You had picked out a special chestnut (as Niall called it) dress for his big night hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! You were there the day he got the call from Jimmy. He was so excited and honored to do it for his friend.

After you fluffed your hair in the mirror, you walked out to the living room where Niall looked incredible in his chestnut suit and white shirt. He was standing there debating on which tie to wear and when he saw you, his face lit up as you walked over to him. "Hi, love. Which tie should I pick for today?"

"Mmmm," you hummed, looking at them. "I think...." you unbuttoned the top button he had done and opened his shirt more. "you say screw the tie and leave the shirt like that."

"Yeah?" Niall asked, looking at the few hairs poking out now.

"Definitely," you said.

"Ok, then," he said, squeezing your hand. You grabbed your clutch and headed out the door with Niall and into the car the studio had rented for you guys.

The ride was pretty short from his LA apartment, so you were there in no time and were thrown into it all so fast. From being COVID tested at the door to being shown the dressing room and Niall rehearsing, everything was coming together nicely.

Once you got back stage, Niall kept fumbling on a joke in the monologue and he sighed, putting down the paper. You walked over to him and rubbed his shoulders. "What's wrong, baby? What are you stumbling on?"

Niall rubbed his forehead between two fingers and sighed. "No. Nothing. 'M just really nervous all of a sudden."

"Aww bubs," you pouted and sat on the desk in front of him, putting your arms around his shoulders. "You," you booped his nose. "are going to be the best guest host this show has ever seen. Do you know how proud I am of you?" Niall shook his head. "So fucking proud," you whispered. Niall smiled at you. "Everything's going to be alright, ok? Just be you."

"Thank ya, babe," Niall kissed you and you kissed him back, promising to reward him with more kisses tonight after a job well done.

"You're welcome," you said, rubbing his cheek. "Now. Let's go out there and have fun and do your best ok?" you put your mask on as you were intending to sit in the audience. Niall nodded and you walked out hand in hand until you had to seperate.

You found your seat, which was a few rows back on an aisle and you had a great view. You were literally bursting with happiness for the man you loved. This was something he had always dreamed about. You see the audience coming in now, filling in their seats and you get up to let the rest of your aisle in.

The girl next to you recognizes you and you tell her to keep it down because you don't want to distract the attention away from Niall, but you two sneak a selfie in your seats anyway.

Five minutes later, the band is preparing the opening and Niall is walking out. He looks so freaking good and your cheeks hurt from smiling.

Niall stops at the marker on the floor and looks out into the crowd. He sees you and automatically a big smile appears on his face. You wink at him and blow him and kiss and he subtly winks back. "Hello, everyone. This is Jimmy Kimmel Live! I'm yer guest host, Niall Horan."

His monologue is finished and you literally almost peed yourself because you laughed so hard. He was killing it. Every segment. The Jonas Brothers one had you cracking up and his back and forth with the band and Guermillo were great as well.

Next up was Lizzo's interview. You loved Lizzo. She was one of your favorite singers and you knew Niall and Lizzo had a special type relationship. She flirted with everyone and it was harmless. You didn't mind.

The second she appeared on screen you were laughing and smiling. She had actually made Niall speechless a few times and made his face turn red. It was hilarious.

You were enjoying the banted when suddenly you felt really dizzy and nauseous. You quietly excused yourself and walked up the stairs to the dressing rooms. You showed the guard your pass and he let you through.

Once you got into the room, you ripped off your mask and went into the bathroom, kneeling over the toilet. You got hot too and fanned yourself. After a few minutes, the dizziness went away and you went over to your purse to get some tums for the nausea. You chewed two and laid down on the couch in the dressing room.

About two minutes later, Niall came bursting into the fitting room and you sat up. "Ni, what?"

"'M sorry love. We were only joking. I didn't mean ta disrespect ya at all. It was just for the show. I love ya so much. Please don't leave me. I can't live without ya," he said, sitting down on the couch.

You were trying to process everything he was sayingn as the room stopped spinning. "Niall, babe, what are you talking about?"

"Me and Liz. It was all just fer da show. Ya know I love ya and-."

You grabbed his hand. "Oh no no no! I know that. I'm not mad. I ran in here because I don't feel well and I couldn't stay out there anymore. I know how you and her are. All jokes...... but I'm really happy you came in here to check on me. Shows you really care."

"Course I care, (Y/N)," Niall said, rubbing your hand. "But are ya ok? Yer sick?" Niall put a hand up to your head and felt it.

You nodded. "I-I think so. Felt a bit dizzy and nauseous, but I'm feeling better now. Maybe it was the nerves and excitement and me under the studio lights with a mask on," you shrugged. "I don't know. I'm sorry."

"Oh my God! Want me to get a doctor? They have a medical team here?" Niall asked, getting off the couch.

You shook your head. "No. None of that. I'll be ok. I'm not 100% but it's getting better." Niall relaxed and sat back down. "I think I'll watch the rest of the show from in here though."

Niall nodded. "Ok. So, it's ok if I go back out der? Not gonna pass out on me, right?"

You smiled. "No. I'll be ok."

"Ok," Niall smiled. "Gimme a kiss."

"I don't want you getting sick-," you protested.

"(Y/N)," Niall said firmly. "I could care bloody less. Gimme a kiss fer good luck."

You leaned over and pecked his lips and he pecked yours back. He hummed as he pulled away and then smiled. "M'kay. Gotta get back out there before they never ask me back again."

You nodded and smiled, letting go of his hand as he walked out the door. "Love you."

Once Niall was back at Jimmy's desk, the show came back from commercial and he finished his interview with Lizzo. You laid down on the couch and laughed, hugging the pillow on it.

Niall continued on with the rest of the show and before you knew it, he was saying good night and it was over.

He met up with you backstage again and you congratulated him on a job well done.

"Feeling better?" he asked, his hands holding onto your hips.

"Much," you smiled.

"Good. Guess we can go then," he said, taking your hand and locking his fingers with yours. Niall said goodbye to everyone in the studio and walked outside. As soon as the door opened, screaming fans were waiting outside.

Niall was not one to deny his fans a picture or autogrpah so of course he had to walk over. "Hey guys! Thanks fer coming out? Did ya enjoy the show?" He took pieces of paper and signed things as fans were shoving camera in his face.

One fan was really nice and paid attention to you. "(Y/N)! Hi (Y/N)! Love the matching outfits!"

"Oh thanks," you giggled, gripping Niall's arm. This kind of crowd made you nervous and your social anxiety was already running out for the day. You turned to Niall and whispered. "I'm going to go wait in the car. But don't rush ok?"

He nodded. "Ya sick again?"

"No," you shook your head. You gestured to the crowd and he nodded, understanding what you meant.

"Ok. I'll meet you in a few."

"Ok," you walked back to the car and got in, letting the air condition hit you in the face.

About 15 more minutes went by and after Niall met every fan, he finally got into the car. "Ahh. They're amazin'. Such great fans. Can't believe how many people came out."

You smiled at him as he closed the door. "I know. I'm so proud of you!" You put his cheek in your hand and pulled him close to you, giving him a kiss.

"Where to?" the driver asked.

"Just take us home please," Niall said.

He nodded and you were on the way back to his apartment.

Once he grabbed your hand and kissed it, you sighed, content. "How's my girl feelin'?" He kissed your forehead as you laid your head on his shoulder.

"Better," you said. "Sorry for ruining your special day."

Niall scoffed. "We will have none of that! Ya didn't ruin anything. HAd a bloddy fun time and 'm glad ya got to come along. Just concerned 'bout ya is all."

You smiled, playing with the rings on his fingers. "I'm fine. Really."

"Mkay," he said, resting his head on yours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you got into the apartment, you stripped off your heels and dress and got changed into something more comfy. Niall had taken off his shoes and jacket at this point. "Come. Lie down," he guided you to the bed.

"Niall, I'm fine, Honestly," you told him.

"Shhhh," he said, moving the covers and putting you in bed. Once you got settled and put the comforter on top of you, you laid back. Niall sat next to you, rolling his sleeves up. "Now be honest with me, love. Do we need ta call an ambulance or doctor? Is there something life-threatening I should know about?"

You giggled a bit anf shook your head. "I don't think so. I think I'll be fine." Niall nodded and kissed you on the forehead as you laid down.

"Well, you stay here and rest up," Niall said as he unbuttoned his shirt. "Let me know if ya need anything." You nodded as Niall went to go change.

You laid down in the bed and closed your eyes. You must have fallen asleep because when you woke up, Niall was in his PJs and coming into the room with a tray for you. "So, don't be mad, but I called the doctor." You sat up in bed, rubbing your eyes. "He said it could have been a panic attack, but also ya could be dehydrated but he stilll wants ya to come in so ya have an appointment tomorrow at 11. But here take your anxiety medicine and make sure you drink this whole glass of water, ok?"

You sat up and took the medicine, gulping it down with the water. "Thanks babe."

"I'll get ya another one. Here. I made some dinner too. So we'll have dinner in bed," he said.

You dug into the food and Niall refilled the water and he came back and laid with you on the bed. You spent the whole night just cuddling and Niall checking every five minutes to make sure you were ok.

Eventually, it came time for the show to air (cause you know it's not really live, they tape it earlier in the day) and you both sat down to watch it. You laughed just as much as you did earlier and Niall had a smile on his face the whole time.

You snapped a picture of him on screen and uploaded it to your Instagram story with the caption, 'My boyfriend absolutely smashed it tonight <3.'

After you posted it, you watched the rest of the show and cuddled into Niall. When the credits started rolling, you turned to give him one more kiss. "I'm so proud of you. You were SO funny and amazing."

"Thanks, babe. I had a blast. 'M just glad yer ok," he said, pecking your lips.

"Never better," you said. "I love you."

"Love you too," he said. And then you both fell asleep with the glow of the TV illuminating you.
