Chapter Twelve

~Marcel wakes up to Niall with his hand in a bag of crisps,Liam and Zayn playing video games and Louis typing something on his phone with his left hand, his right arm laying protectivly cross Marcel's stomach.

Marcel stretches,Louis notices he's awake and smiles at him "have a good nap?" He asks, his voice soft "yep," he yawns "that's good" Louis says, trying to hide the pins and needles running up his leg.

"Erm..you were a bit cold, so I had Liam get you a blanket" Louis says just as softly as before, Marcel can't supress his smile, Louis had been worried about him and that made his heart flutter a bit.

He says a quiet "Thanks, Lou" but that doesn't feel like enough, but then again words can't describe how thankful he really is to Louis, not for the blanket or for the use of him as his human pillow-and a damn good one at that-but for everything, for stopping Jake from beating the piss out of him, for making an effort to talk to him,for wanting to get to know him, for being his friend.-

"Aye, he's alive!" Niall shouts suddenly,making Marcel jump, and Louis laugh at the way he moves closer to him for safety.

"Sorry I slept through the movie.." Marcel says quietly "no worries mate,you didn't miss much" Niall replies honestly.

"Yeah, it was kinda dumb" Louis tells him "why?" He asks "It had so many damn flashbacks it was confusing, and the ending was one of the worst endings in history," Louis explains.

"You guys hungry?" Liam asks "duh," Niall says, laughing as he gets up and nearly bounces to the kitchen.

~They decide to make breakfast for dinner -a really fucking late dinner, being that it's half past 11- mostly because Niall starts saying something about pancakes and they all agree that they do sound good.

Liam mixes the batter as the other four of them search Liam's fridge for toppings,with no luck.

"I could run to the store and pick up some fruit and stuff" Louis offers and Niall's eyes light up "could you get whipped cream?" Louis laughs "yeah sure" he shrugs and looks at Marcel "you wanna come with me?" He asks and Marcel nods quickly, smiling happily.

~Shopping had takes longer than it should because the entire time the two were laughing until they couldn't breathe, Louis almost rolling on the floor when Marcel held up a small box of tampons and asked as serious as he could if "Niall would still eat the pancakes if Liam cooked these into them", it earned them an odd look from an older woman stocking the shelves further down but Louis didn't care, he couldn't be happier that Marcel was finally coming out of his shell.

~"we're back" Marcel sing-songs, holding open the door for Louis,he follows him to the kitchen and sets the bag on the counter,taking out the strawberries, blueberries, banana's, chocolate chips, whipped cream and syrup and placing them in a neat row.

~"food's done, lads" Liam calls, flipping the last pancake onto the plate, Niall is the first to the kitchen, unsurprisingly, followed by Zayn then Louis and Marcel, walking in side by side talking among themselves, almost getting stuck in the doorway.
