Is a blurb with Niall sleeping on your lap ok??? Like nuzzles and blankets and everything :3
Niall would have bee a lot more upset knowing he only had an hour break before going out on stage had you not been there. However, because you had been, he quickly found himself with a blanket covering his shoulders, hips melting into the sofa between your spread legs (as to accommodate him), and his head comfortably nestled into your thighs. Zayn had been kind enough to give up the couch for you two, ruffling Niall's hair as he walked past in a way that said 'hey, I'm worried about you, and I don't think we should try making under eye circles a fashion trend,' and minutes after Zayn had played with his hair, it was your turn.
With his cheek pressed into the comfortable fabric of your leggings, Niall was on cloud nine, would maybe create his own cloud just for thoughts of this. He was incredibly warm and your fingers hadn't stopped once in his hair, scritching lightly into his scalp while his eyes dipped close. After a few minutes, it was noticeable that he was trying to hold off sleep, and you only persisted stroking his hair with softer intentions, saying,
"Get some sleep, Niall, c'mon, it's okay."
Niall did just that, holding onto the words you had murmured into his hair after leaning over slightly to reach him. At the sudden shifting of your position, Niall had ended up with his head cradled on your stomach, more of his body situated into your actual lap. He hadn't minded too much, and in fact, welcomed how you were then able to rub your hand along the back of his head and the muscles along his arms, coaxing him into a sleep.
(He woke up forty-five minutes later to you gently rousing him, kissing the sleepy skin of his forehead and nose, purposely missing his mouth so he whined and woke up even more to give you a proper kiss.)
