Harry looks at Niall, the boy not moving and seemingly asleep. So Harry waves his hand in front of Niall's face and Niall lets out a soft giggle.
"I'm awake, Harold," Harry chuckles softly as Niall sounds so sleepy.
"You sound tired, why not go to sleep? Put your pjs on boy and come get in bed?" Niall nods against Harry's shoulder where he has laid his head. He doesn't want to move.
But he does.
He goes and gets his pjs and takes them to the bathroom to get changed.
"Do you have anything I can sleep in? My mum didn't bring anything for me, and I doubt she'll be fit enough to drive- actually also walk," Niall laughs at the statement cutely and points to the draw with all his pjs in. Harry thanks him and looks for something of Niall's to fit him.
Whilst Niall goes to get changed, Harry decides on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt he has worn no end of times, he pulls the sweats on and places his jeans on Niall's desk.
Niall dresses into his pjs faster than Harry and when he gets back Harry is stood shirtless, and Niall doesn't know what to do with himself as he watches Harry back muscles move as he pulls the shirt over he head. Niall gulps and Harry turns round.
"You still feeling shitty or are you okay now?"
Okay now I saw that, Niall thinks to himself. Niall has never been one to be jealous of girls but damn if that's what Selena's getting then Niall is officially jealous.
"I'm okay, sort of, no not really," Niall doesn't exactly feel the greatest anyway. But the envy he feels for Selena is adding to it.
The blonde boy enters his way fully into the room and he climbs onto his bed, Harry finishes folding his clothes and soon joins his best friend on the bed.
Niall cuddles into be blanket and sighs, Harry can see that something is bothering the lad, but he lets it slide.
Niall looks up to Harry for a second before burying his face in the blankets and pillows next to him, he can still see Harry looking down at him and he watches as his best friend shuffles down in the bed too, he pats his chest as an indication for Niall to lie there. The blonde boy takes the offer instantly and lays down on Harry's warm chest, loving the feeling of his friends arms wrapping around his body.
Harry watches as his best friend falls asleep sad, he doesn't like when Niall has to fall asleep sad and alone when he can't be there for him, and since he's here, with Niall, he wants him to fall asleep happy.
So Harry gently trails his hands and fingertips down Niall's very much so ticklish sides and feels his friend squirm under the touch.
"Harry, no," Niall tries but Harry keeps going until he hears a giggle. But he wants a laugh.
Harry pins Niall down and starts to rapidly tickle him, Niall can't stop himself from laughing loudly, trying to push the bigger boy off him, but he struggles, as Harry's height also means he's heavier than Niall.
"Be happy!!" Harry commands in a teasing way and Niall nods.
"I am! I am! St-stop!" he laughs and Harry stops finally. He rolls off of Niall who is still laughing to himself quietly.
"Are you happy now?" Niall nods and has to appreciate what Harry does for him. Making him laugh when he just wants to cry has to be the best thing Harry does.
"Good, I didn't want you falling asleep sad," Harry says and Niall's heart races.
"I'm good now, thanks, but please don't tickle me again," Niall begs and the brunette laughs.
"No promises, come here, warmth," Harry says and opens his arms in his sleepy state. Niall can't believe Harry wants to cuddle him but he goes into his best friends arms and Harry rolls over on to his back, taking Niall with him, onto his chest. Niall looks up at Harry subtly and smiles to himself before shutting his eyes and drifting to sleep, happily.
On the other hand, Maura and Anne are tipsy, they aren't drunk, but it's way past midnight by the time they stop talking, Anne doesn't realise the time and she's shocked when she knows what time it is. Maura knows already the boys have most likely gone to sleep, as it's quiet upstairs.
"I think they've gone to sleep, shall we go and have a nosey," Anne nods in agreement to Niall's mothers prediction.
They both silently, as silently as they can anyways, go up the stairs, and Niall's door is shut, Maura gently opens the door, only slightly so she can see in a little and the light is still on, on her sons bedside table, and the TV is still playing the menu from a film.
"They're asleep and the light and TV is still on," Maura tuts to Anne who repeats her action.
They both go in quietly and Niall's mother turns the TV off whilst Anne goes to turn the light off but stops when she sees the way they're laid together.
"Maura, come here and look," she whispers and looks at the two boys all cuddled up.
"Aren't they precious," Maura coos and smiles at her son.
Anne turns the light off after they've both seen how Niall's face was pressed into Harry's neck and Harry was holding his arms around Niall as if someone's going to take the boy away from him.
The two woman exit the room and shut the door gently behind them.
"They'd make the cutest couple," Anne states and Maura nods, "Isn't Niall that way inclined?"
"Yes he is, I told you he was, but he won't tell Harry, and I don't know why he won't tell Harry," Maura explains and Anne shrugs.
"Let's get you sorted out in the guest room," they both laugh and head off to sort out somewhere to stay for Anne.
