loving you feels so right

15.

Niall's really glad to be back home. The past week has been a rollercoaster of a whole lot of different emotions, and it's taking it's toll on Niall; Harry too in some cases. But there's been a whole weight lifted off of Niall's chest, he feels more at ease with himself and he's also starting to let Harry in more.

And that's a great feeling to experience, to finally be able to trust someone.

To finally be able to feel loved by someone, or to be in love with someone again.

He's finally allowing himself to be happy, and with such a great person too. A person who he can trust and who isn't a one for secrecy.

Niall is pretty sure that Harry is the one.

As he's pulling up to his apartment, he starts thinking about what Harry has said to him in the airport as they were waiting for their luggage

'Quit your job, if you don't want to work there anymore'

'I can't just quit my job Harry, I need money to pay for my rent, clothes, food. I need my job to live on.'

'What if- what if you moved in with me?'

Niall chokes on a breath, his eyes go wide at Harry's proposition. He doesn't seem fazed at all and he looks serious.

'What?'

'Yeah, move in with me. Look, I know we've only been together a short time. But I know this would be the right thing to do, I'm serious about this- us; and I know you are too."

Niall stands there dumbfounded, would it be the right thing for them to do?

'Okay, you don't need to decide right now. But, just think about it yeah? Take as long as you want.'

This is a big decision that has to be made, and he knows he's going to need his friends help.

There's excitement bubbling inside him as he unlocks the door to the apartment. It feels like it's been ages since he's seen Grace, but in reality it's only been a week.

It could turn into longer than a week if he chooses to move in with Harry.

He smiles as he enters the apartment, but it's quickly replaced with a frown when he can't see or hear Grace, or even Charlie for that matter.

Shutting the door behind him, he wanders through the apartment; the living room, dining room/ kitchen, bathroom, even her own bedroom, but she's no where.

Sighing he goes back to the front door, where all of his luggage is and collects it before walking back over to his room. He'll unpack everything later but he wouldn't want Grace tripping over his suitcase when she returns.

The jet lag is settling in to his body, and he couldn't feel more lethargic.

So he sleeps.

He's awoken again by distinctive giggles and muffled talking from a man. And he may have just woke up, but he's confused as to who could be here.

Stretching out the however many hours of sleep he's managed to catch up on- he hasn't been bothered to check the time.

He throws on some jogging bottoms and makes his way to the source of the noise.

And when he gets there, he does not expect to see who he does.

"Zayn?"

He's got his back to Niall but he freezes in the living room, Charlie settled comfortably on his hip. She starts smiling when she notices Niall's walked in the room.

Zayn slowly turns around to face Niall, a guilty look on his face.

"Alright Ni?" Niall crosses his arms, eyebrows raised at him. He nods his head in reply, what the hell is going on?

"Yeah, just- what are you doing here?" Zayn's mouth pops open in shock over Niall's bluntness.

"He's here to spend time with his daughter Niall, don't be rude." Grace interrupts, sauntering in with two cups of tea.

"Oh, so you finally decided to tell him?" Niall bites back, he can feel the tension rising in the room.

"Not now, Ni, please?" She pleads.

"Fine, whatever. This tea for me?" He smiles, she let's out a sigh of relief and nods eagerly, passing a cup over to him.

"So, how was LA?"

you don't even want to know.

"Possibly one of the best weeks ever, honestly Grace we had so much fun."

"I can tell- what is it that Rizzo says? I've got so many hickeys people will think I'm a leper." She giggles and Niall can feel himself pale, he didn't think that Harry had marked him that much.

He's never shot up from his seat quicker than what he has now. Grace and Zayn are chuckling as he disappears into his room to find a top.

"You good?" Grace asks as Niall quickly walks back into the living room. There's a smirk forming on her face and Niall can't help the blush spreading across his cheeks.

"Care to talk more about your lovers retreat?" Niall can't help but laugh now, it's a mixture of embarrassment and humour.

"Nothing more left to say really, you would've seen it on MTV or summat."

"Fair point"

Silence overcomes the three of them once their conversation finishes. Charlie's enjoying herself on the floor, surrounded by all of her toys.

he'll miss things like this if he goes.

He'll discuss it with Grace later, because the have a lot to talk about.

But that time will come.
