soft (n.h)

home

it was late, niall had been at the studio working on his album almost all day. you missed him dearly, he was hardly home these days with having so much to do now that he was working solo and not with the other boys.

you waited up a little while longer, trying to stay awake say you could greet him and cuddle up before falling asleep but the urge to sleep invaded as your eyes grew heavier and heavier until you drifted off into a light slumber.

only 30 minutes later did niall walk through the door with the same sleepy feeling, he unzipped his jacket and tossed it over the back of the couch before making his way upstairs to your shared bedroom. he didn't expect you to be awake so his lips formed a small smile when he saw you tucked under the covers. he stared for a few moments longer at the girl he called his, before leaning down next to the bed and kissing her forehead gently, his soft lips and stubble brushing her skin. he was careful not to wake her, brushing a stray hair behind her ear and giving her one more kiss before pulling away and getting ready for bed.

he slipped in beside his girl, their warm skin pressing together as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, breathing in her scent before he joined her in a light slumber.

the morning after, the sun beamed through the thin material of the curtains and niall was still sleeping. you awoke and was happy to feel him beside you, you brushed your fingertips  over his chest delicately, drawing mindless patterns and thinking about how lucky you are to be with this beautiful man and call him yours.
