Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 49

Mia's POV

"Guys, we have rehearsals in like half an hour and you aren't even up yet." Liam says loudly in my ear and I groan rolling over and burying my face into Niall's chest as he squeezes his arms more tightly around me, clearly not wanting to get up either. "Guys, I'm serious, or I will set Louis on you and it seems that the lack of sleep has actually given him more energy." Liam says and I feel Niall stiffen slightly, bracing himself for something and I find myself doing the same, wondering what it is that I'm bracing myself for and then I feel it. Louis leaps onto us, I'm surprised that he doesn't hit his head on the bed above ours and then he starts to tickle us. This gets Niall up pretty quickly, but when I'm tired, I tend to get kind of grumpy and when I'm grumpy, I don't laugh at tickling, in fact, it's weird, I don't react to it, in a way it makes me even grumpier, this is one of those times. I curl up even more and Louis still attempts to tickle me but I'm not having it, it's only Georgia that knows why and thankfully she's there to protect her boyfriend from getting his head bitten off unnecessarily.

"Louis, you need to leave her, she isn't going to be in a good mood at least until tomorrow so you need to leave her and let her get up on her own, I'm not kidding, I was the last person to do something like that and I ended up getting kicked off the bed and that gave me a bruised bum so please just leave it." Georgia warns and Louis' weight diminishes as he gets off me.

"Ok, Niall, deal with your grumpy girlfriend please." Louis says, apparently not even my bad mood can make him any less cheery and I really want to smack him but I know that it's just my tiredness...maybe...no it definitely is. I usually find him funny but right now he's getting on my nerves and I need to keep my temper under control and it doesn't help that it's Georgia's birthday today and we're all organising a surprise party for her tonight and I need to stay awake and be happy and nice for that. But no matter how hard I try to get up, it's like the bed is keeping me there, then again, I'm not really trying too hard and I must have dozed off again. The next time that I open my eyes is to a sweet soapy smell coming from Niall who's in nothing but a towel, his hair sticking up and still wet. He's sat on the edge of the bed and as far as I can tell there's no one else in the room with us anymore.

"Come on beautiful, I know that you just want to curl up and stay in bed all day, trust me, I feel the same, but you need to get up, I'm sure you can fake a headache or something and have a sleep this afternoon but for now, please can you get up?" He says gently, leaning so close to me that I can feel his breath on my cheek.

"Ok, but only for you and G's birthday and I will fight the tiredness since I'm the one that has to keep her occupied." I say and I know I sound like a grumpy child.

"Ok, thank you." He says and I expect him to laugh but he doesn't, he looks concerned and kind when I sit up and look at him. I give him a small smile and lean in, giving him a short yet lingering kiss before clambering out of bed and going for a very quick shower and throwing on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt patterned with swirls and flowers but I can't find my jacket.

"Here." Niall says with a cheeky smile as he holds up one of his hoodies. I take the red hoodie with a smile back at him and slip it on. It's warm and smells deliciously of Niall as I snuggle into it making him chuckle.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing, I just love the way that you love wearing my clothes." He grins and I can't help the smile back, I don't know how but he always makes me feel better even when I'm in one of my darker moods.

We're now fully dressed and I go over to him and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him, it's a long and beautiful kiss with so much meaning and love in, only broken when Liam calls up the stairs to remind us that we're going to be late.
