Santa's Got a Present for Every Good Little Boy
"Okay, so Michael goes to bed at eight, but Nichole can go to bed at eight thirty since she's older," Louis informed his brother as he handed Niall a sheet of paper. "And don't forget that Michael won't go to bed without a story, most likely a princess one. Mulan is his favorite, by the way. And Nichole needs help with her math homework, too. She only has to do half the page. Oh, and Michael-"
"Louis," Niall interrupted with a laugh, a grin stretched across his lips, "please, stop. Just go and have a nice time with Harry, Zayn and I can handle the brats for the night." Louis' cheeks tinted pink as his fingers toyed with the scarf he was wearing.
He nodded his head and pulled Niall in for a hug, patting the younger boy's back softly. "Thanks, Ni, I owe you one," he smiled. Niall just waved him off as Harry honked the car horn impatiently from outside. "Well, I think that's my cue to go. Thanks, Niall, really. It means a lot to both Harry and I. I'll see you tomorrow then?" Niall nodded his head as he pushed his brother out of the door, out into the blowing snow. Harry sat in their car, keeping it warm for his husband.
Niall watched Louis' retreating figure, making sure Louis was safely in the car before closing the door softly, locking out the heat. As he turned around, he nearly crashed into his boyfriend's chest, somehow managing to throw his hands up at the last second to avoid a collision. "Zayn!" Niall squealed, throwing his arms around the one he loved.
"Hey, babe, did Louis leave yet?" Zayn asked, bending down slightly to bump their noses together. The blonde giggled and pecked the elder's lips, nodding his head. "Mm, good. You know what we're going to do?" At Niall's shake, Zayn continued. "We're going to go into the kitchen-"
"And kiss like we always do?" Niall interrupted eagerly, earning a chuckle from his boyfriend.
"Well, I mean, yeah. But we're also going to make the dinner for the kids. Then we'll probably do some more kissing, but after that you're going to help me into my Santa outfit. Sound good?" Niall nodded and leaned up to place his lips onto Zayn's. The raven haired lad smiled and pressed back into the kiss, his hands holding onto Niall's hips. His fingers seemed to fit right into the dips and curves Niall had to offer, and Zayn absolutely loved it.
"Uncle Niall!" Nichole shouted from the living room where she and her brother were both watching Spongebob. "Mikey is poking me!" Niall only smiled in Zayn's arms, his blue eyes sparkling as he watched Michael continue to annoy his older sister.
Niall's head lulled back to stare into Zayn's soft brown eyes, which were already resting on him. "I can't wait until we get married and have children. Hearing the bickering. The little feet running around the house. Getting woken up at the early hours of the morning because our son or daughter is hungry. Wouldn't that be nice?" Niall asked, getting a dreamy look on his face. Zayn smiled fondly at the blonde as he hummed in agreement.
His lips found Niall's forehead, leaving a kiss. Then another one on his cheek. And his nose. And finally, his mouth. "I love you so much, Ni," Zayn whispered as Nichole cried out for her uncle again. Niall kissed his boyfriend again before stepping back with a grin.
"I love you too, Zee," he responded before leaving the room to break up the fight between the two siblings. Zayn just smiled at Niall, thinking about how much he really loved that boy.

"For goodness' sake, why is this so hard?" Zayn grumbled as he struggled to buckle his belt across his stuffed belly. Niall threw his head back and laughed at Zayn's latest attempt, finding himself unable to get it together yet again. Zayn stopped as Niall's laugh reached his ears, his eyes fixed on the way Niall's eyes sparkled and the way his teeth showed in his smile. He wished that he could capture the image and keep it forever.
