Zayn rushed to his class before lunch, and sat in the back. He was surprised when he was the only one there, but shrugged it off.

He got his notepad, and a pencil. He doodled some of his favorite marvel characters on it.

The class finally started, but he wasn't paying too much attention to the teacher. He was caught up in his own little world, and didn't even catch himself drawing Harry as a superhero.

He blushed at himself, closing his notepad, and looked up at the teacher.

Finally, the bell rang, signaling lunch. Zayn sighed, getting up. He packed up his stuff, and ended up being the last one out of the classroom.

He looked at his map, and made his way to the lunch room. He wasn't planning on sitting with Harry. He wanted to slip away, and maybe sit with Louis, but of course..He has no luck.

His face collides, with what feels like, a brick wall. He ended up stumbling, and falling on his butt. He looked up to see none other then Harry. Great.

Harry frowned slightly, and offered a hand to Zayn, which he denied. He got up by himself, which made Harry's frown grow.

"Sorry mate. Maybe I can make it up to you..Buy you lunch?" Harry finally said, replacing his frown with a smile.

Zayn wanted to say no, he wanted to be responsible for himself, but his father always says; 'don't pass up free food' so Zayn nodded.

Harry grinned wide, and took hold of Zayn wrist, dragging him to the lunch line. Harry stopped, making Zayn bump into him, again, and fall, again.

Harry had to control himself from laughing, and once again offered a hand. Zayn took his hand this time, and Harry pulled him up with one swift movement.

"Thanks." Zayn mumbled, very embarrassed. Harry chuckled. "You're very clumsy." Harry grinned. Zayn nodded, and smiled up at him.

"C'mon, what do you wanna eat?" Harry asked, once they got up to the front. "Hamburger and water." Zayn said. Harry smiled, and ordered his and Zayn's food, which he quickly got.

Now usually, Harry would go sit with friends, but by seeing Zayn, he knew he wasn't much of a social type, so he went to a table in the back.

They both sat down, and there was instant awkward silence. Harry slowly chewed his food, while technically eye raping Zayn.

Zayn took a sip of water, his eyes never meeting Harry's. Finally, Harry broke the silence. "So new to town, or..?"

Zayn looked up and shrugged. "I used to go to the school the next town over, but my parents moved a little closer for work." Harry nodded. "That's cool..Welcome, by the way."

Zayn smiled, and went back to his food.

Harry found it very hard to make conversation with the smaller lad, but something made Harry want to learn more.

"Would you like to go out after school? I know this excellent candy shop." Harry said, wiggling his eyebrows. Zayn only shrugged in response. He seemed to ponder off to an unknown world.

Why do you look like that?" Zayn blurted out, but quickly regretted it. His parents always say to mind your own business. "M'sorry...I um...we-" Zayn tried to apologize right away, but Harry cut him off.

"It's alright..I'm a badboy. So you know...I guess that is why I look this way." Harry shrugs. "But..why? Do you like it?" Zayn continued questioning.

"Yeah. I love all my tattoos, and the fact that no one will harm me or the ones around me. Yeah, being feared sometimes sucks, but eh.." Harry says, smiling slightly.

"Enough about me..why do you look like that?" Harry mocked, making Zayn giggle and snort.

"I've always loved comics and superheroes, I would love to make a comic one day..but ya'know....Anyway, I'm a bit obsessed with marvel.." Zayn trailed off.

"That's geeky, but cute. About the candy shop...You up for it?" Harry asked again.

"Sure I guess..I'll have to ask my parents..but yeah.." Zayn said. Harry smiled wide, and the two ate in silence, until the bell rang.

Harry met Zayn after school. "What did your parents say?" Harry asked, walking with Zayn to his car. "yeah..I can go." Zayn said, only slightly above a whisper.

"Great, let's go, yeah?" Harry replied, smiling. He went over to the passenger side door of his 2013 Camaro. He opened it for the young lad, and Zayn got in smiling.

Harry got into the driver side, and started the car with one swift turn. They drove in silence, with low music playing in the background.

Finally, they got to this small strip-mall. There was this cute sign that said 'Junni's Candy' Zayn smiled, and walked into the shop with Harry.

They walked in, and a small bell rang, and two people greeted the boys. Harry went to the counter, with Zayn following closely behind him.

"So anything catching your eye? They have pastries, ice-cream, and of course candy." Harry informed.

Zayn spotted skittles and sour heads, and instantly pointed at them. Harry nodded, and asked for some of those. "Anything else?"

Zayn pointed at some gummy bears, and chocolate balls. Harry chuckled at Zayn's cuteness, before ordering some more candy.

Once they got their candy, they took a seat in the back of the shop. Zayn ate his candy with a wide smile on his face, and so did Harry.

"So Zayn...What do you do in your free time?" Harry questioned. "Draw, and read comics..." Harry frowned, so far they had nothing in common.

"Oh cool...Do you like skateboarding?" Harry asked again. "No."

"What about parties?" "No."

"Do you cooking, or baking?" "No."

"What about basketball?." "No."

Harry sighed in defeat. He needed to have something in common with Zayn. "So you like superheroes?"

"Yes." Harry wanted to rip Zayn's head off at that moment. Out of all the 'no' Zayn finally says 'yes' to something he knows nothing about.

"Great." So now Harry makes it his mission to learn more about superheroes, and win the Marvel geek's heart
