Zayn's POV:"Zayn, wake up for fuck's sake," I hear someone shouting while shaking my body.
"What the hell is your problem?" I ask, finally opening my eyes to see a stressed Justin in front of me.
"We overslept. I have a test in twenty minutes and need to leave now. Can you get Noelle ready and drop her off at kindergarten? Text them and let them know you'll be late. Thanks. Bye." He yells while scrambling around the house, grabbing his things. I don't have time to respond before the door slams shut.
Well, okay then.
I check the time and realize I've missed my first class. The next one starts in five minutes, so I'll skip it and aim to make the first class after lunch.
I get ready and wake up Noelle. I carry her to the kitchen, staring into the fridge. I hate having to feed a child. Justin always makes her a healthy breakfast with all the nutrients she needs. I, on the other hand, do not.
I heat up some pizza leftovers and cut them up for her. "Don't tell Daddy we had pizza for breakfast," I whisper, placing the plate in front of her and kissing her head.
Once she's finished, I go through the rest of the morning routine. It takes her twenty minutes to pick out an outfit. She's definitely her father's daughter. I've lost count of how many times we've been late because Justin couldn't find a nice enough outfit.
We leave the house. Noelle is happy, dressed, and fed, so I feel like that's a success. I, however, didn't eat and my stomach is starting to hurt. I drop Noelle off at daycare and chat briefly with one of her teachers, who shamelessly flirts with me.
"Bye, Daddy," Noelle yells, running off towards her friends.
I get to school right as lunch is starting. I grab some food and spot Justin sitting at a table with Harry, Louis, Kendall, and Niall. I join them.
"Hi babe. Did drop-off go well?" Justin asks as I sit down, giving me a kiss. Everyone at the table "awws" at the gesture.
I, being who I am, get embarrassed by the public display of affection, pull away quickly, and look around to see who noticed.
Justin looks a bit annoyed, but I ignore it and respond, "Yeah baby, all good. It took her five hours to choose an outfit, but other than that, it went fine. The blonde girl at her kindergarten keeps flirting with me, though. Today she asked why the most handsome ones are always gay." I laugh, taking a bite of my sandwich.
"She really can't take a hint. What did you say?" Justin asks.
"I told her I wasn't gay," I reply.
Everyone at the table looks at me with confused expressions.
"You're joking, right?" Justin finally asks.
"No, I'm not gay. And my sexuality is none of her business anyway," I say.
"Zayn, you're a complete idiot," Louis says.
"COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT," Kendall repeats, shouting and causing the entire cafeteria to turn their heads toward us.
"Why? I'm not telling her I'm available or interested in her. I was just stating that I'm not gay," I say, my tone harsh.
I hear Justin mumbling something and looking down.
"Huh?" I ask, looking at him.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," he answers without lifting his head.
"No, come on, tell me. Whatever it was you wanted to say, just say it," I insist, feeling my irritation rise.
"You seemed pretty fucking gay the other day when you almost cried because I was too tired to get hard for you. Or just the fact that you fuck me, a guy, every night. And don't even get me started on last night, Zayn," he says loudly, staring me straight in the eyes.
Yep. Probably everyone in the cafeteria heard that, I realize as I look around at the faces giggling and whispering.
Louis, Kendall, Harry, and Niall are all looking at me like they could punch me. And I get it. I know how much it bothers Justin when I'm scared to be open about my sexuality. I know I'm not gay because I've never been attracted to anyone who isn't a girl—until Justin. So, I guess I'm some sort of "queer," as Justin puts it, but I still prefer to think of myself as not gay. I hate myself for it.
"Justin, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking, you know what I mean baby?" I whisper, caressing his arm. "But please don't talk about our sex life. I'm okay with people knowing we're dating, but they don't need to know more than that, right?" I add, still whispering.
"Zayn, the whole school knows you're dating. We all know you have sex. Justin shows up limping like two times a week from you being too rough. And I don't know if you fucking remember, but I'm on the soccer team. We all get changed together; your body is always full of hickeys. I hope for your own well-being that they're all from Justin. And let's not forget that you've had sex in school. Justin isn't exactly quiet, and everyone hears and sees it when you two come out of the library. So the only one you're fooling is yourself, Zayn. The whole school knows you're having GAY sex," Niall says, looking at me like I'm an idiot.
"Also, when you were dating Perrie, you told everyone every detail about your sex life. Your internalized homophobia is showing too much. If you're not ready, then leave Justin alone," Kendall says, dragging Justin from the table and walking away, holding his hand.
I watch them, hoping Justin will turn around and look at me, but he doesn't.

New text message to Justin
Zayn: Baby im so sorry I fucking suck I'm really sorry I didn't mean anything bad
Justin: Zayn im okay. I get that you are scared. And all these small things like you not wanting to kiss in school and shit, yes it suck's a little because I wanna show the world you're mine, but at the same time I get it because I've went through it as well. But tbh the saying you're not gay to the teacher was just unnecessary and it made me sad 😕 She's seen us together and she knows Noelle calls you dada, so there was nothing to hide there but still you didn't wanna say it. You didn't even have to answer anything. Just no reason to say you're not gay. It's getting a bit frustrating. I'm trying to be patient but we've been together for months and I just want you to feel comfortable but idk what it will take ☹️
Zayn: I know. I'm so sorry, I will be better I promise. I love you so much and I want nothing more than to be your bf. I promise baby. I love you.
Justin: love u ❤️
