Part Eleven ~ Sleep Talking

Monday 20th February; 11.15 am

The boys had just woken up, finding themselves sore and with headaches. They all had some Advil and Harry stayed the day with Zayn and Niall, seeming upset again

"Cheer up Hazza" Zayn helped Harry clean a section of the room "you and Niall can dance again tomorrow"

"I'm surprised nobody else has died yet" Harry sighed

"Hopefully this guy is done" Zayn agreed "I am not sure how well Niall would handle my death"

"He wouldn't" Harry mumbled loading newly folded clothes into Niall's drawers

"I don't think I'd take his either" Zayn lied

"Don't worry about it mate" Harry gave a supportive smile "we're alive, that's all that matters"

"I reckon he's striking tonight" Zayn hinted toward the murder "I mean he hasn't done anything in a while and he seems to hit when we're happy and when we let our guard down so, I say tonight one of us die"

"Lets hope it's you" Harry glared

"You wish" Zayn rolled his eyes

"He's looking at you" Harry looked past Zayn to Niall who was in the kitchen area

"Huh?" Zayn frowned

"Niall, idiot" Harry stated

"Oh, right" Zayn turned his head to Niall

Niall went back to cleaning, not wanting Zayn to catch him but Zayn turned round waiting for Niall to look up. He did eventually and Zayn smiled. Niall returned it and went back to cleaning.

"So you two really like each other huh?" Harry asked

"Yeah" Zayn didn't even smile at the question

"I realize you like being macho and all" Harry stood up and in front of Zayn "but you've seriously got to prove to Niall you're for real... You said he was bored yesterday"

"He was"

"He shouldn't be bored when he's with you Zayn" Harry tsked "he's going to get sick of you and leave if you don't show interest, you've got to show that you care and you should've danced with him instead... It's not my job to keep your boyfriend entertained"

"I know" Zayn nodded "and I have tried trust me... You know that I don't like to dance"

"It was messing around"

"Still" Zayn shrugged "and besides, I do everything else with him"

"Have you been out yet?" Harry asked helping Zayn make the bed

"Not yet, nah" Zayn shook his head "but I was going to do it tomorrow night"

"Where were you going to take him?"

"Bar maybe" Zayn sighed "I mean he likes drinking so I figured why not?"

"Well if its that causal could I come along?" Harry asked

"Sure thing" Zayn nodded

Zayn turned and caught Niall looking at him again. Zayn blew a kiss and Niall blushed at the gesture

Harry looked at Niall blushing and then at Zayn who's begun concentrating on cleaning again before he spoke

"Better" Harry gave Zayn a nod of approval

"Thanks" Zayn finished up

"Thanks for yesterday by the way" Harry smiled "I had fun"

"It wasn't so bad was it?" Zayn agreed

"I'll leave you two alone yeah?" Harry asked "have some together time"

"Shut up" Zayn punched Harry's shoulder as a joke

"Niall your boyfriend is abusing me!" Harry shouted playing along

"It was once!"

"Seriously though" Harry chuckled "see ya"

"Bye"

"Bye Nialler!" Harry shouted

"Later" Niall waved his hand

Zayn was sneaking up on Niall who was still cleaning and Zayn's intention wasn't to scare Niall

"Why are you still cleaning snowflake?" Zayn held Niall's waist from behind

"Cuz"

"You can stop now" Zayn kissed Niall's cheek "I want to do something with you"

"Actually do something?" Niall asked "or just kiss me some more?"

"I wanted to watch a movie with you smartass" Zayn chuckled

"What movie?"

"Whatever you want to watch"

"Chick flicks okay?"

"Sure"

"Love Actually?"

"Course" Zayn smiled

"As long as I get popcorn"

"I'll make it" Zayn nodded "start the movie while you wait?"

Niall put down what he was doing and went to the TV, turning it on and searching for the DVD before putting it into the player and starting the movie

"Done" Niall called

The microwave began to beep, signaling the popcorn was ready

"Be there in a second"

Zayn tipped the hot popcorn into a large bowl and then carried it to the couch. He shut the curtains in the room and the two boys sat watching the movie, sneaking in kisses here and there. Niall cried, so did Zayn. Niall laughed, so did Zayn...

"Have you really not seen this?" Niall asked

"Never" Zayn smiled

Niall lay in Zayn's lap and Zayn stroked his hair softly.

"Baby, where's the popcorn?" Zayn asked

"Here" Niall offered Zayn a handful

Zayn ate from Niall's hand and then kissed each of his fingers before letting Niall have his hand back. Niall had begun to blush and let out a small girlish giggle at the affectionate gesture.

"Want more?" Niall offered

"Just a little" Zayn nodded

Niall put a few pieces into Zayn's mouth and then went back to watching the movie, finishing the popcorn that was still in his hand. Niall soon fell asleep, making Zayn smile as the small blonde mumbled in his sleep. A few times Zayn heard his own name, Niall would make the cutest little smile everytime he said Zayn's name and Zayn could no longer deny that Niall was growing on him

When Zayn tried to shift Niall grumbled and shifted up more, so that Zayn couldn't move at all anymore.

"Good one" Zayn scowled

"Love you" Niall murmured

Zayn had to smile, Niall's responses were always pretty satisfying. Niall opened his eyes and made a request while he rubbed his tired eyes

"Lie with me?"

Zayn nodded and lay behind Niall. Niall immediately fell back asleep, rolling to face Zayn who had nearly finished the movie. Zayn fell asleep just as the credits started to roll and he kissed the bridge of Niall's nose before falling into a deep sleep.
