Zayn had always struggled with social situations. He found it hard to connect with people and often misunderstood social cues. Despite this, he had found a group of friends in Louis, Niall, Harry, and Liam.

Zayn had always carried his blankie with him. It was a source of comfort for him and helped him to feel safe and secure. He had named it Blankie, and it went with him everywhere he went.

One day, Louis invited his little sisters over to the house. They were playing together when Zayn realized that Blankie was missing. Panic set in, and he began to bite his fingernails. Then he started biting his fingers, and soon blood and bite marks were all over his arm, fingers, and nails.

When the boys noticed the marks, they asked Zayn what was wrong. He tried to hide his panic and told them that he was fine. But when they persisted, he started to cry.

The boys were confused and didn't understand what was going on until Zayn finally explained everything. He told them about his autism and how Blankie was a source of comfort for him. He explained that he had lost it, and he didn't know what to do.

The boys were understanding and supportive. They helped Zayn search for Blankie and eventually found it in Louis's little sister's room. They brought it back to Zayn, and he hugged it tightly, feeling safe and secure once again.

From that day on, the boys made sure to be more aware of Zayn's needs and to support him in any way they could. They realized that sometimes, things that seem insignificant to others can mean the world to someone else. And they learned that being there for each other, no matter what, was the most important thing of all.
