Ceilings- AJxNiko

Part 4

It was 7am and all the boys were awake, well except Aj. Aj hated waking up in the mornings, he never could get up even as a kid, his mum would send his siblings to wake him up in the mornings and i guess it was the same into adulthood. His friends ALWAYS needed to wake him up or he would sleep until 4 p.m. 

Niko knocks on the door before he walks into Ajs room, still dark. He was the "unlucky" victem chosen to wake up Aj. He was also a bit of a menace when he first woke up, hating speaking to anyone for at least 15 minutes. 

"Aje," he whispers, "You need to get up." 

"Mmmm im awake," Aj rasps back, turning away from the door. Fuck, Aj's morning voice is something else, Niko thought. No. No its not, its normal. Although he'd like to hear it more often-

Niko leaves and returns 5 minutes later to see Aj had fallen back asleep. Of course. 

"Aj if you don't get up right now, you'll regret it," Niko threatens.

"You're not gonna do shit," Aj murmmers. 

Niko raises his eyebrows, before tiptoeing to Aj. He jumps ontop of him, attacking him by tickling him. Aj jumps at the sudden attack and bursts out laughing trying to stop Niko. 

"IM UP IM UP!" 

Niko stops his attack and pulls away, now straddling Aj, his face inches away from Ajs. Ajs breath hitches slightly, his heart racing. Fuck they were close. They'd been in this position before, Aj  remembers, remembers it very well.

Niko suddenly jumps away, woah, that was weird he thought, its fine though, they'd done that before, Niko always tickled Aj. So why was this time different?

"Ima go get changed, be downstairs in 15. Amins heating up pancakes," Niko says as he walks out of Ajs room.

Aj gets up and gets ready. He puts product in his hair, thankful his bonnet hadn't fallen during the night. Hes wearing black cargos, a white t-shirt that's poking out underneath  a black hoodie, before he heads downstairs. He sits beside Sharky who gives him a quick side hug. The boys are talking before Sharky starts laughing. The boys look up to see Niko walk into the room, wearing the exact same outfit Aj was. 

"Nope. You're changing." Aj states.

"Uh no. How about you change. I like this outfit so yeah." niko argues back.

"Nah no way. How do you guys do that," Kenny attempts to say, but was laughing too much. 

Niko just sits down at the island and takes a bite of his pancake. Both boys were too stubborn to change to the point where neither would change. 

"well now neither of you can change cause we need to leave." Chunkz says.

Aj was secretly happy at this matching moment with Niko as annoying as it was. He knew the fans would have something to say about this, and he secretly loved watching the tiktok ship edits of them but he'd never admit that. He began to blush as he recalled a specific tiktok that was saved to his favourites on his fake account. He may or may not watch it every night before he goes to  bed...

"Last one outside drives!" Aj yells as he runs to the door. He wanted to get out the awkward spotlight, not wanting to be questionned on his blush.

They all run outside, Aj of course being the first one Chunkz right behind him. Then followed Niko and Kenny with Sharky over his shoulder. He saw Sharky in front of him and didn't want to be last.

"Put me down!" Sharky laughs kicking.

"Ok" kenny smiles, fully dropping Sharky on the floor.

The boys pile into the car, as Kenny and Sharky had walked out at the same time Kenny was driving there, Sharky on the way back. Sharky called shotgun, which left Niko, Aj and Chunkz in the back. Halfway through the drive to the studio, Aj had fallen asleep, as usual, onto Nikos shoulder. Niko looked down and silently cooed at the sleeping boy. He looked so cu- no, no Niko he doesn't. Niko was so lost in Aj, he too had fallen asleep, resting his head ontop of Ajs sleeping one. Chunkz had noticed the interaction and whipped out his phone to take a picture of the boys. He posted it onto his snap story and captioned it, 'These two will actually fall asleep anywhere together.'

By the time they'd arrived to the studio, Niko had woken up to the sound of Sharky, Kenny and Chunkz singing along to the radio. He looks down to see Aj still asleep. This boy could sleep through a storm. That is if he could fall asleep during a storm; Niko knew Aj was afraid of storms due to the loud noises. He also knew it was something from his childhood, but Aj hadn't revealed that story to Niko yet.

"Niko, wake up Aje whilst we go set up inside," 

Niko begins to lightly shake Aj awake. Aj just curls up closer into Niko, "mm 5 more minutes,"

As much as Niko loved the position him and Aj were in right now, he knew they needed to get up.

"You know what," Niko begins, he gets out the car, and turns to get Aj onto his back. He carrys Aj into the studio, struggling to open doors whilst having a man on his back (WOAH PAUSE) Aj begins to wake up fully and starts giggling at Nikos struggle. He points to the sofa where Sharky and Chunkz are seated.

"Over there please," He smiles.

"Look who decided to wake up. And is now giving orders huh" Niko drops Aj, ok more like carefully drops him, allowing him to place his feet onto the ground.

--------------------------- Little Time skip-----------------------------

The boys wrapped up shooting and were sat on the sofa in the studio, they had decided to go get some food but needed to decide where they wanted to go. Aj slightly looks over Nikos shoulder to his phone, where he sees a Notification from.. 

Oh.

He'd forgotten about that.

'Aly <3' - Ok see you tomorrow<3

He didn't bother to see Nikos reply. He just got up and went to sit with Kenny. Well, on Kenny. Kenny grabs him and pulls him into his lap, wrapping his arms around Aj's waist. What Aj didn't notice was the death stare Niko gave Kenny. 

Niko was feeling jealous? No jealous isn't the word, he just- he doesn't know a better word for it. Yes, Aj always sat on the other boys laps, usually Kennys, but Niko was just feeling different about it this time. 

The boys had decided to go Nandos, of course. It was their go to- as in, you know when you go to a corner shop and you spend ages deciding on a drink and you end up getting the same as usual. They finally decide to leave, Sharky driving and Kenny in the front seat. Niko looks over to see Aj and Chunkz having some sort of secret conversation. And he really wanted to know what about. Even in the car, Aj was sat between Chunkz and Niko but was whispering away with Chunkz. 

Niko chose to keep quiet, trying to listen but it was hard with Sharky and Kenny loudly discussing stupid things they'd done in the video they'd just filmed. 

They arrived back to the house, with the food on the way. Sharky had ordered it in the car, so it would get there sooner. Niko ran up to his room, kind of hurt that Aj wasn't really speaking to him. Obviously he doesn't expect himself to be the only one Aj confides in but he thought they were closer than that. He decides to call Alyah as some sort of distraction

25 minutes later, Aj goes up to knock on Nikos door. He had spoken to Chunkz with what he'd seen on Nikos phone, and Chunkz was trying to distract him. 

"Nik, the foods here," he says as he opens the door. Aj looks up to see Niko smiling holding the phone up to his face. Niko nods, "Alright love, I'll see you tomorrow"

Aj was not expecting that. He felt his heart in his throat and tears prickle his eyes as he turns and walks away. 

He'd have to get used to this. But he really didn't want to. 

Was it getting serious? Aj didn't know if he could live like that.
