You set down the last box and puff out a long sigh. Finally moved in.

Well, you still need to unpack of course, but everything is here. You finally have your own place with Niall. It feels like everything is falling into place for the most amazing life.

On cue, your most amazing boyfriend walks in behind you. "Oh babe, you didn't have to carry that." He says, sitting you down on a dining room chair; one of the few pieces of furniture you have right now.

"Oh calm down, Niall." You look up at him leaning over you, "I'm tougher than I look."

"There's no need for you to strain your perfect muscles, my love. You have me!" He swoops around and lifts four full boxes into the air above his head in an impressive display of strength.

You giggle, standing as he sets them down. You lean in close, "Then you get to bring in the furniture once we get some."

He laughs an adorable chuckle at your teasing. You slip out from his arms and run away from him. He chases you in response, his fluffy blonde hair bouncing as he bounds around your new house behind you.

You've seen all these rooms before during the process of choosing and buying the house, but it was just now setting in that they're part of your home.

After a while of chasing, he catches up and grabs you from behind. You play fight and wrestle for a bit before giving up to catch your breath.

You lay together on the carpeted floor of your new bedroom, breathing heavily. "This is amazing" you say, turning to Niall. "Everything just feels perfect."

"Yeah?" He asks, sitting up a bit to look at you.

"Yeah." It brings a small smile to your face. "I had this whole life before you; family, friends, school, work..."

He just looks at you, waiting for you to continue.

"It was a completely different world. I liked it, of course... but nothing compares to this, with you."

He smiles, his eyes squinting slightly as he bares his strangely perfect teeth.

"I get it," he says, "I mean, even when I'm performing with the guys; you'd think being a pop star would feel like a dream but it's kinda just a different version of normal life at the end of the day."

He takes a breath and then quickly looks back at you. "Not that I'm not grateful of course!" He kinda laughs at his slip. "But even with how lucky I am to have such a huge opportunity, day to day life never felt as amazing as this."

Tears of joy find their way to your eyes but none fall. "You really feel that way?" You ask, voice high and wet with emotion.

"I love you, y/n." He says, cementing the world around you as the one where you belong.

"I love you too, Niall."
