Niall came behind Zayn and leaned down, his arms around his boyfriend's neck, his chin resting on the top of the silly Santa hat. Usually they were in the reversed roles, but neither minded as they watched Louis and Harry's kids play with their new dolls. Suddenly Michael's head shot up and looked at the two elders.
"Uncle Ni, you didn't tell Santa what you wanted!" He exclaimed, his mouth agape. Niall smiled sheepishly, standing up straight.
"Adults don't get presents from Santa, bud," he responded.
"Nonsense!" Zayn chuckled deeply, doing his best to sound like Santa. "Come, come. Sit on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas." Slightly confused, Niall did as he was told, laying his legs over Zayn's lap. Zayn's big hand rested at the base of his spine, his brown eyes sparkling with mischief.
Niall bit his lip, feeling his niece and nephew's eyes on him. "Well," Niall started, relaxing as Zayn's hand rubbed soft circles into his back. "I want to be happy with my boyfriend." The two little kids made gagging sounds behind them, causing Niall's cheeks to heat up with embarrassment. Zayn only smiled at him, gently pushing his boyfriend off his lap.
"I'm sorry that I can't give you that," Zayn responded, reaching into the very bottom of his sack. Niall's face fell slightly, standing awkwardly. "I can, however," Zayn continued, pulling out the small black box from his bag, "make you happy being your husband." Niall gasped as Zayn swiftly dropped to one knee, propping the box open in his hands and showing off the ring inside. "Niall James Horan, will you marry me?"
Tears welled in Niall's eyes as his hands covered his mouth, his eyes bright behind the water. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" He shouted, leaping at his now fiance. Zayn laughed and embraced the soon to be Mr. Malik, smiling deeply. Niall's tears wet Zayn's shoulder, but he couldn't care less as he hugged Niall, patting his back softly. "Gosh I love you."
"I love you, too, baby," Zayn breathed, kissing Niall's neck. As he slipped the ring onto Niall's finger, Nichole and Michael shared a confused glance, wondering why in the world Santa proposed to their uncle.

"Hey, babe," Zayn greeted, pecking Niall's lips as he approached, finally done with the week of school. The blonde laughed and threw his arms around his boyfriend, resting his head against the taller boy's chest, smiling contently. Zayn grinned at the younger, snaking his arms around the other's waist. He buried his face into the hair on Niall's head, careful not to crush the petals of the flowers in Niall's flower crown. Today they were made of a soft pink handful of flowers, purple streaks through the thin object.
"I missed you," Niall murmured, snuggling closer to the boy he loved. Zayn hummed in agreement, letting Niall go and smiling at him. He bent down and kissed the boy's cheek, turning around to his motorcycle.
He grabbed one of the helmets, the smaller one, and handed it to his boyfriend. "You ready to go? I've got some planning to do for a special event that's coming up soon," Zayn informed him, wiggling his eyebrows. Niall laughed and grabbed the helmet, his blue eyes meeting Zayn's brown ones.
"And what special event is this?" Niall asked as he slipped off his flower crown, placing it carefully into his book bag, making sure to zip it up after that. "Halloween is still over a month away, and I don't think there's any other holidays between now and then, so what event is it?" Zayn only smiled secretively, helping Niall into his helmet. Niall allowed Zayn's hands to buckle it, making sure it was secure so if they crashed, his baby would be okay.
