Once in a lifetime

Chapter 16 2/5

"What's a Zarry?" Zayn asked, because no one had had the delicacy of explaining the name mixed up thing they did. It caused all four other lads to snort, and he looked at Harry bemused.

"Don't mind them, baby. Looks like they got Liam into it and m' sorry about it. S' just a thing we have, we kind of combine our names to make them like a couple thing. Like, um, Louis and Niall for example are Nouis. Annoying as fuck. Ni and I, Narry, and so on." Harry said, still not going further into Zarry.

"Yeah, we have Larry here, but they fight more than anything so is not like we can pair them much. And now we have two more people so we can add to our list. We have some cool ones already. Lilo is my favourite. They are so similar that if they were into guys, they'd make a perfect couple." Ni added.

"I take it as Liam and Louis? Sounds about right. So Zarry is us, babe? We have a nickname already?"

"Yeah, we do, thanks to Niall and Lou, but don't mind them, Z. They are just jealous."

"Hey!" the two mentioned said and Zayn laughed.

"I see where this couple-y thing comes from, they even sound like one. Nouis is a real thing. No more than Zarry, yeah? We'll always beat their arses, babe. And we get to have amazing sex."

Many things happened at the same time. Harry squealed, Liam almost spits his lungs laughing, Niall shot his mouth, processing what Zayn said, and Lou was the only one to manage to let words out.

"Oi, oi, oi, lad. I don't need the mental picture. That's proper rude. I was trying to avoid the whole Harold is having sex again thing with Ele, why would you bring it back now talking about boners?"

"Because he is hot as hell, Louis. And sure as my name is Zayn that our sex's gonna be mind-blowing every fucking time we do it." Zayn replied, with a smug smile on his face, taking a piss of Louis who did it earlier to him. Meanwhile, Harry was hiding his face on Zayn's neck like a betrayed schoolgirl.

"Z...Baby...Don't tell'em that! They'll be asking me later about it. I can't handle that alone!"

"You call me and put me on speaker and we both talk, yeah? I won't ever let you alone, honey."

"Okay, yeah. I'll do that. Thank you, angel."

"This are the biggest saps I've ever heard. So cheesy and you've been dating what, a week?"

"Shuddup, Leyum. Let's all go to grab something for dinner, shall we?" Zayn said, knowing Li was right but he meant well. Zayn could see it in the eyes of his best mate, he was happy to see him opening.

They all left to the closest restaurant they could find that didn't need reservation. Luckily enough, it was a vegetarian place so Harry could feed himself too, he was starving. He had been too nervous before.

When the waitress left, they made a quip about Harry not eating meat and he innocently replied, "The only meat I have recently eaten is the one Zayn gave me, just because it was him." Four plain faces stared at him. Zayn gave him a shit-eating grin, his classic. The other guys just started laughing and that's when Harry realised what he had just said.

"Oh, for fuck's sake, mate! That's not what I meant, perves! Even if it was, is none of your business!" Harry cried laughed at them. He was done, he wasn't going to fix it, so he stopped. Zayn was not upset anyway, that was all Harry cared about.

"Don't worry, babe. I know you'll only eat what I feed you, yeah?" Cocky Zayn was new to Harry, but he kind of like it. It was a new version for him to discover and enjoy. Zayn was a sweet, beautiful creature.
