"Is Harry in some danger?" He asked. 

He understood why Ilyas was concerned. Zayn had told him to guard Harry closely. Keep an eye on him all the time and pay closer attention to find anything odd. So, if something happen, Zayn wanted to be prepared so he could protect Harry. 

It seemed like danger followed the people he loved everywhere. Maybe he was bad luck. 

"He might be, I don't know. I'll take over now. You may go rest." He told him.

Ilyas nodded. "I'll take my leave then." He said standing up and just like him, he vanished into smoke. 

Zayn leaned back on the couch, he doesn't know what was going to happen but his fear was losing Harry. To fail to protect the person he loved, again. 


"Zayn!" Suddenly Heaven shrieked his name, startling him. 

Within a second, he was by Harry's side. 

He had sleepy eyes, almost closed as he sat on his bed, hands led out as to touch something or maybe find him. Zayn just stood there as he watch Harry closely with a little smile tagging on his lips.


"Zayn!" Harry again called out, still not affair about his presence. He open his eyes as he felt him, Zayn walked closer to him and hugged him close to his heart. Harry snuggles into his chest as silence falls upon them. In the silence, Harry's stomach growled loudly.  Zayn could feel him shrink in his arms. He was embarrassed. 

"Let's eat," Zayn said before picking him up with ease. 

Harry was surprised. "What are you doing?" He asked as Zayn carried him to the dining room. "I can walk." 

"And I can carry you." Zayn said simply. 

When they arrived at the dining room, Zayn sat him down on a chair. Harry still looked tired. Even the little moment he was asleep, he wake up feeling alone.  

Zayn ordered his maid to bring the food as they set and waited for it. In mean time she bring the food and soon they dig in.


"Thank you. I am starving." Harry admitted. 

"How was your mission?" He asked while they waited. 

Harry smiled. "I thought I failed, but maybe I didn't." He shrugged. "I regret nothing. I learned a lot, but I don't think father is proud." 

"I am sure he is. But he is a father. Being worried comes before being proud." 

Having been a father himself, Zayn could understand Lucian.

Harry sighed. "I hope so." He said then he looked at him as if remembering something. 

"You wanted to tell me something." He reminded. 

Zayn looked at him closely. She was still hurt, so he didn't know if it would be good to bring up Rose now, but maybe this would allow him to talk about it instead of keeping it all to himself. 


"Yes. There was a woman who came here. Her name was Rose. She was sent as a gift. I sent her back." He said. 

He didn't want to go into details that would make Harry uncomfortable. He just wanted him to know that he wasn't keeping it a secret. 

"You know who sent her." Harry said looking down at his hands. "You don't have to be kind and hide it." 

He was not kind. He made Rose tell the truth, which caused a fight between them. Even if he did it to prevent a bigger fight, that might unable their friendship from ever being restored, Harry was hurt at the moment. 

"Yes I know, but I was not kind. I don't like your friend. I don't like him near you, I don't like him touching you and treating you the way he did. I don't like him disrespecting you. He might be your friend, but you are my man. I hate to see you mistreated."

He was not an angel. It would be a lie to say Zarin's actions didn't upset him. The only reason he endured and stayed respectful was that Harry called him a friend. Had he been someone else, he would have made him crawl. 

Harry looked at him, surprised. Maybe because of the way he spoke. He was not the type to let his emotions control his speech, but this time he let it out. 

"I still think you are kind." Harry finally said.
