Best Friends (A Ziall Fanfic/BoyxBoy)

Chapter 1

^__________^

Friday night came and I’m glued to my seat in front of the computer trying to finish my assignment in College Algebra.”Thank God It’s Friday” as they say but this night is definitely not one of those nights which people pertain to as a good thing. I have to finish and pass it before the deadline, which was tomorrow afternoon. And I’m not even near to drawing it to a close! It’s freaking hell! Although I’m hopeless in finishing the assigned task in time, I eagerly tried with all my power even if it takes me till morning to end it. It’s better than to get a failing grade, you know.

I sighed as I willed myself not to sleep until I’m done. I’m punching random letters on the keyboard when suddenly I heard the door open. I turned around from my dreadful assignment to face the door.

“Zayn? Is that you?” I asked as a familiar stature appeared and stumbled on the floor. For the first time since I’ve arrived at the apartment that night that I took off from my seat and immediately rushed towards the living room. Yep, it was Zayn. And he was a mess! He laid flat on the floor looking like shit.

“Hey! Are you okay?” I asked him as he let out sounds which were hardly understandable. He smelled like alcohol. It was 11:50 in the evening and I bet he was out partying again living the essence of T.G.I.F.

“Are you drunk?” I scolded him but he seemed to not care and rolled off the floor then tried to get up but failed to do so. He stumbled for the second time recklessly. I’m surprised that with the condition he have, he managed to find our apartment and made it inside successfully (well, not really, considering the stumbling and all).

“Here, let me help you.”

I wrapped his right arm around my shoulder and I held myself under it in order to push him up while my other hand grabbed a hold of his waist. I could feel his hard physique leaning against my body, an evidence of his hard work at the gym. His arms were so powerful and his torso was like flawless. With all my might I carried him towards his bed. I panted as I finally dropped him onto the mattress. The guy was heavy (whew)!

I was about to pull away but then he suddenly wrapped his arms around me and rolled me to his side. We were lying there in an embrace, face to face. It was a shocking act that it made me speechless. I have never shared a bed with him before and had never been beside him like that, embraced and wrapped in his arms protectively yet tenderly. Sure, we had exchanged multiple hugs before but this time it kinda felt different. I blinked simultaneously as I looked at him and at the same time, comprehending what was happening. We were so close that I could smell his breath and hear his breathing. Yes, he smelled like booze but his scent never left him. I could still smell his aroma amongst the stink of the alcohol lingering around him and once again, that same odor brought me to heavens. I stared at him as I observed his features for the first time in this distance. He was so beautiful! Although he had his eyes closed, the same striking face was displayed before me.

I have never been this close to him before, never.

And it was like we were about to kiss.
