Niall's Pov:

I wake up real sluggishly from the hangover I have. My head is pounding with pain. Luckily I have a box of aspirin in my nightstand for nights of drinking. Ive come to terms with the pain of a hangover. Ive had one enough times Im used to it by now. Anyways, the pain feels good. It makes me forget everything else.

I reach into the nightstand next to me and feel a bit of resistance around my waist. Ignoring it, I pull out the box and take a pill out. Theres a glass of water on the nightstand. I sit up to get it. Feeling the resistance again, I turn around to find Liam laying behind me with his hand around my waist. He's not awake yet.

Shocked, I smiled. I slowly sink back into the bed so I could continue to be held by Liam. It felt great. Being held by him. He was warm. I spend the next couple of minutes just enjoying his presence. I cuddle into him the more I just lay there. He smells so wonderful.

After about 20 minutes I hear a moan. Quickly, I pretend to be asleep. Liam was waking up. His arm is still around me. "What am I doing here?" Liam pulls his arm off of me. "Oh, its Niall" he says in his sexy sleepy tone of voice. He lays back down and puts his arm back around me while snuggling in closer to me. I smile and lay next to him for a little while.

Since Liam still thinks Im asleep, I 'wake up' and pretend Ive been sleeping the whole time.

I let out a quiet little moan. "Ugh, what time is it? Its 11:30." I get up out of bed and turn around to look at Liam. He looks so cute when he sleeps. I wish he could just hold me forever while we sleep. "When did Liam get here?" He must have fallen back asleep.

I grab my phone from my table side and put it in my sweatpants pocket. I take the aspirin with some water. I didn't even really need it. After I figured out I was cuddling with Liam, the hangover pain just went away.

I make my way to the living room. When I walk in, Louis is lying on the couch. "Oh my god, my head is throbbing."

"Mine is too. I had an aspirin." I tell him.

"Can you get me one?" Lou asks.

"Sure. I'll be right back". I leave the living room and go back to my room.

When I enter my room, I find Liam sitting up in my bed on his phone. "Hey Ni, do you have any idea why Im sleeping here?"

I smile. "Beats me." He gives me a strange look. I know exactly why.

I go to reach into my nightstand to grab an aspirin for Louis.

"Ni, whats on your wrist?" Oh shit. Oh shit. I didn't even realize Im only wearing a t-shirt. Louis must be too hungover to have noticed. Im surprised Liam noticed. He must have been pretty drunk last night to have kissed me. Luckily, Im wearing a few of my bracelets to cover up the cuts kinda well. I panic real bad. I don't want him to know. I don't want anyone to know.

"What are you talking about? Just my wristbands." I say.

"No under them." He points at them.

"Oh these, I think I got scratched while I was walking home from the bar last night. I don't remember much though. At least thats what I think happened." That was such a shitty lie. He's never going to believe that. What if he calls me out on it. Maybe he's too hungover or something to care.

"Makes sense." He nods.

He believed me! Home free. I just need to throw on a sweatshirt or something before I leave. Theres this dark blue zip up sweatshirt laying on the ground next to my bed. It looks like what I wore last night. I pulled it on and zipped it up.

On the way out the door, I hear Liams voice. "So Ni. Umm, did you remember anything about last night by any chance?"

I half smile. "Nope." I wink at him. "Do you?"

He smiles and lets out a little laugh. "Nope." I couldn't tell if he did remember or not. But I sure did.

I leave the room to go into the kitchen. I run a glass of water under the tap. I bring it into Louis who's sitting on the couch with an ice pack resting on his head.

"Aww thanks lad. You're the best."

"No problem."

I sit next to him and watch tv with him. Me and Louis relax on the couch together. The rest of the day went on like it should. The only difference was, every time I saw Liam, I smiled a little more.
