Daire's POV

I woke up the next morning to see a thin ray of morning light peeking through the curtains and a sleeping Louis with his arm draped over my waist. I quietly laugh at him because of how funny he looks with my long hair completely covering his face. He slowly wiggles around, trying to get comfortable again, and I can see his eyes look up into mine.

"Morning beautiful," Lou says with his raspy morning voice. 

"Right back at you loser," I said with a small giggle. He frowned at me and scrunched his nose up. I eventually was free from Louis's grasp and went down the stairs and into the kitchen, pulling the fridge door open. It was so quiet in the house since no one else was out of bed besides me, so I was startled when Lou jumped out from around the corner. 

"Boo!" He whisper-shouted. My head whipped around to see him laughing so hard he was snorting. God, I had missed this. Finally, he pulled himself together and sat down at the table across from me.

"Lazy day?" I asked him.

"What?"

"Let's have a lazy day. We can go get some ice cream later, come back here, and just have a Top Gear marathon." 

Louis smirked. "You always have the best ideas."

-later-

I took in a long breath, soaking up the city air. Louis's hand fit perfectly in mine while we walked back to his house, eating the ice cream that was already melting onto our hands. All the way home, we were laughing at bad jokes we told each other. Once we were home, we threw out our ice cream containers and went onto Netflix to start our Top Gear marathon. I snuggled right into Louis's arms, and immediately felt warm waves of happiness go right through me. It had honestly been too long since we had a night like this. After a solid 5 episodes, I found myself struggling to stay awake.

"It's okay if you fall asleep right here baby," Lou said, his hands twisted around in my hair. Right when I was finally drifting off, I heard Louis speak to me. It was barely a whisper, like he thought I was already asleep, but I still heard it.

"I love you, Daire."

I leaned forward, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and whispered against his skin.

"I love you, Louis." 

After that, I was sleeping with the biggest smile on my face.
