*Early 1D days*
Niall had been sick for a few days now and he wasn't getting any better. He's been throwing up every hour and has a high fever. Luckily he's on the mend but still unwell. The boys have been doing everything in their power to keep him comfortable and help him get over this nasty bug.
"Whatcha doing Niall? I heard movement, are you throwing up?" Liam asked with worry.
Niall was on a hot streak of not throwing up for four hours.
"Nope. Just chillin out in me bed." Niall rasped back.
Liam entered the room with a glass of water.
"Have some more water buddy. You don't sound too good." Liam suggested.
Niall had been so good about being sick. He didn't complain, fight back on medicine, or do anything to give the boys a hard time.
"Ok Li." Niall replied.
He took the water from Liam with a sleepy smile. Then he drank the water down until the cup was empty.
"All done." Niall announced semi-proudly.
Liam smiled at the sick boy. Niall was the kind of guy who could find the good in any situation.
"Good job Nialler. You hungry at all or just wanna rest?" Liam asked.
Niall thought for a moment.
"Can we watch a movie?" He asked Liam, like a kid asking for a new toy.
"Of course Ni. I'll gather the lads and we can have a movie night!" Liam said with delight.
"Ok, but I wanna sit next to you." Niall stated.
Liam smiled again at Niall's comment.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Liam said, then left the room.
Later Liam had the other boys sitting in the living room and the only one missing from the party was Niall.
"I'll grab Horan so we can get started." Liam said.
Liam left the living room and walked down the hallway to Niall's room. He stopped at the door however, when he heard the undeniable sound of retching.
Upon hearing the noise, Liam immediately rushed into the room where he saw a sad sight. Niall was doubled over puking in his own lap and all over the bedding.
Liam was at Niall's side in seconds, rubbing his back and helping him turn to be puking over the bed rather than on it.
"It's ok buddy, you're gonna be ok." Liam whispered in Niall's ear.
Niall just whimpered and cried.
Niall hadn't been in this much pain since day one of being sick. He must be getting worse!
Soon Niall stopped throwing up and used his arm to wipe the drool from his mouth. Then he let out a sickly sounding cough and scrunched his face at the taste left in his mouth.
"I didn't like that." Niall said.
Liam sighed loudly at Niall's comment.
"Poor guy. I'm sorry you feel so bad suddenly." Liam said.
"No, I've been feeling bad all day actually." Niall admitted.
He fiddled nervously with his fingers.
"Aww, why didn't you tell me bud?" Liam asked.
Liam felt disappointed that he didn't notice Niall feeling sick. He was also sad that Niall didn't want to tell him even though they were best friends. In fact, sometimes Liam wished he and Niall could be more than friends. But that was just a fantasy, management would never allow it too.
"I don't know, I didn't want you to be worried about me. Plus you've already done so much and"
"Hey it's ok Ni. I understand completely. Your so considerate and loving. Also I love taking care of you. Anything that means spending time with you is my favorite." Liam said.
Niall blushed with love.
"How about we get you out of that gross bed and I'll lay with you for a while." Liam said.
"Like cuddle?" Niall asked with big puppy eyes.
"Yes, we can cuddle." Liam chuckled, also blushing.
Liam held Niall by the waist as they walked to his suitcase. Liam found a new shirt and shorts and handed them to Niall.
"Umm, can you help. I'm just really nauseous and tired." Niall asked.
Liam nodded with a soft smile.
"Lift those arms up then." Liam instructed.
Niall did as he was told and Liam slipped his shirt off. He then stripped off Niall's dirty shorts and helped him put on the fresh ones.
"You still wanna watch a movie while we cuddle?" Liam asked.
Niall looked embarrassed.
"Yes but I don't want the other guys to see me like this."
"That's ok. I'll tell them to go on without us. We can watch a movie in my room, sound good?" Liam asked softly.
Niall nodded at the idea and Liam went off to tell the boys to start their movie night and that they would be joining.
"All dealt with. Now we can hangout in my room." Liam said to Niall.
The two boys went to Liam's room and laid down in his bed. Liam had a big, cozy blanket they shared.
Niall was the first to scoot close to Liam. Liam was happy Niall wanted to be with him even when he was in a vulnerable state. It meant Liam was a comforting figure in Niall's life. You know, someone who Niall could trust and want to spend time with.
Liam put an arm around Niall. He seemed to like it so he leaned in a bit.
"You know something Liam?" Niall said cutely.
"What Ni?"
"Well I don't know if it's the fever talking, but I really like you." Niall admitted.
Liam blushed but still tried to play it cool.
"I like you too Ni." Liam said back.
I'll shook his head and looked Liam dead in the eyes.
"No, like I like like you." Niall said.
Liam was so exited about this step in their relationship he new it was the perfect time to lean in for their first kiss. Niall was thinking the same thing and he got close. The boys shared a magical first kiss.
After a minute both lads pulled away with smirks on their faces and blushing like crazy.
"You know your gonna get sick now, Li?" Niall spoke first.
"I know. And I wouldn't have it any other way." Liam replied.
After that the new couple shared another quick kiss before cuddling close and watching a movie. During the movie they both fell asleep happy and full of love for each other.
