"yeah mum. everything's fine. he's asleep right now...yeah i'll tell him when he's awake. love you too. bye mum."
zayn sighed and placed his phone on niall's night stand. he battled with himself if he should take a quick drive to get some breakfast before niall awakes or wait until he does wake up and go with him.
niall's been asleep for awhile now and zayn isn't sure when he will wake up. it could be any minute or any hour.
so zayn decided to head out now, quickly tell maura that he will be back (in case niall wakes up wondering around the house looking for him) and asked her if she wanted anything from mcdonald's.
"i'm good, love, thank you though!" maura smiled and waved to zayn. "see you soon."
zayn smiled back and grabbed his keys from the black bowl maura keeps on the stand by the door and exited the small blue house.
the drive was short. but the line for the drive through was extremely long.
zayn patiently waited for the line to move. as he did, a smile appeared on his face as he thought about last night with niall. he thought about the kiss they shared and the warm cuddles as well. (they cuddled quite frequently, but those ones from last night felt a lot more special to zayn.) and just the thought of niall, niall, liking him back made him so extremely happy. and he's never felt this happy before. and he noticed that he's never happy unless he's with niall or niall's on his mind. and he's never thought of thi before, but niall, his best friend for years, makes him happy. and he thinks: do i make niall this happy, too?

"i brought food," zayn mumbled when he walked into niall's bedroom seeing niall sat up in bed with a tired expression. "are you hungry?"
niall nodded his head. "yeah, i am." he smiled. "thank you."
zayn took off his slip on vans and placed them by the closet and crawled back in the bed with niall carrying the warm bag of junk food.
the two sat in silence, enjoying the moment and filling their stomachs with food.
"do you want to do something today?" zayn asked breaking the long silence.
niall continued to chew his food before replying. "hmm well. i'm not sure if there's anything we can do. oh wait! there's a new pet store by the park. can we go look at the puppies?" niall smiled a childish smile.
zayn laughed. (almost choking on his hash brown) "of course we can." he said, crumbling up the bag filled with wrappers. "would you like to go now? it's a nice day for a walk."
"yes!"
--
"aw zaynie look at these puppies!" niall pointed to a glass box with two baby labs. one covered with golden furr and the other covered in black. "it's us...as puppies!" niall exclaimed laughing.
zayn watched the puppies. the black one in the corner of the container, trying to sleep, and the other jumping around in excitement biting at the black ones ear.
zayn smiled realizing that yes, these puppies were niall and zayn.
niall looked at zayn and down to his hand, grabbing it and lacing their fingers together. zayn smiled, looking to the side not wanting niall to see him blush.
"let's go to the park?" niall asked.
the two walked across the street, hand in hand, and entered the large park. sitting at an isolated bench. zayn and niall talked about random things making each other laugh.
once zayn slowed down from laughing too hard at one of niall's ridiculous jokes, (which went along the lines of 'to guys walk into a bar. one of them get a concussion') he stared into niall's eyes, noticing how blue they were today and how much they looked like the ocean that zayn grew to love as a child.
"what?" niall asked seeing zayn watch him. niall's voice was quiet as his face grew slightly red.
zayn smiled in aw. "n-nothing." zayn mumbled. "can i....tell you something ni?"
niall nodded.
"i um. i know you're sad, niall, and i would love to tell you that i understand and i know what you're going through. but i don't know...but i know that i will be here no matter what. i'm here if you ever need someone to talk to, niall. and you already know my feelings towards you. but do you know how fücking happy you make me? you make me extremely happy niall. and i would honestly hope it's the same for you.
"your laugh. i can't even explain it. it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. and your eyes, they shine so bright whenever you talk about something you love. and you. you are so incredible niall. and i'm not good with words, but i like you so, so much baby. and who knows? i'm pretty sure i love you. i've never felt anything like this so maybe."
zayn looked to niall and saw a tear roll down his face. he brought his hand and wiped it away, leaving niall with a small smile.
"and i want to ask you." zayn took a breath. "will you do the honor and make this, whatever we are official? i want to be your boyfriend. and i want to be able to kiss you whenever and wherever we are because you fücking deserve to be kissed every second and hour of the day.
"and i know that me being with you won't end your sadness, but i want to fix you, niall. and one day you won't feel a single bit sad."
and now niall was full on crying. he's never had anyone say something like that to him.
niall smiled up at zayn through the tears and nodded his head over again. "yes, yes, zayn i'll be your boyfriend." he then reached over and hugged his now boyfriend. "thank you zee. nobody has ever said anything to me like that. i love you so much."
