The Duet

9.

*Niall's POV*

"Birds flying high, you know how I feel"

I sung with the speaker. I turned up the volume and I plopped down on the couch and sung with Michael.

"It's a new life, for me"

And as soon as I belted the next line the back was not there to back me up. I turned and looked toward Liam and groaned.

"You're going to burst your ear drums." He said.

"And when I do tell the people it was because of my idol." I said getting up walking over to the stereo and turning it back up.

"Baby it's too loud." He said.

"No it's not. Remember the first time we were about to have sex and I said it was too big and you said no it's not." I said raising a eyebrow.

"This is different you can really hurt your ears." he said coming to sit by me.

"And you really hurt my ass. I think we're even." I said smiling at him and kissing his cheek.

He pulled me into his lap. "What would I do without you?" He said.

"I'd believe you would cry and think about what in life would make you deserve being without me." I said.

"How modest." He said and I sat across him in his lap.

"You wanna go get some food. Kinda want something sweet." He said.

"Oh so what you're really trying to say is that you're in the mood for me." I said smiling and he laughed.

"Then I wouldn't be in the mood for you because you're so sour." He said.

"The jokes you tell. God that one was almost funny for a second." I said and he laughed and kissed me underneath my ear.

"Maybe we can get some ice cream?" He said.

"And a brownie." I said.

"Do you want those ice cream rolls?" He asked me.

"No I think I'm being cheated with those things, I want two or three fat scoops of pralines and cream ice cream with a nice Carmel salted brownie." I said humming to myself.

"I'm really concerned about you gaining weight." He said.

"Why is that a big problem, you'll love me either way. Plus I haven't been putting on pounds anyway." I said.

"Yes you have." He said and I got off of him.

"I haven't I stood on the scale today." I said.

"You used to be 115." He said and I pulled my neck back to really look at him.

"Like 3 years ago when you could see my rib cage." I said.

"You couldn't." He said.

"I wasn't eating how I was supposed to Liam. I was too small. I've got muscle fat on me too now. But I've
gained nothing but healthy weight." I said.

"It was so easy to pick you up and stuff." He said.

"Liam I was unhealthy. You want me to loose weight for you basically because I feel great in the skin I'm in, it's like you're having a hard time accepting that." I said.
