Dying Without You

You and your boyfriend, Niall, are lazily laying on your couch, watching random shows.  

You lay your head on Niall's chest as you scroll through Tumblr. One quote catches your eye. 

"I don't get this," you say aloud. 

"What is it?" Niall asks, leaning his head in to touch yours, trying to see the screen of your phone.  

You giggle, as his facial hair tickles your skin. You give him a kiss on the cheek.  

"This," you say. It reads: 

'I CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU. I NEED YOU, TO BREATHE. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME, OR I'LL DIE.' 

Niall scrunches his eyebrows together as he reads it. "What don't you get?" he asks, confused.  

"I don't get it! You CAN live without someone, you know?" 

"(Y/n), you're not supposed to think of it that way." 

"What do you mean?" You set your phone on the coffee table, and flip over to face your boyfriend.  

"I mean.. it's like a figure of speech. It's just saying that a person would feel so heartbroken if someone left them, that they'd feel like they're dying." 

"Oh." 

He laughs. "Don't take those things so seriously." 

You feel yourself tense a little at his words.  

"I-I think I'm gonna get something to drink," you whisper, climbing off of him and walking to the kitchen.  

Instead of heading for the fridge, you take a seat at the island on a bar stool.  

"(Y/n)?" You turn your head to see Niall in the doorway. He looks worried, and his face looks adorable all scrunched up. "You've been in here for 10 minutes. Is everything okay?"  

He takes your hand and pushes you into the living room again, pulling you towards his body on the couch.  

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" 

"It's just.. how do you know about those quotes and stuff? I mean-" 

"(Y/n), you're still hung up on that? You-" 

"Yes I am! I mean, how would you know-" 

"I know how to analyze that quote, (y/n)," Niall says simply. 

"I saw that. But how?" 

"Because I know exactly how that person would feel. Because I know if I ever lost you, I would feel like I'd be dying. And I know I would, because I can't imagine my world without you." 

Your lips curve up into a cheeky smile. "Niall, you're cheesy," you poke his nose, "but so sweet. I love you." 

He smiles back at you. "I love you too, (y/n)."
