A/n: Hiii I'm finally back. Its been super good to take a break from updating this book for a little while, it gave me heaps of time to really sort this book out and write a ton of chapters but I must admit I've missed publishing chapters for you guys! Although it was good to take a break, it feels good to be back again with a 1700+ word Liam imagine for you all! :-)

Age 7.
"Five more minutes, you two!"
Liam and yourself frowned upon hearing his mothers voice drift into his bedroom. The two of you laid on his bedroom floor, stuffed animals in hand while you spoke in silly voices and pretended the toys were real beings.
It seemed that the two of you were having so much fun that time had slipped away from you, and it was already just about time for bed.
Liam and his mother had set up a blow-up mattress by Liam's bed before you had arrived, and at the time you had been as excited as you could get for a bed, but now it was making you a little uneasy thinking about sleeping on it.
There certainly wasn't anything wrong with it, you had even brought your own pillow from home to make it feel like you were in your own bed, but you just hadn't ever been good with staying at other people's houses and your mother knew this but Liam and yourself had begged her for hours until she finally agreed.
You just hoped you could make it through the night without having to ring your mother to come and pick you up.
"Its time for bed, you two." Liam's mother smiled down at the two of you, rolling her eyes at Liam's groans of protest.
"Five more minutes!" He pleaded, but his mother shook her head.
"I gave you five more minutes the last time you asked. Its bed time now."
After a final attempt to buy the two of you some more play time and failing, Liam finally gave up with a huff and shuffled over to his bed. He settle under his sheet while you settled into the bed beside him, cuddling into the blankets.
After saying goodnight, Liam's mother shut off the lights and walked out.
You couldn't stop your heart from racing once you were surrounded by the darkness. Tears pricked your eyes and you had to hold your hands to your eyes to keep yourself calm.
After minutes you could hear Liam's little breaths evening out and it seemed like he had already passed out, and you hated to wake him but damn it, you were scared and if you didn't wake him soon you were pretty sure you were going to start crying.
So, you pushed back the covers and clambered up onto your knees. You sat there for a moment, tired eyes watching Liam sleeping soundly tucked up in his own blue bed sheets. With a puff of air you carefully climbed onto his bed, hesitantly nudging his shoulder.
It took you a couple of goes before it finally brought Liam out of sleep, groans leaving his lips and then his eyes were opening and squinting up at you.
"(Y/n)?" He asked, rubbing at his eyes with the back of his hand while he sat up slightly. "Are you okay? Did you need to go to the bathroom? Or did you loose your stuffie?"
You shook your head, and for a second you forgot about the darkness that surrounded you. Seeing his bright eyes calmed you down and you'd forgotten why you woke him up in the first place until you suddenly remembered.
"The dark," You mumbled, sighing. "Just scares me a little. Can I... Can I sleep with you in your bed tonight?"
Liam's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, shuffling over to make room on his bed for you. You grabbed your stuffed animal from where it was still sat on your bed and brought it up with you to settle beside Liam.
