Niall had a fairly painless trip back to paris. Sure, his ribs ached and his head hurt, but Liam was holding his hand tight through the entire flight and kept giving him award-winning smiles. Niall would have killed to live in that moment forever.

"I'm in trouble," Liam whispered as soon as they stepped off the plane. They began walking toward a man whom Niall had never seen before. "Paddy," Liam greeted.

"Hey, Payne," the man, who Niall assumed was Paddy, said back. "Who's the little blond?"

"Niall."

"Is he the one you left out of the blue for?" Paddy asked. He began guiding them through the crowded airport. "I have to say, Payne, I'm kind of upset that you went to Paul instead of me. I would have come with you."

"Sorry, Paddy," Liam gave a little laugh. "I didn't really want anyone to come with me, and I knew Paul wouldn't push it." Niall just blushed and buried himself further into Liam's side. "You okay, baby?" Liam whispered to Niall.

"Louis was livid when you left." Paddy gave a full hearted chuckle. "His little boyfriend was trying to calm him down, though. I was laughing my ass off. They're pretty cheeky, those two."

"I saw them," Liam said as he looked down at Niall. "I bet we're cuter, though. Aren't we, baby?"

"You're dating?" Paddy asked in surprise. He turned around and looked at Liam.

"Yep." Liam nodded in confirmation. "Problem?"

Paddy shook his head. "I don't have one, but management might. You probably need to talk to them before you do anything to brash, Payne."

"I know." Niall watched as Liam rolled his eyes. "But it's my life. If they have a problem with it, they can just drop the biggest boyband in the world. Watch how many other management companies want us for who we are."

"I know you're right, but it sounds like your head has gotten too big." Paddy laughed again. Niall was really beginning to like him. "Get in the car, you two, and try not to have sex in the backseat, yeah?"

Liam laughed as he opened the door for Niall to get in. "We won't, Paddy. Don't worry. Just get us there quickly, yeah?"

Paddy laughed again and climbed into the driver's seat. Liam shut the door behind him as he sat down after Niall. "Have I already told you that you look positively adorable today?" Liam asked with a small smile.

"No," Niall blushed, "but thanks." He snuggled down into Liam's side and nearly fell asleep on the small drive from the airport back to the hotel the boys were staying at.

"We're here, love," Liam whispered in Niall's ear. "You need to get up."

"Don't wanna," Niall murmured into his side. "Carry me, Lima Bean."

Liam gave him an odd look. "Did you just call me Lima Bean?" he asked, startled.

Niall nodded. "Carry me, Lima Bean. I'm tired." Liam still gave him that odd look and picked up him.

"Can you open the door, Paddy? I've got Niall," Niall heard Liam say softly. He heard the door opened and then there was a rush of cold air, making Niall further bury himself into Liam's chest.

"Why is it so cold?" He whimpered. Liam laughed a bit and held Niall tighter.

"I don't think you can cuddle any closer into me, baby. Don't worry, It's only a few more steps into the hotel." Liam was right. It seemed like there was only a few seconds from when Liam opened his mouth to when a blast of warm air engulfed him.

Niall nearly moaned at the suddenly warmth. "Thanks for carrying me, Lima Bean," Niall said as soon as he moved his face out of Liam's chest. He gave liam a sleepy smile.

"I like carrying you. You're like a little baby." Liam leaned down and gave Niall a small kiss.

"I'm not a baby," Niall murmured. He followed Liam's lips back up as the man pulled away.

"You're my baby," Liam answered back. he laughed as Niall tried to kiss him again. By the time Niall looked again, they were in the elevator. "My little baby."

"You walk fast, Lima Bean," Niall giggled, trying to change the subject. "How long are your legs?"

"Not all that long." Liam laughed again. He stepped out of the elevator and began walking down the hall to their room. "Would you mind sharing a room with me?"

"Of course." Niall nodded. "Are we going to see Louis and Harry first?"

"Yep," Liam nodded, "Louis is probably in there plotting my death. It'd be better if we went to see them before they find out we're back from Paddy or something."

Niall nodded into Liam's chest and watched as he carried them to Lou and Haz's room. Niall himself knocked on the door so Liam wouldn't drop him. "Coming!" Louis's familiar voice yelled from inside the room. There was tons of giggling, and then Louis opened the door with a bright smile on his face.

"Liam!" Louis said. His former happy tone was replaced by an angry one. "You asshole! Where have you been?" He tried to hit Liam, but Niall was in the way. "Oh, I would hit you if Niall wasn't there!"

Liam looked down at Niall. "I'm just going to keep you here, if that's alright." Niall giggled a little bit and snuggled into Liam.

"You're warm," he whispered. Louis's face softened.

"I'm still mad at you, Liam," he warned. "But you two come inside. You're probably tired."

Liam gave Louis a smile and carried Niall in past him. "Why does your room look bigger than mine?" Liam joked.

"Is that Liam?" Harry yelled from the kitchen. "Liam! Niall!"

"Hey, Hazza!" Niall greeted sleepily. "How are you?"

"I'm alright," Harry said, giving him an odd look. "Shouldn't I be asking how you are though?"

Niall looked puzzled. "I'm fine. Why are you asking?"

Harry knew better than to push it. Niall didn't enjoy when people shoved themselves into his problems.

"We'll see you guys tomorrow, yeah? Niall wants sleep," Liam said softly as he began to carry Niall out the door. "Bye!"

All Niall remembered after that was the sound of a door shutting softly.
