"Don't be late, Theo is coming to spend the night here tonight." Niall's mother, Maura, said gently as she dried off the last plate with the small orange towel.

"Yeah, I won't." Her son promised and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before rushing outside.

Niall was shaking slightly as he slowly made his way to really no where. He didn't really know where he was going. After reading Zayn's text, asking if he wanted them to talk on the phone Niall couldn't help but be nervous. They had exchanged phone numbers over twitter just the previous night but he didn't think they'd talk this soon. Sure, it wasn't a big deal but to Niall it kind of was. Though, he was thankful that Zayn hadn't mentioned anything else about the embarassing video other than that day in the gym.

The male texted him once he reached the half empty beach. He didn't want to talk to Zayn at home where his parents could also hear him. No, he didn't mind, he just didn't really feel comfortable.

He slowly sat down on the sand, keeping his phone in his hand as he sat crossed legs, looking around and back at his phone when he felt it vibrating. Niall took a deep breath, not even knowing why was he so stressed over a phone call, as he picked it up and placed it on his ear.

"Hi,"

"Hi Niall,"

Niall smiled gently to himself as he slid his other hand in the sand.

"How're you?" He asked quietly, ignoring the cold air that hit his bare arms since he was just in a tanktop and some black jeans.

"Fine," Zayn replied in a low voice."How about you, love?"

It took Niall a while to finally reply with a simply fine since the nickname Zayn called him got him speechless.

They talked about random things really. It started off just talking about the weather but it ended up to more, more about their lives as Niall started asking of how it feels like to be a famous popstar in this young age and Zayn asking Niall about what he's studying in uni. They learned more about each other and after Zayn making Niall promise that he'd go to the gym again, he finally asked,

"Are you out or something? I can hear the wind,"

"I'm at the beach actually," Niall replied with a small nod to himself.

"Oh," Zayn mumbled."With who?"

"Er, no one. Harry is at his job and-I don't really know about Louis." He shrugged.

"Oh, you're all alone there?"

Niall looked around,"Well, except a making out couple, yes I am." he said with a chuckle.

Zayn laughed also."Mind if I come?" he asked and Niall immediately stopped laughing. He was surprised and unsure of what to say.

"Eh, no. I wouldn't mind." he mumbled and after telling Zayn where exactly he was, they hung up.

Niall sighed quietly to himself as he shivered from the cold weather, wishing he had taken his coat with him. He sure as hell was going to be sick the other day but he couldn't just leave. He was waiting for Zayn. So, he just hugged himself to hopefully warm up as he kept staring at the ocean, humming quietly the wave after wave song.

Soon enough, a car sound was heard following with a closing door. Niall bit his lip nervously and just kept looking straight ahead as Zayn sat down on the sand by him just a few seconds after.

Niall turned around to look at him and gave him a small smile which Zayn returned. He was dressed in some grey sweater that looked so good on him. He seemed so adorable and warm and Niall wanted to nuzzle into him already.

"Aren't you cold?" It was the first thing Zayn said with his eyebrows raised.

"Kinda," Niall replied with a small chuckle."It was warm when I first came."

Zayn nodded slowly and scooted closer to Niall, without saying anything else as he wrapped his arm around the other male's shoulders and started to rub both of his arms with his hands to warm him up. Really, Niall didn't need anything else. Just by Zayn's touch, he was already hot.

"Better?" He whispered as Niall nuzzled his face in Zayn's neck.

"Better." He nodded.

The two stayed like that, holding each other in silence for a couple of minutes. Niall loved how quiet Zayn was yet hated it because Niall was a loud person when he was comfortable around someone and he didn't know how it was going to work when they'd become closer. Then again, maybe Zayn was a loud person too and he just didn't show it yet either.

...

Niall had just walked inside his house after waving goodbye to Zayn who gave him a ride home with his limo. Yeah, he's fucking limo. Niall was still in shock that he had gotten inside one. It was large with seats that looked more like a sofa.

"Ni Ni!" Niall heard his nephew squeal.

"Theo!" Niall grinned, kneeling down to be in the same level with the running little boy who jumped in his arms. He hugged Theo close to his chest, smiling gently and soon letting him back go.

"You finally came! Granny is no playing with me!" The boy pouted, being all adorable making Niall chuckle.

"Lets go to my room then," he said, picking him in his arms and kissing his cheek quickly. "Did he eat?" he asked his mother who looked tired, packing the toys that Theo had spread everywhere in the living room.

After she answered his question with a nod of her head, Niall made his way to his room and let Theo on the floor who ran towards the bed and climbed on it.

And Niall just spent the rest of the night playing and cuddling his favorite kid with his mind going to Zayn every now and then and he just felt happy, even though he kept sneezing and coughing, probably because he got sick. But it didn't matter, Niall was happy.
