Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 29)

Niall's POV

"You love me?" Shawn asked as I placed his hand on the armrest.

"Yeah, I do," I said, realizing what I told Shawn.

"You really do?" Shawn asked. "Like, you're not telling me this just to mess with me?"

"Yes, Shawn," I said. "I really love you."

Shawn looked at me with his big, beautiful brown eyes. "I... I love you too, Niall."

I watched Shawn's face turn red before I removed my hand from his and placed it under his chin. That's when I leaned over the armrest between us and I kissed him tenderly. Shawn immediately kissed me back and, after a few seconds, he pulled away breathless.

"Are you ready to head back to your place?" I asked, readjusting myself in my seat.

"Yeah. I'd like to continue this once we get there," Shawn winked.

I smiled and shook my head. "I thought we were going to have a calm night."

"Alright, but I want lots of cuddles," Shawn said as I started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "And I want to be smothered in kisses."

"Do you want to pull out a whole bunch of blankets and kids movies too?" I asked somewhat sarcastically.

"Yeah!" Shawn said, his eyes lighting up.

"I was being sarcastic," I said.

"I don't care," Shawn said. "As long as I get to spend time with you."

"And as long as you get your blankets, cuddles, and kisses I'm guessing?" I asked.

"Well, those too," Shawn said. "But I just want to spend time with you."

"Alright," I said.

"Are you not looking forward to spending time with me?" Shawn asked.

"I always look forward to spending time with you, handsome," I said.

Shawn's face turned a bright red and I smiled at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we got back to Shawn's apartment, Shawn jumped out of the car and nearly ran up to his door before fumbling with his key to get it into the lock. I laughed at his many attempts before he eventually got the key in the lock and unlocked his door. We walked inside and, as soon as we did, Shawn went to his room to grab his two blankets off of his bed. Once those were on the floor in his small living room, Shawn went back into his room and came back with more blankets and a few pillows.

"Got enough stuff there?" I asked, taking the blankets from him.

"Nope," Shawn said, tossing the blankets on the floor and going over to his DVD cabinet.

"Which movies are we going to watch?" I asked.

"I was thinking about some Disney movies," Shawn said. "But then I got to thinking about non-Disney movies like the Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, and, of course, Harry Potter."

"Do you have all of the Hunger Games movies?" I asked.

"Yeah, do you want to watch them?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Alright," Shawn said, grabbing the four movies out of the cabinet and walking over to the DVD player.

Once the movie was in the DVD player, Shawn walked over to the blankets and pulled one over his shoulders. He then looked at me and patted the spot next to him. I smiled and sat down next to him only to have a blanket get tossed at me.

"Hey!" I said, moving the blanket away from my face to see Shawn laughing.

That's when a thought came to my mind: I want to marry this man. I shook the thought away. We've only been dating for a month, that's not nearly enough time to fully get to know one another! Besides, we literally just told each other that we loved one another. But I want to do it one day. Maybe in a few years, or maybe when he's ready.

I smiled until I was suddenly hit by a pillow.

"Ni! Snap out of it!" Shawn said.

"Did I space out?" I asked.

"Yeah, you were staring at me for a minute or so," Shawn said.

"Did it make you uncomfortable?" I asked, beginning to worry.

"Nah, it gave me time to admire your rather ravishing features," Shawn smiled.

"Okay, now you're lying," I said.

"Nope, not lying," Shawn said. "Now, are you ready to watch the movie?"

"Yeah, I am," I smiled as Shawn pushed the play button on the remote before resting his head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and pulled him closer.
