You (Zarry AU)💚💛

You made me so happy

They were talking about the project until lunchtime.

"I think I got all that I need to start, so, I'll be here tomorrow night with my team," Liam said. "Very good ideas Harry. Niall, you should give this guy a raise or so," he continued chuckling.

"Of course, of course. We'll see. Can you stay for lunch?" Niall said smiling at him.

"Alright, yes. We need to talk. Erm, define some final details and all," Liam said.

"Good, if you don't need me for anything else. I'll go to see Reina, I've been absent a while. See you, Mr. Payne, Niall," Harry said nodding at them.

"Nice to meet you, Harry," Liam said. "You have a lot of explaining to do Horan. Let's go to lunch, you're buying," he continued exiting the room.

They went to a closer restaurant and after ordering their food Liam started questioning.

"I'm assuming Zayn doesn't know anything about this?" He said.

"No, I haven't told him. I need to know a couple of things first," Niall said sipping his wine.

"Does Harry know that Zayn is the owner of the store where he works?" Liam continued.

"Of course not. I mentioned a partner, a silent partner, so he thinks I'm the only owner, that's why you can't mention him. Listen, this was a total happenstance. Reina hired him and after I met him and put some information together I realized was Zayn's... lost love. Y'know?" Niall explained.

"Man, this is a weird twist of fate. Zayn is happy overseas, he has a career and a fiancé. Don't mess with that," Liam said.

"Zayn is not happy, I know him. He... misses Harry. He never mentions it but, I know he does," Niall said as the waiter put his spaghetti in front of him.

"Zayn man, are you sure that's the way to handle things? Leave? To another country?" Liam tried to reason with him while he was packing a few things in a backpack and a duffel bag.

"Yes, Liam. I... I'm done. After what we said to each other, I'm just... done," Zayn said. Liam nodded.

"At least, I dunno. Wait a little, don't rush into things..." Liam said.

"No, if I ever saw him again, I wouldn't be able to leave Liam," Zayn said packing his last few things.

"Alright, mmh, let me drive you to the airport at least," Liam offered.

"It's okay. I can get a cab," Zayn said.

"Come on man, it's still dark outside. Let me drive you," Liam said and Zayn nodded.

"Liam, I'm doing this for his own sake. He's too swamped in that fancy life now, that he's not seeing what's important," Niall said.

"And you do?" Liam asked arching his eyebrow.

"Yes, I do. Do you know how many times he called me in the middle of the night just to say that he wasn't happy without him? Until he was resigned and probably thought that it was useless to wait for him to call him or something. We never heard about Harry anymore after Zayn left. Have you ever wondered what happened with him?" Niall asked.

"No, not really. I just saw him a couple of times with this other guy. I finished school and left town. I wouldn't know anything about him," Liam said.

"See? This is so weird. He "disappeared" for a couple of years and he comes back now? Isn't that crazy? And do you know what? Early today a guy was handing him a box with a few belongings, books, and stuff," Niall explained.
