It's another school year and students are hype.Well, for Harry that is.He's always been excited every new school year starts that's because he loves school and studying unlike Louis, his best friend, hated studying. Good thing he's still alive at college with of course the help of Harry. He never know where he's at now without him. He'd survived 3 years of college because of Harry."Think about it Lou, we're seniors! We should be Happy because we're at the last chapter! Hooray!" Harry cheered as him and Louis are inside their dorm. Harry just woke up Louis from his deep slumber, or where he's still in hangover from the party he'd attended last night. Louis groaned "Could you please be quiet? My head is pounding" Louis said as he massage his temples "I told you not to go that party" Harry said as Louis glared at him "You're a party pooper so shut up" Harry laughed.Harry's not a party goer. He prefers to stay in and do some reading. He loves to read and sometimes, out of boredom, he compose songs and Louis is his total opposite. He loves to go party every night, even if its a school night and he loves to take home ladies and sometimes guys "Come on Louis, lets go to class" Harry said as he pulled Louis up from his bed "No! Please let me stay at the dorm, I promise I'll go to class tomorrow!" Louis pleaded as Harry shake his head "Nope, you're going. Come on" Harry pulled Louis, holding him on his wrist.They're always like this, if Louis has a hangover, Harry would be the one to babysit him—in short, Harry is the Mom.After how many minutes of forcing Louis to take a shower and to get dressed, they finally made it to their uni. Harry keeps on pulling Louis with him as Louis groaned because from the humiliation. Harry keeps on pulling him towards the entryway of their college, holding his wrist tighter—he's treating him like a baby and Louis hates it.The students began to whisper looking at Harry and Louis. Some girls giggled while others laughed "Okay, I think I can walk on my own" Louis said as he forcefully removed his hand from Harry's grip "If you say so" Harry smiled as they continued their way to class."Welcome to Psych 401" the professor said as Harry is all smiles while the other students, looks bored, including Louis "So, now that you're all seniors, I only ask one thing from you and that's—" the professor hadn't finished his sentences when the classroom door opened and a late student came inside, catching his breath "Sorry I'm late" said the student "Well, I only ask one thing and not to be late like this gentleman" the professor said as he gave the guy a look "Take your sit Mister—" the professor looked at him as he waited for his name "—uh Malik, Zayn Malik" Zayn answered "Okay Mr Malik, take your sit" the professor said as Zayn made his way to the empty chairs.The girls then begun to murmur and suppressed their giggles. Zayn then smiled at the girls as the girls squealed and dreamily sighed. Yep, he still got it. The charisma and charm. As Zayn sat, something caught his attention at the far corner of the room. Zayn's upper body made a slow turn as his eyes darted at the sleeping guy. No, not the sleeping guy but the guy next to him, a guy with a curly long hair up to his shoulders and green eyes who's so focused looking at the whiteboard.Zayn was waiting for him to look on his way but the guy didn't even bothered looking or just take one glance at Zayn. Huh, that's weird. Zayn mostly can catch any attention but this guy, he didn't even spare a second to look at him.Class was boring, as usual. When it ended the students began to packed up and begin to exit the room. The girls intentionally passed by Zayn just to say HI or ask him out to eat but Zayn decline all of them because his focus is at the green eyed curly who still, hadn't landed his eyes at Zayn.Maybe this guy is straight? But Zayn's instinct tells him that he's not. It doesn't matter if he's straight, Zayn will make him crave for him. Zayn already has a lot of victims who are straight that are now chasing Zayn because he's so charming and good in bed. The curly hair began to walk towards the exit of the room with the sleepy dude.Zayn took the chance as he ran towards the curly hair and his sleeping buddy. Zayn went towards the door as he blocked their way "Hey" Zayn gave out his flirty smile as curly didn't even smiled back. Usually, they would smile back or blush but this one, he didn't even flinched!He looked at Zayn with a weird expression "Uh, can I help you?" Harry asked and wow, he has deep voice that sent shivers to Zayn's spine "Hey, you're Zayn right?" Louis said as Harry looked at him "Oh he's your friend, I thought he's talking to me. I'll wait for you outside Lou" Harry said as he walked past Zayn.But before he can made it outside, Zayn take hold of his wrist and spun Harry around "I don't know that guy and I'm talking to you" Zayn gave out his sexy smirk as Harry just stared at him with a cringe expression "Uh, do you need something?" Harry asked and he wiggled his arms away making Zayn let go of his wrist. Zayn stood closer to him, their tip of their noses almost touching "Your name and number, Babe" Zayn flirtatiously said as Harry's eyes widened "Excuse me?!" who does he think he is?! Harry suddenly feels annoyed "You douchebag! Louis! Come on!" Harry hissed as he's getting pissed off from this pervy guy. Harry then stormed off as Louis walked past by Zayn and followed Harry from the hallway.Zayn was left there, stunned. What just happened?!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry and Louis stopped by at the cafe.Harry needs some coffee to make his brain work.Is he just dreaming? Or some handsome guy from his Psych class just asked for his name and number? And even called him Babe! "That was Zayn Malik, Styles" Louis interrupted Harry from his thoughts "He's an art major and he's a real fuckboy. But even tho he's a fuckboy, girls and guys dig him. They say he's a charmer" Louis explained, taking a sip of his latte "He's a airhead" Harry mumbled "Wow he came to you. He must want something from you" Louis said as Harry glared at him "He called me Babe Louis. I'm not a babe, I'm a—a guy!" Harry frantically said as Louis laughed "You mean, you're Gay, not a guy. You must not mistake those two" Louis snorted as Harry gave out a sarcastic HA HA expression "But seriously tho, Zayn rarely approaches anyone if he wants to have some good time. People are the ones who approaches Zayn first" Louis said "I don't care! I shouldn't think too much about this, I need to go to the library" Harry stood "Too early to be studying!" Louis whined "I'm not gonna study. I'm just gonna chill and read a book, I'll see you later" Harry wave a hand at Louis.Harry was about to open the door when someone opened it for him. Its a guy, wearing a black hoodie. Harry smiled politely and nodded for acknowledgement—even though he didn't see the guy's face. That's how friendly Harry is. When Harry already left the cafe, the hooded guy stared at Harry until he's no longer in sight.The Library. Harry's sanctuary, his peace, his tranquility.Harry can't imagine what his life will be without these books. Books are the only ones that can take his mind off things. He was happily reading JRR Tolkien's Lord of the rings when someone sat in front of him. Harry took a glance at that person and his green eyes widened, it's the dude who called him Babe.Harry pretended he didn't see him "I've seen that movie" Zayn said as Harry ignored him "I love Legolas' character. He's so cool with his bow and arrow. And that hair! So silky and smooth" Zayn said, hoping to get Harry's attention but Harry didn't seem to noticed that Zayn is there. Zayn bit his bottom lip, thinking real hard what else to do to get his attention.Usually, girls will be starting talking to him because he'd piqued their interest but this guy, he's hard to crack and even hard to get "So what about you? Who's your fave character?" Zayn asked with his sweet smile as Harry rolled his eyes and closed the book "You shouldn't be talking too much. This is a library" Harry said in a whisper and that made Zayn turned on. Wow, he has a sexy voice "Wow" that's all Zayn could utter as Harry looked at him with a cringe expression.Harry then stood, fix his stuff and left Zayn. And shoot! Just hearing the curly's sexy voice, Zayn is so turned on and fuck, he needs someone to bang.Harry walked fast so that the creepy, handsome dude won't follow him. Is he stalking him or something? He even followed Harry at the library. Harry groaned, his chill time is ruined because of that Hazel eyed guy. As Harry reached the dorm, Louis is there and all dressed up "Where are you going?" Harry went towards his side of the bed "Party" Louis answered "Again? And then you're going to call me to pick you up all drunk?" Harry sat on his bed "Of course, that's what you do. You babysit me" Louis grinned "I'll be at the alpha sigma—Rho house party, you know where that is...so, gonna go dude, see you later" Louis gave Harry one last smile before exiting their room.The party is located at the Alpha sigma—Rho frat.They're a well known brotherhood fraternity and most of the students respect the people who are involved in that brotherhood. Why? Because they did a lot of good deeds. The legacies have been donating a lot for the University after they graduated. And because its the start of school year, they held a party.And Louis is enjoying it very much. Zayn was also there, moping "Hey dude!" Liam, the leader of the Brotherhood and Zayn's best friend came up to him, handing him a red cup "What's up Man? This is the first time I see you mope around at a party" Liam said taking a sip of his beer "Something's bothering me Man" Zayn answered as he stared at the dancing crowd "School even barely started and yet something's bothering you?" Liam was shocked, Zayn is a carefree lad, this is a first "Well yeah. There's this one guy at my Psych class, he's a little off" Zayn said as Liam stared at him "What do you mean off?" this is interesting"Well, I tried flirting with him, gave my best smile but still, he didn't budge" Liam wanted to laugh, Zayn is bothered because his tricks of getting laid didn't work "Wow, that's a first" Liam said as Zayn agrees "I want to meet this lady, she's a fighter" Liam said "It's a He not a she" Liam's eyes widened "You got turned down by a He?! Wow, now that's intriguing" Liam smirked as Zayn sighed "I must step up my game" Zayn mumbled as Liam eyed him, there's something in Zayn's eyes that Liam has just seen now. He'd seen determination which he'd never thought he'll see in Zayn "Why are you so eager to get this guy? There are plenty out there who wants you" Liam stated "Maybe because of his green eyes" Zayn muttered "What?! because of his eyes? Zayn, are kidding me?" Liam chuckled "Hey Liam! Why aren't you dancing?" Josh, also a member of the brotherhood approached Liam and Zayn"Hey J. Our friend Zayn here is bothered by something" Liam explained "What is it Malik? Can't get laid?" Josh teased "That's right! Malik can't get a guy" Liam snickered "Who's your victim this time?" Josh asked "A green eyed, curly hair guy. One of my classmates at Psych 401" Zayn said as Josh think for a minute "Hmmmm, I don't know anyone like that" Josh then darted his eyes at the dance floor "Maybe that guy knows, he's like you Zayn. Like to bang random people that piques his interest" Josh then whistled as that Person looked at their way.Josh wave a hand, signaling him to come over.As that person approaches them, Zayn's eyes widened seeing feathery brown hair and blue eyes that shines.He know this guy!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Louis was being called by Josh.Josh and Louis are kind of friends. They met when first day of college started. Josh helped Louis find some chicks to have random hook ups with. And yep, Josh is a good negotiator when it comes to girls.Louis learned a lot from Josh and up to now, they're close "What's up Joshy? Got anything for me?" Louis excitedly smiled as he refers to people who he can bang "Nope, but I'd like to introduce you to Zayn Malik" Josh introduced as Louis looked at Zayn "I know who he is. He tried hitting on my friend" Louis answered looking at him with a serious expression "And yes, I want to know your friends Name and number" Zayn piped in. He gently pushed Josh aside, so him and Louis are face to face "Why don't you get it yourself?" Louis bantered back as Zayn scoffed "You can't can you?" Louis added with a triumphant smirk as Zayn's eyes widened because Louis is right "Well sorry Pal, my friend is a good person, nobody is allowed to mess with him, especially you" Louis said, pointing a finger at Zayn.Zayn glared at him and his hands formed into fists, who does he thinks he is?! "Wow, this is interesting" Liam barged in, sensing a catfight from the two. Liam draped his arms on Zayn and Louis "Why don't we make a bet? If Zayn will get your friend, you have to clean our bathroom for a whole week" Liam started as Louis shake his head "I'm not betting at anything" Louis answered, removing Liam's arm as he went back to the party.Liam tsked as he looked at Zayn "I guess that leaves you" Liam smiled at Zayn "If you won't be able to get the guy, you have to be our maid for the whole semester" Liam chuckled as Josh was excited.Zayn glared at Liam "But if I can?" Liam put his finger in his chin, thinking "If you can, then you win. Simple" Liam said "Nope" Zayn interjected "If I win, you'll be my maid" Zayn grinned evilly.Zayn offered his hand to Liam to shake "Deal?" Zayn asked as Liam rolled his eyes and shake Zayn's hand "Deal""Let's toast to that! Yipeeee!" Josh barged in as he raise his red cup.Zayn didn't know why he agreed on the bet. Well he guessed it was just a stupid bet and he'll definitely win. He'll seduced that Curly hair!After a few drinks later, Zayn was dancing at the crowd when he saw Louis outside the porch of the house. Zayn excused himself as he went outside to Louis and once outside, he saw him vomiting his guts out "Dude, you okay?" Zayn asked as Louis wiped his mouth "Yep! Defi—" Louis didn't even finished his sentences when he vomited again giving Zayn a cringe expression "Come on, lets use some of the brotherhood's room so that you can sleep in" Zayn offered as Louis raised his hand to Zayn "No, I've got this" Louis fetched his phone "Who you gonna drunk dial?" Zayn snickered as Louis glared at Him while putting his phone on his ear "Hey Harreh! Its me Louieh! You see, I'm kind of a— wait, you're on your way over here? Okay cool" Louis put back his phone on his pockets and sat on the stairs "I'm just gonna wait here for my friend" Louis drunkly said.Zayn stayed with Louis. He didn't know why but he just want to make sure that this guy won't do anything stupid. Like, running around the streets and gets hit by a truck or something.But seeing Louis, past out at the stairs, Zayn scoffed "This guy can't hold his alcohol" Zayn mumbled as he tried waking him up and no matter how hard Zayn pokes him, he won't wake up. Zayn gently kicked him on his shoulder but Louis is deadly asleep. Minutes later, a cab stopped in front of the house as Zayn looked who got out. The streetlights were not working so Zayn couldn't see who got out of the cab not until he got near Zayn "This is a whole new level of drunk" the guy said and hearing the guy's voice, he felt this familiarity. He heard that voice before! That sexy and has a slow speech patterned kind of voice! When the guy's face is already seen in the light, Zayn gasped and his eyes can't stop staring at the green eyed curly.Harry stared at Zayn and his eyes widened seeing the hazel eyed beauty "You again?!" Harry hissed as Zayn gave an awkward smile. He should be giving him a flirtatious one but it turned out to be awkward instead.Harry ignored Zayn as grabbed Louis' hand and pulled him up, but he was too heavy "Here, let me help" Zayn said as he grabbed Louis free hand and supported Louis' back as Zayn pulled him up. Louis' arms are now draping both on Harry and Zayn's shoulders "I'm gonna holler us a cab" Harry said "Wait, I have a car, I could take you" Zayn piped in and this is a good way to make a move at Harry.Zayn will win the bet now! "No thank you, we'll take the cab. I'm sure there's plenty" Harry sternly said, he's really so hard to get! "You think you can carry him by yourself to where you're staying?" Zayn asked as Harry opened his mouth to answer but closed it again—this bastard is right! Harry can't carry Louis' weight alone "Fine! Where's your car?"Zayn triumphantly smiled, he'll get this curly now!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn helped Harry and Louis inside his car. It's a black Audi truck and Zayn got it from his stepdad on his 19th birthday.They settled Louis at the back of the truck as Harry sat at the front seat.It was one quiet ride, neither one of them are talking. Zayn tapped his fingers on the wheel as he took glances at Harry and at the same time, composing himself to talk first "So you could just point out where you live" Zayn finally spoke as Harry just nodded. He's not saying anything "So, wanna put on some tunes?" Zayn asked as Harry stared at him in poker face, god, he's not buying his moves at all! "Nope, silence is good" Harry answered as he looked at the lamp posts on the street.Zayn gripped the stirring wheel hard—calm down Zayn, don't let anger eat you up or you'll lose the bet. Zayn took a deep breath, controlling himself on getting pissed off since this guy's playing hard to get. Instead of exploding, Zayn gave out a smile "You could at least tell me your name?" Zayn crookedly smile as Harry pretended he didn't hear what he said.Zayn's getting frustrated! What is his deal anyway?! Why isn't he captivated by his charm?! He wanted to throw him out of his truck.And Zayn regretted that he agreed on that stupid bet "Why are you so eager to know my name?" Harry finally spoke as Zayn's body jolted hearing him speak "Uh, for companionship?" Zayn answered and he mentally face palmed, that's a stupid answer "Yeah for "Companionship" That's not the way I see it when you asked me at Psych class" Harry slap him the truth "Sorry, I got a little lost in your eyes at that moment when I asked for your name" Zayn flirtatiously smiled as Harry gave him a cringe expression "Eww" Harry simply said as Zayn didn't expected that "Just, pull over here, that's where we are staying" Harry pointed at a tall grey building which is their dorm.As soon as Zayn stopped the car, Harry unbuckle the seatbelt as he got off and went to open the backdoor of the truck "Keep calm Zayn, keep calm. You'll get him" Zayn inhale—exhaled as he got off his truck and helped Harry.They carried Louis inside the dorm and they both put Louis on his bed as Harry immediately took off Louis' shoes and socks. Zayn was watching him taking care of Louis and his heart melted seeing how caring Harry is. After taking care of Louis, he tuck him to bed.As Harry turned around and almost jumping seeing Zayn, leaning his side on the door frame "Oh you're still here" Harry said with a fright as he put his hand on his chest "You're pretty close to each other huh?" Zayn said out of the blue "Well, He is my best friend since high school so, yeah" Harry said as he put away Louis' shoes and socks.After that, he went back talking to Zayn "Thank you for the help" Harry smiled, and that gave Zayn a little thumped on his heart. He has this beautiful smile that melts Zayn and he even has dimples! He must know this Guy's name asap! "Do you want to grab some coffee?" Zayn asked as Harry raised his brow "You're just gonna keep bugging me about my name aren't you?"Bingo!"No! Of course not" Zayn nervously chuckled "Just want to have a coffee with you, so will you go?" Zayn continued as Harry shrugged "Okay"As Harry agrees, Zayn can't stop smiling as he drove them to the Coffee shop where his friend Niall works.Zayn told Harry that they have the best latte in the whole city and Harry wanted to try and get some proof if it is really the best latte "Oooooh it is delicious" Harry said as Niall grinned "Of course! I'm the best!" Niall boast "Thank you for this Niall" Harry said as Niall nodded and went back to the counter.Niall is the barista of the coffee shop and when Zayn and Harry entered the shop, Niall's eyes lit up and he and Harry instantly clicked. They even got to know each other first while Zayn's waiting for Curly to tell his name.Harry eyed the place, its so serene with the walls painted in pastel blue and has designs of different kinds of flowers "This place is great" Harry said as Zayn agrees "Actually, I did some painting here too" Zayn said as he put his cup on the table "You did?!" Harry responded as he looked at the walls "Which one?" Harry asked "That one, the sunflower" Zayn pointed as Harry stood and examined the sunflower.Wow, the artistry is so beautiful. The sunflower looked like a 3D painting. Harry ran his fingers to the painting and after that, he went back to his seat "Wow, your painting is beautiful" Harry smiled as he took a sip of his latte.Zayn's a bit surprised, he never thought that Harry will appreciate his art. Not everyone appreciate what he does. Zayn cleared his throat "Thanks" Zayn said as Harry looked at him "What was that" Harry chuckled as Zayn looked at him with confusion "What?""It took minutes before you said thanks" Harry said "Were you thinking if you should say Thank you or brag about your work?" Harry added as Zayn snorted "No, I meant to say Thanks" Zayn responded.And it's weird that Zayn is actually enjoying talking to this guy—his next victim. Usually Zayn would just get the number, set a place to have sex with and its done. Everything is different with this guy, he hadn't got his name yet! This is taking forever! "So, what's your major?" Zayn asked casually as Harry raised a brow "So you're interested in my major now and not my name?" Harry teased as Zayn wants to give up! This guy is playing with him too! "So if I asked you a question, you won't answer me then?" Zayn asked that gave out a chuckle from Harry "I'm an accounting major" Harry finally answered as he slowly spins the cup "I love numbers and analytics so, yeah. How about you?" Harry looked at Zayn "Art Major, you can see why" Zayn said as Harry tilted his head to the side, confused "Why?""Because I am art" Zayn playfully wiggled his eyebrows as Harry snorted that turned into laughter. Zayn then laughed with Harry and for the first time, Zayn forgot about his goal and the bet. All he could think about is him and this curly, having fun together.After the cafe, Zayn took Harry back at his dorm. It was one another quiet ride but this time, it wasn't awkward. Maybe because they got bonded at the cafe.As they've reached the dorm, Zayn stopped the engine as Harry got off the truck and shut the door. Zayn lowered the window from Harry's side as Harry smiled at Zayn outside the door "Thank you for the coffee" Harry said as Zayn smiled "No problem" he wave a hand at Harry "I'll go now" Zayn added as Harry nodded.Harry stepped away from the truck as Zayn started its engine. Zayn bid Harry one last goodbye and was about to drive away when Harry went closer and leaned in to the door "My Names Harry, Harry Styles" Harry said as Zayn eyes widened—He just gave him his name! Finally! "Names Zayn Malik" Zayn grinned as Harry nodded "Good. See you at Uni!" Harry wave a hand as Zayn drove off.Zayn's so happy, he finally know the curly's name!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The next morning, Louis' head is aching.When he opened his eyes, he saw a banana and a coffee on his bedside table. Harry is the best, he knows what Louis needs.Harry was at the library. He wanted to catch up on Lord of the rings since Zayn interrupted him yesterday.Zayn, Harry smiled just thinking of his name. Louis said he's a fuckboy so, Harry shouldn't think too much of him. But his time with Zayn last night at the coffee shop, Zayn was fun to be with and he opens up a lot. He told Harry about his life, or at least, little of his life. Maybe that's what fuckboys are. They open up to you just to get you to bed.Harry sighed "Not gonna happen" Harry mumbled as he continue to read. After reading, he went back to the dorm and saw Louis still in bed. Harry sat beside Louis "You're still hangover?" Louis nodded With a pout as Harry smack his head "Ow?!" Louis scratch his head where Harry smacked "And I told you to stop drinking too much because you can't handle your alcohol" Harry lectured as Louis rolled his eyes "Blah blah, you're like my mom Harry" Louis then kicked Harry out of his bed as Harry stood "I should be because I'm always the one who babysits you when you're drunk, just like last night" Harry scoffed as Louis smiled "Thank you for last night Harry" Louis said sweetly as Harry shake his head and playfully rolled his eyes "Actually I couldn't remember you bringing me back here. I was too drunk to remember""You've blacked out, Zayn helped me carry you" Harry said straightforward as Louis gasped "You're with Zayn? The Zayn Malik the fuckboy?!" Harry slowly nodded his head "We didn't do anything last night Louis. He just helped me carry you here that's all" Harry explained as Louis looked at him with suspicion "Are you sure that's all?" Harry rubbed the back of his neck "Well, we might have gone to get coffee" Harry softly responded as Louis screeched "He's getting into you Harry! First, he'll ask you for coffee and then the next, he'll make you fall for him and then, get you in bed and the next, he'll left you hanging!" Louis exaggerated "We just had one coffee, its not like he'd ask me out" Harry said as Louis sighed "You're right. He didn't—" Louis took a deep breath "and when he does, decline him. He's a douchebag who'll just mess with your feelings. And I don't want you to get hurt" Louis advised as Harry laughed "Of course I won't. Its not like, he wants me""I want him" Zayn said back at the frat house's kitchen with Liam and Josh.His night with Harry had been amazing and he wants to see him again, and when a get chance, get him in bed. Liam stares at him and handed him coffee "I think my tricks are working. He already gave me his name" Zayn said as Liam nodded and sat across Zayn "Harry Styles, accounting major. He loves numbers and analytics. Oh! He also said that my sunflower painting was beautiful" Zayn brags as Josh yawned, not hearing a thing because he's too hangover and Liam well, he sees something in Zayn's eyes that's not there before—genuine happiness "You know, we could cut off the bet, it's petty anyway" Liam suggested "No! The bet is still on! I'm not a chicken to back out" Zayn said.Liam was hoping that Zayn would just let go of the bet since it was a childish game. And Liam concluded that Zayn will definitely lose.After breakfast, Zayn went to his classes until afternoon and after his classes, he bumped unto Louis on his way to the canteen "Hey Louis!" Zayn greeted as Louis looks at him and seeing that the Zayn Malik called him, he glared at him "What did you do to Harry last night?!" Louis defensively asked "Wow, easy now. I didn't do anything" Zayn said as Louis can't stop glaring at him and even eyeing him from top to bottom "Stay away from him!" Louis warned as Zayn laughed "What if your friend is the one who can't stay away from me?" Zayn teased as he gave a smirk and raised his brows "We were almost getting into bed last night but we didn't since you were there" Zayn whispery said as Louis growled, Zayn just triggered his over protective best friend mode.Louis didn't think twice when he formed his hands into fists and began to take a swing at Zayn, hitting him on his jaw. Zayn's body went down on the cement ground as the people at the canteen gasped seeing Louis who keeps on punching Zayn in his face. Wow, for a little guy, Louis can punch "You bastard! Stay—" punch "—away—" punch "—from Harry!" And another punch.Harry just got back from the library.He is going to the canteen to meet up with Louis and when he reached the canteen, people are crowding the place, what's happening? Harry peeked through and saw Louis, and Harry's eyes widened seeing him beating someone! Harry immediately excused himself to the crowd and when he's at the scene, Harry gasped seeing Zayn getting punched by Louis "Lou! stop it!" Harry shouted as he grabbed Louis by his waist and forcefully pulled him away from Zayn.Louis and Harry fell from the ground as Zayn slowly sat and wiped his blooded nose and mouth "What the hell Louis?!" Harry hissed as he pushed Louis off and stood followed by Louis who stood and glared at Zayn "I hate his face" Louis growled as Harry blocked Louis' body from Zayn. Harry looks down at Zayn as he offered his hand to Zayn as Zayn took it and Harry helped him up "What the hell Happened Malik?" Harry asked once they're face to face "I was just teasing him, he got beast mode" Zayn explained as he wiped the blood off his nose "You're a bloody prick!" Louis shouted behind Harry and he was reaching out to give another punch at Zayn but Harry stopped him. Harry spun around and looks at Louis' blue eyes "Louis, stop. Okay? Go back to the dorm" Harry said "I'm not leaving with you that Idiot!" Louis protested "Louis, calm down okay? I'll see you back at the dorm" Harry said as patted Louis' shoulder. Louis tsked and didn't argued with Harry. And before leaving, he gave Zayn a warning glare.Harry sighed as he face Zayn again "Lets get you to a hospital" Harry said as Zayn shake his head "I got first aid on my car, I'll deal with this" Zayn picked up his bag and began to walk when— "I'll help you" Zayn stopped walking when he heard Harry. He was shock to hearing those words from Harry. This is not part of the plan, but it is working. Zayn mentally gave a triumphant smile as he looked back at Harry and smiled "SURE"
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry grabbed the cotton balls and put a little alcohol on it. He's at Zayn's truck now tending to his wounds from Louis' punches.He gently dabbed the cotton balls on Zayn's face "What exactly happened that Louis hit you this hard?" Harry asked as Zayn stares at him, he's so close his face that he could smell Harry's fresh breath "Nothing" Zayn answered with a shrug "This is not nothing" Harry said as he changed the cotton balls. He dabbed another cotton on Zayn's bruised face.Zayn's in awe as he can feel how gentle Harry is. The way his hand moves, he can feel that he has a very delicate hand. Or where Zayn brought back what he said as Harry intentionally pressed the cotton hardly on his face "Ow, not too hard" Zayn hissed as Harry smiled a little "Sorry" Harry whispered "So you're enjoying this huh?" Zayn asked as Harry looks at him "I am not!" Harry protested, suppressing his giggle "You are, aren't you? You like to see me get all punched up" Zayn said as Harry stopped dabbing the cotton and stared at Zayn for a while and then he laughed "Sorry! I was just—" more laughter "—maybe you deserve this" Harry said as his laughter slowly dies down "How so? I didn't do anything to your friend. He attacked me first" Zayn argued "Well yeah, but you deserved this after playing with the feelings of all the people you messed with" Harry said and again, a slap of truth.Zayn cleared his throat. He didn't know what to say.Usually he has a banter when topics are like this but when Harry was the one saying it, he was speechless "Let me cover your bruise with gauze" Harry said as he put the gauze on his cheek. Harry's hands are so gentle and Zayn can say that he's a caring person—A very caring person "Okay, you're all patched up" Harry smiled as he fix the first aid kit "Thank you, Harry" Zayn said in a low tone as Harry smiled with his teeth out "You're welcome" And with Harry's smile, Zayn's heart flutters—again! What is this?! He was feeling this since last night! He feels like something's inside his stomach is flopping their wings and its giving him a giddy feeling "I'll be the one to apologize for Louis, sorry for beating you" Harry said as Zayn stared at Harry.This beautiful and caring man has the most greenest eyes he'd ever seen and those smile, he looks beautiful with his white pearly teeth and his dimples. As Zayn realizes he's staring too much, he shake his head, did he just examined Harry's face? He never do that! Like ever! But with Harry, why everything changes?"So I guess I'll go now" Harry awkwardly said as he put the first aid kit at the comparment and held the handle to the door "Wait, I'll take you to your dorm" Zayn barged in and insisted as Harry looks at him and gave a smile "Okay, thanks"The ride back to the dorm was as usual, quiet.Harry was just looking at the lamp posts....again as Zayn is focusing on the road "Wanna listen to some tunes?" Zayn asked as Harry looks at him and nodded "Sure, what do you have?" Harry asked as Zayn's heart flutters again, oh boy "Uhm, I have my mix tape, wanna listen?" Zayn said as he told Harry where he places his flash drive. As soon as Harry has the flash drive, he plugged it on the console and within a minute, Harry can hear a familiar voice singing *insert Zayn's I'm a fool for you* Harry listened to the song, his eyes widened realizing the voice belongs to Zayn "You made this?" Harry excitedly asked as Zayn nodded "Wow, you have a great voice" Harry complemented as Zayn's heart started beat like crazy!This is not a feeling of liking someone right?"Wow, you're so brilliant. I write songs too but only when I'm bored" Harry shared "Really? Awesome. Want to share it with me? Since, I've shared one of my secrets to you" Zayn smiled "So your mix tape is your secret?" Zayn nodded "I've never shared that to anyone" Zayn honestly said "Why did you shared it with me?" Harry asked as Zayn was speechless again. Yeah, why did he shared the mix tape to Harry? He'd never shared this with anyone, even to Liam. But with Harry, he wanted him to know more about him. Harry stares at Zayn, waiting for his reply "So? Why did you share it with me?" Harry asked again as Zayn shrugged "Whatever, its just a song" Zayn answered as both of them got quiet again.As they've reached Harry's dorm, Harry face Zayn and gave a smile "Thanks for the lift Zayn" Harry said as he held the handl of the door "Don't forget to cure those bruises" Harry added as he opened the door and got off the truck. Zayn lowered down the window for him to see Harry.Harry wave a hand "Bye" Zayn said with a smiley face and even said "Good night" as Harry gave him a sweet smile and nodded his head. Zayn started its engine and started to drove off as Harry watches him but the truck stop midway. Harry was confused, why did it stopped? Then Zayn's truck backed up and back to where it was before. Zayn peeked his head to the window and look at Harry "Do you want to go with me to the University acquaintance party?" Zayn shyly asked and he is literally sweating from being shy. Harry gave him a confusing look "I mean, it's okay if you won't. You'll probably busy or whatever—""Sure" Harry answered smiling as Zayn can't believe it! He just said yes "We'll go as friends" Harry added as Zayn awkwardly laugh "Yeah, sure, friends" Zayn then smiled as he wave a hand and slowly pulled the window up. Harry wave a hand as Zayn finally drove off.Zayn can't hide his smile.Harry just agreed to go with him on the Party but as friends. It's okay though, at least he'll get to spend his time with Harry and that's the only thing that matters.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn is waiting for Harry outside his dorm, leaning his back on his truck.They'll be going together to the University Acquaintance party and Zayn doesn't know why he's excited.Is it because maybe tonight, he'll get to taste Harry—in bed? Zayn doesn't know that yet, all he know is that he has one goal, to get Harry in bed and to win Liam's bet. Zayn laugh at the thought of Liam being Zayn's maid. He could do all he want."Why are you smiling?" Zayn almost jumped, Harry popped out of nowhere and Zayn didn't even noticed that he was smiling "Nothing, are you all set?" Zayn looked at Harry and his eyes widene and his heart started to palpitate seeing how sexy he looked—even tho he's only wearing a white plain shirt and tight jeans "Yep, all set. Lets go?" Harry smiled as Zayn can't stop ogling at him. Harry gave him a look and seeing Zayn wasn't responding, Harry snapped his fingers in front of Zayn's face and that brought Zayn back to reality "Ha? What?" Zayn said as Harry chuckled "I'm all set! How about you? Are you okay?" Harry questioned as Zayn gave an awkward smile and nodded. He went towards the and opened the door for Harry "Why, thank you Mr Malik" Harry teased as Zayn gave a faint chuckle.After letting Harry inside and closing the door, Zayn took a deep breath and inhaled and exhaled "Get yourself together man! This is just Harry!" Zayn mumbled to himself as went to the driver's seat. Upon closing the door, Zayn put on his seatbelt and he looks at Harry "Seatbelt please" Zayn said as Harry grabbed the belt but he can't seem to pull it. Harry forcefully pulled the seatbelt but it won't elongate "Let me" Zayn said as he took off his seatbelt and leaned in to Harry.Harry's breathing hitches when Zayn suddenly leaned in, their noses almost bumped. Harry can smell Zayn's expensive cologne and damn, he smelt so good. Zayn then smiled, this is not part of the plan but Zayn likes it.Zayn then pulled the seatbelt and locked it. He then looked at Harry's face—they are so close to each other, the tip of their noses bump as Harry's green eyes widened. Harry gulped as he stared at Zayn's pink lips. Harry's heart started to beat fast and he feels like fainting! Seeing Zayn this close, his heart feels like exploding! While Zayn, seeing Harry's pink and luscious lips, he licked his own lips as he can't stop staring at Harry's lips, so plump, so pink. Zayn then leaned in even closer as he closed his eyes ready to kiss Harry when Harry cleared his throat, breaking Zayn from kissing him. Zayn opened his eyes and blinked. He stares at Harry who's now feeling awkward "Thank you, Zayn" Harry said referring to buckling his seatbelt. Zayn slowly backed away as he went back to his seat and gave an awkward smile "Yeah sure..." Zayn answered in his soft tone of his voice. Fuck they were about to kiss!Harry is now sweating and his heart is like bursting out of his chest! They were about to kiss and Harry is not yet ready for it "Uh yeah, we're all set" Zayn said as he put his seatbelt on again as he started the engine. Zayn's heart just can't stop beating fast! This is not new to Zayn but why does he feels it is?Zayn can't help but to take glances at Harry. Fuck, he really is beautiful with his silky curly hair, chiseled jaw, pointy nose and that smooth and porcelain skin, he wanted to touch him. As Zayn was staring, Harry sensed it so he looked at him too "Yes?" Harry blinked a couple of times, wondering why Zayn is staring. As soon as their eyes met, Zayn's body jolted as he slightly panic. He looked ahead, looking at the road "Uh, nothing. Let's go" Zayn responded as he started to drive.Harry and Zayn made it to the University football grounds. As Harry stepped out of Zayn's car, he smiled "Wow, I've never thought that this is fun" Harry said looking at the colored lights dancing around the whole field and he can hear techno-disco music playing. Zayn was amused tho, Harry's so cute "Come on" Harry then take hold of Zayn's wrist as Zayn's entire being wanted to explode! He felt Harry's warm hand and he can't help but to feel all giddy! Zayn stares at Harry as Harry was smiling fully at him. He didn't say a word as he pulled Zayn towards the field.The music's blaring and the crowd are dancing.Harry's eyes sparkles seeing different colored lights and people having fun "Never thought this is fun" Harry yelled at Zayn's ears because they can't hear each other of too much music. Zayn looks at him confusedly "What? You've never been to a party before?" Zayn asked half yelling as Harry smiled and shake his head "I'm not a party goer" Harry giggled as Zayn was again, amused.Harry is very different from all Zayn's victims.He's innocent and pure.Harry started to sway from the music. He moved his hips and shoulders and started to dance at the beat. And for Zayn, he was stunned on how sexy Harry moves "Dance!" Harry happily shouted as Zayn started to move his shoulders to the beat just enjoying his time with Harry. After Dancing, Harry and Zayn went to the food station as they eat their dinner, or more like picka foods "Zaynie!" Zayn spun around and saw Josh approaching him with Liam. Zayn grinned seeing his friends, good that they're here, it's time to show off Harry "Josh! Liam! Hey!" Zayn gave them fist bumps "I thought you're not attending?" Zayn was talking to Liam "Meh, I got bored so why not?" Liam chuckled.Then Liam's eyes landed on Harry. Liam is 100% straight but seeing Harry, Liam can't deny that he is a fine man. No wonder Zayn wanted him.Zayn notices that Liam was looking at Harry "Harry, this is Liam and Josh, my best-friends" Zayn introduced as Liam smiled and offer his hand for Harry to shake. Harry was holding cups—for him and Zayn, so he panicked where to put them "Let me hold it for you" Zayn grabbed the cups as Harry thanked him, wiped his palms oh his jeans and shake Liam's hand "Nice meeting you" Harry gave out a toothy smile "He is hot" Josh mouthed at Zayn as Zayn kicked him on his knees "Ow!" Josh screamed as Harry looked at him with a shock expression. Zayn pretended to laugh "Ha Ha look at that, I think he needs to go to the first aid station, Liam, please take him?" Zayn's eyes pleaded to Liam and pleading to take Josh away as Liam understood. Liam gave a nod as he looks at Harry again "Nice meeting you Harry" Liam said as Harry smiled and wave a hand.After eating and drinking, Zayn is getting bored and wants to be alone with Harry "Hey, want to get out of here?" Harry looked at Zayn with a questionable look "Why?" Harry is so naive. Its cute.Usually Zayn would invite him back at his apartment but Zayn didn't. He had another idea in mind."Come with me" Zayn smiled as Harry thought for a minute, what if Zayn will take him somewhere unknown? What if he'll do something a fuckboy would do? Like, cornering Harry and steal his virginity? But Zayn is not a rapist, he's just a fuckboy. Harry knows what he's doing and if Zayn will try to pull some stupid move, Harry will kick his ass "Okay, lets go" Harry smiled.They went inside the car as Zayn drove them somewhere not familiar to Harry. Okay, maybe Zayn is a fuckboy and serial killer? He's taking Harry out of the city.Relax Harry, have a little trust.Zayn was just quiet all throughout the ride. The truth is, Zayn is thinking if he's doing the right thing? Taking Harry to his quiet place? He didn't think when he invited Harry over. He can't back out now, they're already here. Zayn's car stopped as Harry roamed his eyes, where are they? "Come on" Zayn said as unbuckle his seatbelt and got out of the car. Harry followed. He got out of the car and followed Zayn, trailing behind him.After minutes of walking, Zayn stopped "Tada!" Zayn smiled as he showed Harry the whole city. They're at a cliff that's overlooking to the whole city!And right there, Harry's heart flutters for Zayn Malik.//A/N: aaahhhhh the almost kiss! I mean— I almost jumped, I really thought they'll kiss. LOLthank you guys for the reads and votes! You guys are the best!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry and Zayn sat at the hood of Zayn's car, looking at the beautiful lights of the city "Wow, how did you find this place?" Harry asked as Zayn shrugged "Well, I was wandering one day and I found this cliff" Zayn simply said as Harry chuckled "I don't believe you" Harry snorted "It's true" Zayn protested "You know, you can't find a place unexpectedly. I bet this place is special to you?" Harry asked as he laid out his palms and leaned on the hood "Uhm, once" Zayn rubbed the back of his neck.Harry sat straight "Once? Really? Tell me about it" Zayn looked at Harry "I'm not gonna tell you" Zayn smirked "No fair. You brought me here but won't tell me why" Harry pouted as Zayn's heart flutters again, he's so cute.Harry then smiled "Lets make a promise then" Harry excitedly said "A promise?""Yes! I promise I won't tell anyone about this place and why this is special" Harry grinned as Zayn stared at Harry.Harry then raised his pinky finger, showing it to Zayn. Zayn stares at his eyes before looking at Harry's pinky finger "Okay..." Zayn awkwardly said as he raised his pinky finger and loop it with Harry "Pinky promise" Zayn smiled as Harry pinky swear with Zayn."Now that we've pinky promised, you can tell me why this place is special to you..." Harry grinned as Zayn responded with a soft smile. Before telling Harry the history, he composed himself, taking deep breaths. After that, he sighed "This was a place were I took my ex girlfriend" Harry's ears perked hearing Zayn telling about his ex girlfriend "Yeah, impossible right?" Zayn slightly chuckled giving a shrug "So, I met her at high school. We were prom king and Queen and after prom, I took her here. We talked about our future together, life after college and such and then, college happened. Long distance relationship doesn't really work. I was loyal and faithful until one day, I surprised visit her at her Uni and guess what, I caught—" Zayn faintly chuckled "—I caught her tonsil hocking some guy. I let her explain and she said she loves me and also loves the guy" Zayn inhaled, exhaled "The best part was, she even asked me if I want to join them, like a threesome" Harry stared at Zayn and seeing how his eyes are sad remembering the past, made Harry realize that maybe he became a fuckboy because he got hurt badly. He got his heart broken that he can't put up the pieces together."And yeah, after that, I didn't have serious relationships since it just proves that no matter how loyal and faithful you are, you still ended up getting hurt" Zayn sadly smiled, this is the first time that he opened up to someone. Never in Zayn's life he'd thought he will tell someone about his past."The mix tape" Harry spoke "Is the song for her?" Harry asked in a low tone as Zayn nodded "Well yeah, After I found out about her cheating, I was still hoping that she'll come back to me since, I loved her so much. That's why I wrote the song, I was fool thinking that everything will be alright. I guess the only silver lining to this was, she got pregnant and thankfully, I wasn't the father" Zayn looked around and spread his arms in the air "And this place, I made this place my sanctuary. Like, I go here if I need to think or just chill. Watching the city lights" Zayn put down his arms and heavily sighed "Now, you pinky swear never to tell anyone right?" Zayn asked as Harry smiled and nodded "I won't tell, I promise" Harry never thought that Zayn will open up to him.Zayn is a fuckboy but deep down, he has good in him. He fell in love and became loyal and faithful and Harry's heart had gone soft because Zayn's a good man deep down.Harry stared at Zayn, examining his face. He has this thick eyebrows, thick like his long lashes, he has a pointy nose and those pink lips. Also, Zayn looked good having those tattoos, in fact he looked sexy.Zayn caught Harry staring "What?" Zayn raised a brow as Harry cleared his throat and averted his gaze "Nothing" Harry mumbled "So, how about you, got any secrets to tell me?" Zayn stared at Harry as Harry bit his bottom lip, thinking "Well, I think I'm an open book" Harry grinned "Are you sure there's nothing you gotta tell me?" Zayn insisted as Harry stared at him for a while.Harry then sighed "I'm gay?" Harry said as she shrugged his shoulders. Zayn wasn't that shock but he was a little bit taken aback since he thought Harry was straight or bisexual. Zayn smiled, he's gay so there's a big chance he'll win the bet, and get him to bed "Huh, gay? Like, gay for only one person or gay that you like boys—boys?" Zayn asked as Harry playfully rolled his eyes "I'm gay—gay Zayn. I like boys, not girls. And—I'm uh—" Harry cleared his throat "What is it?" Zayn asked as he gently moved beside Harry "Well Uh, I'm still single" Harry softly spoke "Well yeah I know—""Single since birth" Harry quickly added.Zayn got quiet for a while as Harry is not looking at him, like he's ashamed? But somehow, Harry being single since birth, Zayn find it cute.Harry is pure and innocent."Hey—" Zayn gently bumped his shoulder to Harry "You could laugh now" Harry muttered as Zayn's heart flutters, he can't take this overloaded cuteness!"I won't. So what? Right? It's not a harm that you've been single for a very long time" Zayn said as Harry looks at him "And don't ever think that something's wrong with you just because you're single. There's definitely nothing wrong with you. In fact, they're missing a lot from you" Zayn smiled—a genuine one.Harry blushes from Zayn's words "Harry, I find you—" Zayn cleared his throat, he was about to confess, one of his tricks to get a person to bed but why is he suddenly feel all shy and nervous?! "—I find you attractive Harry, very much attractive" Zayn said as Harry's heart thumped, oh no! Don't be affected Harry! Remember what Louis said, he's a fuckboy! Even though Harry admitted that Zayn's a good man deep down but we'll never know, he might get played!Harry just stared at Zayn, thinking what to say but Zayn was the one who acted first, he slowly moved his hand, beside Harry's as Zayn slowly crept his pinky to Harry's pinky and he looked at Harry, getting his reaction. He seems not bothered by his action so Zayn slowly take hold of Harry's pinky and creep his whole hand to Harry's that they're now holding hands.And upon feeling Zayn's hand on his, Harry's heart flutters and he feels like, there are butterflies in his stomach. Zayn also feels the same way and both of them can't help but to feel this giddiness. Zayn cleared his throat and fixed his gaze at Harry, who's looking away but not removing his hand from Zayn "Harry, if you'd like, we could take things slow?" Zayn asked as Harry's head slowly turns to Zayn and his green eyes stared at Zayn's hazel ones "Take things slow?" Harry asked, confused.Zayn smiled "Take things slow until you'll like me. Like how I like you now" Zayn responded as Harry's heart wanted to burst out of his chest!As for Zayn, he didn't know why he said those words, he just did. He never felt this feelings before. The feeling of not rushing things with someone. And looking at Harry, he wanted to get to know him better. And that night, Zayn forgot everything, on wanting to take Harry to bed and Liam's bet.All he could think was: Harry deserves something better than just being a one night stand.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
After Zayn confessed that he likes Harry, they've been opening up more of their life to each other.Zayn told Harry about his family. Zayn has a sibling and they're very close to each other. Harry told Zayn about his Mom and sister. Harry loves to take Zayn to his home someday so that his Mom and sister will know him. And for the first time....in Zayn's fuckboy life, he's contented just talking and getting to know Harry more than bringing him to bed.Zayn and Harry took things slow.After Zayn's classes, he would wait for Harry and asked him to eat out or just hang out. Zayn adjusted his life for Harry. Zayn usually go on parties every night but he's with Harry now so, no parties every night, just books, movies and chill and Zayn loves the feeling that he's always with Harry.As for Harry, Zayn is making him fall in love with him. Harry would sometimes wonder if Zayn is just making all these effort to get Harry in bed but, as time passes by, Zayn has been different. If he has classes and can't fetch Harry, he would leave something for Harry like, a stuffed animal and Zayn would say 'So that you'll have company' Harry would sometimes giggle because of too much romantic feelings that Zayn gives. Zayn also efforts on giving Harry sunflowers, chocolates or buying him a new books. Harry is glad that Zayn is slowly changing but he can't still erase the thought that Zayn is just messing with him. But Harry took a leap of faith as he take a chance on Zayn.Months passed as Harry invited Zayn to dinner.Zayn wonders why because Harry never invited him to dinner, it's always Zayn.So Zayn wore his white shirt, jeans and his leather jacket as he looks at himself on his wide mirror from his bedroom "Ooooh look at that" Zayn's entire body jumped hearing Liam who went inside Zayn's room at his apartment. Zayn spun around and looked at Liam with a shock expression "Liam! What are you doing here?!" Liam raised both his hands for surrender "Chill dude! It's movie night, remember?" Liam raised a brow as Zayn forgot, oh shoot! "And judging from your look, it's not movie night" Liam stated as Zayn sighed "Sorry Man, I just forgot" Liam nodded "That's cool. Now tell me where are you going?" Zayn was taken aback by his question.He'd never told Liam that Harry and him are kind of a dating? Harry and him are taking things slow and its going on for months now.Zayn didn't know why he didn't told Liam. Maybe because he's in denial that he's slowly falling in love with Harry Styles. Yes, he's slowly falling in love and not get-that-person-to-bed love but love, love that he's contented just talking about how Harry's day went or talking about his past "You see, I have a date tonight" Zayn said as Liam are all ears "That's weird. I thought you don't do dates?" Liam smirked "Well you see, things have change, I think" Zayn cleared his throat, why is it awkward to tell Liam that he and Harry are dating?!"Oh okay, so, you're dateable Zayn Malik now? Huh, who's this person?" Liam asked "Harry Styles" Zayn simply said. Liam's eyes widened "Still?! The Harry Styles?!" Liam is shocked. Zayn slowly nodded his head "Wow, who would've thought that a guy like Harry Styles gets to change Zayn Malik, a fuckboy" Liam chuckled "Shut up" Zayn muttered "No worries man, I guess you're close to winning the bet then?" Liam pointed out as Zayn almost forgot about the bet "You know what, forget about the bet. It was a petty bet anyway" Zayn said as Liam smiled "Yeah, well, I'm glad that you're finally enjoying your love life, like literally and genuinely enjoying" Liam patted Zayn's back as Zayn smiled "Thanks Man. I gotta go! I'll see ya, close up the apartment" Zayn took one last look on the mirror as he exited his apartment.And for Liam, he's glad that his friend is enjoying his time with Harry. Sure Zayn cut off the bet but, Liam still knows that Zayn will lose.______________________________Harry is waiting outside his dorm. Zayn said he'll be picking him up. Harry is nervous though, he's hands are shaking and his heart is beating like crazy. He really hopes he's making the right decision.Zayn's truck stopped as Harry smiled. He went towards the passenger's side as the windows rolled down. Harry's looks at Zayn with a big smile on his face "Get in" Zayn said as Harry nodded and opened the door. He hopped inside the truck and after that, closes the door.For the past months, Harry had been a lot open to Zayn. He'd been telling him about his life when he was little and also told him about his family. Zayn also opened up, a little about his family and a lot about his self. And Harry could see that Zayn is serious about Him.They've been going out almost everyday and Zayn didn't pushed Harry to do what he doesn't like to do. They hadn't kiss yet and every time they hang out, Zayn would sometimes hesitate to hold Harry's hand, maybe because he doesn't want Harry to get angry or such. But for Harry, he's waiting for Zayn to hold his hand first but so far, Zayn didn't and that made Harry thought Zayn changed so much because he respects him.Harry really hope he won't regret his decision.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry took Zayn to a restaurant near the cafe where Niall works. Harry is so nervous that his palms got sweaty.Zayn stared at Harry, he noticed that he's not his usual self "What's wrong?" Zayn propped his elbow on the table "Nothing?" Harry answered and that Zayn gave more suspicion "Looks like you're panicking inside" Zayn raised a brow at Harry as he gulped and gave out a small smile "I'm fine. Let's or—order" Harry said as he grabbed the menu with trembling hands "Seriously Harry, what's wrong with you? You looked nervous or something" Zayn is now worried as Harry awkwardly smiled "I'm fine Zayn, let's just take our orders" Harry gave out a force smile.Zayn stared at Harry, wondering what's wrong with him. The waiter came and get their orders. After that, Harry's feet are shaking, he just can't shake off the feeling that he's doing it! Their food arrived as they ate in silence "So, how was your day?" Zayn asked smiling as Harry closed his mouth and didn't answer—seriously, what's his deal?!"Talk to me Harry, you're giving me the silent treatment" Zayn said as Harry didn't even looked at him. He sip his soup and not giving a damn about Zayn.Zayn groaned from the frustration "What the hell is wrong with you Harry?" Zayn almost shouted as the other tables stared at them. Harry's eyes bulged from Zayn's reaction "What's wrong with you?!" Harry whispery hissed "What's wrong with you?!" Zayn hissed back as the people began to murmur and all eyes on them.Harry looked at his surroundings as people began to stare, they're creating a scene. Harry then looked at Zayn and he sighed "I'm sorry, okay?" Harry said as Zayn's expression softened "It's just, I'm so nervous" Harry shyly said "This is not our first dinner out, why are you nervous?" Zayn almost gave out a chuckle "You see, I've invited you here because I have something to tell you" Harry gripped the table napkin hard "Okay, I'm all ears" Zayn listened as Harry bit his bottom lip and his heart won't stop beating like crazy!"Zayn, would you—" Harry paused "—uh would you like us—" Harry gulped. Zayn's waiting for his words, and he can't seem to decipher what Harry's trying to say "Would you like us to become official?" Harry said as Zayn's heart beat fast, it's like he's having a heart attack—did Harry just asked to be his boyfriend?!Zayn was speechless and of course, shocked. Harry bit his bottom lip—this is a bad decision! Why would he asked Zayn that? Harry knows that Zayn is not a relationship type kind of person "I'm sorry, I—I take back what I said, I mean, I'm sorry" Harry sarcastically laughed as Zayn held his hand on the table "Don't be sorry Harry, and Yes, I would love to be your boyfriend" Zayn answered withou hesitation as he grabbed Harry's hand and Kissed his fingertips.Harry's heart is about to burst out of his chest! Zayn just said yes!________________________________Zayn can't believe it! Harry's now his boyfriend. He'd never thought that Harry would ask him to be his official boyfriend. This is good news! He'd fetched his phone and texted the good news to someone.Zayn did pretty good there eh? He had won Harry. And if the bet was still on, he'd bragged it on Liam's face but nah, all is good."You're so cute when you're nervous" Zayn said, holding Harry's hand as they're now walking towards the parking area.And yes, Zayn can now freely hold Harry's hand without worrying on how Harry would react, they're boyfriends now after all. Harry chuckled as he blushed "I was so nervous, I'd never thought you'd say Yes. I mean, I didn't know what I'll do if you'd say No" Harry explained.Zayn then pulled him closer to him "I'd say Yes, a million times" Zayn grinned and steal a kiss from Harry's cheeks. Harry was stunned, that was the first move Zayn made. A kiss on his cheek. He blushed furiously "God, My boyfriend so cute, I could keep him forever" Zayn face Harry as he gave him a nose to nose. Harry's blushing even more now that any minute now, he'll collapse. Zayn can't stop smiling, Harry is just too cute. And Zayn never thought that he'll be in a relationship with Harry—a serious relationship.Zayn pulled Harry closer to his side "Come on, lets get you home, we still have classes tomorrow" Harry nodded as they continued to walk towards Zayn's truck.Zayn's truck stopped at Harry's dorm. Both of them got quiet. It's like they're still contemplating if what happened earlier at the restaurant was a dream.But no, it was real! They're boyfriends now!Harry took a deep breath as he face Zayn and smiled "Well Thank you, for tonight" Harry said as Zayn face him and smiled.He put his hand on Harry's cheek "No, thank you" Zayn sweetly said giving his cheek a sweet caress. Harry's eyes stared at Zayn's face, he's so beautiful and this beautiful man is his boyfriend. He looked at Zayn's hazel orbs that Harry could get lost through them, then he looked at his lashes, Harry loves Zayn's lashes, they're so thick and long that girls would get jealous of. Then he looked at Zayn's pink lips, Harry swallowed his thick saliva that's been on his throat as he sees Zayn leaned in closer, and closer.The tip of their noses bumped as Harry can smell Zayn's minty breath. Zayn didn't stop, he tilted his head as he closed his eyes and Harry? He let Zayn take him, he closed his eyes too and felt Zayn's soft lips against his. First it was a gentle kiss but then Zayn licked Harry's lips, seeking for entrance as Harry didn't think twice as he opened his mouth and Zayn moved closer to Harry as he put his tongue inside Harry's mouth—tasting him. Zayn's hand moved to Harry's neck, as he steadied him. Harry's hand then grasp Zayn's hair, gently running his fingers through his hair. Their kiss went on and soon parted when they needed some air.After their heated kiss, they locked eyes—Hazel and Green. Zayn never thought that Harry was this good. He'd never been satisfy to just a kiss before but this, this is satisfying. For Harry, this is the first time that he'd kiss someone like that. Kissing Zayn, he felt secure and for sure, he wanted to do it again and again.Zayn's goal: Taking Harry to bed just got thrown out of the window. He's contented kissing Harry forever.When Zayn reached his apartment, his phone rang. Zayn looked at the caller and he smiled seeing the name "Hey, wazzup?" Zayn closed his door as he took off his shoes and lied on the couch "Is this true? You have now a boyfriend?!" the person from the other line said as Zayn hummed a yes "I'm so happy man!" Zayn can't stop smiling "That guy must be really special then huh? You've changed for him" the person from the other line chuckled "Harry is special, Man. You should meet him soon""Sure. Listen, I'm still working. Talk to you later okay?" Zayn nodded "Cool. Okay, later!" Zayn hang up and he contentedly sighed.Zayn and Harry are now together.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry is so happy.After Zayn left, he can't stop thinking about their Kiss.It's just so surreal. Or whatever happened tonight is surreal.Harry closed the door and leaned his back to it, he put his fingers on his lips and reminiscing what happened earlier. It feels like, he can still feel Zayn's lips over his "Harry?" Harry blinked, he saw Louis on his bed and who happens to just woke up "Wow, you're late" Louis yawned as Harry walked past Louis and went to his side of the room "I was out, with Zayn" Harry hurriedly answered as Louis rolled his eyes.Zayn had been eating Harry's time ever since they've became 'Friends'. Of course, Louis knows that Zayn and Harry are having a thing but Harry didn't told Louis that Zayn is now his boyfriend. Or at least his plan that he'll make Zayn his boyfriend "How long will Zayn gives you gifts and stuff? It's been a couple of months already and he hadn't gave up on you. Supposedly, he'll find someone new this time. He easily gets bored you know" Louis said "Uh, Louis, I have to tell you something and please don't hate me for it" Harry said as Louis scratched his head "I won't possibly hate you. You're a good guy" Louis yawned.Harry composed himself as he inhaled—exhaled "Zayn and I are—" Harry took another deep breath "—together" Harry said.Louis' jaw dropped, is he for real?! And seeing Louis' reaction, Harry readied himself "Louis? Please don't—""What?!" Louis yelled as Harry covered his ears because of Louis' piercing voice "Why did you let him be your boyfriend?! When did this happened?! How?! I thought you don't like him?!" Louis bombarded Harry with questions that Harry feels like drowning!Harry went over to him and covered his mouth "You're too loud! And our walls isn't that thick, our neighbors can hear you" Harry warned as Louis glared at him "Okay—" Harry slowly let go of Louis "I was the one who asked him to be my boyfriend and it just happened tonight. And yes, I did told you that I don't like him—at first. But then I get to know him and he is a good person Lou. Underneath his fuckboy image, he's a good person. He cares for me, he somehow respects me and, he's so thoughtful" Harry explained.Louis sat on his bed as glared at Harry "It's your decision Harry but, once he cheats on you or hurt you, I'll be the one to kick his dick" Louis growled as Harry smiled "Thank you Louis" And Harry is so thankful that Louis is such a supportive best friend, even though he hate Zayn so much.Back at Zayn's apartment, Zayn was happily walking towards his room and He was about to open the door when someone opened it for him from the inside "Liam? You're still here?" Zayn gasped as Liam smiled "I was about to go back to the frat house, I fell asleep while watching the movie, just woke up now" Liam explained.Zayn got inside "You're pretty late" Liam said watching his phone's clock "Uh yeah, Harry and I didn't noticed the time" Zayn scratched the back of his head "Oh, so—" Liam leaned his shoulder on the door frame "Something happened? You look cheery" Liam chuckled "What?! Nothing—nothing happened" Zayn lied.He doesn't know why he can't tell Liam.But he must, he is his best friend "Oh man, Harry and I are boyfriends" Liam almost slumped from the news. He's in shock, after Zayn's break up like 3 years ago, Zayn is now in a relationship?! A serious one?! Liam never thought he would like Harry this much that now they're boyfriends "Wow—" Liam is speechless "—I've never thought I get to see the day that Zayn Malik, the Uni's fuckboy is now in a relationship, wow!" Liam grinned "So, you've change then?" Liam added as Zayn tilted his head "Change?""Change. No more random hook ups, no more side chicks, no more using your 'fall for me tricks'? You'll all be loyal to Harry, faithful to Harry and for Harry only?" Liam raised his brow, waiting for Zayn's response.And yeah, Zayn doesn't know if he'd completely changed.All he know is that, when he's with Harry, he's all he ever could ever think of, he's all in his mind and he's contented being with Harry, doing simple things "All I know is, I'm happy when I'm with Harry" Zayn responded.Liam bid Zayn goodbye after that. Still, he can't get off his mind Zayn's reply. He's happy when he's with Harry and Liam can see that. But Zayn had been single for three years and all he did for three years is fuck some random girl or boy he sees and mess with their feelings.Liam hopes that Zayn won't fuck up this one. Harry deserves to be treated correctly because as far Liam can see, Harry is pure—so pure that he deserves the right love and treatment. Hopefully Zayn can provide that.______________________________It's been weeks since Zayn and Harry became boyfriends.They've enjoyed each other's company and Zayn never gets tired of being with Harry. Harry makes him happy even just in simple ways. Harry would sometimes cook for Zayn, and Zayn would return a favor by cuddling with him or staying with him at his dorm, watching movies or read books.Some girls and guys are jealous of what they have since, most of them still wants Zayn. And yes, Zayn resisted those sexy invites from the people who texted him and emails him that wants to have a good time. Zayn doesn't need those, he got Harry as his good time. But, Harry is kind of a conservative type. All they did was kissing, a little touching and flirting.Zayn wants more.But he doesn't pressure Harry though, because Zayn believes that waiting for Harry is worth the wait. Or is it?
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn got invited to a little dinner near their Uni by Josh and his new cliques.Since Josh is Zayn's friend, he'd already said yes "Babe? Josh invited me to a little dinner at the Bar near the Uni later" Zayn said as he looks at Harry who's making them snacks at Zayn's kitchen.Zayn already invited Harry over his apartment. Since they're boyfriends, Harry is allowed to go inside his apartment now "Okay? That's good" Harry responded while making waffles. Zayn went to Harry wrapping his arms on Harry's waist "Zayn? I'm doing something" Harry looked at Zayn as Zayn tightened his hugged on Harry.Zayn then planted soft kisses on the back of Harry's neck "Stop, the waffles will burnt" Harry warned as Zayn licked on Harry's earlobe. Harry blushed, he bit his bottom lip, suppressing a moan as he can feel that Zayn is turning him on. Harry then take hold of Zayn's arms as he removed them. Harry turned off the waffle maker and face Zayn. He put his arms around his neck "Zaynie. You're such a naughty boy" Harry smiled as he gave Zayn a nose to nose "I want to be naughty for you Harreh" Zayn rawred as he captured Harry's lips. They've kissed until Zayn take hold of Harry's waist and hoisted him up, as Harry straddled on Zayn's hips.Zayn moved them to the marble table of the kitchen as Zayn put him there. They continued to Kiss, nibbling, biting, tasting each other's mouths as Zayn's hand went inside Harry's shirt. Zayn can now feel Harry's warmth skin. He ran his hand up and down on Harry's skin, feeling his abs as Zayn's lips traveled down on his neck.Harry's head tilted up, savoring the feeling as his hand went up on Zayn's hair, entangling his fingers on every hair strand. Zayn planted kisses on Harry's neck as he sucked and left his mark and that gave out a moan from Harry.Harry's eyes immediately opened—did he just moaned?!He gasped as he gently pushed Zayn "Ohgod" Harry panicked. He's so turned on that he didn't stop himself from moaning. Everything feels new to Harry so he panicked. Zayn on other hand, is used to this. In fact, hearing Harry moan made him turned on "Babe? What's wrong?" Harry covered his face with his palms, he doesn't know why he feel so ashamed that he moaned "Harreh, baby, what's wrong?" Zayn put his hands on Harry's arms, running his fingers up and down"I'm sorry Zaynie. It's just—I think I don't know how to react" Harry pouted as he removed his hands aways from his face. Zayn chuckled and leaned in and kissed Harry's pout "You are so cute that I want to eat you up" Harry's eyes widened "Eat me?!" Harry gasped as Zayn laughed, his boyfrienf is so cute! Zayn sighed as he leaned their foreheads together "It's just an expression Harreh and don't worry, we'll wait for the right time, okay?" Zayn looks at Harry giving him his sweet smile.Sure, that was a big cock block for Zayn but he respect Harry so much that he'll wait for him to be ready "And when will that be?" Josh asked as he sip his beer.Zayn is now with Josh and his new friends at a newly opened bar in town "I don't know" Zayn deeply sighed "You've been boyfriends for how long now?" Josh asked "Close to a month now" Zayn replied as he ate a fry. Josh shrugged "Not bad for a fuckboy like you Zayn, you've stayed in a relationship without having to bang someone" Josh chuckled "Hey, I have an idea. Why not bang tonight?" Josh added as Zayn's eyes widened "What are you talking about?!""Come on, I mean, I know you missed having sex, and Harry and you aren't that long yet, why not find someone to fulfill your needs?" Josh suggested as Zayn looked at him with a weird expression "Good timing! Some of my new friends are looking for some action tonight, you'll just have to take your pick" Josh playfully wiggled his eyebrows at Zayn "I'm not gonna do it Josh" Zayn said but Josh didn't seem to hear Zayn "Here they are" Josh smiled as he introduced his new friends one by one"Zayn, this is Chris, Michael and Anna" Josh pointed at them one by one "Guys, this is Zayn Malik" Zayn wave a hand at the three as Anna, the only girl of the group flirtatiously batted her fake lashes at Zayn "Aren't you the famous Zayn Malik? Wants some actions tonight?" As soon as Anna said it, Zayn's mind suddenly went blank that all he could respond is a crooked smile.______________________________"So where did you say Zayn was?" Niall asked.He and Harry are walking to find something to eat. Niall just got off from his shift at the cafe and ever since Zayn and him are boyfriends, Harry became close to Niall since most of their date nights are spent on the cafe where Niall works "All he said was, he'll be at eating somewhere near the Uni" Harry shrugged "What about your friend, Louis? Aren't he joining us?" Niall asked "He's with someone, I don't know who. He just texted me that he's at someone's apartment" Harry answered.They were walking and walking until Niall stopped "Oh! I know where we can eat! There's a new opened Bar over there, wanna try it out?" Niall excitedly asked "Okay" Harry and Niall both crossed the street and went inside the bar "Wow, it's a bit crowded in here" Niall said as Harry trails behind him "Maybe because it just opened" Harry answered in his matter-in-fact voice. He grabbed Niall's wrist as they keep on walking inside the bar, looking for empty table.Meanwhile back at Zayn, Anna can't seem to take off her hands on Zayn.She ran her hand on Zayn's arms and Zayn won't deny that Anna is a sexy lady. With those gorgeous brown eyes and curvaceous body, definitely Zayn's type in a woman "So Zayn, after this, what are you doing?" Anna asked as she licked her red lips "Back at my apartment" Zayn answered in his sexy voice as Anna leaned closer to Zayn "Can I come?" She whispered flirtatiously and wow, that was inviting.Zayn was about to answer when his peripheral vision caught something.No not something but someone.Zayn looked at his right and there, he saw Harry Styles, eyes wide like pingpong balls.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry can't believe it!He wished he was sleeping, having a nightmare. But no! He's wide awake! He's wide awake and looking at his boyfriend with a woman!Harry froze seeing Zayn with a woman. Her hands on Zayn's arms and Zayn is smiling with her. That smile, Harry knows that Smile. A smile of flirting. Zayn used that smile to Harry before, the day they first met. Harry didn't know what to do. His chest is aching and he wanted to cry.Harry moved, he grabbed Niall by his wrist as he pulled him out of the bar. As for Zayn, he groaned, what's Harry doing here?! He didn't bother excusing himself to Josh or to Anna as he left them and followed Harry "Harry, what's wrong? I almost got us a table" Niall said as Harry wasn't listening. He keeps on dragging Niall away from the bar "Harreh! Harreh! Wait!" Niall looked back seeing Zayn, catching up to them "Oh look! It's Zayn!" Niall cheery said but Harry kept on walking, Pulling Niall with him.Zayn ran faster as he caught up with Niall and Harry "Hey Zayn!" Niall said as he pulled Harry with him into a stop to greet Zayn "Harry, please let me explain" Zayn said as Niall suddenly feel awkward, okay, there's definitely something happened that Niall didn't know about "Thank you for coming with me today Niall" Harry seriously said.Niall didn't bother asking what happened. He just followed his instinct that something went wrong "Okay, I'll uh—I'll go ahead" Niall cleared his throat "Bye Zee" Niall wave a hand as he left the couple.As soon as Niall was gone, Harry's eyes met Zayn's "Explain" Harry said as he put his hands on his hips "What you saw, that was nothing" Zayn replied "She was just one of Josh's friends and we got to know each other""Why is her hand on your arms?" Harry barged in "Uh—she was just too friendly. She was just asking if what will I do after dinner and I answered will go back to my apartment and she asked if she could come—" Zayn's panicking inside "Then what did you answer?" Harry barged in again.Zayn wiped his sweat, when did it got hot in here? Zayn cleared his throat "I didn't answer her, I saw—saw you" Zayn stuttered "Would you have said yes?" Harry simply asked "What? What are you talking about, I would never say yes to her, I got you. You're my boyfriend" Zayn slowly reached for Harry's hand and when they're in contact, he tangled their hands together "I'm not gonna do something that will hurt you" Zayn raised their tangled hands and kissed Harry's knuckles as Harry heavily sighed "Zayn, in this relationship, we need honesty. Now, be honest, if you didn't see me, would you have said yes to that woman?" Harry stared at Zayn's eyes, he'll definitely know if Zayn will lie.Zayn's sweating, one wrong move, everything will crumble.One wrong move, he'll lose Harry forever.Zayn gulped as he can't look Harry straight from his eyes. The truth is, if he didn't see Harry, he would've said yes to Anna. Zayn's missing some action and he thought about Josh said about having sex to fulfill his needs. Zayn took a deep breath, he'll be just honest. After all, this is Harry, his sweet and pure Harry "I would have said yes" Zayn whispery said as Harry's heart just crumbled. Harry let go of Zayn's hand as he suppressed his tears "Harreh, I'm sorry but—" Zayn didn't even finished his apology when Harry ran and left him.Harry didn't only get his heart broken but also his trust._____________________________Louis opened the curtain from their room.Ever since Louis got the news that Harry had been cheated on, he wanted to punch Zayn's face a couple of times until no one will recognize him. Harry groaned as his eyes are hit by the sunlight. Harry pulled his duvet on his head "Come on Harry, we still have class" Louis said, pulling him out of the bed "I don't want to go" Harry whined as Louis forcefully pulled him.Harry fell down the bed "Louis! I said no!" Harry shouted as the duvet covering his face fell off the floor. Louis' eyes widened seeing Harry looking horrible! His eyes are so red and puffy from crying and he also has dark eye bags "Harry, look at you" Louis said as Harry can't hold back his tears. Harry grabbed his duvet and covered his face again while he cried "It hurt so much Lou—" Harry cried even harder "—I want it to stop" Harry cried and cried.Once Louis will find Zayn, he'll make sure he'll never see tomorrow.Zayn was at his apartment, he didn't sleep well at night. He's thinking about Harry. Zayn made a wrong move and that's hurting Harry. Zayn can't forget Harry's eyes when he looked at Zayn. He looked so broken.That's the last thing Zayn wanted to do Harry, to hurt him.But Zayn won't give up. He will fight for Harry. He'll win him back.He'll do anything to win Harry back because he Loves Harry and he'll do whatever to be Harry's boyfriend again.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry skipped school for a week. He needed time for himself.Time to cry and poured his broken heart out. He's so broken that he can't think straight. Louis tried to help Harry. But Harry's a hard head that he ignores Louis.Harry's moping around when someone knocked on his door. He groaned "Nobody's home" Harry said as it keeps on knocking. Harry stood and lazily walked towards the door when he opened the door, no one's there. Harry was about to go back inside when Harry glanced at the ground, he saw a basket.Harry looked at left and right, hoping to see someone but the hall is empty. Harry crouched down as he picked up the basket and brought it with him inside his room.He didn't know that Zayn Malik is watching him from afar.Harry sat on the floor as he looked at the basket. He saw an envelope with his name written on it. Harry opened the envelope and read it "Babe, I'm sorry for everything. I know, it's all my fault. I've broken your trust. I know it may not be easy to return to what we are before but, I'm sorry Harry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me" Harry read as tears rolled down his cheeks.He even cried harder when he saw Zayn's name at the end.Harry sniffed as he looked what's inside the basket. Inside was a face of Harry, drew in portrait, and there's also a book, no it's a photo album. Harry opened the album—it's Him and Zayn's photos together, their selfies, moments and candid shots And at the end of the album, Zayn's hand writing of "Always and forever Babe". Harry's chest hurts, his heart had been torn to pieces. Harry put the album on his desk along with his portrait. As he remembered that night. The night he saw Zayn, flirting with that woman.Is Harry not enough for Zayn?! The love that Harry gives not enough?! Wait, love? Does Harry love Zayn that's why he's hurting so bad?After moping around, Harry decided to finally attend his classes. Louis was happy that he finally decided to get up. But Harry wasn't attentive at his classes, he's body is there but his mind is off somewhere. And he's like a walking zombie, walking on the hallways of the Uni.As for Zayn, he just got from the bookstore, he bought Harry a new book.After buying books, Zayn then drove to the frat house "Hey Man!" Zayn greeted Liam "Zayn? Whoa!—" Liam was shocked Seeing Zayn's face "What happened to your face Zayn? Did you sleep at all?" Zayn's face looked twice as horrible as Harry: he didn't shaved, didn't sleep and definitely he looks like a panda with dark circles on his eyes "I uh—I hadn't been sleeping well" Zayn sighed "What the hell happened?" Liam concernedly ask "Harry and I kinda have a fight" Zayn muttered "Hey Zayn! Good thing you're here! You know, the girl Anna? She was looking for you, she wanted to have fun with you" Josh playfully wiggled his eyebrows as Liam instantly know what happened.Liam stared at Zayn, he has that look in his face—shame "Josh, go help the other boys with the chores, I'll talk to Zayn for a minute" Liam ordered as Josh nodded and went out.Liam led Zayn to his room. As they've reached Liam's room, Zayn sat on his bed "Talk to me Zayn" Liam said as he sat at his computer chair and Zayn on his bed "Well, I was uh—I didn't know that he was there, I was just having fun and all of the sudden, he was there, watching me in horror" Zayn covered his face with his palms.Liam sighed "Zayn, is this Anna that Josh mentioned is the reason why you and Harry are not speaking?" Liam Stared at Zayn who's frustrated "Yes, Harry saw me flirting with Anna but nothing happened" Zayn sweared "Zayn, what are you doing? You have Harry, isn't he enough?" Liam sighed as Zayn's tears started to flow "He. Is. Enough" Zayn's voice is shaking "Are you sure about that? Then you shouldn't have flirted at the first place" Liam said as Zayn cried harder. Liam stood and sat beside Zayn on his bed "Hey, I'm not taking sides here okay? Think about Harry, I know he's thinking worse right now, thinking that you've been cheating on him for a long time" Liam explained "You need to apologize Zayn. Harry needs it. And you better be ready for his decision. It's either he'll accept you or reject you" Liam said as he comforted Zayn.And again, Liam is right, Zayn will lose.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn drove to Harry's dorm.He's nervous, he'll be apologizing to Harry and hopefully, Harry will forgive him.His trucked stopped as Zayn took a deep breath, gripping the steering wheel "Relax Zayn, you could do this" Zayn closed his eyes, repeating the mantra when his phone rang. Zayn opened his eyes and looked at the caller, he clicked the answer button "Hey, what's up?""You sound awful, what's wrong?" The person on the other line asked "Listen, I need to tell you something since we tell each other everything" Zayn sighed "I had a fight with my boyfriend" Zayn heard the person gasped "Why? What happened?""He saw me flirting with somebody" Zayn mumbled "What the?! I thought you've somehow change?" Zayn heavily sighed "It's just, I didn't know he was there and—""Listen Zayn, it doesn't matter if he's there or whatever. You have a boyfriend. It means that you're committed and is not allowed to flirt with somebody else. Are you really serious about this Harry?" The person on the other line asked as Zayn's ego was triggered "Of course! I did everything I could to get Harry. Of course I'm serious about him!" Zayn said in high tone of his voice "If you are serious, why did you flirt then? Don't be such an asshole and apologize to him" Zayn nodded "I will. I'll apologize now""And Zayn, as you describe Harry, he's a great person. He's for keeps. Keep him, you can't find someone like him" the other person on the line said as Zayn realized that Harry is special. He's caring, thoughtful and his pureness and innocence makes him lovable "Thanks. I'll talk to you later" Zayn said "No worries. Just let me know how it goes, bye" Zayn hang up as he heavily sighed "You can do this Zayn"Zayn got off his truck and went at the back.He grabbed the guitar, which he borrowed from Liam and the books he'd brought.He then took a deep breath "You can do this" Zayn mumbled to his self. He put the books on the hood of his truck and composed himself to play the guitar. He strum the guitar and adjusted the chord. After adjusting, he inhaled—exhaled as he started to strum the guitar and began singing "Wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with you........"Harry was on his bed per usual. Moping and still hurting when he heard a sound. He perked his head up as he listened carefully. Looks like coming from the outside, and it sounded like a guitar? Harry wrapped his self with his duvet as he walked towards the door and he slowly turned the door knob.Opening the door, his heart beat fast, it's Zayn! And he's playing the guitar, singing "Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes.........Some things are meant to be" Harry's eyes started to cry watching Zayn, serenading him with Elvis Presley's can't help falling in love.As for Zayn, his breath got caught on his throat when he finally saw Harry! His Harry! Zayn gave out tears too, tears of joy because finally, of how many weeks, Zayn finally saw Harry again, well, he was watching him from afar but this time, he's looking straight at him!Zayn continued to sing, even though his voice is starting to crack because of too much emotion ".......but I can't help, falling in love with you" Zayn sang as he sadly smiled at Harry.Harry sniffed, Zayn has a very beautiful voice, Harry is falling more in love with him.Zayn put the guitar down and grabbed the books he'd bought and went to Harry "Harreh, I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry for doing that to you" Zayn wiped his own tears "I won't for sure, do that again" Zayn added as Harry stares at him "I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry for what I did. I know we may not be able to return to what we were but I just want to tell you that I—" Zayn paused, this is it Zayn, say it! "—I love you Harry Styles" Harry's eyes widened, his heart beat suddenly shoots up that he feels like passing out, Zayn Malik loves him!Harry was speechless "I sang that song because I want you to know that I really love you. I really do! And again, I've been a fool for hurting you. It's okay if you won't forgive me. I said what I needed to say. I'll give you time to forgive me and if you won't, It's okay. I deserve it" Zayn wanted to cry again but he suppressed it "Here—" Zayn handed Harry the complete set of JK Rowling's Harry Potter books.Harry eyed the books "Maybe a farewell gift or whatever" Zayn mumbled as Harry's eyes went back to Zayn's hazel ones. Zayn is sweet and thoughtful, Harry realized that he loves Zayn when he was moping around, rethinking about being Zayn's boyfriend. And from the way Harry can see it, the love he has for Zayn, is the reason why Harry suddenly forget that night he flirted with the woman.Harry didn't say a word as he grabbed the books and put it on the ground and then he gave Zayn a tight hug.Zayn's eyes widened as he felt Harry's warm embrace "I believe in second chances Zayn—" Harry whispered "—I love you too" Harry added as Zayn started crying. He wrapped his arms on Harry's back, real tight "I love you so much Harreh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zayn repeatedly said as Harry smiled—he just can't resist this guy.Harry and Zayn let go as Harry smiled, he wiped Zayn's tears using his hand "Stop crying now" Harry said as Zayn put his hand on Harry's cheek and wiped his tears too "You're still beautiful" Zayn whispered as he planted a kiss on Harry's forehead.After their emotional moment, Zayn then took Harry to the cliff where they sat at the hood of Zayn's truck and watching the city lights.Harry's lying in Zayn's lap while Zayn caresseing Harry's soft curls "I'm really sorry Harreh" Zayn started as Harry looked up to him, his big and round eyes shining from the natural night sky "I've already forgiven you" Harry smiled as Zayn smiled back "Thank you, for forgiving me and for this second chance" Zayn's hand traveled on Harry's arms as he ran his fingers through it "I did it because I love you, Zayn" Harry responded as Harry got up from Zayn's lap and sat beside Zayn, leaning his head on his shoulder. Zayn wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders, how he missed being this close to Harry "I love you, Harry, so much" Zayn whispered as he leaned in and captured Harry's lips.Zayn and Harry both misses each others lips and that night, they kissed under the dark skies and at the overlooking city lights.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn and Harry are back together.And yes, Zayn was very cautious in everything he do. He doesn't give eye contact to anyone at the Uni. He doesn't want to hurt Harry anymore. He's also been avoiding some people too. Especially the ones that Zayn knows who are flirty.Harry told Louis that they're back together and of course, Louis made an eye roll "Whatever, he's still gonna do it again" Louis bitterly said as he and Harry are walking towards the building of their class. Harry shake his head "Let's not go to that conclusion" Harry replied "Harry, good thing I haven't seen your boyfriend or else I would've—" Louis stopped talking when he saw Zayn coming their way "That son of bitch!" Louis formed his hand into fist and Harry knows what will happen next "Lou! No!" Harry raised his voice as Louis ran towards Zayn and aimed for Zayn's face, right on his nose.Harry take hold of Louis on his waist, stopping him "Lou! Stop it!" Harry screeched "Stop messing with my friend! You don't deserve him! You fuckboy!" Louis shouted as the other students began to form a crowd "Next time you hurt him, not only your nose will be broken" Louis spat as he held Harry's wrist and pulled him with him "Come on Harry" Louis said but Harry didn't move. He stares at Louis and shake his head "Lou, just.....go to class without me. I'll be with Zayn" Harry replied as Louis gave him a stare before sighing "UGH fine! And I'm not apologizing for hitting him...see you later" Louis answered as he lets go of Harry and went on his way.Harry then looked at Zayn's nose "It's bleeding, come on" Harry helped Zayn get to his truck as they avoided the crowd.When they're already at the truck, Harry grabbed the first aid kit on the comparment without saying a word to Zayn. He dab some alcohol on Zayn's nose "I'm sorry for Louis" Harry spoke "I don't know why he really hates you" He added as he put a cotton under Zayn's nostrils to prevent it from bleeding. Zayn was quiet. He was thinking about what Louis had said that he doesn't deserve Harry.All of Harry is genuine and pure."What are you thinking?" Harry asked as he arranged the first aid kit "Uh, nothing" Zayn smiled as Harry put his hand on Zayn's cheek "Your eyes says otherwise. Come on, what are you thinking?" Harry face Zayn. Zayn sighed as he removed the cotton ball from his nosetrils "I'm just thinking about what Louis said, that I don't deserve you" Harry stared at him for a while and shrugged "Well, Louis can say whatever he wants. And I know you'll strive hard to be better, right?" Harry responded with a smile.Zayn thought, Harry did change him a little.When he started going out with him, he was genuinely happy. Harry made him happy. Sure, there are things that Zayn wanted to do with Harry but because Zayn respects Harry so much, he forget those wants "Yes, I want to be better, for you""And for yourself" Harry pointed as he leaned in and gave Zayn a nose to nose._____________________________"What's up man?" Zayn is talking to his phone, lazying around on his couch "Tired from work, how about you? How did it go? You, apologizing to your boyfriend?" The person from the other line asked "It was good. We're together again" Zayn cheered "Huh, that Harry guy is really a good hearted person" Zayn raised his brow "And you mean?" Zayn asked as the person from the other line chuckled "He still gave you a second chance after what you did. I wanna say that not all is given a second chance. Don't screw it up, Zaynie" Zayn laughed "It's been a while that you've called me Zaynie" Zayn chuckled "But yeah, I won't screw it up. The second chance that Harry gave. I'm crazy about him. He's so pure and innocent" Zayn dreamily sighed "And people like Harry, they are for keeps because they genuinely love the people around them. You should treat him well Zayn, we all know that he's too good for you" The person said "And yet I'm so lucky that he chose me" Zayn smiled, Harry does love him so much. And so is Zayn."Cherish him Zayn. Only few like Harry are left on this world. Anyway, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later" Zayn nodded "And Zayn?""Yeah?""Don't fucked up again" The person lastly said before hanging up.He is right. Harry is too gentle and too good to get hurt again.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Finals just finished and Harry is so beat. He'd studied hard and his time for Zayn was limited during exams.They would sometimes see each other, went out for dinner and then goes home withou doing anything else since Harry wanted to ace his exams.So, after all the hardwork in studying, Harry planned on visiting Zayn.He went to Zayn's apartment and noticed that it was so quiet. He went to the kitchen part of the apartment and put down the bags of groceries since he promised Zayn that he'll cook something for him. After putting the bags down, Harry silently walked inside Zayn's room as he checked if he's at his room. Harry grinned seeing his beautiful boyfriend sleeping peacefully in his bed. Harry saw Zayn's eyes all closed and he slowly approaches him and sat on his bed.He stared at his angel, scanning his gorgeous face: from his eyebrows, thick lashes and pointy nose. Harry then ghosted his fingers on Zayn's plump lips and after eyeing Zayn, Harry smirked as he put his hands on Zayn's side and started to tickle him.Zayn instantly opened his eyes as he felt hands on his sides, fingers roaming his waist. Harry giggled "Harreh?!" Zayn shouted as Harry's giggled turned into laughter "Sorry!" Harry said, raising his hands for surrender. Zayn stared at him as he smirked and held Harry on his waist and pulled him to his bed.Harry lied down on his back as Zayn take hold of his hands, positioning them over his head. Zayn straddled on Harry's hips, pinning him to the soft mattress "Hi" Zayn smiled as Harry smiled back too "Hello" Harry responded as Zayn leaned down and captured Harry's lips.They've been missing each other so much that Zayn kisses Harry with hunger.Harry kissed back as he savors Zayn's kiss "God, I've missed you" Zayn said once he stopped as Harry nodded "I've missed you too Zaynie" Harry then removed his hands from Zayn's grip as he put them on Zayn's neck and kissed Zayn again and again. Their kissed got passionate, heated and needed.Zayn's lips went to Harry's neck, down to his collarbone, tasting every fiber of Harry. Zayn then went back on Harry's lips and let go as he stared at Harry's green eyes as his hands went on the hem of Harry's t shirt. Zayn slowly pulled up Harry's t shirt "Zayn?" Harry whispered, his breathing became rapid as Zayn keeps on pulling up his shirt "It's okay" Zayn whispered back as Harry let Zayn took charge.After taking off Harry's shirt, Zayn examined Harry's body. He stared at his chest and down to his stomach and abs. Zayn is even more turned on. Zayn licked his lips as he took off his black tank top and threw it on the floor.Zayn then captured Harry's lips again, his hands traveling on Harry's sides. Harry put his hand on Zayn's back, feeling his toned muscles as Zayn's lips went on Harry's chest. Zayn's kisses are so good that Harry gave out a moan "Don't hold back babe, don't hold back" Zayn said between kisses as Harry bit his lip, he's so turned on that he can't hold it "Is this happening? Are we gonna do it? We're gonna have sex!" Harry thought as he closed his eyes, feeling the pleasure that Zayn gives.Zayn's kisses traveled to Harry's chest all the way to his stomach. Harry can't stop moaning, it just feels so good. Zayn was about to unbuckle Harry's belt when the door went flying open "Zaynie!" Josh shouted and he jumped as soon as he saw what his friend had been doing "WHOA! Wait—what!" Josh screamed as he saw them making out, or was about to have sex!Harry grabbed Zayn's duvet and he hid himself as for Zayn, he was shock that Josh was in his apartment.Josh covered his eyes "Dude! I can't unsee that!" Josh groaned "Dude! Dude?! What?! Get out!" Zayn yelled as Josh instantly went out.Harry take off the duvet as he looked at Zayn "That was a huge cock block" Zayn frustratedly sighed as Harry smiled and wrapped his hands on Zayn's neck "Don't worry, I enjoyed it" Harry gave Zayn a peck as Zayn's expression softened "I love you" Zayn whispered as Harry's smile widened.He gave Zayn a nose to nose "I love you too"Harry was relieved that they didn't have sex because He wasn't ready yet.After an intimate moment, Zayn went out of his room. He saw Josh sitting on the couch, watching tv while Liam, was at the kitchen, cooking "Hey buddy" Zayn sat on the chair from the marble table at the kitchen "Hey—" Liam didn't even looked at Zayn as he's busy with the cooking "Sorry to interrupt Zee. We didn't know that it was your good time with Harry" Liam chuckled as Zayn rolled his eyes "You could've let me know before you barged in""We did. I texted you. You might haven't heard because you're busy listening to Harry's moans" Liam laughed as Zayn blushed "I can't unsee it man! It was blugggh" Josh piped in as Zayn shake his head "We were about to get it on Dude! I was so turned on!" Zayn covered his face with his palm "Wait, where's Harry?" Josh looked at Zayn's room "After what you saw, he's embarassed to be here, he said, he'll stay inside my room til you guys leave" Zayn explained as Liam put a plate of food at the table "Tada! I've used the ingredients from that grocery bag" Liam pointed "Harry bought those. He was supposed to cook for me today until you guys showed up" Zayn grabbed a fork and tasted Liam's cooking.After Tasting Liam's cooking, Zayn's eyes sparkles "Wow, this delicious. Left some for Harry please" Zayn smiled as Liam nodded "What brings you here anyway?" Zayn asked as he ate some more. Josh jumped out from the couch as he went to join Zayn and Liam "Finals are over man! Inviting you to come with us at a beach party!" Josh excitedly said as he put food on his mouth. Zayn shrugged "That's cool, where?""White pearl beach, lets get ready to get laid!" Josh yelled as Liam smacked his head "Ouch?!" Josh scratched his head "Zayn's taking Harry, maybe at the beach, they'll finally do it!" Liam playfully wiggled his brows to Zayn as Zayn thought about it, yeah, he could make it special for Harry.With candles and rose petals "I'm in!" they fist bumped and continued to eat Liam's cooking.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"I don't want you to go" Harry pouted and wrapped his arms on Zayn's waist. Zayn sighed as he stares his beautiful boyfriend. He just told Harry about the beach party and they're at Harry's dorm, specifically in Harry's bed, talking about it and Harry's being all childish and clingy. Zayn loves it everytime Harry's all clingy, he is his baby after all."But I already said to Josh that we're coming" Zayn responded as he put his hand on Harry's arm, running his fingers through his soft skin "We were supposed to go to my hometown" Harry removed his hands on Zayn's waist and transferred his hands on Zayn's hands, lacing their fingers "You agreed that you'll meet Mom and Gemma" Harry said "We could, move the schedule going home, right? It's just that, this party happens only once a year. We can't miss it" Zayn explained as Harry pouted some more.Zayn wanted to kiss his pout away "You're unfair" Harry mumbled "What? How am I being unfair?" Zayn asked calmly as Harry removed his hands from Zayn's "We've already planned and set the date us meeting Mom and Gemma and now, you're changing it" Harry crossed his arms on his chest "Come on, don't be like this Harreh" Zayn cooed but Harry ignored him "I always told you that I don't like my plans gets messed up" Harry said "Babe, come on. I'm sure we'll have fun at the party. Let's get out once in a while" Zayn softly said as Harry turned his back on Zayn "I'll go home. And you, just go to your party" Harry said, not looking at Zayn.Harry's acting like a child! Zayn heavily sighed "Don't be like this Harreh" Zayn put his hand on Harry's shoulder but Harry brushed it off and that's when Zayn's patience broke.He can't take anymore of his childishness "Fine! Be that way! I'll go without you!" Zayn raised his voice as he stood and left Harry at his room.Harry bit his bottom lip, resist him Harry. RESIST HIM!Let him go to that stupid party.___________________________Zayn went with Josh and Liam at the White pearl beach.Zayn's a little down since Harry isn't with him "Cheer up Zaynie! Look at the babes!" Josh put his arm on Zayn's shoulders, showing Zayn the girls who are in their bikinis "Leave him alone Josh" Liam said as Josh take off his arm on Zayn "If you don't want to be here, you could leave and be with Harry" Liam said as Zayn sighed "Now that I'm here, I wish I'm with Harry" Zayn responded "Oh come on, Don't be a kill joy! Lets have some fun!" Josh cheered as he dragged Zayn to the entrance of the beach.Back at the dorm, Harry is staring at his cellphone.Maybe he'd gone overboard with Zayn. He didn't mean to act childish. Is just that, they've been planning to visit Harry's home for 2 months and all of the sudden, it changed. Also, Harry misses His Mom and Gemma.Harry deeply sighed "He' being stupid. Let him be" Louis said while playing with his phone on his bed "I think this time it's my fault" Harry said as Louis paused the game and stared at Harry "If he's that decided about you, he would choose meeting your family than be with his friends at a party" Louis rolled his eyes as he went back to his game "Maybe I should apologize" Harry scrolled through his phone contacts and stared at Zayn's name.He's having second thoughts if he'll call Zayn. Harry took a deep breath as he pressed Zayn's name. The phone ring and Zayn's not answering "He's not gonna answer, he's at a party" Louis said.Harry keeps on contacting Zayn but no answer "Lou, you're coming with me" Harry stood as Louis looked at him with wide eyes "To where?!" Louis gaped "To white pearl beach, I'll apologize to Zayn and say that I didn't mean to be childish and selfish" Harry said "I might hit him if I'll go with you. You know I hate that guy" Louis answered "Just, come with me, I'll do the searching while you, you just enjoy the party. You love parties" Harry explained as Louis shrugged "Okay fine! Let's go"Harry is so happy that Louis is coming with him. He needs to apologize to Zayn. Harry can't stand that Zayn and him aren't talking.Zayn on the other hand, is enjoying the party.He's eyes are full seeing ladies in bikinis and two piece bathing suits. He also stared at guys with super hot body build. Zayn was dancing, drinking and just being carefree. He wanted to forget that Harry and him are in a fight—a little tinnie fight.Liam is worried though, looks like Zayn is back to his old self—the fuckboy Zayn "Hey!" Zayn spun around and smiled at a pretty lady. The lady batted his fake lashes at Zayn "Name's Bella, and you?" She offered her hand for Zayn to shake as Zayn looked at her from top to bottom, wow, she has a slender body "Zayn" Zayn shake her hand as she offered him a red cup "Cheers!" Bella grinned as Zayn smiled and drank.Zayn and Bella were having fun talking.Zayn told her that he's bisexual and he has a boyfriend and she asked if why his boyfriend isn't with him "We got into a little fight" Zayn said "Ooooh, you've been a bad boy?" Bella seductively licked her lips asking Zayn. Zayn stared at her silver colored eyes and to her pink lips.Zayn licked his lips "It was just a petty fight" Zayn shrugged. Bella then scooted closer to Zayn as she put her hand on Zayn's arm "So, why don't we have some more drinks so that you'll forget your petty fight with your boyfriend?" Bella said as she wiggled her eyebrows. Zayn on the other hand is feeling this excitement.He hadn't feel this kind of excitement in a while.Zayn chuckled as he grabbed his red cup "I totally agree! Cheers!" Zayn cheered as he drank—bottoms up. After how many beers later, both Zayn and Bella are laughing like crazy. They're a little drank and a little horny "Wanna go to my tent? We could rest there for a bit" Bella whispered to Zayn as Zayn smiled "Sure babe" Bella's eyes sparkles, this beautiful man just called her babe. And she doesn't care if he has a boyfriend and doesn't mind if this is only a one night stand because she's gonna do it with this beautiful and gorgeous man.Harry and Louis reached the beach. Louis eyes went big seeing beautiful ladies with their bodies showing "I'll totally enjoy it here Harry" Louis is excited. Harry rolled his eyes "Remember what we've talked about" Harry looked at Louis who nodded his head "My cellphone is on vibrate mode. Call me if you need anything" Louis replied as he wave a hand at Harry and started to go to the party. Harry started his search and he's trying calling him but Zayn is still not answering his calls.Harry only hope that he'll find Zayn. Harry looked at the dance floor, at the bar and at the seaside, he didn't find Zayn. He said he'll be here. Harry went back to the bar as his eyes sparkled seeing Liam "Hey Liam!" Harry happily greeted as Liam eyes widened with surprise "Harry! You're here!""Yeah, Just got here" Harry said "Are you with Zayn?" Liam asked as Harry is confused, why would Liam asked Harry? "I'm actually looking for him. Don't you know where he is?" Liam is also confused, if Harry's here and Zayn doesn't know that means— "You came to see him here? Not telling him?" Liam worriedly asked still looking at Harry wth surprise look "I've been calling him but he's not answering" Harry answered as he look at his phone and still, no text tor callback.Liam has a bad feeling about this "Harry! You are here!" Josh popped out of nowhere and he put his arm on Harry's shoulders and god, he's so drunk "Hey Josh, uhm, have you seen Zayn?" Harry politely asked "Zayn?! ZAYN?" Josh laughed as Harry stared at him with awkwardness "He's with some chick up in the tents, he's getting some tonight!" Josh said as Liam's eyes widened. He looked at Harry's expression, his soft face suddenly turned into a shock expression: he's eyes big and his face pale "Harry, don't listen to Josh. You know him, he's a pervert and he's drunk" Liam said as he saw Harry's broken expression "Come on, let me help you find him" Liam said as he grabbed Harry by his elbow and led him to the seaside.Liam just hope that his instincts are wrong. Please be wrong!//A/N: OHMY WHERE ARE YOU ZAYN?! Aaaahhhhh you guys prepare your hearts for the next chapter! Aaahhhhhh *prepares tissue*
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry and Liam went to seaside to look for Zayn.The people are everywhere and its crowded.Once they've reached the part where there are less people, Harry's body began to feel weak as he slumped on the sand "Harry?" Liam alerted as he crouched down to Harry "Are you okay?" Liam asked concernedly. Liam look at Harry and he's crying, his shoulders shaking "Harry?""What if Josh is right Liam? What if Zayn is really inside in one those tents?" Harry cried even harder thinking about Zayn cheating. His heart shattered to pieces.Damn it Zayn! What are you doing to Harry?! He's so precious that he doesn't deserve this treatment! "If he really is, I'll break him" Liam muttered as he helped Harry to get up "Come on, I'll check the tents one by one" Liam sternly said as Harry wiped his tears.Liam suddenly feel angry towards Zayn. Sure, he is his best friend but he'd gone to far. Harry doesn't deserve to be treated this way. He's too precious to get hurt again. Liam and Harry went up to check the tents near the seaside. Harry trails behind Liam as Liam opened the tents one by one, not caring about to the people inside. Liam's hoping he won't see Zayn.When he reached the blue tent, Liam's heart pounded. He can feel a bad aura surrounding the tent. He composed himself, taking a deep breath and opened the tent and once he saw who are inside, his eyes widened and his heart beat fast "Liam?" Harry softly asked as he noticed that Liam suddenly froze. Harry looked inside the tent and suddenly he can't breathe and his heart just stopped for a second. There, inside the blue tent is Zayn with a woman, both lying naked.Harry gulped, he feels like all the weight of the world is on his shoulders. While Liam, his nostrils flaring and his skin prickled. Zayn opened his eyes as his head was pounding. He was still adjusting to his surroundings when he saw Liam, hand formed into fist. Zayn hadn't had a chance to utter a word since Liam already went inside the tent and punched him.When Bella wake up, she was shock seeing Zayn getting punched by a huge dude. She screamed and covered herself as Liam keeps on punching Zayn.Harry on the other hand is stunned. He is having trouble breathing as tears keeps on flowing from his eyes "You bastard!" Harry heard Liam said "What—" punch "—are" punch "—you—" punch "—doing to—" punch "—Harry?!" And some more punch. Zayn's nose is already bleeding from Liam's punches. Harry's entire body is trembling. He reached for his phone with shakey hands and dialed Louis number.Louis was at the dance floor, grinding at some blonde bimbo when he felt his phone vibrated. He looked at the caller and his eyes widened seeing Harry "Harry? Wait, I'll find some quiet place" Louis answered as he ran out of the dance floor and went near the seaside where the surroundings is quieter "Hey Harry, did you find him?""Take me out of here" Harry said in his shaky voice "Okay where are you?" Louis asked, he's having a bad feeling about this "At the tents, the bl—blue one. Za—Zayn, he's—he's—here" Harry is really crying.Louis didn't respond as he pocketed his phone and ran to the tents.Louis looked for the blue tent and when he did, he saw Harry, sitting on the sand with his knees up on his chest. Louis approached him but stopped when he saw Liam went out of the tent and helped Harry get up. Liam's hands are on Harry's arms, supporting him. Louis eyes widened when he saw Harry's eyes, he's crying again.Harry and Louis locked eyes as Harry slowly approached Louis. Without a word, Harry hugged Louis and cried on his shoulders.What the hell happened?!Louis looked at Liam who's face he can't decipher. He looked angry, pissed and disappointed "Harreh?!" Louis heard from the tent and when he saw Zayn got out, wearing only his boxers, Louis' blood boiling seeing Zayn topless and blood all over his face. Then Louis saw a woman behind Zayn who looked shocked and overwhelmed. Harry and Zayn looked at each other, locking their eyes together.And Zayn saw how Harry is broken.....again.What the hell did you do Zayn Malik?! Zayn's heart got torn to a thousand pieces seeing Harry broken because of him. Harry didn't say a word as he ran away. Followed by Liam.Louis glared at Zayn as he ran towards him and gave him a punch on the stomach and on his face "You son of a bitch!" Another punch "You monster! Stay away from Harry!" Louis spat as he ran, following Harry and Liam.Liam brought Harry to the bus stop. Harry can't stop crying. Why is Zayn doing this to him?! Is he not enough?! Is it because Harry can't give what Zayn wants? The lust, pleasure and sex?!Is Harry's love not enough to complete Zayn? Or to satisfy Zayn?! What's wrong with Harry that Zayn keeps on cheating on him? Harry's mind is filled with questions and because of that, his head is spinning and he feels like vomiting.Liam's heart is also broken. Broken seeing Harry. Harry's a good person. He's a person that needs someone who won't break his heart. Someone who'll love him truly. And Zayn is not that someone. He already damaged Harry. He already broke Harry a couple of times.Liam put his hand on Harry's shoulders, comforting Harry "Hey Man" Louis patted Liam's back "I'll take you guys home" Liam said "No Liam—" Harry sniffed "You've done enough, thank you. But Louis and I will take the bus" Harry said, his voice shaking "Yeah Man, thank you" Louis agrees as Liam nodded "You guys take care okay? Uhm give me a call when you're in your dorm" Liam then asked for Louis' phone as he gave his number and after that, he returned it to Louis "You guys take care. And Harry?" Liam called as Harry looks at with eyes puffy "Harry, there's nothing wrong with you okay? You're not the problem. Don't ever think that you're the problem in your relationship. Okay?" Liam said as Harry sniffed and slowly nod his head.Liam sadly smiled as he ruffled Harry's hair.Liam waited with them until the bus came and when it did, Harry and Louis bid good bye to Liam.// A/N: Ugh my chest hurts! Seriously this chapter broke my heart! I know I'm the writer and I sure anticipated this would happened but man, reading it made my heart ache! I remember the day someone did this to me and well, what I feel is what Harry felt in this chapter.Why Zayn?! Why did you do that to Harry? To the Sweet, innocent and pure Harry?! GOSH FUCKBOYS SHOULD ROT IN HELL! 😈Anyway, thank you for the reads, comments and for the vote!— the CAT xx
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn fucked up big time.Seeing Harry standing there, all eyes on Zayn and broken, Zayn wanted to kill himself. Zayn ran. Hoping to catch Harry but he was gone. All the punches that Liam and Louis gave is nothing compared to seeing Harry shattered and broken.Zayn feels that his heart had been taken away from his chest. He can't breathe and he feels like he's drowning. He went to the seaside as he yelled. Venting his pain. Venting everything. Shouting and saying he's sorry. He wanted to turn back time. He wishes that he'd just went to Harry's home and meet his Mom and his sister.Zayn grabbed a number of rocks and throw it on the water. He's frustrated, stressed, angry and disappointed with his self. How could he do that to Harry? His innocent, pure and beautiful Harry? He'd promised Harry that he won't do stupid things anymore and this happened.Zayn can't resist temptation.And maybe he didn't love Harry that much that he'd hurt him again. After throwing a dozen of rocks later, Zayn sat on the sand and wiped the blood off his face. He was also shock that Liam punched him. He never thought that his sweet best friend will throw a punch at him. Zayn wish he could be Liam—genuine, true, honest, faithful and loyal. If he's all that, then this wouldn't happened."You're a real bastard you know that?" Zayn looked up and saw Liam staring at the sea. Zayn then averted his gaze at the sea, he's so ashamed "What's wrong with you Zayn?! Why are you doing this to Harry? What did he ever done to you that you'll repay him like this?" Liam asked as Zayn didn't answered him "Harry's here because he wanted to apologize to you" Zayn's head shoot up "He wanted to say he's sorry for being childish at your fight" Liam added as Zayn gulped and bowed his head "He shouldn't be here" he mumbled as Liam shake his head "even if he's here or not, if you're faithful to your partner, you are faithful. And don't tell me it wasn't your intention. It is. You made a decision to hurt him. And now I believe that you don't deserve Harry" Liam said as he walked away.____________________________Harry doesn't know what to do.His heart is aching so much that he feels like dying. When they're back at the dorm, Harry went straight to his bed and covered himself with his duvet and cried. Pouring his heart out, all the pain and hatred. He keeps asking himself, what did he do wrong that he deserve this heartache?! All he did was cry and cry, and he wished that he had never met Zayn.While Louis, all he did was comfort Harry. That bastard Zayn, he doesn't deserve Harry at the first place. Louis known Harry for 8 years now and Harry doesn't deserve this kind of Love and treatment. He deserve real and true love.A love that will treat him right. Louis feels sorry for Harry. He doesn't want to see him broken. So broken compared to the first time that he cried.Harry's world just crumbled.All his memories with Zayn, they're all shattered.After how many hours later, Harry got up from his bed, grabbed the album and all the things that Zayn gave him and went to get a scissor. He then cut, shred and ruined all the things that Zayn gave—books, stuffed animals, their pictures together, some love letters and drawings that Zayn made. He's angry. He vented out all his anger to the things that Zayn gave. After shredding everything, Harry went back to his bed and cried some more._______________________When Zayn got back from the beach, he directly went straight to Harry. He knocked on his dorm many times but he got no answer."Hey?!" Zayn stopped knocking as he looked at the other room "What the hell are you doing man? Could you not disturb us?" The guy said who looked like he just woke up "Uhm sorry. But excuse me, do you know if someone is in here?" Zayn asked as The guy scratched the back of his head and yawned "Tomlinson and Styles? Saw them yesterday all packed, must be going to vacation or something" Zayn's heart beat fastHarry left?!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Harry went back to his hometown.He need a break. A break from all that happened. And maybe going home will be the best way to take his mind off things. When Harry went home, his Mom and his sister Gemma gave him a tight embrace as Harry cried on their shoulders, he'd missed them so much "Shush, you're okay now Love. You're okay" His Mom whispered.Harry told his Mom everything that has happened. His Mom comforted him and of course, Gemma hated Zayn. Nobody should treat Harry like that! Harry's a good person. A very good person. He also has flaws but over all, he's a good person. Harry cried and cried until his eyes can no longer pour out tears._____________________________Zayn locked himself on his apartment.All he did was drink alcohol. He can't sleep, eat and he'd been crying for days now. His apartment was trashed because he threw the things he can see at his apartment and beer bottles and can are everywhere.He hated his life.He hated being him.His phone ring as he immediately grabbed it, hoping it was Harry but seeing the caller, he groaned as he ignored the call. His phone stop ringing and after a few minutes, it ring again "fuck!" Zayn cursed as he grabbed his phone and threw it on the wall, the pieces got scattered all over.He needs some peace. He'd been depressed for days. Zayn is drowning himself with alcohol because he wanted to die slowly. To feel the pain that he gave to Harry. Zayn stood and went to his fridge. He opened his fridge as he rummaged for some beer. He grabbed a can and popped it open. He clogged the whole can as someone knocked. Hearing someone knocking, Zayn's whole body stilled and his eyes widened—could it be?! Could it be Harry?! Zayn threw the can somewhere as he ran towards the door "I'm coming Harry" Zayn huffed.He opened the door and his eyes almost popped out of his eyes unexpectedly seeing this person."What's up Zaynie?" Zayn stood straight and all the alcohol he drank just flew away seeing his brother "What are you doing here?!" Zayn muttered as his brother shake his head "Come to check on you. And good thing you're not yet dead" Zayn scoffed "now that you see me, You could go home now Rodger, I'm fine" Rodger smirked as he went inside Zayn's apartment.And yes, Zayn has a brother named Rodger Malik and he's a year older than Zayn.Rodger is the one that Zayn always calls when great news happens to his life—he always tells him about Harry but with everything that has happened on the beach, he shut his brother out and didn't told him about it. He feels shame and embarrassment that's why he didn't tell his brother.They're the gorgeous Malik brothers.Rodger is the one who keeps Zayn to school. He pay Zayn's tuition and every time Zayn fucks up, Rodger's the one to pick up the pieces. Rodger and Zayn almost look alike and for being almost close to identical, Rodger did change the way he dress so that people won't be confused if who's Rodger and who's Zayn.He has this bad boy image, with piercing and tattoos. He also wears black—always.Rodger has his own automotive shop. He likes to fix things. And this time, he wanted to fix his brother who looked like shit. Rodger then scanned Zayn's apartment "What the fuck dude, did some fucking whirlwind attacked you?" Rodger tsked as Zayn rolled his eyes "I don't want you here" Zayn said as Rodger looked at him. Zayn's face looked like he'd been deprived from everything. His eyes are puffy, he's now growing a beard, he has dark circles under his eyes and he got little thin "What did you do now that you looked like fucked?" Rodger asked as Zayn suppressed his tears, don't cry Zayn! Not in front of Rodger.Rodger heavily sighed "Did you and Harry have a fight?" Zayn's eyes looked at his brother as he can't hold back the tears. Zayn slumped through the floor as he cried, his shoulders shaking "I didn't—I didn't know why I'm like this" Zayn cried "He caught me. He caught me this time" Zayn added as Rodger eyes widened "What did you do Zayn?" Rodger asked.Zayn shake his head "He caught me, he caught me sleeping with someone" Zayn sniffed as Rodger is disappointed with his brother. Rodger stood in front of Zayn as he gently kicked him on his leg "Get up" Rodger said as Zayn slowly got up "You're stupid, you know that?" Zayn looked at his brother "I thought you love Harry? Why did you betray him?" Zayn cried "I—I don't—I was swept by the moment and the excitement—""Fuck the moment and excitement. You made the decision to cheat Zayn! Don't blame it on the 'moment' or whatever you'd thought that day" Rodger shouted "Zayn, Harry's a nice person. Why did you treated him like Trash?" Rodger asked "I love Harry, Rodger. I do. It's just that—I don't know. I'm looking for something that wasn't in him""You're looking for something that will satisfy your needs as a man" Rodger piped in "Then, your bases of love is about sex, is that it?" Zayn shake his head "I love him—""But not contented because he can't give you what you want and that's sex, right?" Rodger said as Zayn is slap with truth "Zayn, love is contentment. Even if he can't give you what you want, if you truly love that person, you'll wait no matter what. No matter how long" Rodger explained. Zayn stared at his brother.Zayn is happy when he's with Harry.Zayn did some adjustments on his life just for Harry but he wasn't contented with his sex life with Harry. Zayn promised that he'll wait but he can't wait. It was just all talk and he just realize all these now."I love him, I do. But I just can't wait that long" Zayn said as Rodger sighed "You're the problem here. You love him but can't wait. You've confused attachment to love" Rodger leaned at the couch "Love means, waiting. Because in the end, its all worth it. Attachment is not love. You just need someone to be there for you to not feel lonely. It also has the same effect to love but, attachment, you don't think about the worth. All you think about is getting what you want and that's what you did to Harry" Rodger patted Zayn's shoulder"Think about what you've done and atone your sins. Apologize to him. He deserve it" Rodger said and Zayn can't believe his brother is right.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn thought about what Rodger said. Apologize to Harry.But he doesn't know where he is or what's his address. And he can't wait till Harry gets back to school. That's too long. Zayn grabbed his laptop and looked for Harry. Maybe on his social media, he'll have the address. Zayn stalked all Harry's social media and there's nothing. Harry is too safe.Zayn was tapping his keyboard when his new phone ring. That's right, Zayn bought a new phone because his old one got busted because he threw it to the wall. Zayn looked at his phone and saw Rodger's name on the screen "Yeah?""I got Harry's address" Zayn's eyes widened. How did his brother got it?! "Great! How did you get it?!" Zayn asked "Your friend Niall. It seems that they're more closer than you are? Harry told him his plans when he goes home" Zayn scratched his head, he didn't think of Niall "Thanks Rodger" Zayn cleared his throat "I'll text you the address" Rodger said as Zayn hummed a yes "Uhm dude, could come with me?" Zayn politely asked as Rodger went quiet for a while "Dude?" Zayn is worried. He needs someone who'll back him up "Sure. Whatever. I'll see you" Rodger then hang up.Okay Zayn, it's time.______________________________Zayn and Rodger went to Harry's house.Zayn is so nervous that he'll melt and he doesn't understand what he's feeling right now, he feels like vomiting, fainting or he feels like his heart is about to explode! Rodger saw how troubled his brother is, so he put a hand on his shoulder as comfort "You can do this" Rodger assured as Zayn looks at him wide eyed as he gave out a shaky breath and nodded his head. They approached a cozy home with a blue door with a welcome sign on it. Zayn took a deep breath as he knocked and on the second knock, the door opened and Zayn's heart beat fast.A woman opened the door with green eyes like Harry's and she's smiling fully "Yes?" She asked as Zayn was stunned. This is bad idea, abort mission! The woman keeps on looking at Zayn and Rodger. Rodger elbowed Zayn as Zayn blinked "Uh—""Mom? Who is it?" Another woman came running from the stairs as she has the same green eyes as Harry. The woman's eyes widened seeing Zayn "You!" She pointed a hand as she glared at Zayn "What the fuck he's doing here?!""Gemma! Language" Anne said as Gemma wanted to punch Zayn. She stepped beside her Mom and glowers at Zayn "I'm looking for Harry" Zayn finally spoke "Harry doesn't want to see you! You fucker!""Gemma! Your mouth" Anne warned again as Gemma closed her mouth and glares at Zayn "I just want to talk with Harry—""Mom? Gem?" All of their eyes looked at Harry, coming down from the stairs. Zayn's heart thumped and his breathing hitched. Harry, he finally saw Harry and he looked so broken. Zayn wanted to cry, he did this to Harry "Mom, Gem, I can take it from here, Thanks" Harry softly said as Anne nodded and pulled Gemma with her further inside the house.Harry gulped seeing Zayn and upon seeing him, his heart ache. He feels so much pain. Harry composed his self as he face Zayn and when he looked at Zayn's back, there's a person, a man, this must be his brother. The one Zayn talked about—his Older brother Rodger. They really do look closely alike.Harry stepped outside as he closed the door. He stared at Zayn, eyes broken and empty "I'll wait in the car" Rodger whispered to Zayn giving him a comforting pat as he left.Both Zayn and Harry stood there in silence as Harry tried his very best supressing his tears "Harreh" Zayn started, reaching for his hand but Harry crossed his arms on his chest as Zayn's hands dropped on his sides.Zayn bit his bottom lip "You can do this Zayn, you can do this" Zayn thought "Harreh, I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry about what happened. I know, I screwed up again. I just, I want you back" Zayn said, tears falling from his eyes as he remembered what he had done. Harry just stared at him as he lets his tears rolled from his cheeks...so much for surpressing his tears but even though Harry's crying, he's looking at Zayn with his most serious expression "I'm sorry Harreh. I'm so, so sorry!" Zayn said again as his tears keeps on falling.Harry closed his eyes, as he wiped his tears and opened them, looking at Zayn "If only your sorry can bring back how happy we were. If only your sorry can take away the pain I feel right now, then maybe I'll go back to you" Harry said "What do you think we're doing Zayn? Is this a game to you? Do you think I'm a toy?""NO! This is not a game Harreh, I wasn't—""Then why do you keep on breaking me?! Why do you keep on deceiving me?" Harry barged in, his chest constricting and his body shaking from the pain "It's not my intention to hur—""Not. Your. Intention? Really? You decided to cheat Malik! You decided to sleep with that woman!" Harry's voice raised "And here I thought that we both feel the same way. Well, I thought wrong because all this time, I was the only one who's genuine and true" Harry took a deep breath and inhaled—exhaled "I'm sorry but I can't forgive you right now. I'm so angry and I hate you and all I wish right now is that—I wish I hadn't met you" Harry said as his tears can't stop falling.He gave Zayn a one last look until Harry opened their door and went inside, leaving Zayn outside, crying.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Zayn's heart shattered to pieces. That was the most painful word that Harry said—Wishing he hadn't met Zayn.Rodger took Zayn back to the apartment. He stayed for a while, watching his brother crying and throwing a havoc. Rodger don't want to say that he deserve it but—he deserves it.Harry is a precious gem.Why would Zayn do that to him? Zayn cried and cried until he fell asleep. Rodger left Zayn, locking his apartment. Rodger sighed. His brother is an idiot. He wasn't thinking on doing things. He wasn't thinking of what might happen next if he'll do this or that.After weeks of moping and being miserable, second semester started.Zayn wasn't in the mood to attend his classes and Rodger had been with Zayn. To make sure he's not gonna kill himself after that has happened. After Rodger closes his shop, he always checks on Zayn if he's still alive. And good thing he is.Rodger is thankful that he only caught Zayn staring at an empty space and not killing himself. Rodger forced Zayn to get up and attend his classes but it's no use. He's too broken. Days later, Rodger went to Zayn's professors to inform them that Zayn was sick. He need to lie in order to get handouts.After Rodger got all his handouts he stroll the Uni. So this what college kids looks like. They all looked fucked. Rodger didn't bother going to college. At the age of 10, Rodger asked their stepdad to teach him how to repair cars. Their stepdad taught Rodger to fix cars and took over their stepdad's business which is the automotive repair shop. Rodger works while Zayn studies. What else does he needs?He was about to put on his headphones when he saw Harry, walking like a zombie.Rodger was about to put his left headphones on when he heard an honking sound. He's eyes immediately landed at Harry and he was about to get hit by the honking car! Rodger acted fast as he ran towards Harry and grabbed him by his elbow and pulled him out of the street.Harry landed on his butt as Rodger crouched down to him "Hey, Harry? Harry! You okeh?" Rodger gently shake him as Harry shake his head and stared at Rodger and seeing those brown eyes and tan skin, Harry jolted "Stay away!" Harry shouted as the students suddenly stopped and looked at Harry and Rodger. Harry blinked a few times and he face palmed realizing that it was Rodger who held him and not Zayn "I'm sorry" Harry said "I'm sorry, Rodger" he repeated "I thought you're Zayn" Harry mumbled as Rodger's expression softened. Rodger reached for Harry's arm and helped him get up "Are you alright?" He asked as Harry didn't answered him but took his hand anyway "Come on, let's get out of here. People are staring" Rodger said once Harry's already up. Both of them then walked out of the Uni as Rodger led Harry outside."I'm really sorry I shouted at you Rodger, I really thought you were Zayn" Harry softly said as Rodger and him are at the cafe near the uni. Rodger and Zayn really do look alike except, Rodger has a mature looking face compared to Zayn's and he has a goatee unlike Zayn who only has small stubble on his chin.After the incident, Rodger brought Harry at cafe. Not the cafe where Niall works, its a different one that's just beside the Uni and its The cafe where Rodger first saw Harry.Yes, Rodger and Harry already crossed paths and Rodger won't deny that Harry is attractive. When he first met Harry, they bumped at each other when Rodger opened the Door for him. Harry smiled politely at Rodger and because of his smile, Rodger concluded that Harry is beautiful. In fact, he can't stop staring at him. And when Rodger heard that Zayn already has a boyfriend and even showed him the photo, Rodger's breath hitched seeing Harry.Rodger didn't interrupt their relationship but instead, he supported Zayn and he can see that Zayn was happy with Harry. But when Rodger heard what Zayn did, he wanted to punch to his brother that his soul will come out. But he didn't because he loves his brother.Harry is too pure to be treated like shit. He'd put up with Zayn's shit and Rodger concludes that this man sitting opposite to him is a good person and too good to be with Zayn."I uh—I'm sorry what about happened between you and Zayn" Rodger said as Harry looked at his hands on his lap "Yeah" Harry mumbled "I wanted to ask if you're okay but I can see that you're not so—I won't ask" Rodger said as Harry nodded "I'm okay. I'm gonna be okay" Harry said as his lips quivered.He's about to cry again!Harry took a deep breath as he forced smile "Thank you for saving me earlier Rodger and I'm gonna be alright" Harry said as he stood "Excuse me" he said as he left the cafe. Rodger also stood as he ran and catch up to Harry.He followed Harry, just to make sure that he won't get killed or get into any accidents because he's mind is off somewhere.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It's been weeks.Harry and Zayn are still not talking. Every time Zayn and Harry bumped into each other at school, Harry would ran away or would ignore Zayn.They're ghosting. Zayn's heart is cracking every time he saw Harry. His green eyes broken and Zayn can feel that he's really in pain.Harry swear that he will never speak to Zayn. He'd promised himself that whatever Zayn will do, he won't give in. Zayn had hurt him enough.Harry do love Zayn but Harry loves himself more.He knows that he doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Zayn tried convincing Harry to forgive him but Harry ignores him. Zayn serenaded Harry but got ignored, also gave him flowers but Harry just left them outside his dorm. Zayn also stood outside Harry's dorm, waiting for him to speak to him but still, no use.Harry is still angry with him and every time he sees Zayn, he remembers that day when Zayn cheated on him. He's still hurting. So whatever Zayn does, he won't get Harry back.Graduation is around the corner as Harry focused himself to his classes and exams. He wanted to graduate on time as he tried his best to forget Zayn and divert his attention to something else. Rodger on the other hand helps Zayn get his shit together, especially now that Graduation is coming. Zayn needs to finish his college. But Zayn isn't helping himself because all he did was mope around and be miserable.Zayn attended his classes but his mind is flying elsewhere. Rodger also watch over Harry. He wanted to make sure that he's not in danger. Rodger feels that it's his responsibility to watch over Harry because after all, it is his brother's fault that Harry is absent minded sometimes.Graduation came and thankfully, Zayn and Harry both graduated on time. Rodger is so happy that Zayn finished his studies—even though he's depressed.Harry is also happy that he'd survived four years of college.After all the hard work, late nights of studying and brain crackling research papers, Harry finally received his diploma. Both him and Louis are so happy. After graduation, Harry was embraced by his Mom and Gemma "Congratulations!" Gemma squealed as Harry grinned. They've embraced for a while and after that, let go "Welcome to Adulthood Harry" Gemma teased "Gemma!" Louis called as Gemma spun and smiled at Louis "Who would've thought that you'll made it Lou" Gemma said as Louis playfully rolled his eyes "Of course. Thanks to Harry who helped me get by" Louis gave Harry a fist bump.Anne and Gemma took Harry back to his dorm. After taking him back, they bid their goodbyes to Harry and Louis because they'll be seeing Harry back at their house after Harry finished packing his stuff from his dorm. After they left, Louis grinned at Harry "What?" Harry asked "Victory party at the frat house. Liam invited us" Louis said "You know I hate parties" Harry muttered "And besides, Zayn might be there. I don't want to see him" Harry added as Louis pouted "I'll tell Liam to ban Zayn then" Louis fetched his phone ready to text Liam when Harry stopped him "Louis, I'm not joking. I don't want to go. Just enjoy" Harry responded as Louis stares at him for a while and then sighed. He pocketed his phone "Okay I won't...but you sure you won't come?" Louis asked again taking off his toga and placing it on his bed as Harry nodded his head.Ever since everything that had happened between Zayn and Harry, Harry had been distant lately and he likes to be alone. Louis then nod "I'll see you Harry" Louis wave a hand and was about to get out of the dorm when— "Louis!" Harry called as Louis went back "Yeah?""Please don't drink too much" Harry said smiling a little as Louis chuckled "Sure" Louis answered ans said his goodbye to Harry as he left for the Alpha sigma—Rho house.Harry then gave a sigh and took off his black toga and put it on his desk. He sighed again and stared at the boxes with his things already inside. He'll be leaving and he'll surely miss this room. It's been a great four years. Harry settled on his bed as he lied down and scrolled down on his social media. So he finally graduated college and it's been a hell of a ride.Especially meeting Zayn.Harry smiled remembering their first meeting. The way Zayn made an effort just to get Harry and the way Zayn made him happy. But when he remembered the time he got cheated, his mind instantly gets clouded by anger "Stop thinking about him Harry" Harry said to himself as he groaned.After a few minutes of being alone, Harry's eyes drooped, he's falling asleep when he heard a knock on the door. Harry's body sat on his bed as he looked at the door "You forgot something Lou?" Harry said, yawning. The person behind the door didn't answer as It keeps on knocking so Harry went on the door and opened it. Upon seeing the person from the door, His heart pounded like crazy seeing Zayn "Hey" Zayn shyly greeted as Harry stared at him.Harry was about to close the door when Zayn blocked it by his hand "Harreh, please" Zayn pleaded as Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath.Okay, he'll talk to Zayn.He needs to have this closure.Harry composed himself as he opened the door and face Zayn "Take me to the cliff" Harry said sternly as Zayn was confused at first and realized that Harry wanted him to take him to their sanctuary. So Zayn just nodded his head and didn't argued.Zayn drove them to the cliff and just like the first time they rode together, Harry is silent. When they've reached the cliff, Zayn stopped his truck and got out. They went to the hood of Zayn's truck and stare at the city lights. Zayn glanced at Harry, he's still so beautiful as always, evn though he's eyes lost it sparkle.Zayn cleared his throat "Congratulations" Zayn softly said as Harry face Zayn "You too, Zayn" Harry said and its Zayn's time to face Harry. Harry took a deep breath as he calmed himself.He needs to officially end this.He's tired of hiding and running away from Zayn. He's tired of feeling the pain everytime he sees him and he wanted to move on and having this closure will end it all. Having this closure will let Harry move on. Zayn opened his mouth to speak first "Listen Harry—""Zayn, stop" Harry interrupted Zayn as Zayn immediately shut his mouth "We're here because I want to tell you that—" Harry inhaled and exhaled "We're over. We're done. Since I saw you at the beach, I've decided to break up with you" Harry said as Zayn's heart cracked and without any warning, Harry's eyes then gave out tears and "So stop chasing me, or stop whatever you're doing to get back to me because we're done" Harry's voice is starting to crack "I may not forgive you now but someday, I hope I will. There's still a lot of Pain Zayn, it's so hard to take it away" Harry cried as Zayn wanted to held him in his arms.Look what you've done to him, Zayn! You've broken the most precious jewel you've found."I'm sorry if I can't forgive you right now. I'm sorry" Harry said repeatedly as Zayn take hold of his cheek as he made Harry face him "Don't say you're sorry Harreh. I'm at fault here and I will never stop saying sorry for what I did to you" Zayn softly said as Harry didn't pushed him away but instead, he leaned on Zayn's touch "I'm sorry I've caused you so much Pain Harry, I'm sorry" Zayn then rested their foreheads together as Zayn started crying too "I love you Harry, I won't forget you. The man who made me believe that true and genuine love still exist" Zayn whispered with sincerity as Harry sobbed.After they moment at the cliff, Zayn respected Harry's decision. Zayn took him back to his dorm without saying anything once they've reached Harry's dorm. Harry mumbled his thank you to Zayn and stepped out of his truck.After that, Zayn went home and when he reached his apartment, he'd cried so hard. He'd just lost someone who had loved him truly.And that's the biggest regret he'll have to live with.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Next stop is adulthood.After graduation, Harry went home to his Mom and Gemma to spend his time with them. After spending his time with his family, Harry went job hunting. He's picking his self up after his break up with Zayn. The love he gave to Zayn made him stronger now. His heart has been slowly healing and everyday, the pain that Zayn gave slowly fades.As for Zayn, he'd been slowly making progress with his life too. He applied to one of the top art industry in the country and thankfully, he was hired as a mural artist. Zayn is happy. But it's not the same happiness when he's with Harry. Yes, he never forgets Harry, and he doubt that if he'll ever forget about him. Harry was the guy that he deeply fell in love with and Zayn won't be able to find someone like him—pure, innocent, sweet and genuinely gives love to the people around him. Zayn just let go of a diamond.After how many months of job hunting, Harry finally got a job! He is so happy and so excited to start his life as an accountant at one of the biggest banks in the city.He fetched his phone and saw a notification on his inbox. He opened it and smiled seeing who texted. Harry can't stop smiling as he replied. After his reply, a minute past, his phone ring. Harry's smile got even broader that his dimples are showing as he saw who called "Hi" Harry shyly said, answering the phone "I've missed you, are you done?" the person from the other line asked as Harry can't supressed his giggle "I've missed you too Babe. And yes, I'm done" Harry responded "Great! I'll see you at dinner then? I'll just finish my work and then I'll get off" Harry hummed a yes "Okay, I'll see you. I love you""Oh don't forget, the reservation is under my name. I love you too Harreh. Kissy kissy!" Harry chuckled "Okay, got it! Kissy! Bye" Harry hang up and went on his way.Harry went home to his apartment first to freshen up.After picking what clothes to wear, he sprayed his cologne and looked at his self at the mirror before going out. He smiled while walking towards the restaurant, he'd missed him so much. His been busy with work lately and this is the time that he'll spend his time with him. As Harry reached the Vas Happenin' resto, the doors opened and he went inside.The Hostess smiled at Harry "Hi, Table for two for Mr Malik?" Harry said as the Lady smiled as she checked her computer "Yes. Actually, your date is already here. Please come with me" the Hostess then led Harry to the table.Harry's heart thumped, after all that has happened, Harry finally got his happiness back "Here you are, enjoy" The hostess said as Harry thanked her.Harry's heart beat fast seeing his date for tonight who looked handsome as ever.Harry took his seat as he smiled "A rose for you" Harry's smile got even broader, his dimples showing. He stared at those Hazel eyes that he'd missed so much "Thank you Rodger" Harry take hold of the rose as Rodger stared at Harry.He's beautiful as ever.After everything that has happened, Rodger Malik fell in love with Harry Styles.He wasn't expecting that he'll fall deeply with Harry. At first, he thought he was just attracted to him but as time goes by, watching Harry from afar, he fell in love. But of course, he'd made sure that Harry had fully move on from Zayn. He made sure that he's not just a rebound—especially that Zayn and him are brothers and they're closely look alike.Rodger approached Harry when he saw him near his shop. He asked if how he's doing and that's where everything started. They've become friends and Harry gets to know Rodger deeper. About his life, growing up with Zayn and being a bad boy. A lot of people feared Rodger since they judge Rodger base on his looks. That's why when Harry smiled at him at the cafe, his heart just jumped right away. And Rodger knew that he was an Angel. Rodger may be a bad boy but deep down, he's just made of cotton candy. And upon getting to know Rodger, and they've been close, Harry confessed that he likes Rodger, as more than a friend.Rodger was happy when Harry confessed that he likes him. Rodger didn't say a word first but couldn't resist Harry and told him that he likes him too. And when they've become official, Rodger made Harry fall in love with him everyday.He serenades him, give him flowers, spend date nights and of course, always there for Harry when he's needed. And Rodger, there's no question that he's loves Harry so much. He fell in love even Harry is just doing simple things for him.Harry also tried his best not falling for Rodger since he's Zayn's brother. At first, Harry thought that he's the same as Zayn but when he got to know him deeper, Harry's view on Rodger had changed and he's indeed far from Zayn. Rodger has somewhat qualities like Zayn's: the way they're caring and thoughtful but the only qualities that Zayn doesn't have and Rodger has are honesty, loyalty and faithfulness to their partner.Everything happens for a reason. We meet the wrong people to lead us to the right one. Zayn met Harry and Harry was led to Rodger.And that's how Harry got his happiness back.
