"Alright, come sit with me," Niall smiled, patting the empty spot next to him on the couch. You grinned and skipped over to him, earning a chuckle from Niall. Upon sinking into the spot next to him, Niall wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his side. You snuggled up to him and he tilted his head, resting it against yours as the opening scene of the movie appeared on the TV screen in front of you.


"You're really snuggly," You observed aloud, before burying your face in Niall's neck. He nibbled on his lip, fighting back a cocky grin as you added, "You're kinda like a life-size teddy bear, you know? All cute and warm and soft and cuddly."


You pulled yourself up and crawled on top of him so that you were straddling his lap. You wrapped your arms around his neck and brushed your nose against his. He giggled, blushing only slightly. "I love you," You whispered, pecking his lips.


His lips curled into a little smile, and with a reddened face, he whispered back, "I love you."


"Well, I love you more than the biggest bowl of ice cream in the world," You told him, raising your eyebrows as if challenging him.


"Yeah? I love you more than three rounds of free Guinness and a football match to go with it," Niall said back, wiggling his eyebrows in success.


You laughed and lifted your eyes to the ceiling, thinking of something to say next. The movie was playing behind you, but neither of you were paying much attention to it anymore. "Hmm... well I love you more than a billion Beagle puppies with bows in their fur," You told him, smirking in pride.


He chuckled and dropped his eyes, gently massaging your thigh with his hand. "I love you..." He started, before letting a sigh out of his mouth, "...more than I've ever loved anything in the world. I love you more than Ireland, more than my guitar, more than any of the boys, more than golf... more than everything."


You pressed your lips together and tried to hold yourself together as best as you could, because you really wanted to cry in that moment. Tears sprung to your eyes but you wiped them away before they could even fall. He softly smiled and stroked the side of your face, staring at you with loving eyes. "Since we love each other so much," He said, "I think we should live together, don't you? How about you move in with me next weekend?"


"Wait, what?!" You gasped, your eyes widening with excitement. "Are you serious?!" You squealed, and he nodded with a huge grin.


" 'Course I'm serious. There's no one I'd rather share my house with, seven days a week, than you. What do you think? It's about time I get to fall asleep next to you every night, anyway," He said, with a wink at the end. You leaned forward and hugged Niall as tightly as you could while still sitting on his lap. He pecked the side of your face while you squeezed him.


"I definitely think I should move in with you," You whispered against his skin.


The movie ended up being kind of pointless because neither you nor Niall watched much of it. Instead, however, you spent the night cuddled up in each other's arms and chatting about your life together now that you had plans to move in with him the following weekend.
