Niam - Until Next Time

Just like he's grown accustomed to, Niall walks through the white picket fence and straight through the tall dark wooden front door. As soon as he enters, the aroma of cheese, chicken, sauce, oregano and noodles hits his nostrils. He moans in appreciation as he walks over to the kitchen. He spots Liam with his back turned checking on the food. "Smells great in here." Niall's voice startles Liam and he jumps a little before turning around and smiling at him. "Thanks. It's ready too. You're just in time. Take a seat. I'll just get the supplies." Niall smiles and sits at the table in the corner of the kitchen as he watches Liam get all the utensils necessary. "Want me to help?" Niall asks as he takes off his jacket to wrap it around the chair.

"No 's fine I got it," Liam adds as he makes his way to the table. He sets up forks and plates for the two of them before grabbing the hot dish with a towel and placing it in-between them. He sets himself down and takes a long breath before looking up at Niall and smiling. "Hi." Niall smiles back. "Hey." Liam lets his eyes linger on the boy for a while before he clears his throat. "Let's eat shall we? Hungry?" Niall shakes his head. "Starved." Liam uses his utensils to scoop up a large portion for Niall before placing it on his plate. Niall thanks him and waits for Liam to fix his own. Once he's finished, the two waste no time feasting on all the delicious pasta.

They sit in a comfortable silence eating their food, shooting glances at each other every few minutes. Whenever they make eye contact, Liam blushes and quickly looks down.

"Liam that was amazing," Niall says as he leans down in his chair, holding his stomach. "I am properly full and I need a nap." Liam laughs and stands up holding his hand out to the boy. "Would you like to go to the living room?" Niall looks at his hand and feels his heart lurch. He nods and grabs Liam's hand intertwining their fingers as they walk to the living room. He can feel that Liam has squeezed his hand a bit tighter and he likes it. He likes the thought of feeling secure.

"Would you like to watch a movie?" Liam asks as he lets go of his hand to search through them. "I have all kinds. Action, horror, comedy, romance, sci-fi, you name it I got it." Niall laughs as he steps beside him and looks as well. The whole environment just seems more intimate tonight. Dinner at the table and not the couch, an actual cooked meal and not pizza, Liam's voice seems to be softer. Niall just feels it. As he's looking through the movies he places his hand at the crease of Liam's back and leans into the movie Liam has picked up in his hand. He hears Liam's breath hitch and Niall smirks to himself as he moves his lips close to Liam's ear.

"To be honest, I'd much rather give you a massage," he whispers. Liam shudders and Niall is feeling extremely confident right now. They haven't even kissed yet but Niall can tell if he does everything smoothly he'll be getting more than kisses tonight. "Considering we both had long, hard days I think you deserve it. I'm kind of tired but I can do that for you if you'd like. Would you like that?" Liam nods his head slowly as he closes his eyes and slowly puts the dvd back in its place. "Ye-yeah that would be nice."

Niall pulls away and grabs Liam's hand gently. "Lead the way to your chamber then Liam." The older boy smiles at him and walks him through the foreign halls. As much as Niall has been over here, the only places he's ever seen are the living room, kitchen and half bath right beside the entrance of the front door, so seeing Liam's bedroom has him eager with anticipation. He looks at all the family photos on the walls as they pass them and hopes that maybe one day he will be able to meet Liam's family. He knows they're not serious but he hopes later in the future they can be.

Just as Niall is about to go deeper in his thoughts, they come to a hault in front of the last door on the right. The older boy turns to look at Niall before smiling. "Don't think I'm a big kid when you see my room. I sort of have an addiction." Niall rolls his eyes and hits Liam's arm softly. "Come on then. Can't be that bad." Liam looks apprehensive but opens the door anyways.
