One where they are in the bus and Louis wants to cuddle with Niall because he feels sick. He agrees. Niall wakes up sometime later and finds he is in the inside, causing him to get claustrophobic. After about ten minutes, Louis is woken up by his shaking and crying. He is too tired to notice what is going on, so he goes back to sleep, unconsciously leaving Niall to suffer.

NIALL POV:
I'm scrolling through my Instagram feed when Louis comes up to me.

"Babe?"

"Yea? Is something wrong?"

"I-I don't know, I feel a little sick, can you cuddle with me please?"

"Of course, baby. Come 'ere and lay down."

"Are you sure you won't be too crammed?"

"How could I be thinking of that when I'm cuddling with YOU?"

Louis chuckles.

He makes sure to get on the inside, since he knows about Niall's claustrophobia and they're squished into the bus bunks.

One Hour Later
NIALL POV:
I wake up facing a wall.

Where am I?

I turn over and see Louis.

Oh right, we were cuddling.

Then I turn back around.

Wait... wasn't I...

I turn again.

No, no, no, no, nononono...

I can't wake up Louis! He says he feels sick so I have to let him rest, even if he wasn't under the weather, still!

But, but I have to get out! I need to. I-

My body starts trembling and shaking. Then I start crying.

Today's just a bad day for me I guess.

After what feels like an hour, but was probably less than fifteen minutes, of my panic-attack-like situation, Louis wakes up.

"Honey? Are you ok? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, go back to sleep," I say, not wanting him to have to get out of bed, waking him up, knowing he might have trouble getting back to sleep after (I don't know, ok?).

"You sure? You don't look that okay to me."

"I-I'm fine."

"Ok," he says, and his quiet snores quickly start up again.

I get more worried.

Oh, for god's sake, he really wouldn't've minded me asking him to scoot out of the way, why did I do that?

After another half hour, or possibly five minutes, I decide I need to wake him up.

I start by just calling out his name.

"L-Lou? Babe?"

He stirs a bit, but doesn't seem like he's going to really wake up.

I tap him on the shoulder a few times.

"Huh?" he says.

"Lou I- I'm sorry I- can you move please?"

He immediately gets up and I jump out.

"I-I'm sorry for waking you! I-I just-"

"Did you get a bit squished..?"

I nod slightly.

"It's alright, babe, but, uh, can I go back to sleep now?"

I laugh.

"Yea, sure, thanks."

I give him a hug before he goes back to sleep, in my bed I must add, and I walk off to the main room where the other two are playing some video games.

That was so bad, I don't even know what I wanted it to be in the first place.
