twenty-one

Much to Niall's dismay, Liam left him alone to go get his medicine. He promised that he would only be gone for an hour tops, but Niall still wasn't happy. He was in pain, and he really didn't want to be left alone in his pain.

Liam had left the remote for the telly right next to Niall, so at least he had something to occupy himself with. He could watch old footie games and groan in pain. Liam hadn't left him any food on the bed, though, and Niall was in too much pain to get up and get it himself. He nearly cried joyfully when Liam returned.

"Liam!" He whined as soon as he heard the brunet enter the room. "It hurts, LiLi."

"I know, love." Liam walked over to the bed and placed the pain pills down. He immediately gathered Niall into his arms and began playing with his hair. Niall fumbled to find the pain pills and swallowed one of them dry.

"What time is our flight again?" Niall croaked. He tried to sit up to look at the clock, but Liam gently pushed him back down.

"Around two," Liam hummed absentmindedly. "I think I'm going to go take a shower while your pain pill kicks in. You alright with that?"

"Can you get me some food first?" Niall asked softly. Liam nodded and walked off to search the hotel room for food. He came back abour five minutes later with a chocolate bar and a pack of crackers.

"We can go get lunch before the flight," Liam promised. "Anything else?"

Niall shook his head. "Sorry if I'm being annoying. I'm a bit of a baby when I'm sick." Niall's face fell. He didn't want to look at what Liam's reaction might be.

"Hey," Liam lifted Niall's chin up with his finger, "You aren't being annoying. I don't mind caring for you, especially since you and Harry might have to leave soon."

Niall tried not to whimper, even though he knew it was the truth. "Go take your shower," he told Liam. Liam gave Niall a soft smile and a kiss before walking off to the bathroom.

Niall munched on his candy bar and channel surfed as he listened to Liam sing in the shower. Niall couldn't identify the song he was singing, but he knew that Liam was singing it beautifully, as usual.

Liam came out of the bathroom ten minutes later with wet hair, a small smile, and a towel drapped on his waist. Niall whistled, making Liam blush.

"Can't you just get on the plane like that?" Niall whined. Liam beamed at him and shook his head.

"Sorry, baby. Why don't you go take a shower so I can whistle at you when you walk out?" Liam suggested cheekily. Niall rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom.

Liam laughed and finished putting on his clothes. He then laid down on the bed and waited on Niall to finish showering. for once, Liam was happy with how thin the hotel walls are. He could hear Niall softly singing to himself. Liam wished he could have recorded it so he could listen to it over and over again.

Liam returned the favor when Niall walked out of the bathroom. He whistled loudly at the boy, making Niall giggle and blush. "Stop!" Niall protested. Liam smiled and climbed off the bed.

"I didn't have time to pack a suitcase before I left," Liam admitted sheepishly. "So you're going to have to wear the same clothes from yesterday."

"It's fine," Niall said softly. "Can you turn around so I can get dressed though?" It was then Liam noticed that Niall was standing in front of him in only a towel. He blushed profusely and turned around so Niall could get dressed. "Can we go get breakfast now?" Niall asked once he was done.

Liam turned around to see niall standing in front of him in slightly dirtied clothes. "What do you want?" He asked, wrapping his arms around Niall's waist.

Niall leaned back into him. "Can we just get Maccies or something? I don't want to take too much time."

"If you want," Liam shrugged. He grabbed Niall's hand and began to lead him to the door. "Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Niall sputtered and nearly tripped over his own feet. "B-Boyfriend?" he stuttered out. Liam turned around and looked at him.

"Yeah?" he said softly. "Do you want to be my boyfriend? If you don't and I just made things awkward, that's okay. We can just pretend like I never opened my mouth."

"N-No," Niall shook his head, "I'd like to be your boyfriend."

Liam smiled brightly and gave Niall a long kiss on the lips. Niall let out a little moan in surprise. Neither boy took it any further than just pressing their lips together. Liam just wanted to be close to Niall.

"Maccies?" Liam asked as he pulled away. Niall nodded.

"I could go for some pancakes."

-

The two boys sat giggling in a booth in the back corner of McDonald's. Neither of them was completely sure what they were laughing at, but they continued to giggle. Niall was having a hard time eating his pancakes.

Liam leaned across the table and gave Niall a kiss. "What was that for?" Niall asked with a soft smile on his face. Liam grinned.

"Nothing. You're just cute." Liam shrugged and took another bite of his pancakes.

"You're cute too," Niall told him through a mouthful of pancakes. Liam blushed a bit.

The two finished their breakfast quietly. "It's only like eleven. Do you want to shop around a bit or go straight to the airport?" Liam asked softly once he had thrown their trash away.

"Airport," Niall said grimly. "The sooner we get back the better. I'm sure the boys want to see you."

Liam grimaced. "I'm not sure how much I want to see them. Louis might try to strangle me for leaving without saying anything."

"I'll protect you." Niall grinned up at Liam and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, baby." Liam pecked his forehead.
