Trust, Love, and Lost Relations

Opposite Directions or Side-by-Side?

Niall's P.O.V.

When I woke up the next day, Felicity was laying fast asleep on my chest. I smiled at her sleeping form. She looked so peaceful, something she didn't seem very often. She always seemed stressed out. I felt like there was more to her than she let on...

Just then, I felt her stir a little bit and looked down at her. She seemed to still be half asleep, so I kissed her forehead, and she made a groaning noise. I smiled to myself, before moving to kiss her nose. She smiled a little, trying to go back to sleep. Nope, sorry, love. I moved to kiss both of her cheeks, and then pecked her lips.

That was when her eyes finally fluttered open. "Morning, Princess," I said to her, my voice hoarse after just waking up. She smiled at me groggily.

"Morning," she said, her voice raspy. I smiled at her, pecking her lips again. She sighed, rubbing her eyes, and curling further into my chest. I wrapped my arm tighter around her waist, kissing the top of her head.

Just then, I heard the sound of something hitting Felicity's head, and then felt an impact on my own. Felicity sat up quickly, rubbing her head, and turning around to figure out what had happened. I slowly looked around her, seeing Chris standing there. "Ow, what the hell was that for?!" Felicity yelled at him. I looked down to see a Kleenex box sitting on my lap. He threw a Kleenex box at us?

"You guys are being cute," he said simply. "It makes me sick." He made a disgusted face, before turning around and walking out of the room as if nothing had happened. What the hell?

Felicity sighed in annoyance, before laying back down, and rolling onto my chest. I chuckled at her a little. "I can feel you laughing at me," she said, turning her head to look up at me.

"We should probably get up now..." I mumbled to her, really not wanting to get up. She groaned again.

"Yeah, I know," she grumbled. I pecked her on top of her head, and she reluctantly rolled over, literally rolling out of bed. "Ow." She muttered. I laughed at her loudly. She sat up and stuck her tongue out at me. I stuck mine out back, and then crawled out of bed, helping her up.

She took my hand, and we walked downstairs. I immediately walked her over to the stove, knowing she'd want a cup of tea to wake up. She grabbed the kettle, filling it with water, and turned the stove on. I left her to it, and sat down at the table.

That's when I noticed that everyone in the kitchen was looking at us. Apparently, everyone else was already awake. "What?" I asked them, not knowing what the stares were for.

"It's sort of creepy," Lexi pointed out. Wait, when did she get here?

"What is?" I asked her, totally confused.

"You two, like, have this weird connection. You can, like, read her mind or something..." She explained.

"What? No I can't..." What the hell?
"It sure seems like it."
"How?"
"You seem to know exactly what she wants."
"She drinks tea every morning..."
"Yeah, but you, like, move as one being."
"O...k?"

Just then, the kettle started squealing. Felicity yelled a 'finally!' And then went over to make her tea. I smiled fondly. She was adorable. She threw out her teabag, and came and sat beside me at the table.

We sat there chatting for a while, and then moved to the living room where it was more comfortable. Felicity curled into my side, resting her head on my chest, apparently still tired. Apparently today was a group hangout day, as everyone was here. Us five boys, plus Felicity, Clarissa, and Chris, Lexi, and Katrish.

"We should play 'Sing It!' guys!" Katrish suggested. We all agreed, and she got the game out, putting it into the playstation, and plugging in the microphones.
