''Good morning baba'' Zayn greeted his father. ''Good morning dear, I see you all ready to go to the library.'' his father said still concentrated on the newspaper he is reading. '' yeah i am gonna go now, i'll see you later .bye baba bye mama.'' Zayn said heading out after gathering his glasses and his coat not without kissing her mother on cheek.

''isn't he the perfect son .'' Zayn's mother dreamily sighed as he left . ''I know , we are lucky to be his parents. he is indeed perfect.'' his father continued. ''yeah ofcourse, except the fact that he is old fashioned.'' Doniya his elder sister scoffed. ''I wonder if he ever loves someone or should you guys arrange a match for him. I pity whoever that is he is going to marry.'' she left to her room ignoring her parents warning looks.

you see, Zayn is someone who people call a nerd. He loves reading books. He loves keeping it to himself. He is kind . He obeys his parents. He wears glasses and prefers normal clothes rather than those tight jeans that makes it hard for air to reach those parts. He doesn't care about his hair or his face. People may call him ugly, but that is what he is. He doesn't understand why people don't like him. but he lets them be.He won't change for people, he doesn't want to.

Zayn reached the library he works. He is 23 and a full time artist. but he likes to work when he is not busy with commission works. He do not have many friends ,just those who work with him. The complex his library is built, also contains a software office on the upper floors. so people often coming and going out of those doors, actually is a time pass for Zayn. He doodles those people whenever he is free.

''Hey Zayn.'' he looks up to see the chocolate coloured eyes that he is starting to love. You see Zayn is not sure of his sexuality. but whenever he sees this person in front of him ,his stomach and heart pump butterflies. His eyes shine. His cheeks blush. His words stutter. His world stops.

''hey Li-Liam'' he blushes . Liam is one of the employees from the software office on the upper floor. He comes down to the library whenever he needs fresh air. ''I see you are back to work, I didn't see you the last week.'' Liam asked with a small smile. ''Yeah, I -I got an portrait painting or- order ,s-so I was b-busy.'' he mentally cursed himself for stuttering. Liam hummed '' I am thinking if you could do an artwork for me too.'' Liam asked looking at him. ''S𝚞re.'' Zayn smiled and nodded.

Liams phone ring aloud so he excused himself and left,'' ok Zayn, i'll see you tomorrow yeah. bye'' Zayn waved back at him and sighed happily with a small smile across his lips.

Zayn and his father came back from the grocery store and took the stairs because the elevator was busy. They live on the 3rd floor of their apartment. He froze when he heard moans and grunts from the second floor ''Ahh Harry!!! '' his eyes widened when he saw two people , two males specifically, eating eachothers faces.

'' Oh god save us. These disgusting fags and sinners are sure going to hell.'' his father spat as they fastly climbed to the third floor. Zayn looked back at the couple and instantly looked away blushing when he saw the Green eyed man looking directly back at him.

He silently sat when his father grumpily talked about how gay people should be thrown out of the community. He sure was offended but couldn't understand why. He is not gay ,is he? Oh god, his head started spinning thinking about all the possibilities.

''Zayn dear ,are you ok? you look pale.'' his mother asked with a frown on her face. ofcourse i'm not i just realised i'm gay. ''Yeah mom, just a tad tired is all.'' he tried to convince his mother with a small smile. ''I'll take a nap and come to dinner.'' he said and ran to his room and locked the door behind.

He stood in front of his mirror thinking about all the possibilities.' Okay Zayn take a deep breathe and think about the first crush in your school ' he thought to himself .'That's this student with blonde hair and dimples, Jack his name was. Ofcourse a boy. ok that clearly wasn't a crush because I was 10 at that time. ' he tried to convince himself. 'Then what about the tall grey eyed Ben from college. Or Liam from library.' What no, wait Liam? . Zayn huffed and rubbed his hands over his face frustatedly. There isn't one single girl he liked . Oh god. He sighed and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

'Great, Meet Zayn Malik the gay and not so perfect son of Homophobic Yaser Malik'. he thought to himself with a tear drop falling on his cheek from his red eyes , breathes coming out uneven.
