Bromancin' (One Direction Short Stories)

A Kiss in the Shadows (Ziall)

Zayn's P.O.V

We were on tour and we had a big concert the next day. We had stayed at this hotel in Florida, which was pretty cool. Harry and Louis roomed together, as usual, which left the rest of us with our own hotel rooms. I was still up, knowing that I would regret loosing my precious beauty sleep later.

The dooknob jiggled slightly. I peered up from my Blackberry and stared at the door. Who could that be?

"Zayn! Let me in!"

I walked over to the door, somewhat recognizing the voice behind it. I opened it slightly, blinded by the lights in the hallway.

"What do you want, Niall? It's super late! Why aren't you sleeping?" Oh gosh, I sound like Liam.

"I can't sleep! There's constant tapping coming from next door and I don't dare go and tell whoever it is to quit it." he said, letting himself in. "Oi, it's dark in here."

I closed the door which made the room even darker. I began to feel my way over to the couch, knocking Niall over.

"Oh, sorry Nialler." I said.

By the looks of it (or the feels of it) I was hovering on top of Niall with my hands on either side of his head. I could feel his eyes on mine and I stared at the boy's dark body. I felt my hands slowly make their way to his face, tracing his eyebrows, cheeks, and finally, his lips. I leaned in, millimeters away  from his face. I froze wondering if he would reject my kiss. Niall caught me by surprise when he leaned forward. My eyes were wide, but they lit up as well. My heart began pumping harder and I was afraid Niall would notice. I began to run my fingers through his hair and down his neck.

We stopped after a while and just continued to lay there. I wish I could've seen his face. I wanted to know if it was a good or bad reaction. I never really thought I liked Niall more than a friend, but the moment was just right and I won't deny the fact that I have wondered what it would be like to kiss him.

Niall must have been pretty tired because he fell asleep right on the ground. Luckily the couch wasn't that far away. I got up and dusted myself off. Gently, I scooped up the little leprachaun off the ground and made my way over to the couch. I snuggled up beside him and pulled the covers up to our waists. I fell asleep to Niall's loud, but cute snores and warm body. 

"Night Nialler." I whispered and kissed him on the cheek before finally closing off into one of the most peaceful sleeps I've ever had. I never thought I liked Niall more than a brother, but I never said that kiss wasn't special.
