Flicker -NH

Part 14

The two stands next to each other watching the city lights under them. Niall isn't the slightest bit interested but seeing how fascinated Lexi is, he stands next to her not moving to let her watch a bit longer. 

"Come here." She giggles pulling him again running the opposite direction. "Look up." She whispers. 

He tilts his head up and feels both her hand squeezes his as their eyes meet the sky full of twinkling stars. 

"At this time of a night there are less lights up here so you can see all of them." She tells him but he's still mesmerize at the sight to give a damn. 

She lets out a chuckle and tucks his hand, shaking his out of his thoughts. "Wanna walk home now or stay till sunrise?" 

"Till sunrise." He answers putting his hand around her shoulder. 

They sit on the grass for a little bit longer until the sky slowly turns to purple, then red, and a bit of orange, and slowly the sun peeks out of the horizon. 

"I've been here so many times and seen the same sunrise over and over again." She tells him. "It just keeps getting more and more beautiful." 

He turns to his side, seeing her hugging her knees closely and her eyes slightly squint at the sunlight but glued to it anyways not wanting to miss a second. 

He can't help himself. She's sitting right there under his arms looking so much more beautiful than the scenery, he just can't take his eyes off her. 

"You're missing it." She hums starting to feel his stare. 

"I'm looking at something prettier." He hums back making her laugh, bumping his with her shoulder lightly. 

Niall reaches out to touch her soft cheek, trying to get her to turn to him. 

"No! You're distracting me." She whines but laughs as she tries to swat his hands away. 

"Stop fooling around and kiss me." He mumbles pulling her closer by her cheek. 

She doesn't fight him, instead finally breaking her staring contest with the sun and lets herself fall into his grip.
