. You scared me.

Harry:*Tear stained* L-lili....

Liam: What's wrong?

Harry:My B--Boo bear hasn't called me back...And....

Liam: *shakes his head* He just rode by with Zayn. He either dropped his phone in the river again or he
left it at home this time.

Harry:*Tears falling* Y--You know how i get ever since you rescued me from when my whole family was killed....

Liam: Hey it's okay. *rubs his back hugging him*

Niall:H--His family was killed too?...

Harry:*Nods;Burries face in Liams chest* I want my boo bear...

Liam: *nods* Lemme call Zayn. I'm sure he's smart enough to keep his phone on him WITHOUT dropping it.
*gets his phone out & dialls Zayn's number; puts it up to his ear* Hey Zayn, it's Liam.... Yeah do you
think you can bring Louis back around? Harry wants him.... alright, yeah, kay. See ya soon. *hangs up*

Harry:W--Well...

Liam: They're on their way.

Harry:Will you sit with me?..*hugs knees*

Liam: Of course. But I need to help Niall get settled in, alright?

Niall:No it's okay..We can sit here for a little.

Liam: You sure?

Niall:He needs you..

Liam: Alright.. *sits down next to Harry wrapping a protective arm around him*

Harry:*Burries face in his chest* L--Louis...

Zayn: *riding back on the sidewalk; stops abrutly infront of the house*

Louis: *holding onto the handle bars tightly* Jesus, Zayn! Stop going so fast.

Zayn: It's bloody bike, not a car.

Louis: *rolls his eyes jumping off it then goes up to the steps; kneels down to Harry* Haz, what's wrong?

Harry:I--I've been looking for you...

Louis: I was out with Zayn and.. well...

Zayn: He dropped his phone in the river again.

Louis: *glares at him* Zayn!

Zayn: What? You did!

Louis: Not helping!

Harry:I--I was worried....

Louis: I'm sorryyy. *kisses his forehead*

Harry:*Whimpers*

Louis: *pulls him into a small hug* I'm sorry, Harry... I didn't mean to worry you.'

Harry:I---I love you...

Louis: I love you too. *nuzzles his cheek*

Niall:Are you two together?....

Louis: No...?

Niall:*Looks at liam confused*

Harry:*Snuggles into Louis*

Liam: They're just really close mates.

Zayn: Though they act more like an old married couple.

Harry:Zayn your the same way with Liam!

Zayn: So? I have an excuse to.

Harry:Excuse being?

Zayn: He's my ex.

Niall:*Looks at Liam*

Liam: *bites his lip* We dated for a year.

Niall:*Looks down*

Zayn: *can tell something's wrong* It wasn't anything serious. We didn't take it serious enough
so people told us to just break it off and we did.

Liam: And then that's when I went into the witness protection agency.

Niall:Why?....

Liam: To keep people safe. I had to go through it for a couple months and I knew that's what I wanted
to be when I was older.

Niall:How come Harry became so close to Louis and not you?

Liam: Because when I was first taking care of Harry, here, Louis and Zayn always came over and he and Louis
just started a bond the minute they met. And nothing can really break it.

Harry:*Hugs Louis closer* Mine...

Louis: *laughs hugging him tight*

Liam:See?

Niall:I still think they like each other *Smiles*

Liam: Who knows, they can and just don't know it.

Harry:Do not!

Louis: Pffft, so you don't love me?

Harry:Not like...But....And...

Louis: *laughs* I'm just kidding, Haz.

Harry:I love you like a brother....

Louis: I know. *smiles* I love you like a brother as well

Harry:Lili?...Can i borrow you for a second?

Liam: Sure.

Harry:*Drags him into the other room* I love him Lili....

Liam: I know?

Harry:More then a brother...

Liam: Oh... OH... then why don't you tell him?

Harry:I can't...

Liam:Why?

Harry:He doesn't feel the same....

Liam: Are you kidding me? Whenever we're alone you're all he talks about!

Harry:I still don't think he does...

Liam: He does, okay? I wouldn't be telling you this if he didn't.

Harry:Niall likes you.

Liam:He what?

Harry:Likes you.

Liam: But-

Harry:But?

Liam: How can he like? I'm.. me..

Harry:Liam your a beautiful person...Just not for me.

Liam: *sighs* I may or may not like him... I'm confused.

Harry:How?

Liam: I just... *sighs* I don't know..

Harry:Liam he's adorable

Liam: Exactly... he's adorable, soft, and beautiful.. *runs a hand through his hair* But i'm only suppose to
look after him until they find his mother's killer...

Harry:And what better way then to be with him and kiss him?

Liam: I've only know him for about a day, Harry. That's what confuses and scares me...

Harry:How do you feel about him?

Liam: I... whenever I'm near him I just get butterflies in my stomach... especially when he smiles...

Harry:He's cute...Like Louis.

Liam: *shrugs*

Harry:You wanna kiss him and you know it

Liam: Okay, I do. But it's just... too soon. Plus I wanna get to know him better. As much as he'll tell me..

Harry:Fine but while you hold off on your man im getting mine.

Liam: *laughs* Alright.

Harry:*Runs out jumps in Louis lap*

Louis: *smiles hugging him* Hey there curly.

Harry:I gotta tell you something

Louis: Oh really?

Harry:*Nods* It's serious.

Louis: Oh, then wanna talk alone..?

Harry:Please?....

Liam: *leaning against the door frame* Well I gotta help Niall unpack so we'll leave you two to whatever.
Zayn, you can come in if you want.

Zayn: Kay. *gets off his bike and chains it to the bike chain outside the flat & then goes inside with Liam &
Niall*

Harry:I like you...

Louis: I like you too. *smiles*

Harry:Not like a brother....

Louis: *looks at him confused*

Harry:I wanna kiss your lips...Hold you...Tell everyone your mine...

Louis: *cups his face then crashes their lips together*

Harry:*Wraps arms around his waist*

Louis: *pulls away so they can breathe; leans his forehead on his* You have no idea how long i've been waiting
for you to say that...

Harry:Niall likes Liam you know....

Louis: It's quite obvious. When Zayn mentioned he and Liam dated he looked like a sad puppy.

Harry:They would be cute! *Smiles*

Louis: Duh! We need to get them together... somehow..

Harry:Help me?...

Harry:*Burries face in his chest* I've loved you forever...

Louis: Me too. *nuzzles his hair*

Harry:Why didn't you tell me...

Louis: Because I was scared that you'd not feel the same way... *looks down*

Harry:Boo of course...I love you....

Louis: I love you too... so much. *kisses him softly*

Harry:*Deepens*

*With Niam* :D

Liam: *opens the door to a room* This will be your room, Niall.

Niall:You mean...Were not sharing?

Liam: Well, I want you to have your privacy. It'd be kind of rude to not to.

Niall:But---

Liam: You don't have to stay in it if you don't want to. But my room doesn't exactly have an extra bed...

Niall:So?

Liam: Um... *cant help but let the blush creep onto his face*

Niall:*Smiles;Runs into Liams room*

Liam: *follows shortly behind him* And it's just loaded with crap from since I was
a kid... this use to actually be the foster care facility I was in until I was adopted... but
then the owner died and in their will they said I could have it...

Niall:Come lay with me

Liam: *smiles softly & blushes realizing he was blabbering; lays down next to him*

Niall:*Snuggles into him*

Liam: *gently wraps his arms around him*

Niall:I feel so comfortable with you...

Liam: Is that a good thing...?

Niall:Yes.

Liam: *brightens up a bit when he hears him giggle* Why are you laughing?

Niall:It ticklesss.

Liam: *kisses his temple silently breathing in his scent; feels himself relax a bit more;
yawns* Bloody jet lag is getting to me..

Niall:Sleep then..*Smiles*

Liam: Mmm, but if you're not tired I don't want you to not have anything to do.

Niall:I can watch you sleep *Smiles*

Liam: You sure? There's nothing interesting about me sleeping.

Niall:I bet you look cute...

Liam: *blushes* Okay then?..

Niall:Sleep...

Liam: *mumbles something nuzzling his nose deeper into his hair & falls asleep*

Niall:*Smiles softly watching him*

Zayn: *walks in* Hey Liam, do you know whe- whoa.. uh.. sorry...

Niall:It's okay..Sorry he fell asleep he was tired...

Zayn: It's fine... i'll just go ask Harry. By the way, it's pretty obvious you both like
each other. Just.. don't go getting his hopes up too high, alright..? *walks out*

Niall:*Hugs Liam* What does he mean?...

Liam: *makes a face in his sleep & burries his face in Niall's hair*

Niall:*Falls asleep snuggled into Liam*

*With Larry and Zayn*

Harry:*See's Zayn walk in* Why do you look guilty Zayn?

Zayn: What are you talking about..?

Harry:You look like you did something wrong.

Zayn: I may or may not have told Niall that it's kind of obvious he and Liam like
eachother and I just told him not to get Liam's hopes up too high... you know how he gets..

Harry:*Groans* ZAYN! That poor boy couldn't hurt anyone!

Zayn: I know! But you know how protective I am of Liam!

Harry:Zayn..You gotta...let him go...

Zayn: *sighs* I-I know..

Harry:Come here...*Opens arms*

Zayn: *hugs him tightly; shuts his eyes*

Harry:Zaynee...You'll find someone...

Zayn: I know.

Harry:Let him go...Let him learn to love again,....

Zayn: *sighs*

Harry:Please Zayn?...

Zayn: I will.

Harry:Go talk to Niall....

Zayn: I think he's asleep by now.

Harry:Tommorow?

Zayn: *nods*

*Next morning*

*With Niam*

Niall:*Snuggled into Liam*

Liam: *feels something move into him; wakes up then looks down and smiles*

Niall:*Squirms*

Liam: *snuggles back into him*

Niall:*Smiles in sleep*

Liam: *can't help the bright smile coming onto his face; kisses his cheek*

Niall:*Blushes*

Liam: *whispers* You're so beautiful...

Niall:*Smiling in sleep*

Liam: *just watches him sleep*

Niall:*Opens eyes slowly;Yawns*

Liam: Morning. *smiles softly*

Niall:Morning...*Smiles softly*

Liam: *gets lost in his eyes for a moment before looking down a bit*

Niall:You don't have to look away...

Liam: *looks back up at him; bites his lip a bit*

Niall:Your so cute...

Liam: *blushes; leans close to him; whispers in his ear* You're gorgeous.

Niall:*Blushes*

Liam: Do you wanna go to the fair today? There's one in town today.

Niall:Can i ask you something first?...

Liam: Sure.

Niall:Last night...Zayn said not to get your hopes up...

Liam: Huh?

Niall:I don't know...I was gonna ask you what he meant..

Liam: *shrugs* He's just over protective, that's all.

Niall:I would never hurt you....

Liam: I know that.

Niall:Can't we stay in bed today?...I don't feel that well...

Liam: Okay. *cuddles into him*

Nisll:Tummy hurt....

Liam: Why? Do you want something to eat or anything..?

Niall:I ate early...Then my tummy hurt...

Liam: *rubs his tummy a bit* What did you eat?

Niall:Pasta...
