a few days pass with the malik family enjoying their vacation. so far everything is going as smooth as it possibly could. the first half of the week they had already gone on a cruise, took a tour through the town on a carriage, and visited the butterfly house, which was so far harry's favorite activity. he was so intrigued with all the different species of butterflies and completely enamored with all the beautiful diverse patterns on their wings. the teen likes pretty things, therefore it was surely something he very much enjoyed.

even though they hadn't really done anything 'exciting' like thrill rides and or water parks and whatnot, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. besides, it's nice to spend some time together after going so long with inconsistencies when it came to family quality time. it's always a good time when they are with one another, and it's important to have that bonding time with the people that meant the most to them.

today the family had visited the military museum and were given a tour. the boys had gotten pretty bored during and had started goofing off not even halfway through the tour. touching things where signs clearly said not to touch, play fighting, and had also come close to breaking things a couple times. zayn had to keep scolding them and give them the look in order to get them back in line. but as soon as the agonizingly long tour was over, they were happy to get out and go eat lunch.

after eating lunch, they headed back to the hotel to freshen up and it wasn't long before they were back out, headed to the beach where they would most likely spend the rest of their day until dinner. of course there were many attractions near the beach they could also do, such as many gift shops, food places, arcades, and other fun activities to choose from. the boys were especially excited for the more fun parts of the vacation.

currently, the two older men were lying down on their towels with a big umbrella shielding them from the blazing sun. they were mainly keeping to themselves, cuddled up together, zayn's hand caressing his husband's exposed thigh gently as they talked amongst themselves, sharing kisses every now and again, occasionally glancing over at the boys. the teens were currently doing the 'trust fall' with one another. and it was now niall's turn to fall and hope that louis would catch him.

he'd already done one with harry, the younger teen had thankfully caught him, although he did almost drop him after struggling to hold him up. louis stands with his arms out beckoning niall to fall already. but the eldest boy gave him a warning look, because knowing louis he wasn't very trustworthy and he had to really think weather or not the boy would actually catch him and let him drop like a hot potato.

"louis if you drop me, i'm kicking your ass." niall says, pointing a finger at him. louis snorts, beckoning him to come on already.

"i'm not gonna drop you, just c'mon already. or are you scared?" he raises an eyebrow with a smirk. niall rolls his eyes at him before turning around, crossing his arms and relaxing his body.

"i'm not the one who needs to be scared." he comments.

"just fall already." louis urges, wiggling his fingers. niall just shrugs and closes his eyes. then he starts to free fall backwards, and at the last second before hitting the ground, louis catches him and helps him stand back up. niall opens his eyes and smirks at louis.

"that's what i thought." niall says. louis flips him off. the oldest brother laughs before turning to harry who's watching them. "it's your turn to fall now, h."

"okay." harry replies, before he turns around, glancing back to make sure niall is holding his arms out. he closes his eyes and just as he's about to start falling, niall moves.
