The next morning, I woke up with Niall in my arms. Somehow during the night, Niall managed to remove his head from my lap, and was now laying on my chest with the book from yesterday in his hands. My arms were wrapped securely around his waist, and my face was buried in his blonde hair.

I blinked a few times to get the slight tiredness out of my eyes. I remove my face from Niall's messy hair and let out a content sigh as I stared up at ceiling.

I like Niall.

There's no doubt that I don't because it's quite obvious that I do. Him being in my arms gives me this warm and blissful feeling.

I turn my head to Niall's peaceful face, and I could feel my stomach scream as I look at him. Soft and quiet snores left his pink colored parted lips that I wanted to kiss so badly.

I closely lean to him and leave a small kiss on his right eyelid. He shifted a bit at my touch, but didn't wake up.

I started to lightly stroke at his hair as I silently hummed to a random song. Soon after, Niall started to slowly wake up.

He opened his eyes, and they traveled up to meet mine. He gave me a small smile, "Hi." He said, just barely below a whisper. His voice was a bit groggy from sleep, but the sound was still melodious. This was the first time I've heard Niall say something that included using his voice.

I gave him a wild grin before answering, "Hi."

❝What time is it?❞

"Probably somewhere around 9:40am or something like that."

❝Harry, don't you need to be at work?❞

❝I think I'd rather be here with you than over there.❞

Niall's cheeks blushed a strong pink color. He moved his head away from my chest, and instead hid his face at the crook of my neck. I can feel the cool small puffs of air hit my skin as he breathes.

I start to soothe his back with my hand, causing small shivers to run up his body. We stayed like this for a few minutes. The two of us both quiet and calm.

Niall was the one to break the silence, which surprised me a quite bit. "Harry?" His voice so small and quiet. "Yeah, Niall?" He removed his head from my neck and faced me.

❝Is it wrong?❞

❝Is what wrong?❞

❝That I want to kiss you.❞

I froze. Niall's eyes were burning into mine, and at that moment, I couldn't help myself as I smashed my lips to his.

It didn't bother me that the two of us had morning breath, because really, I like kissing Niall.

I didn't want anything else but to live in the moment of kissing Niall forever. The kiss was sweet, just like our first one.

I could feel Niall smiling into the kiss, which caused me to smile as well. We pulled away, but I quickly left one last peck at his lips before opening my eyes that I hadn't realized were closed.

Niall's hands were cupping my cheeks, my hands resting on his small waist. He slowly started to stroke my cheekbone with his thumb. He looked down at my lips, then back up to my eyes.

This time, Niall was the one to react first. The kiss was a lot slower than our previous ones. His lips were so mellowed and steady.

When we pulled away, Niall grabbed my hand with his and linked them together. I smiled. He traced his fingers over mine, and gave the back of my hand a small peck before turning over to me with his braced smile.

"Are you hungry? I can cook you some breakfast is you'd like?" He nodded his head rapidly, and I laughed.

I leaned in forwards and I kissed his forehead, his nose, and lastly, his lips. The two of us pulled away and stood up from our positions. Our linked hands never separating from each other's grasps.

We made our way to the restroom, brushing our teeth before going over to the kitchen.

The two of us settled on making pancakes, but they were nearly burned due to the fact that we were both quite distracted as we kissed. We still ate them, of course.

I called in sick for work, my boss gave me today and Monday off to get better, and since I don't work during Saturdays and Sundays, I have four free days.

Niall and I decided to have one of those lazy days. So we stopped by a store and bought as much sweets as we can, and we rented out a few Disney movies. When we arrived back at Niall's flat, we pushed the coffee table aside and placed all the sweets down on the floor. Niall rushed out of the room and came back with over five pillows and an overly large blanket.

The first movie we decided to watch was PeterPan. From there we changed to Alice in Wonderland, to Nemo, to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to Beauty and the Beast, all the way to Brave; when we were both already full and our eyes were dropping.

Niall and I shared a small, yet still sweet, kiss on the lips before completely knocking out with Niall's head by my neck, and my arm draped over his shoulder.
