"Niall, do you know where the yoga mats are?"
Niall looked up at you as he was reading the recipe book, glasses barely sitting on his nose. "Yeah, I do."
"Well... where are they?"
"In the closet with my golf clubs, but why do you need them? You hate working out with me."
Your jaw dropped in offense and all Niall could do was look at you with a raised eyebrow, both of you knew he was right. When quarantine started, you both reacted to lockdown differently; you couldn't have been happier for some time inside where you could sleep, eat, and watch tv as much as yours and Niall's heart desired, you could go day in and day out together without being bothered by fans or paps. Niall on the other hand was incredibly antsy since he was supposed to go on tour, so he had 10 months of pent up adrenaline just sitting in his body, and the only way he could get it out was by exercising.
Your boyfriend constantly shirtless, in teeny tiny shorts, and sweating under the sun? You definitely weren't complaining, you just preferred to watch him work out from inside, not by joining him.
"Yeah well, my horoscope said "today is all about finding balance, both within and without yourself" so I figured I'd do some yoga, right? What else could that mean?"
And with that you turned and left before Niall could even process what you said. he breathed out in exasperation, it's been a week now, and almost everything you did was followed by a "well my horoscope said", and Niall loved you, he really did, but he just couldn't keep up! His horoscope was always something bad, or at the least, inconveniencing. First, he couldn't paint the wall, then it was that he should be one with himself on a day he was particularly needy for you, sure you made it up to him the day after, but that was nearly enough for him to lose it.
He knew there was no way this was actually accurate information, but the way your eyes sparkled each time you were told good fortune or happiness was coming your way, his suspicions died on his lips.
He looked over at you through the sliding glass doors as you bent and twisted your body under the sun and thought maybe this astrology thing was finally working out in his favor, if it could get you to exercise and he could admire you along the way.

Niall found you sitting cross legged on the bed, you scrolling on your laptop as he rested besides you. He took a peak at the screen and his browns quirked in confusion. "What is that babe?"
"It's my birth chart! It's a little confusing, but I'm learning."
He smiled up at you and placed a few kisses to your elbow. "What's it say then."
You looked down at him with questioning eyes, "You really wanna know? You're not gonna think it's stupid or anything?"
He scoffed, "Of course not! Cmon, maybe we can find out what planet to blame for making ya such a nutter."
"Heyy!" You retaliated, but smiled at him wanting to at least try and learn. He sat up and warped his toned arm around you, his bicep flexing against your side.
"Okay well mine says that my moon is in Scorpio, which typically means someone has intense emotional needs."
Niall let out a laugh against your shoulder, "that's true!" He didn't have to see you roll your eyes to know you did and he placed a few more kisses against your collar bone.
"It also says that having your moon in scorpio means you're loyal to the people who mean a lot to you."
You both hummed at that and Niall kissed under your ear, he knew that you two were going to be together for the long run, but it made his heart buoy in his chest knowing that there was something extra signifying your commitment.
"What about mine?" He watched you click a few tabs and was met with empty question boxes.
"Okay, first, your birthday, duh september 13, 1993. Then birthplace..."
"Mullingar." You both said in unison.
"Best place in the world, princess!" and you nodded along. He put in a little bit more information that you wouldn't know, like his birth time.
"Can't believe you don't know that babe!'
"What? How am I supposed to know what minute you were born?"
"Don't start with the excuses now!"
"Okay so, it says your moon is in Virgo, which we already knew. But it says that you are likely to be someone who is highly appreciative of structure, organization and detail. So true! Also that you have an innate need to nurture yourself and others."
"Is that one true?"
"Of course it is, you always make me feel loved."
He smiled and pressed his millionth kiss to your forehead, he stared down at you as you listed a bunch of his characteristics, zoning out after a few and honing in on the way your lips curved around each word. You continually looked up at him to make sure he was paying attention and stuttered when you saw his lovesick expression.
"Quit smiling at me, I can't stop messing up my sentences when you look at me like that"
That caused Niall to try and bite back a face splitting grin, but he couldn't help it. He tugged you into his side, like he does 5 times an hour, "Sorry babe, I just love listening to you love me."
"Oh Ni, you're such a virgo."
Such A Virgo
