Niall trails his fingers into Liam's hair and rakes through the strands, soft and short underneath his skin. "Li, wake up."
Liam makes a breathy noise and rolls away from where the beds dipped a little from Niall's weight. "'m sleepy," he mumbles, quiet and barely there into the pillow, burying his face there, and Niall can't help the smile curling on his face.
"No, up, Liam, come on. It's seven thirty; you're going to miss the rerun of monsters Inc." Liam shifts at that, silent except for his breathing. He's awake, then; Niall knows, just by the sound of his breaths.
Liam curls into the covers and shifts back to where Niall's sitting on the side of the bed, his eyes bleary and tired as he stares up at Niall. He blinks, and Niall blinks back, watches the only source of light from the bathroom flickering in Liam's eyes. Liam opens his mouth but shuts it, lips chapped from sleeping most of the day, and all Niall wants to do is to lean down and run his tongue over them. He holds himself though, and they blink at each other for a few moments; Liam looking up at Niall and Niall looking back down, elbow propped around his pillow and one leg on the floor, holding half his weight.
And then Liam rolls over and groans something in Niall's hip, wrapping his arms there and pulling lightly, mumbling small and soft, "I'm not falling for that one. monsters inc is on at nine-twenty, right after some reality show about cars, you donut." he pauses there, leaves time for both of them to breathe in and breathe out, before he laughs and Niall feels the vibration on his hip. "That sounds silly. Sounds as if cars could talk and they had formed a show based on their daily lives."
Niall laughs at that too, breathy and quiet so he can hear Liam's laugh along his side, close to a melody, all gentle tunes and makes Niall's head swim.
he pulls Liam up by his arms and rolls them both on the bed, the mattress squeaking underneath their weight mixed with Liam's surprised one --- "Niall, what---" --- and Niall tilts Liam's jaw until he can lean in and kiss, burn the touch of his lips and dig marks into the pale of his skin until they corrode. Liam gasps, his throat jumping a little from the sound and Niall kisses the spot. kisses his birthmark. ducks down lower and sweeps his lips across Liam's collarbone, light and fluttery enough to make Liam's arms fly up and grip tight on Niall's shoulders, trying to find some ground. "Niall."
Niall hums, and that makes Liam squirm, laughing a little so Niall hums against his skin again, mumbling super ticklish, aren't you? and Liam's fingers curl themselves onto the back of Niall's shirt.
"Come on, let's get up, yeah? We've literally done nothing productive today and we don't have much time left in London." Liam laughs, says and that's coming from you; usually you'd rather stay in bed all day than move an inch and Niall makes a face at him, grabbing his wrists and keeping them tight with one hand. Liam scrunches his nose, his wrists uncomfortable right against each other, but Niall grips tighter and leans down to meet their lips.
Their eyes flutter close at the touch, but Liam's stomach coils tight again like every other time they share light, feathery kisses, every time Niall presses him down to the bed but asks him to get up.
Niall's lips are warm and soft and Liam can't get enough of them, so Niall kisses him again as if he can read minds (as if he can read Liam's mind, because it always seems like he can) and says "up, come on, babe," against his lips and Liam's convinced all over again.
He nods, but Niall breathes out against his lips so he breathes in, slowly and carefully and keeps it in, breathing in Niall and breathing in this; and that makes Liam want to stay just like that for a while longer.
Sorry for any confusion guys, this part was a Zarry part for another story in my drafts but I changed it to Niam because I felt like it fitted this story better. I accidentally posted it when it wasn't fully edited so sorry for the confusion and the fact that it is short. I will be updating this story more often now so hopefully people still read it..
