This Is Forever (Narry AU - Sequel to I'll Be There)

Chapter Seven

The bright sun burning on Niall and Harry's shared tent slowly woke the blonde boy up. The first thing Niall did was check if Harry was still in his arms and he sighed in relief when he saw the curly haired lad still sound asleep cuddled up next to him. Harry had his hand loosely curled into Niall's shirt as his face was nuzzled into Niall's chest, his forehead leaning against Niall's collarbones. Niall smiled as he softly played with Harry's curls, careful not to wake him. He closed his eyes for a moment to enjoy the silence surrounding them while he let his fingertips wander toward Harry's face. He placed his hand on Harry's cheek, rubbing his thumb up and down, the skin soft from sleep. He smiled again as Harry's eyelids start to flutter. 

''No, don't stop,'' Harry moaned as Niall removed his hand from Harry's face.

Niall giggled and pressed a kiss to Harry's forehead. ''You're too cute.''

''I know,'' Harry said, trying not to laugh and fighting off his blush.

''Oh, since when did you get so cocky? Because if I remember correctly, you blushed madly when I called you babycakes,'' Niall raised his eyebrow and laughed when Harry's facade fell and he pulled the blanket over his head to cover his burning face from his cackling boyfriend.

''You're so mean,'' Harry complaint, holding the duvet tighter as Niall tried to pull it from his hold.

Niall didn't answer but crawled under the covers too until he was on eyelevel with Harry's waist. Without waiting any longer he digged is fingers into Harry's sided, causing Harry to squirm and squeal. Harry tried to slap Niall's hands away but Niall wasn't having it. The covers had already been chucked to the corner of the tent because of Harry kicking with his legs to get Niall to stop, all while laughing uncontrollably. 

Niall hoisted himself on top of Harry's lap, straddling him and holding his hands above his head. ''Am I still mean?'' he asked smirking.

''Yes,'' Harry exclaimed, throwing his head back in laughter as Niall's fingers returned at his sides, tickling him until Harry was gasping for breath.

''Stop, stop, I was wrong, you're not mean, you're kind of nice,'' Harry panted as he finally managed to get away from Niall's evil fingers.

''Kind of nice??'' Niall gaped. ''You do know that I'm sitting on top of you and that I can do whatever I want to you? I'm sorry but I'm not 'kind of nice'.''

''Alright, alright!'' Harry grabbed Niall's hands as soon as he tried to move his fingers to Harry's sides again. ''You're sweet, adorable, funny, amazing, lovely, generous, cute, hot and I'm so in love with you,'' Harry spluttered as he tried to regain his composure.

The words made Niall stop dead in his track. He knew Harry loved him but hearing all of that coming from Harry's mouth made him suddenly realise that he was indeed very lucky to have Harry as his boyfriend. As Harry laid there, finally catching his breath, Niall dived forward to catch Harry's lips for a sweet kiss. The kiss was so innocent, it made them both feel like they just started dating a few days ago. When Niall pulled back, he couldn't help but blush with Harry boring his eyes into his.

''Ha, now you're the one blushing,'' Harry fist-pumped and laughed as Niall mumbled incoherent words, burying his head in the crook of Harry's neck. He wrapped his arms around Niall anyway and cuddled him.

''Hmm, I just wanna cuddle with you all day,'' Niall breathed, locking his arms around Harry's neck.

''We could do that,'' Harry suggested, rearranging the duvet by throwing it over both of their bodies.

''No, we can't. I have plans for today,'' Niall grinned mischievously, unwrapping himself from Harry's arms and crawling out of bed with a confused Harry following.
