Then Came a Lucky Leprechaun (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Let's Bake a Cake!

"Hey Niall, lets bake a cake!" his face lit up like a kid in a candy store.

"YAY!!!!!!" he hurried over to the kitchen and started to help me pour all the ingredients into a bowl. 

"What kind of cake are we making?" Niall asked as he was stiring the dry ingredients.

"Do you want to add chocolate chips?" 

"Yessss!" he was really excited to eat cake :) I went to the cupboard and pulled out my chocolate chips. Then I threw in some eggs into Nialls dry ingredient bowl and he stirred them into the batter. He took some chocolates from the bag and I threw them into the bowl along with the water and oil. He watched closely with excitement and he remembered to preheat the oven.

"Do you know this recipe by heart or something?" he asked.

"Yes, we had to make it in college like once a week and do something different to the recipie everytime."

"Cool! We should do this every week" 

"Yeah sure, if you can afford it. Nandos doesn’t pay for everything I need and I have to spare money so I can complete my Culinary Arts course. I want to go back so badly!"

"I can help pay for it and we can make something new every week. It can be our own little thing" he smiled at me and I couldnt help but smile back. 

"Ok that sounds great! I love baking!" he helped me pour the batter into the baking pan and he put it in the oven. I took a seat at the island in my kitchen and Niall inspected the fridge for something to drink.

"Do you want anything?" he asked kindly.

"I'll have something with alcohol"

"Ok, could I have some too?"

"Yeah sure! Also can you set the timer for 20 minutes?"

"Yup" he turned to the oven and set 20 minutes on the timer and sat next to me at the island and handed me a cup and poured some liquor into it. We sipped happily for a few minutes in silence.

"So Niall, where is your flat located?"

"It's actually right across the street!"

"Nice!" he emptied his glass and jumped off his seat and put it in my dishwasher. Then he took his seat next to me on the island and startled to hum a song that I couldn’t quite make out. I sighed and he looked at me, I guess I was staring with the look that he gave me.

“You ok? Your eyes are a little glazed.” He asked.

“Yeah, I guess I am a little tired” I yawned and the timer rang, startling me and made me jump. Niall ran over and opened the oven and pulled it out with mitts on his hands. He set it on the cooling rack that I previously set out on the oven. He sat down again and allowed me to place my head on his shoulder for a while to let the cake cool before I took it out.

“We should take the cake out and ice it really quick.” He said and I nodded and stood up, making my way to the oven.

“This smells freaking good!!!” I exclaimed as I took the cake out and placed it on a tray. Niall was already pouring the icing into a bowl. He put some on his finger and put it on my nose, making me giggle.

“Niall! Why?” then he gave me a kiss taking the icing off my nose, making me giggle even more, and I took some icing and put it on his forehead, both cheeks and nose.

“You want to play like that, eh?”

“No, no, no!” he chased me around the island with a spoon of icing in his hand. He was bursting with laughter when he caught me and took icing and spread it all over my face and wrists.

“Niall! You are such a child!” we both were sitting on the floor covered in icing, laughing. Then he did something that I would never forget, he leaned in and kissed my lips. I kissed him back, enjoying the kiss, and icing was starting to creep in my mouth and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“What?” he asked, smiling like a freak.

“Icing got in my mouth!” he started cracking up and took some icing from my face with his finger and ate it. God, he was cute!

“C’mon, lets ice the cake then watch a movie!” I stood up and put out my hand out for Niall, he grabbed my hand and stood up and winced.

“Are you ok?” I asked with a worried face.

“Yeah, I have a bad knee and I need a surgery for it but I can’t for a few weeks so I can afford it.” He still had a hurt expression on his face. I took his arm and put it on my shoulder and managed to get him to my couch. It took a bit since I wasn’t very strong, but I got him there before his knee gave out. I sat him down and covered him with a blanket and put a pillow under his hurting knee.

“Thanks, love!” he gave me a gracious look and held his arms out for me to hug him. I did so and held onto him, breathing in his scent. Then I got up and went to the kitchen. I returned with a bottle of Pepsi and some medication for Niall to take for his knee.

“Are you aloud to ice your knee and take pain killers?”

“I can’t take pain killers; I take some in the morning. Ice would be nice though!” he smiled at me.

“How about this heating/cooling cream?”

“Yeah, I do that twice a day also.” He responded.

“Ok, do you want me to do it? I don’t want you to hurt anything when you reach down!”

“:That would be awesome! Thank you so much!” I smiled at him and started rubbing the hot/cooling cream on his knee and placed the ice on top after.

“What movie do you want to watch?” I was flipping through the paper bill tv, looking for a good movie to watch.

“Ohh, how about The Godfather!” his face lit up.

“Yeah! I love that movie!” I searched it and found it. I hit play and picked up the blanket that was layed across the opposite side of the couch and snuggled close to Niall.

Awww!!!!! Isnt that sweet!? Niall’s hurt knee ;( I know that’s kinda old news but remember, this isn’t when he was in the band. See you guys soon!
