perfection; pyrocynical (niall comas)

chapter twenty

"niall, where the fuck did my face wash go?" june yelled down the hall to her boyfriend, who was helping her pack. they'd already gotten his suitcases packed, and they stood proudly at the time. they had a half of a suitcase packed, and surprisingly niall needed more than june, so she was glad to give him the extra case. all of june's things became scattered as they packed niall's things, so now every small object caused a hefty amount of chaos.

"it should be on the second drawer in the bathroom closet!" niall yelled back, and june went to check, walking to the hallway that led to the bathroom and opening the door to the closet right next to the opening of the bathroom. the face wash was nowhere to be seen, and june sighed, running fingers through her hair.

"it's not there." june decided to walk to him instead of yelling again, looking up at him with hands on her hips. she saw niall take in her appearance for a moment, before pressing a kiss to her lips. she happily returned the kiss, pulling away a few moments later.

"i love you." niall tapped her nose, which made june crinkle the feature.

"i love you too. but i desperately need you to help me find the face wash."

🥀

all four of them finally got packed (june's mysterious face wash actually did end up exactly where niall said it was, though it was covered by objects) and headed out to the airport, waiting in line and going through security, which took around an hour, and then they were on the plane, niall and june on one side and alex and ani on the other. it was a fair decongested plane ride, which was good, as june wasn't a big fan of crowded spaces herself. she was a small person, and tended to be crushed between people and put under the crowd, like a wave washed over her. but she really enjoyed this plane ride, leaning onto niall's shoulder and taking a short nap.

she spent the rest of the nine hour flight either on her phone, or talking to niall, discussing anything they could think of. the girl put her hand to his, comparing the sizes and laughing. she tried to keep herself occupied but slowly grew drowsy once again, taking another nap. just before she fell asleep, she felt niall press a kiss to her cheek.

🥀

they officially made it to florida, the sun shining down onto them as the humidity scorched them alive. june didn't burn easily, so she just put a minimal amount of sunscreen on, alex doing the same. ani and niall put on just a bit more, but not much, since they were only travelling to their hotel to set their things down before actually going to disney. june spotted a bus that stopped a block down, and the group sprinted over to it before it left, paying and hastily boarding. they took seats, and june snatched out her inhaler, taking in a puff and closing her eyes.

"god, i hate physical activity."

🥀

the hotel trip was short, and june only brought her necessities. a change of clothing and shoes just in case, her wallet (obviously), an extra pair of sunglasses, and a few other miscellaneous things. she didn't need much, and waited for her friends by the door, who were struggling to find most of their things.

she went on her phone, checking her instagram briefly, which was partially blowing up with notifications from niall's fans. she'd posted a photo of him sleeping on the plane, which obviously sparked his fan's interests.

@pyrosyro: a truly peaceful lesbian.

@mmmmalux: MY FAVE COUPLE DONT EVEN AT ME

@honorarypceans: i'm crying i love them both #biculture

she was now living in both alex's and niall's shadows for the most part, she realized. sure, she got some of the attention, which she was grateful for. though, a lot of pyro's fans only liked her because she was niall's girlfriend, and alex's sister. the girl was used to it, though, and though sometimes she hated it, she couldn't do much about it except continue writing on her blog, and gain her own fans.

alex came and disturbed her thought, not that she minded. "hey, ani is making niall try and reach the tallest shelf in the bathroom, because that's where these dumbasses decided to put the towels. and i was no help because i'm short, so." he said, shrugging and laughing breathily. "how are you and niall?" he asked a moment later.

"oh, we're good. he's a really great guy." june smiled, and alex smiled wider, wiggling his eyebrows unintentionally. she immediately recognized this as his 'i have a secret' face, which made her raise her eyebrows.

"do you know something i don't know?" june asked after, which made alex's eyes widen. before he could say anything, niall and ani came out of the bathroom.

"those fucking towels, i swear to god. i almost dislocated my shoulders to get those." niall huffed, shaking his head and running fingers through his hair. june laughed, looking up at him.

"well, now that we got them, let's go." june stood up straight from her previously slouched position, grabbing her bag and standing up.

🥀

niall's perspective

he was going to do it. today. he hoped it wasn't too early, his heart quickening whenever he thought about it.

he'd watched her reactions to everything they did that day, building up the courage to ask. she was truly beautiful, he thought. he fidgeted with the velvety box in his pocket, and alex smirked over at him, knowing what was about to go down. ani didn't, as they both knew she'd spill to june immediately. alex wasn't the most trustworthy, but niall had to get his approval, so he had to tell him.

alex surprisingly didn't freak out, and simply shot him a smile when niall told him. 'june's happiness is my happiness. i wish you two the best.' he'd said to him. it boosted his confidence on the matter, and alex's approval pushed him to buy the object.

he was going to do it, now.

june's point of view

"june," niall interrupted a conversation that her and ani were having about her blog. she looked over at him, and immediately sensed something as wrong. she furrowed her eyebrows, automatically concerned.

"what's up? are you okay?" she asked, touching his shoulder. he averted this touch by going on one knee. her eyes widened, and her hand came up to cover her mouth.

"june, you're the loveliest person i've ever met. you're everything to me. and i wish i told you how i felt much earlier, because you're the love of my life. and that's why i'm asking right now, will you marry me?" he asked, looking up at her.

she began to cry, tears welling in her eyes and dripping down her face. she nodded quickly.

"yes, i will marry you, niall. of course."
