Clary's POV
Well Niall was officially back home from tour. Well not quite yet. We are all at the airport holding signs for our boys. Each of us dressed up as drivers. So our hair was all up in the hats, sunglasses on, signs for each our boys. I had a 'Mr. Horan' sign. All us girls were actually really excited to do this. We were all decked out in black suits. The boys finally emerge looking happy, yet tired, but waving to fans and signing stuff. Then they spot us. Their faces drop. I hear El snort, but she recomposes herself. They all look at us and go get their bags. We've worked really hard on our dude voices so we have got this down pat. "Mr. Horan follow me to the car." He sighs and gets his stuff. I reach down to get a bag to help him, and he lets me. I slowly walk and all the fans are asking why I'm not there. Oh god this is great. All the other girls are doing the same thing, we are slowly filing out to the cars.
"Uh sorry I didn't catch your name mate?" Mate…oh this is too great.
"Donnie sir." I open the trunk and ask him for the bags. He hands them over.
"Donnie…how come Clary isn't here?" I finish putting the bags in the trunk and open the door for him. He gets in then I hop in.
"Not sure sir, all I know is that I was instructed to get you." He just nods then looks out the window.
"It's just weird that none of the girls were here to get us…you'd think they'd be here right?" I wait for the other cars to get moving out.
"Ms. Wolf seemed very distracted when she phoned. Maybe they are out for the wedding?" He just nods then looks over at me.
"Donnie tell me something…do you think she sounded mad?" I glance at him out of the corner of my eye. Why the hell would I be mad?
"No sir…does she have a reason to be?" He sighs and shakes his head. Then stares out the window again. The others are out which means it's my turn to go. I start moving and Niall gets out his phone. What the fuck is he doing?!
"I'm going to call her…tell her I'm on my way. She's probably painting…fucking painting. That's all she does." I swallow and watch as he calls and I don't answer.
"Fuck! What the hell is her deal? Like is her stupid painting that important that she can't even answer her phone!" He slams his fist on the seat. I jump because I've never seen him this mad.
"Maybe her hands are gross and she doesn't want to answer her phone?" He snorts at me.
"She probably forgot I was even coming back…you know Donnie, there was a girl at a bar...she came at me--"
"YOU WHAT?!" I shriek and slam on the breaks. I gape at him wide-eyed. He gapes back at me.
"Cl-Clary?"
"Yea you fucking cheating bastard I HATE YOU!" I pull over and hop out of the car taking off my disguise. "Fucking drive yourself home." I shove the clothes in his face and slam his door. I march off. I hear him get out at follow me.
"Clary nothing happened! Where are you going?" I slapped him hard. Tears were flowing down my cheeks.
"Don't lie to me Niall. And I'm going away from you." I turn and he grabs me wrist I try to shake him off. But I can't because I'm a sobbing mess.
"Clary she came at me and I shoved her away, making her crash into a server and I got thrown out. I would never do that to you! You think I would?" He searches my face, then pulls me into his arms.
"No…but you said…I didn't think that…but…you…said I loved…painting more…than you…so I thought…you…" I just clung to him while he rubbed my back.
"Shh…baby it doesn't matter…I know you love painting I guess I just…you just lose yourself…sometimes it's scary. I love you and would never ever do that…now let's go home and let me show you how much I love you. " I just nod and he opens my door and he gets in to drive.
"I have a new painting to show you." He kisses my hand, not letting it go after that.
"Great babe. Now you were all the drivers right?" I smile and nod. He laughs and kisses my hand again. "Sneaky prank you all did." I nod and realize that this is perfect. We are our own perfect.

We finally get home and I drag Niall to see my new painting, but first he is greeted by my 'irrational down in the dumps because I miss my fiancée' purchase. Which was a puppy…his name is Cosmo. Well Cosmo didn't really greet Niall he stood up and is now staring at Niall.
"Clary…what is that?" I look at Niall and smile…I didn't really tell him I bought Cosmo yet.
"Uh that's Cosmo…I got him a few weeks ago. He was hard to find but I managed." I whistled and he came running over. I scooped him up and cuddled with him. He was getting kind of big but I don't care.
"That thing looks like a wolf! Wolves are illegal Clary!" Niall was looking at Cosmo then back at me. I sigh and set Cosmo down, he goes over and sniffs Niall's bags.
"He's part wolf, part malamute. Isn't he cute? We've already passed the beginner's obedience class and he's housebroken." I watch as Cosmo paws one of the bags and it falls over causing him to jump and scurry away.
"WHAT?!" Niall instantly grabs his bags and looks scared.
"Oh for heaven's sake Niall. He's part wolf! He's not going to eat you. He's very nice, and besides he's just a puppy." I grab Niall's stuff and head upstairs, I hear Cosmo's nails clicking and then I see him shoot past me. Niall groans and follows.
"Why did you get him?" I get up to our room and Cosmo was on the bed already. I smiled and cooed at him.
"Because Mom wouldn't let me have Gracie so…I got a dog of my own. And it made the house seem less empty in your absence." He smiles and kisses me then Cosmo growls. Niall steps back and his hands were raised.
"Oh yea Clary he's so nice." I laugh and sit down next to Cosmo. I motioned for Niall to come over. He did very slowly. Cosmo sniffed him then stood up and sniffed his face, then pawed his leg.
"Should I pet him? Does he like me?" I nod, so Niall pets him, and then Cosmo stands back up and starts attacking Niall with licks. I smile, really happy Cosmo likes Niall. Cosmo jumps off the bed and runs away.
"Did I scare him away?" I shake my head and plant one on him. Niall lies back down and pulls me with him. Our lips move in sync and I've missed him so much. I really have…I mean I bought a puppy.
"I have to unpack and you have to show me a new painting?" I snuggle into him and nod. I lay down and watch him unpack. Cosmo hasn't come back so I assume he's eating or chomping on one of his bones I got for him. Then I see Niall pull out some presents. I perk up and he smiles then shakes his head. "Those from the fans?"
"Yep." I snatched one up and tore it open. I look at it and see that it's pictures of us put into a collage.
"Aww this is nice…another one!" He laughs and hands me another, this one is in a bag. He goes to put away some clothes. I fling the tissue paper out and frown. I pull out these signs that say 'I DON’T'. Niall comes out and sees them, he grabs them and runs out, coming back with Cosmo not far behind. "I don't like hate." Cosmo pounces on a tissue paper and rips it. I laugh and grab another one and crumple it up, throwing it. Cosmo goes after it, he chomps down and spits it out. He sniffs it then, clearly confused by the paper. I grab the last one and pray it’s another cute gift. I open it to find cute handmade bracelets. I smile and put one on. Then I put the rest on our dresser. Niall finishes unpacking while I entertain Cosmo. "Okay all done!" He comes running out and Cosmo barks. Then attempts to pounce at Niall's feet. "OI! Bad Cosmo! Stop it! Those are my feet not yours!" I laugh while watching Niall trying to out step Cosmo. Eventually I stand up and slap my leg getting Cosmo's attention. "C'mon boy let's go show Niall my painting!" Then I run to my studio. I hear Cosmo coming and then he bullets into the room. He goes over to his spot and lies down. He's panting a bit, he's going to sleep like a rock tonight. Niall comes down and looks around for the paintings. I've done three since he was away. I go and show if the first one. It was an oil painting that took me like 2 months to finish. "Whoa…this is amazing Clary…like wow…" I smile at him then put it back before showing the other ones. One is his birthday present. Since I wasn't able to get away to see him for that. Which sucked. I show him the second one. He whistles and touches it, tracing some of the lines. "Damn…you are so gifted…are these for your exhibit?" I nod, I have to build up a gallery my mom said. So far that is three pictures. But I have some other ideas. I have no set style I just paint what I want. "I have one more Niall." It was wrapped up and I carried it over.
"What is this Clary?" He was grinning. I smiled back at him.
"Happy birthday Ni." He slowly unwraps it. I stayed up for like two nights to finish it. I watch as he peels away the wrapping and finally he can see the painting. His jaw drops and he flicks his eyes to mine. I am holding my breath because I wasn't sure if he was going to like it.

Niall's POV
I stand there looking at this painting that she made me. Holy shit it's amazing. Half the painting is a piano and the other side is a guitar…I love it. It's like a painting of us, but our preferred instruments. "I love it…this…is great. Thank you. I have something for you." I put the painting down and ran to our room, Cosmo close behind. I like him already. A good buy I think. I run back down with a tiny pouch. I place it in her hand and she smiles, opening it up see a few charms. One was a Chinese symbol for princess, and the other one was the Statue of Liberty. She smiles and slides them on her chain. Clary pulled me out of the room and down the stairs. She pushes me on the couch and straddles me. I prop up on my elbows while she leans down and kisses me. "Mm Clary…we have to be quick…the parties are tonight…" She smiles then kisses down my neck. I quickly take off her shirt and she discards mine. Soon we were both naked and I was on top. I hear a phone ringing, I go to move and she stops me. "They can wait 10 more minutes. Or hours." She links her legs around my waist pulling me in. I smile and then kiss her jaw and soon our moans drowned out Clary's ringtone. "Faster…Ni…oh…right there." I learned exactly where she liked it. After years of being together, it's amazing how much she affects me. I feel her clench up and I suck on her neck. Her nails dig into my back muscles. "God I've missed you…so tight baby."
"Niall!" Clary's hands were pulling on my hair. I was moaning, she was climaxing. I went faster and soon I was being cradled by her whole body. After I unload into her, I do a few more quick thrusts. I slowly sit up and kiss her slowly. "I love you…now we have other things to do tonight. Perhaps a shower is in order?" I get done showering, while Clary shaves her legs, and frankly I don't need to see that. I'm downstairs throwing the ball for Cosmo, the little bugger can play for hours probably. She finally comes down and I gape at what she's wearing. I stand up and Cosmo looks at me and sits down. "No absolutely not. Go change right now. Cosmo agrees. See he's by me. Looking just as equally upset." Clary crosses her arms and glares at me.
"I am not changing Niall. And Cosmo just wants you to throw the ball again." There was a knock and Liam plus Nicole were standing there. Nicole waltzes in, and whistles.
"Looking good baby! C'mon we got bars and a potential strip club to hit up! Laters Ni. See ya at home babe." She kisses Liam's cheek then they head out. I gape after them then look at Liam.
"A strip club?! Are you kidding me? You can't be okay with this!" Liam was looking at Cosmo.
"When did you get a wolf?" I look at Cosmo then at Liam.
"Uh a few weeks ago and he's only part wolf. Anyways…a fucking strip club?! Did you see what Clary was wearing!" Liam sighs and takes my arm pulling me out the door.
"Trust me I don't want them going there…but I can't really argue with Nicole. Did you see her outfit? A fucking tight leather skirt Niall. LEATHER! C'mon let's just go and hope nothing bad happens to the girls." I nod thinking at least Clary wasn't wearing leather. She has a pair of these leather pants and every time she wears them I just want to rip them off. So I'm glad she didn't wear those.

We pull up to Funky Buddha and I groan.
"Dude! C'mon its super tight security tonight because it's your bachelor's party." I hop out and go in then Harry comes over and hands my a huge beer. I smile while he clinks his glass.
"Well my friends we are gathered here today…to celebrate slash mourn Niall James Horan's last few weeks as a single man. It is a shame that we are losing such a great soldier…but Clary will keep him in line and on his toes. So to the happy couple! Now let's drink up lads!" I crack up at his speech then give him a quick hug. I never didn't have a drink in my hand. I knew it was going to be a good night and soon I stopped worrying about Clary.
