Who We Were Born To Be (Niam) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 29: Niam

Chapter 29

Liam's point of view

The next night Liam was actually looking forward to cuddling in bed with Niall. They hadn't had a performance that day so they were both less tired. “Do you want to watch a movie with me in my room?” Liam asked Niall, knowing the boy would almost certainly agree. Niall nodded eagerly

Once in his room, Liam locked the door, and said “Do you want to change into boxers and we can watch it in bed and cuddle?” Niall nodded eagerly and the two of them pulled off their clothes and pulled on boxers. Liam climbed into bed, and sat upright with his legs wide. Niall climbed in and sat down between Liam's legs, resting his back on Liam's chest and his head on Liam's shoulders.

Liam picked up the remote and flicked through the hotel channels, seeing which movies were available. They found one they both liked, and Liam dimmed the lights, and the movie started. Liam enjoyed the presence of the blond boy in his arms. Even when Niall farted, part way through the movie, they just both laughed. Things are never awkward with Niall, Liam thought. It's great.

After the movie they snuggled together in bed. Niall rested his head in the crook of Liam's neck. Liam turned his head and kissed the boy gently on the cheek. “Goodnight Niall.”

Niall turned his head and did the same to Liam. “Goodnight Li. Love you.”

I love you too Niall, Liam thought. He ran his fingers over his cheek where Niall had kissed it. I love you too.

Harry's point of view

Harry, Niall and Louis were sitting in the van together, waiting for the others and Paul to finish up after the concert, so they could all drive back to their hotel.

“So... how's it going with Liam?” Harry asked Niall. The two of them have been sleeping together every night for a week now. Surely something has happened.

Niall nodded happily. “It's good Haz.”

“Aaaaand....?” Louis put in from beside Harry.

“And what?” Niall asked, apparently clueless.

“And how's the sex?” Louis asked flatly.

Niall chuckled. “There isn't any. We just cuddle and sleep together. We haven't even kissed... well not like fully kissed on the lips.”

“Have you tried just climbing on top of him in bed and going for it?” Louis asked sassily. Harry rolled his eyes and put a hand over Louis' mouth.

“It sounds good Niall,” Harry said. “Are you good with it?” Niall nodded. “Not still lonely? Or missing James?” Harry added. Niall shook his head.

When Harry took his hand away from Louis' mouth, Louis leaned forward towards Niall and said conspiratorially. “I've seen Liam look at you Niall. When you're not looking, he watches you, and I'm pretty sure he likes what he sees. You should have seen the way he was looking at you at tonight's concert – it reminded me of how you look at a piece of peri-peri chicken.”

“Oh! We could get Nandos on the way home!” Niall pointed out, excited. “I'm starv'n! Concerts really take it out of me.”

I think you're missing the point Nialler, Harry thought, amused. Harry had also noticed the way Liam had been looking at Niall lately. And, unlike Louis, Harry had linked with Liam earlier in the day, and had taken the opportunity to pry into Liam's current feelings about the boy. For once Louis is not making it up and isn't seeing things. Liam's really really into Niall. I give it a week tops before Liam cracks.
