That's When I Saw You {Neth Fanfic}

4. Evolved Friendships

Beth's POV

Sunlight poured in through the giant window at the end of the room as I woke up. We were still where we were last night, Niall still behind me, seeming as though he had moved all night. The only difference was that Josie, Zayn, Tamsin and Harry had all left at some point during the night.

I heard someone's footsteps coming closer, and I sat up carefully to see who it was, and not wake up Niall in the process. It was Louis. He looked absolutely shattered.

"Morning, Lou." I said hoarsely, stretching my arms out in front of me.

"Morning, love." He replied in his rough morning voice, smiling warmly,

"What happened to you?" I laughed as he shuffled tiredly around the kitchen,

"Truth or dare happened." He sighed, "It can't be good to lick a leprechaun's foot."

"Actually it sounds lucky to me." I looked down at Niall, running my fingers through his hair as he continued to sleep.

"I definitely don't feel lucky." He chuckled, opening various cupboards and getting things out.

At this point, I felt Niall stirring underneath me, before he looked up, his eyes still partially hooded with drowsiness,

"Good morning, princess." He spoke quietly, butterflies erupting in my stomach at the name he gave me.

"Morning, sleepy." I grinned, taking my hand from his hair.

"Hi, Niall." Louis called from the kitchen,

"Hey, Lou." He replied, sitting up to look over at him as well.

"Just so you know, Nialler," Louis began, "your foot doesn't taste nice, I feel icky."

"My foot feels violated." Niall whined, stretching his arms and legs out.

"Where's everyone else?" I mumbled, looking back at Louis.

"In bed still." He walked over with a bowl of cereal, "you should see them."

"Why?" I raised an eyebrow in suspicion, "whats so interesting about them sleeping?"

"Go look for yourself." He smirked, nodding toward the corridor of bedrooms.

I gave him a confused look, before looking to Niall, who shrugged. I got up to investigate, carefully sneaking down and peaking into the first door, which happened to be Harry's. Oh my god this is so cute! They were facing each other Tamsin had her face nuzzled against Harry's bare chest, whilst he had his head on top of hers, his arms wrapped around her.

I can't wait to see how Jayn has developed overnight.

I closed Harry's bedroom door and quietly moved past one door, which I knew to be Niall's after we played hide and seek, onwards to the next one. The door was open a crack, and inside I saw them on the bed. This is even cuter! Zayn was lying on his back with Josie laying on his front. He had his arms around her, hugging her closer to him.

I 'aw'd to myself, before closing their door and moving back towards the living room, where Liam now was. As soon as I came back into the room, Niall stopped talking, and looking really embarrassed. Had they been talking about me?

"Are you alright?" I asked nervously, scanning Niall's worried face,

"Yeah don't worry." He smiled warmly, opening his arms, gesturing for me to go and join him again.

I sat down on the sofa with him again, me leaning on his shoulder as he threw an arm around my shoulder.
