Harry woke up the next day with Niall still on top of him, snoring softly. Harry smiled when he thought about the conversation they had had the night before and he suddenly felt a rush of love run through him as he thought about how lovely Niall had responded. He was so glad Niall didn't pressure him into doing something he didn't want. He was thinking about all of this when he felt Niall stir and slowly open his eyes before quickly squeezing them closed again, not able to handle the brightness in Harry's room.
''Hi,'' Harry whispered, his lips pressing against Niall's head.
''Hm,'' Niall mumbled sleepily, still floating between the world of dreams and real life.
''Did you sleep well?'' Harry grabbed the blanket from where it was hanging off the bed slightly to wrap them both up in the fluffy duvet.
Niall pressed himself even closer after mumbling an incoherent response. Harry decided to shut his mouth and let Niall wake up properly so he wrapped his arms tightly around his boyfriend and held him as the sun rose further from the horizon. After a few more silent minutes Niall cracked his eyes open again, only to be greeted with Harry's green ones.
''Are you staring at me again?'' Niall teased, grabbing Harry's hand to entwine their fingers.
''I can't help it, you are so pretty,'' Harry muttered under his breath, thinking Niall couldn't hear him. But Niall definitely had heard him and Harry figured that out too when Niall giggled and hid his face in his chest.
They lay in bed for a while, just occasionally letting their hands wander towards each other's body and kissing whenever they had the energy to move their lips. It was nearing 12 when they decided that it was time to take a shower.
''If you grab some clean boxers, I'll warm up the water, okay?'' Harry suggested, already making his way to the bathroom without waiting for a response.
Niall walked in a few seconds later and they underessed themselves wordlessly. They had showered together so often now, Harry didn't even care about being naked anymore. They stood silently under the warm water, Harry's head leaning against Niall's shoulder as Niall slowly washed Harry's body with some soap. Harry did the same to Niall after that and they got out of the shower a few giggles and kisses later.
''But think about how we'll be able to shower together everyday when we're in France,'' Harry grinned excitedly as he pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt.
''I know right?'' Niall picked a shirt out of Harry's closet and pulled it over his head. "I can't wait."
When they were dressed, they made a short trip to the bakery to get some sort of breakfast. They took what they had bought back to Harry's dorm to eat it there.
"Mmhmm, this is the best sandwich I've ever eaten," Harry moaned as he sinked his teeth into his breakfast.
"Lemme taste," Niall was already leaning over to steal a bite, opening his mouth in the proces.
"Okay, but only a small bite, Niall," Harry warned.
"Hmm, it is indeed very good," Niall nodded his head. "But mine's better."
Harry gaped at his boyfriend (who looked quite smug) and pouted. "Give me that," Harry grabbed Niall's food and took a bite.
"Uhm, nope this is so not better than mine," Harry shrugged and bumped his shoulder against Niall.
Niall giggled in response and they ate their food in silence after that. They laid down on Harry's bed, Niall on his back with Harry curling his body around him, and grabbed Harry's laptop. They opened the folder with downloaded films and chose Spiderman. Harry settled himself comfortably against Niall, snuggling his head into Niall's chest. Niall tightened his arm around Harry's shoulder and pulled him closer, kissing the top of Harry's head afterwards. And that's how they watched the movie, cuddled up together sharing sneaky kisses and lingering touches.

Exactly 3 weeks later, on June 7th, it was the day before they left to France. They were busy packing everything so that they were ready to go the day after. Harry decided to stay over at Niall's place because it was easier for Louis to pick them up from there. Harry had already said goodbye to his parents and sister who all told him to just let himself relax for a while and not think about school or anything. Harry agreed with them and wanted to fully focus on his boyfriend and his other friends while he was in France.
''Ni, you have enough clothes already,'' Harry whined, sprawled out on Niall's bed. ''Just come here and cuddle with me.''
''Stop that pouting, you know I can't resist that,'' Niall said, turning away from Harry.
Harry stood up quietly and padded over to where Niall was standing in front of his closet. He wrapped his arms around Niall's waist and giggled, leaning his forhead against the back of Niall's neck, when Niall jumped and squealed (very manly).
''Harry, let me go,'' Niall warned.
''I don't think so,'' Harry laughed as he lifted a struggling Niall into the air and carried him to the bed, throwing him on top of it. He dropped on top of Niall to keep him in place and locked his arms around Niall's body like a koala.
''Haazzz, I have to pack my thiiings,'' Niall huffed, dragging out his words.
''I think you have time to cuddle with me for 5 minutes,'' Harry nodded, not waiting for an answer when he wrapped his arms tighter around his little cuddlebear-boyfriend, sighing with content.
''Alright, alright, but only for 5 minutes,'' Niall agreed, finally giving in and wrapping his arms around Harry too, holding him tightly in place and occasionally letting his hands wander to caress his back.
And of course, five minutes turned into 10 and 10 minutes turned into 20 until Niall finally escaped Harry's tight grip after an hour of cuddling. Harry was sound asleep now and it almost made Niall swoon at how adorable Harry looked with his little pouty lips. Niall tried to ignore the butterflies in his tummy and reluctantly walked further away from his boyfriend to finish packing. It was almost 6 in the evening and they had agreed to meet Louis in front of Niall's house at 6AM the next morning.
Niall woke Harry up after he was done with packing all of his stuff and together they walked downstairs to eat dinner. Harry had his hand tightly curled around Niall's as he shuffled behind him to the dining room, still sleepy from his short nap.
They ate dinner with Niall's parents and his brother as they chatted about how the next few weeks were going to be amazing. Shortly after that, Niall and Harry disappeared upstairs, of course not without the (very unnecessary if you ask Harry) call coming from Niall's brother, telling them to use protection.
Blushing furiously, Harry quickly followed a giggling Niall up the stairs, slipping his hand in Niall's to tug him down, placing a hard kiss on his lips.
"When will your brother stop doing that?" Harry laughed.
"Probably never," Niall admitted. "He's just jealous that I have a cute boyfriend and he's still single."
Harry pressed his body to Niall's back as they walked into Niall's room. He wrapped his arms around Niall's waist and pressed his lips against his ear, leaning his head on Niall's shoulder.
"I'm so excited for tomorrow," Harry whispered like it was a secret.
Niall turned his head to look at him and smiled. "Me too and you know, Liam and Louis are the only ones with a drivers license so that means that we can cuddle all day in the car."
Harry's face lit up. He hadn't thought about that before. "Ni, this trip just gets better and better," he said as he squeezed Niall closer to his body.
"Let's go to bed, babycakes, we have to get up early tomorrow," Niall unwrapped himself from Harry's grip while Harry didn't even bother with hiding his obvious blush because babycakes was a new one.
They went to bed after brushing their teeth and setting the alarm to go off at 5AM. Harry tucked himself under Niall's arm and snuggled his face into the crook of Niall's neck. They fell asleep after a few tired mumbles and kisses, tightly wrapped up together in Niall's bed.
