Little Game Called Fire || L.S

2) Child on Christmas

Liam POV

Zayn and I walked through the back door of our mansion.  As we reached the living room, Niall was at the desk in the corner with a laptop checking the security system and Harry was concentrating on the papers sprawled out in front of him. He had his glasses on and was sitting on the floor, leaning against one of the couches.  As we walked in, we interrupted their bickering.   While Zayn went to sit next to Niall at the other desk,  I went to the couch diagonal to the one Harry was leaning on.  

Niall then turned around from his computer because I guess he was too lazy to go into our security room that actually holds all of the security systems, technology , and computers.  

So now we all faced each other in our living room.  We looked around and started smirking at one another because although we're serious criminals, we're still young and know how to let go a bit. 

Then Harry sighed and as he was taking off his glasses he asked, "So, Li ? Z ? Anything ?"

"Not anything different from previous days, H," Zayn spoke as he looked down.

"Nothing new on the security either," Niall said mainly to Zayn and i.

"Harry, need me for anything ?  I think Liam needs a rest more than I do," Zayn said, looking over to me as I realized I was slowly closing my eyes.

Harry looked over to me and stood up.  He walked over to me and pat my shoulder.

"You can rest Liam, today's just nothing, but I need you, Li, so this isn't going to happen often,"  he said with a smile.

I smiled back and thanked him, standing up. 

"You too, Z,"  Harry said looking over to Zayn and sitting down, resuming what he was doing.

Zayn immediately jumped up with a smirk and we started walking out of the living room and up the stairs, but before we reached our bedrooms we heard Niall say,

"Yo, what about me, H ?" 

Harry chucked and jokingly said, "Nope, Nialler, bad boy got to work late." 

And Harry continued to laugh as we heard them start to playfully wrestle.  Zayn and I looked to each other and started laughing knowing Niall probably had a pout on his face.

Harry POV

I normally don't give the boys time to nap so I bet they were a bit shocked but today did feel different in a comforting way and they did need sleep so I wanted to give them some time.  I don't feel guilty for Niall.  He knows that since I just let Zayn and Liam off the hook, I need him to stay on guard with me.  

As I look at my papers I squeeze my eyes shut and groan.  What can I do ?  I start to remember my normal life as a teenager before I got to where I am now.  I remember the good times like Gemma coming home on the holidays and the nights the boys came over and we played stupid games while Niall stole the tub of ice cream until we fell asleep.  I miss those times and although we make time to have them occasionally, it's not enough.  I'll change that when this whole Tomlinson case passes over.  If it passes over.  I groan again, still with my eyes closed, and think about my bad teenage times.  Like when I dated that pathetic drug-dealer, Nick.  I thank him for one thing only and that is for making me as strong as I am today because he was one of the low-life drug dealers who worked for people who work for people like me.  I'll never forget how much he broke my heart, though because I was stupid and a fool.

I opened my eyes and got up to get a drink.

"Wait ! That's it !" I announced loudly with bug eyes and a sort of evil smirk that looked more like a child's on Christmas.
