Niall woke up the next morning still tightly wrapped in Liam's arms. He sighed happily and moved back in Liam's arms. Niall couldn't quite remember how they ended up in Liam's bed. He could only assume that he had fallen asleep and Liam had carried him back to his bedroom.

Niall rolled over in Liam's arms so he could face his boyfriend. Liam was still sound asleep, his lips stuck in a pout and his face relaxed. Niall reached up and placed his hand on Liam's cheek. A soft smile spread across Liam's face.

He grinned and watched Liam sleep a bit longer. He was beautiful. No one could deny how beautiful Liam looked while he was sleeping. He just looked so at ease.

Liam's eyelids fluttered and Niall removed his hand from his cheek. "Good morning, baby," Liam murmured. His voice was raspy and sleepy and it had Niall feeling some other things besides happiness.

"Morning, LiLi," Niall smiled back. "Did you sleep well?"

"I think I could sleep like this for the rest of my life." Liam grinned. "You're so warm, and you make a very good pillow."

"I'd like to sleep like this for the rest of my life," Niall whispered back. "I hope that someday we can."

"We will," Liam promised. "Someday."

Niall and Liam went out for breakfast. Niall was dressed in warm clothes of Liam's, and Liam was wearing a hood and sunglasses so he could hold Niall's hand. Niall was able to walk the streets of London holding Liam's hand, and he was happy.

"What do you want for breakfast, love?" Liam asked softly. Niall looked up at him and shrugged.

"I have no idea. What's good around here?" Niall asked just as softly.

"There's a Waffle House around the corner," Liam suggested.

Niall giggled. "Waffle House it is!"

Liam smiled and gripped Niall's hand tighter so they would be able to stay together as they walked through the incoming crowd. Niall tried to tuck himself into Liam's side to hide from the people.

"Just a little farther," Liam promised as they walked through the crowd. Niall nodded and breathed shallowly. They passed through the crowd and into the door of the Waffle House. Niall exhaled softly. "That wasn't that bad, was it?" He murmured in Niall's ear. "Where do you want to sit?"

Niall pointed toward a booth in the back and led Liam to it. They sat down across from each other, and Liam hesitately put down his hood and took off his sunglasses. He looked around, paranoid. Niall put his hand over Liam's.

"We'll be fine," Niall promised. "If anyone sees anything, we're just two friends having lunch." With that, Niall removed his hand and picked up the menu. His eyes scanned over it, even though he already knew what he wanted.

A waitress came by and took their orders, and the two boys were left to sit in silence. Niall had no idea what to say. He just picked at his thumb nail and stared at his lap. Finally, he heard Liam sigh.

"Okay, this is awkward," Liam said softly. Niall wasn't even sure if he was supposed to hear it. "So what do you want to do today, baby? We could go shopping, hang around the house, do whatever you want."

"I just want to spend time with you," Niall murmured. "So no matter what we do, I'll be fine."

"I think I'll take you shopping," Liam grinned. "I like treating you."

Niall blushed and looked down at his lap. He heard Liam chuckle a bit. "Love you," Niall whispered.

"I love you two, babe," Liam whispered back.

Once Niall and Liam had finished their quiet lunch, Liam put his hood back on and his sunglasses on his face, and then he and Niall began heading down to the nearest mall. They held hands as they walked down the street, much to Niall's happiness.

Niall was also happy because Liam was holding him close as they walked down the street. As the day progressed, the streets had gotten progressively busier, and it was worrying Niall. He hated crowds, and London was full of them.

"It's okay," Liam promised him as he heard Niall's breathing catch. "We're only about a street away, and the mall won't be all that crowded."

Niall hoped he was right. He pushed himself further into Liam's side and whimpered at the crowd. "I hope you're right," he whispered to Liam. "And I also hope that no one sees you while we're at the mall."

Liam chuckled a bit. "I'll wear my sunglasses inside and no one will notice. And if they do, I'll take a few pictures and make them promise not to give away our location. It always works. Fans tend to like to keep the pictures to themselves, anyway."

Niall smiled and once again hoped that his boyfriend was right. He hoped that at least Liam would be able to keep him away from the fans. Niall looked up from his feet and saw that they were nearing the mall. He wondered idly what exactly Liam was planning on buying him.

They walked another few hundred feet, and before Niall had properly realized, Liam was holding the door open for him at the mall. Niall giggled slightly and walked through the opened door. He was greeted by the most wonderful mall he had ever seen.

It was at least three floors, and it had some of the nicest shops Niall had ever seen. Gucci, Prada, and other big named stores covered the top two floors. The bottom was mianly a food court, which made Niall's stomach rumble.

"You think this is a nice place?" Liam asked with a sly smirk. Niall looked at him.

"I think you took me to a five star mall to do a bit more than 'spoil me,' Liam Payne," Niall said disapprovingly. "What are you trying to do here?"

Liam chuckled a little bit and looked down at Niall. "Just trying to spoil you, like I said. Maybe I'll even manage to get you in my bed." He winked at Niall and then pulled him over toward the escaltor.
