Liam wakes up in Niall's arms.
They've been together for what feels like forever now, but it still feels brand new to be with Niall, to kiss him awake in the mornings. It's amazing to Liam that he knows everything there is to know about Niall. Niall has been a part of his life quite literally for as long as he can remember, but having him like this is entirely better than Liam could have ever imagined.
He feels Niall's lips against the back of his neck, and he can hear his mumbling something—poetry, probably, words he doesn't want to forget later.
Words inspired by Liam.
Yawning, he rolls over to face Niall and is immediately bowled over by the sight that greets him. Even before they'd gotten together, he'd slept beside Niall plenty of times, but there's nothing quite like waking up next to him and realizing that Niall loves him just as much as he loves Niall.
"You snore," Niall says, wrinkling his nose and making Liam laugh.
"You know," he teases, "I think you've told me that at least ten times since we first met, but I've never actually heard myself snoring."
Niall reaches out and flicks him gently on the forehead, laughing himself. "You can't hear your own self snoring if you're asleep, babe."
"Really?" Liam feigns confusion. "That explains so much."
"I love you, you know," Niall says in response.
He doesn't hesitate, doesn't need time to think about it. He's known this for a while.
"I love you too." Niall smiles and leans down to give him a kiss. The kiss doesn't last long because soon enough Niall is pulling away from Liam, making him whine.
"You're a sook" Niall says chuckling.
"I'm your sook"Liam says with a big grin.
"Mine" Niall growls possessively.
"Yours" Liam says and Niall kisses him one more time before getting up from the bed.
"Stay" Liam says going to grab Niall's hand to make him come back to bed but Niall moves further away making Liam pout.
"I gotta go pack for our road trip" Niall says with a small smile. As much as he would love to stay in bed with Liam he knew he wouldn't end up packing his things for their trip to London.
Liam pouts sadly but doesn't stop Niall from getting dressed knowing that he is right. He turns back into his pillow shutting his eyes.
"I love you" Liam says when he feels Niall kiss his forehead.
"I love you too" Niall says before shutting the door behind him, leaving the room.
Liam doesn't wake up until late afternoon and by then he is feeling less tired than he felt this morning. He takes a shower, changes clothes before coming downstairs, heading straight to the kitchen. He is met by the sight of his parents, which surprises him because he didn't think they would be back home so soon.
"Hi love" His mother Karen says, Liam smiles at her before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey mum" he says "hi dad"
"Hi son" His father says
"How was you're visit" Liam asks as he looks through the cupboard for a bowel for his cereal.
"Not bad, grandma and Grandad say hi and they miss you very much" Karen says and Liam smiles at the thought of his grandparents. He loves them dearly and he does miss them since his been too taught up in things to go visit them.
