THE BOND ABOVE ALL [Zianourry]

THE KING OF SLEEP

The next day when Niall saw Zayn and Liam curled up against each other on the bed, sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but miss Greg, his older brother. It was so amazing that this could affect him in that way; that although they knew each other only for a handful of months, they still felt like home. It felt so safe and secured when they were together, as if nothing could even touch them when they are together.

'We form a very good team'  That's what Niall thought always. He's probably the most attached one to this boy band life, considering that none of the rest were a fan of boy bands before One Direction. Niall didn't know if the boys were really loving to be in a boy band, but he for sure did know one thing, and that is that One Direction is the best thing that has ever happened to him, and he never wants to lose his mates. Yes, that's what Niall wanted, to be with them forever and ever.

"Nialler! You were supposed to wake them up, not gawk at them like they're Nandos." Louis shouted from behind him. Niall rolled his eyes before turning around. "How do you think I am supposed to wake them up when they-" he said pointing towards their sleeping friends, "are looking so peaceful and adorable when they are sleeping. I just don't have the heart to break their sleep midway. They look so peaceful and I think we should let them wake up by themselves." he whined.

Louis looked at the sleeping lads and he couldn't help but agree with Niall, they were indeed having their precious sleep, looked like they could use some more rest. Looking at them actually brought a smile, a genuine one on Louis's face washing away all his anxiousness and nervousness about the next week.

Only his lads could do that to him; wash away all the fears, all the negativity, and just fill him with happiness. When he was done fonding over the sleeping beauties, he quickly captured their picture, and turned towards Niall. "I know Niall, but the finale is just in a week, and we have to go to the rehearsals by Nine sharp, and it's already eight-fifteen. I don't think it'd be a good idea to let them sleep, considering how heavy sleeper Zayn is." Louis said with an apologetic look, almost as if he thought it was an offense to wake them up.

Niall shrugged. "Yeah, maybe you're right. But, YOU are gonna wake them up. I am out of this." he said stepping out of the door. Louis sighed, defeated. Now, he had to do the Mission Impossible.

As expected, it was not really difficult to wake Liam up. He fluttered his eyes open after three "Wake up, Liam." whispers and some light nudges, but it was now the time to wake the King of Sleep, what Louis liked to call him.

"Zayn?" he tried hesitantly as if he would kick him if he'd be louder, but Zayn didn't even stir. "Zayn! Wake up, we're gon' be late." he whispered, but still there was no effect on him. Louis sighed before shouting at the top of his lungs, "ZAYN WAKE UP, YOU BLOODY LAZY KID." and there was a light movement in Zayn, his eyebrows furrowed, forming a frown on his forehead. "That's it? You're gonna just shrug when I scream like all the microphones are inside my body!" Louis exclaimed in frustration.

He heard Liam, who had just been out of bed, laugh. "Stop laughing and help me." Louis said shooting a glare at him. "I am not up for Zayn's kick. You're the one who's a footballer, so do it. Besides, you're the oldest." Liam replied with a smirk.

"One evening with that girl and look at you." Louis said with a slight quirk of his lips. "Shut up and wake him up."  Liam scolded him, and later walked into the bathroom.

"Alrigh'" he said shrugging and thinking for a while. Liam was just back into the room, clean showered and wearing a cream chinos and a dark blue polo, and Zayn was still not up. It was becoming a trouble with each passing day to be honest. And everyone knew it was only Liam who could wake Zayn up without making him scoff. But Liam decided to be as stubborn as them today, and he let Louis do this job.
