Stole My Heart (A Ziall and Larry Love Story)

Chapter 2 - No Nando's?

*Author's Note*

So, I know I said I wasn't going to upload unless I knew people wanted to read it but I'm already getting addicted to writing this so, here's chapter 2. I unintentionally slipped in a bit of Zarry in this chapter, I don't really know how it happened but, I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to vote or comment or whatever. Thank you :) - Scott

Zayn's POV

I came in late from clubbing with Harry and Louis. Lou had decided to go and see Eleanor so it was just me and Harry in the taxi home. He was so pissed, he fell asleep on me in the back seat. I have to admit he looks kinda cute when he's sleeping, with his sparkling green eyes and his thick curly locks that I just want to run my fingers through.

“Zayn...” Harry stirred a bit and looked up at me staring straight at him. “What are you staring at? And why are you touching my hair?”

Shit, what am I doing. I can't like Harry, I'm straight! Aren't I? I mean yeah there was that one time in college with Danny but...

No I'm definitely not gay. Even if I was, I can't crush on Harry, it would be awkward besides, he's straight, he did a good job of showing that tonight. I moved my hand from his head but he was still staring up at me with a look of confusion and worry.

“Zayn, are you okay?”

I snapped out of my daydream and answered him quickly, “yeah I'm fine I was just...er... making sure you were okay, I don't think the taxi driver would be happy if you threw up in his car right... haha” I laughed nervously and rubbed my neck with my hands, trying to look anywhere other than those bright green eyes.

Harry cocked an eyebrow but then laughed aloud too, “yeah I guess you're right” he giggled.

Phew.

When we arrived back at the mansion I gave the taxi driver a twenty and told him to keep the change and carried an unconscious Harry bridal style up to his room and laid him on his bed. He looks so sweet when he's asleep...

No, lose these thoughts Zayn. Damn it, I thought to myself.

I tucked him in and pluffed his pillow and wrapped the sheets around him, he looked like a sleeping angel... my angel. I shook the thought from my head.

“G'night Haz” I whispered, and kissed him on the forehead.

As I headed back to my room I stopped in the middle of the hallway in shock. I wasn't expecting the sight I saw near Liam's room.

“Niall?”

He turned to look at me, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, he just stood and stared at me, he didn't move and he didn't say a word.

“Niall are you okay? You look as if you just found out that Nando's has closed forever!” I chuckled to myself, hoping to lighten the mood. Everyone knows Niall can't live without Nando's.

At that he shook his head in disbelief and stared at me terrified.

“NO NANDOS?” he shrieked.

I clutched my sides from laughing at the look on his face and he frowned at me.

“What's so funny?” He pouted.

“Your face! I'm just kidding Nando's is fine Niall! But what's wrong? You looked scared?”

He scowled at me with his bottom lip jutting out, his bright blue eyes dark with annoyance. Then he smiled and it felt like the room lit up. His eyes flashed with their usual spark and his braces reflected in the moonlight from the window as he grinned from ear to ear.

“Nothing's wrong Zayn. I just had a bad dream, that's all” despite the smile his charming Irish accent had a hint of sadness in it and it made my heart bleed to see my little leprechaun like this. All the boys cared for Niall, he's just so...innocent.

“Nialler, are you sure you're okay? Do you want a hug?” at my suggestion his face lit up and he practically flung himself into my arms. He's usually only this excited when someone offers him food!

“Whoa, Nialler. Careful!” I whispered as I wrapped my arms tightly around him, pulling him into my chest and caressing his back. He whimpered in pleasure and buried his head in my neck.

“I'm s-sorry Z-Zayn it's just, when I have a b-bad dream, I sn-snuggle with Liam for the n-night. He keeps me safe and warm. But I- I think he has company tonight.” I felt a pang in my heart as he uttered those words. How could Liam do that to Niall? Daddy Direction turning his back on our little leprechaun in his hour of need. Well tonight, he's my little leprechaun.

“Shush, it's okay Niall. You can stay with me tonight if you want. I'll make all your nightmares go away. I'll let all your dreams come true instead.”

When I uttered those words he pushed back from me slightly and beamed up at me. The Irish charm was back in his flushed pink cheeks.

“You'd do that for me? Really Zayn?”

“Of course Nialler” and with that I pecked him on the nose and interlocked my fingers with his and led him to my room.

Somehow, it felt right.
