Niall Blurbs

Dodgy Knees

You were in the kitchen, putting the dishes away when you hear Niall come in. You glance up and smile a bit before frowning at the grimace on his face. "What's wrong darling?" You ask and set the bowls in your hand down.

"Played footie and fucked up my knee." He huffs out.

"Left or right?" You ask and go get some ibuprofen from the cupboard along with a bottle of water from the fridge. You glance at him as you grab a plastic bag to fill ice.

"My right knee." He sighs and goes to the couch and plops down.

You come in with the ice pack, pain killers, and water. You put his foot under a pillow so it's elevated a bit. "Take these." You give him the pills and the bottle. He takes them effortlessly after you put the ice pack on his knee.

"I just want the knees of a twenty three year old, it's not even funny anymore. Playing football for an hour shouldn't have any repercussions for a twenty three year old." Niall mutters, leaning his head back onto the couch.

You sigh and sit next to him, rubbing at his scared knee lightly. "I know darling. I'm so sorry." You murmur, "Maybe you need to look into getting surgery in fixing this knee." You say softly, continue to massage his knee gently.

He huffs softly and doesn't look at you.

"I know." You say quietly and lean down to kiss the dark pink line on his knee. "Try taking an aspirin before you go and play too." You stand up. "I'll get you a banana. Relax." You put on a footie match for him. "Need anything else?" You ask and he shakes his head a bit but catches your hand as you gently rub his shoulder.

He pulls you back and pulls you close to him, "I love you. Thanks for loving me and my dodgy old man knees of mine."

You hum and lean in the rest of the way to give him a gentle kiss. "Always, darling. I'm sorry that you're in pain. Let me go get you a snack and we can have cuddles and watch a movie." You murmur and give him another kiss. "I love you."

You kiss his nose before going to get snacks and come back for cuddles and Step Brothers.
