"Did your boyfriend answer?" Louis asks as he comes out of the bathroom... now only wearing the shorts and boxers. The hem of the boxers shows above the shorts. And his shirt is gone. Where? No idea. He must've taken it off in the bathroom. Why?
"Why i-is your.. sh-shirt, uhm, off?" Niall asks, unable to control his stuttering
Louis smirks and shrugs.
"I'm uncomfortable in clothes. Bothering you?" He asks cooly
"N-no.. no, not at all." Niall takes his eyes off the tattoos stretching from his collar bones and looks at the floor
'IT IS WHAT IT IS' is still printed in his mind though
"I'm gonna run off all the people in the house. They're probably all naked. So.. if you wanna just wait here, maybe try making another call, then I'll be right back, okay?" His calming voice asks
"Y-yeah, uh-huh, sure" Niall responds, still totally flustered and ashamed of himself for looking at another guy that way and certainly worried about Harry's whereabouts
Louis returned and said "Can't believe every bedroom was empty. Oly had to run out a girl in the hall and a few people downstairs."
"Wait, the bedrooms were empty?" Niall repeated
"Yeah, all of them.. but one had certainly been used." Louis says
That means Gemma left.
"Wanna get breakfast?" Louis asks as he sifts through his dresser
"Uhm.. I-I shouldn't." Niall answers
"Wanna ride, then?" Louis asks
"What?!" Niall quickly looks at the boy
and Louis holds in a laugh and says "not.. not like that, Niall. I mean, do you want a ride home? Though.. You riding me sounds better than me just taking you home."
"Boyfriend. Remember." Niall says, more to himself than to Louis, but he'd never admit that either
"Yes, Yes.. Boyfriend. You telling me or you telling yourself, lad? cause the way you're stuttering and avoiding looking at me, kinda makes it seem like-" Louis gets cut off by Niall's glare that he finally realizes and he just grins and goes back to finding something to wear..
"So, breakfast or a ride? Or we can do it all?" Louis asks as he grabs his keys from the nightstand
"Told you, Louis, Boyfriend." Niall says again
"And I told you, Niall, that's not what I mean. You've just got that on your mind." Louis says right back
"Ride home, please."
"Yes, sir" Louis responds and Niall almost chokes on air
"God damn, is everything I say and do a turn on to you, Leprechaun?"
"Leprechaun?" Niall repeats
"Yeah, you are Irish... aren't you?" Louis says
"Yes.. just.. didn't.. You can tell?" Niall asks
"Yeah.. it's obvious"
"Most call me, fucking, British-mix or some shit. No one around here recognizes it!" Niall says, now a little happy because someone recognized him for being Irish.. and he's really proud of being Irish. He loves him home and family and culture!!
"Well, hop in, Leprechaun." Louis says as he motions to the car when they step outside
Liam and Harry go out and look around the bar, Their apartment, Liam's house, Zayn's house, hotels around the bar, alleys, parks, they talk to as many cab drivers that they can find, and still.. they do not find Niall.
And Niall ends up seeing a breakfast shop. Being able to smell the food as they were at the stop light right outside of it made him give in and tell Louis to go there. Niall loves food. Anyone who has ever known him knows that about him. He. Loves. Food. He just does.
And Zayn pressed the nurse button and Angel came back in, wondering what he needed, and he just asked her to sign his cast.
And she did.
