**LIAMS POV**

I was in a deep sleep dreaming about Niall, dirty dreams. Me and Niall were about to get it in until I felt a someone shaking me awake. I opened my eyes slowly and looked over at the clock on my night stand, 3:27 a.m. Who was waking me up at 3 in the morning? I groaned looking for the person who shaken me awake.

I could barely make out who it was from the darkness but I assumed it was Niall. I turned on the lamp next to me then looked over to find Niall crying holding his nose. I looked at him in confusion.

"Niall, are you okay?" He shook his head. I hugged him pulling him onto my lap.

"What happened? Why are you holding y-" I noticed blood on his arms, sheets, and his clothes.

"Are you okay?! Is your nose bleeding?!" He moved his hand wiping tears away and sniffled.

"Y-You elbowed m-me in the n-nose. And it hurt-ts." He cried. I did this to him. I wiped his tears away with my thumb.

"I am so sorry, Niall. I didn't mean to. I must have been asleep. Cmon." I picked him up carrying him into the bathroom and sat him on the toilet. I shivered noticing I had no shirt on. I ignored that fact and grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink, kneeling down in front of him, I opened the kit and grabbed a towel. I wetted the towel and dabbed Niall's nose causing him to wince.

"Sorry." I wiped his tears away and continued dabbing at his nose more gentle while holding his hand, rubbing his knuckles trying to calm him down. After I was done cleaning it up I gave him some tissues to shove up his nose to try and stop the bleeding.

I picked him back up laying him on the bed.

"I'm going to get you an ice pack, do you want anything?" He looked up at me rubbing his eyes still sniffling.

"Can I-I have some.. ice cream?" I chuckled smiling softly.

"Of course." A small smile tugged on his lips. I went downstairs and got the ice pack and a bowl of Niall's favorite ice cream then headed back upstairs. I entered the room handing him the bowl of ice cream and sat next to him.

"Thank you." He mumbled. I kissed him on the forehead, my lips lingering and I pulled back whispering.

"Anything for you." I pulled him on my lap again holding him close to my chest, his head under my chin, and I rocked us back and forth, humming as he ate his ice cream.

Niall ended up falling back asleep with his bowl of ice cream half gone. I grabbed the bowl trying not disturb him and I sat it on the night stand then flicked the light back off. I grabbed the side of the blanket without blood on it and covered it over us. I slid down onto my pillow holding Niall closer, making sure he was breathing out of his mouth before I fell drifted back into my deep sleep.

I woke up still holding Niall in my arms, close to my chest. I yawned rubbing my eyes and looked down at Niall. Noticing his nose was slightly turning purple. I hope i didnt break it, I wouldnt be able to live with myself. Besides his poor, little nose he's so stunning when he sleeps, his face looks so relaxed and he looked like an angel. I smiled cupping his cheek gently and kissed his forehead. I slowly slid out from under him and propped him on the pillow, pulling the cover over him, grabbed some clothes and headed for the bathroom. I got in the shower, thinking of how happy I am to be with him. I could hear the rain beating against the bathroom window and the loud thunder vibrate from under my feet. I ignored it and washed my hair and body. Finishing up, I got out, dried off and put my clothes on, walking out.

I shifted down the hall and peeked into my room finding Niall in the corner curled up on the floor.

"Niall?" He was crying, I could here it. I walked in over to him and crouched down next to him.
