Shiall & 46 for the kiss thing please! (I just need more shiall bc I love how you write them!)

thank you lovely!!

shiall: out of envy or jealousy

It could have been the sun falling across his face that woke him up. Or the distant sound of a lawnmower; their uptight, moneyed neighbors all insist on over manicuring their sprawling grounds. But the likeliest culprit is lying on his stomach next to him in bed, dead to the world but snoring loud enough to disturb it.

Shawn rubs his eyes and yawns. There’s no point rolling over and trying to go back to sleep; even if he really wanted to, Niall’s snores are too deep, too loud to sleep through.

Not that he really minds; he’s always been the morning person of the pair of them. And he only has a couple of weeks left until tour, so it’s better to get up, get moving, get the day started. He might even have time for a quick workout before Niall gets up and demands tea. Shawn grabs his phone from the bedside table and swings his legs over the side of the bed, looking at Niall over his shoulder. He debates pressing a kiss to Niall’s unruly swoop of brunet hair before getting up, but decides against it. Judging by how late Niall got in from drinks last night and how loud his snores are, it would be like disrupting a hibernating bear.

Shawn shuffles into the bathroom, relieving his bladder first and then checking his phone as he brushes his teeth. It’s stupid, Niall teases him mercilessly, but he has one of the Niall update accounts on tumblr on notification. Sue him, he likes pictures of his boyfriend. The photos online are never as good as the ones on his phone already, but still.

It’s just as he spits out his toothpaste that he sees the photos, or else he might have choked on it. If you can choke on toothpaste. If there’s a way, Shawn would have found it at the sight of Niall, out with friends at a bar, hanging all over some girl.

Shawn squints. He recognizes her. That’s not any girl, that’s Niall’s personal assistant. His friend. Their friend. He should be relieved or happy or… something. But he’s not. He sets the phone on the bathroom sink and runs his hands through his hair, trying to take deep breaths. This visceral reaction, his heart thudding practically in his ears, is out of proportion. He knows that logically, so he should be able to stop it.

It doesn’t stop. Shawn picks his phone up and looks at the photos again, trying to figure out what exactly is so wrong about them. It’s not that he thinks Niall would ever cheat on him, it’s not that he can’t trust him or Tara. They just look so… intimate. Out in public. For the whole world to see.

Shawn’s heart rate starts to slow with the realization and he takes a few more deep breaths.

It’s not like he even wants to take their relationship public. Not yet, anyway. But he can’t even say the word “flirty” with regard to Niall without their collective fandoms melting down for days. And this post with photos of Niall being so openly affectionate with a woman has almost no notes. It’s the kind of freedom that’s years off for Shawn, if he’ll ever even get there.

He sets the phone down with more force than he intended to, and gives it an apologetic pat. Blushing even though he’s by himself and there’s no one there to tease him for that, Shawn turns and walks out to the bedroom.

Niall’s snores have died down to cute little snuffles. If Shawn was in a better mood and had his phone in his hand, he would record it so he could watch from the road. It’s always this kind of little thing that he forgets when he’s gone. Niall smacks his lips and it jolts Shawn out of his reverie. He sits down on the side of the bed, next to Niall’s prone form, and pokes him in the side. Hard.

“Mmrph.”

Shawn pokes the bear again.

Niall groans and brings his hands up to cover his face, but Shawn gently pulls them away.

“What,” Niall rasps, blinking in confusion. “Shawny, what are you doing?”

He’s still about a quarter asleep, all rumpled with marks from sleeping so heavily on the sheets across his cheek. It’s just really cute. Images from tumblr flood Shawn’s brain, tainting the moment. He leans down and captures Niall’s lips in a kiss, noting in satisfaction how they automatically move against his, even though Niall has just woken up, probably with a massive hangover.

Shawn pushes Niall’s shoulder gently until he’s lying on his back and crawls into bed over him. Niall runs his hands along Shawn’s sides, huffing a laugh when Shawn shivers. He can’t help himself, he dips his head and kisses Niall again, slipping his tongue into Niall’s mouth when he sighs in contentment or pleasure or both. His breath isn’t that bad, just a bit stale, so Shawn keeps going and their tongues dance together.

It’s not enough, he needs to mark Niall as his, so he kisses down his skin to where his neck and shoulder meet, biting at the soft skin before licking over it. Niall pants, cupping the back of Shawn’s head with one hand, so Shawn takes the permission and gives him a small hickey, one easy to keep out of sight but dark enough to soothe the ache of not being the one in those photos with Niall.

“What’s this all about?” Niall asks, petting at Shawn’s hair as he rests his forehead against Niall’s chest. “Been awhile since you woke me up for a shag.”

Shawn laughs against Niall’s chest. He’ll tell him, he always tells him, but not just yet.

“Why don’t I make you some tea,” he offers, looking up through his lashes. “Then we can talk about that shag?”

send me a ship and a number and I’ll write a kiss

So I’m almost done with my second reading of Never Be and I just gotta ask... did you purposefully put in tiny little references to Friends that people not obsessed with Friends might not notice? Lol. I’m 10000% obsessed with Friends so every time I see a small reference I pause. I just read ‘say hi to the rat babies’ and literally had to stop reading to come and ask you this! I love the references, I just had to ask!

YES. 100% YES. I love taking pieces from Friends and incorporating it some way or another. That line was directly taken from the show, as was the entire summary! Most of my fics have a Friends line or two in them, but Never Be was heavy on the references (so was Perfect Storm). A lot of people took that part specifically out of context and said I was “bashing Louis” but guys. Listen. Phoebe had rat babies. And that’s as deep as it went.

Bless your soul for catching them all!
