Zayn whined as they were woken up at six in the morning by their closest friends Noah. ” C'mon Zee, we have to get going or we’re going to be late like last time.”The blonde spoke while also shaking them by the shoulder so they didn’t fall asleep while he was talking to them.
“Go away noah, it's too early for this” they groaned aloud, reaching over and hitting him with one of their pillows. Unlike the blue haired teen Noah was someone who enjoyed being up and active in the morning, always trying to drag Zayn into his morning shenanigans. He always tried to bring them on walks, hikes, along with trying to get them to go to the gym in the morning with him.
They rolled over and glared up at the blue eyed teen” alright, im up im up” they yawned and sighed with relief when he stopped shaking them. “God I hate you sometimes..” they grumbled the last part so that Noah didn't hear what they had actually said to him.
“Hm? What was that?” the blonde questioned, looking over his shoulder at the teen who was still laying in their bed instead of getting up like they said they would.
“Nothing, anyway I'm going to shower first.. My bags are already packed, they're by the front door in the living room..” They yawned again as they stretched. Zayn got out of bed and grabbed some clothes from their closet to change into after their shower.
“ Alright, I'll start packing everything into the car then.. Don't take too long or I'll turn off the water again” Noah warned. Other than not being a morning person zayn hated the cold, not as much as they hated the heat but they still hated it. After about twenty minutes they finally got out of the shower and got dressed into a pair of black jeans, a grey tank top, a black beanie they always wore that Noah had gotten for them years ago along with one of Noah's hoodies because they couldn't find one of their own.
After getting dressed and helping Noah pack the last of the things into the car they made their way back into the house and made themselves a coffee in a to go mug, if they had to be up this early the least they could have is their morning coffee with them.
“Really?” Noah said half sarcastically to them when they walked out of the house with the coffee in hand. He didn’t care that they drank coffee or other caffeinated drinks but he was concerned with the amount that they tended to drink.
“ you’re the one who woke me up this early, this ones on you here buddy” They huffed as both of them climbed into the car, the blonde sitting in the passenger seat. Zayn was going to do the first half of the seven hour trip and Noah was going to take over when they swapped over at about halfway.
“ Fair enough” He wasn't going to argue with them at this hour seeing as they were the ones driving as well.
Time Skip -
Zayn pulled over at the servostation, they had been driving for about three and a half hours without stopping, focused on the road even when taking sips of their coffee which was starting to get pretty cold and gross now. When they pulled over they looked over at the blue eyed teen, only to find him curled up asleep in the passenger seat of the car. They smiled softly to themselves and took a quick picture of the beautiful sleeping teen beside them. Zayn had developed a crush on their friend a few years ago now but never said anything about it to him because they thought that he didn't feel the same about them in that way at all. But little did they know it was very far from the truth.
Noah began to wake up not long after is friend had taken the photo of him sleeping, yawning and rubbing his eyes in a failed attempt to wake up more “if you want i can continue driving so you can sleep a bit longer, i don't mind man” they offered to the older and still half asleep teen, who seeing as he just woke up was still pretty tired for the time being.
