When Liam woke up, he observed Michael lying in the bed, cuddled up against Kai with his head tucked under his chin.
Liam felt his heart flutter.
He pulled out his phone and took a few pictures. He couldn't resist the temptation. Both of them seemed so happy to be cuddled up while sleeping.
Michael was a good kid. He also had a good, loving uncle.
Liam decided to leave the two to sleep. He left the bedroom, softly closing the door. He felt his pocket and was glad his cigarettes were still tucked in there.
He went outside to smoke. The nicotine hit hard first thing in the morning.
When he went back inside, he saw the blonde sitting on the couch, rubbing his eyes and pouting.
"You're grumpy," Liam teased.
"You left," Kai whined.
Liam noticed the bathroom door was closed. The kid must have been in there. He took a seat next to Kai and kissed him.
Kai pulled back and smiled.
"That's better," Kai whispered.
