Black And White : A Niall Horan Fanfiction

29.

"Lily these are amazing!" Niall said as he picked up my drawing from last week. I personally thought it was one of my worser pieces but he seemed to like it. In the middle of the paper was an eye with a single tear falling from it. I had written body shaming comments all around the page in graffiti style writing.

"I couldn't get the tear right on that," I said and reached in the box to pull out another piece of paper.

"Really? It looks perfect to me," Niall said and put it down next to him on the bed.

"Here, this is one of my favourite drawing I've ever done."

I handed him a piece of amazing quality, A3 paper. The drawing was portrait and took up the whole paper. I had drawn the face of someone, all the details were spot on. The face had no colour, it was completely black and white. I had not drawn eyes for where the eyes would normally be. Instead I had drawn open windows showing a land of colour and joy. Through the windows the sky was blue and the grass was green.

"Lily, this really is beautiful" Niall said after a few minutes.

I smiled, "Thank you, it took me around 2 and a half months. I was desperate to get every little detail exactly right."

Niall handed it back to me carefully and I put it back in the box. Niall put the lid on for me and I went to climb back on my chair to put it back on my shelf.

I jumped back on my bed and put my head on a pillow. I didn't know what time it was but I knew I was tired and wanted to go to sleep. Suddenly Niall laid down next to me. I felt an urge to cuddle up to him but I thought it would've been weird so I kept away.

"I'm going to sleep. I'm sorry I just can't stay awake any longer. Your welcome to stay and sleep on that side or the bed if you want. I honestly don't care. OK goodnight," a yawn broke through at the very end.

I don't know if Niall replied or if he just stayed quiet because as soon as my eyelids closed I fell right to sleep not caring if Niall had answered or not.

I woke up the next morning at 10:50. I climbed out of bed and walked to the small bathroom attached to my room to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I walked back into my room I discovered that Niall had in fact stayed the night. He laid on the left side of my bed on his front. His mouth was parted slightly and I admired how peaceful he looked when he was sleeping.

I walked to my wardrobe and grabbed some light blue, straight leg jeans and a black, v - neck jumper. I took a random bra and pants out my underwear draw and took my outfit to the bathroom to get changed.

"You look nice," Niall said when I walked back into my room. He was sat up in my bed rubbing one of his eyes.

"Thanks. I would offer you some clothes but Tyler's would be to small and you wouldn't want to wear my dad's," I said to him as I put in a pair of smallish hoops.

"It's OK, im fine with what I'm wearing now," he said.

I finished getting ready and finally got a chance to sag good morning to Evie.

"Good morning boo boo. Is it a good day? Should we go for a quick walkie before breakfast? Yeah? Yeah? OK." I said in my dog voice.

"Can I tag alone on the walk?" Niall asked as he climbed off my bed.

"Sure," I told him.

Niall went to the toilet quickly and brushed his hair. It grossed me out slightly that he was wearing the same clothes that he slept in but I tried to ignore it.

I grabbed Evie's collar when we got downstairs and put it on her. She didn't need a lead because she was almost always right by my feet when I took her for a walk. I opened the front door and stepped outside into the cool morning breeze with Niall following behind me.
