Zayn let out the longest breath he didn’t even know he was holding in, his hand intertwined with Niall’s perfectly, shaking with fear; the both of them.
"Don’t look so scared honey, you’re going to be okay." Mr. Edwards ensured, driving her silver car; clearly marked 'for government use only' back to the large grey building. "We'll try to put you into homes, but sadly there might not be one for the both of you so one of you may be put into an orphanage, until we can find a temporary home." She smiled.
It was such a fake smile. and it pained Zayn; it hurt so much to know he would be separated from the love of his life when he needed him most.
"Don’t worry Ni; I wouldn’t leave you." He whispered, nuzzling his face into Niall’s neck, were he kissed his collar bone, a whimper leaving Niall’s lips.
He didn’t want to lose Zayn; he was so nice to him, he was the only one who had ever been that way. "Don’t go." Niall chocked, leaning his head against Zayn’s. "I won’t, I'll never leave you. We might get separated Ni, but I'll always come back for you." He insisted, pulling Niall onto his lap now, there bodies intertwined, capturing each other’s warmth.
"C'mon Kiddo's we have to find you homes!" Ms. Edwards seemed over cheery, opening the boys door and letting them out, were she lead them into the building, people giving them pitiful looks. "Ignore them Charming." Zayn wrapped an arm around his waist, leading Niall down the hall and into a large room were many secretaries sat.
"Ms. Edwards!" One called, earning the ladies attention while Niall and Zayn sat on cold plastic chairs, Zayn rubbing circles with his thumb on Niall’s hip, the occasional kiss on the neck or cheek.

After an eternity of uncomfortable sitting, Ms. Edwards returned, smiling brightly. "Niall, we have some good news." She leaned down so she was eye level with the handicapped boy. "We found you a home, with the Payne’s."
Niall smiled gratefully, his hands shaking. "C-Can Zayn come?"
Ms. Edwards sighed, shaking her head before walking away, he heals clicking against the ground; making Niall’s heart pound. "Z-Zayn?" He stammered, turning to his brother. "Don’t cry." Zayn told himself, taking Niall into his arms.
Horrid cries left Niall’s lips, holding into Zayn for dear life, and that’s how he stayed; crying loudly into his brothers chest; his body shaking and quivering, his teeth chattering and his limbs weak. "Shh, it’s okay baby boy." Zayn subbed shapes on his back, pushing the cloth of his shirt out of the way to kiss his shoulder.
"Mr. Horan, it’s time to go." The chirpy voice called, making Niall cry harder, screaming into Zayn’s shirt. "Shh, Shh, it’s okay charming, it’s okay."
Niall only held on tighter, a pair of strong arms pulling his waist away from Zayn. "No! No!" He screamed, thrashing in the large arms. "ZAYN!"
Zayn’s own tears trickled down his face, wanting to run up and save Niall but it would be impossible as the man tried harder to hold onto Niall. "It’s okay charming, you have to go with them." Zayn’s voice broke there, his hand covering his mouth as Niall thrashed, banging his head against the door, sending him into another seizure.
