Zayn : "I'm glad we did this"

Louis : "yeah me too. It's been so long since we hung out"

Zayn : "reminds me of the good old days"

Louis : "remember our first date?"

Zayn : (blushes) "how could I forget? You showed up with braces and the brightest red chinos I've ever seen in my life."

Louis : (embarrassed) "idiots told me it was fashion"

Zayn : "you looked cute. I remember thinking there was no way I would not end up with him"

Louis : "but you didn't"

Zayn : (silent) "are the swing sets still there?"

Louis : "yeah come on"

Zayn : (sits on swing) "push me!"

Louis : "you're such a baby"

Zayn : (kicks foot out to build up speed) "let's race!"

Louis : "you know I'd kick your ass"

Zayn : "liar"

Louis : (sits on swing next to Zayn) "you're on"

Zayn : (watches over to Louis who is already sky high) "don't go too hard Lou you'll fall"

Louis : "you're just whining cause you're losing"

Zayn : (stops swinging) "Lou I'm serious you'll fall"

Louis : "I can go higher!"

Zayn : "be careful!"

Louis : "I can-Oh shit!" (swing set snaps) (crashes into ground)

Zayn : (screams) "Oh god Lou! Lou! Are you okay?"

Louis : (groans) "did I win?"

Zayn : (grins) "you're such an idiot"

Louis : (wipes gravel off pants and stands) "I still won"

Zayn : (shakes head looking away) Look Lou! It's the tree!"

Louis : (follows Zayn's hands with his eyes) "didn't think it'd still be here"

Zayn : "do you think..it's still there?"

Louis : (smirks) "let's find out"

Zayn : (searches tree) "I don't think it's here"

Louis : "found it"

Zayn : "where?"

Louis : ( takes Zayn's hand and places it on a spot on the tree) "here"

Zayn : (in tears) "bus 1"

Louis : "where we met"

Zayn : "Oh Lou" (hugs Louis)

Louis : (sniffs) "you know if we have to be friends there are a few rules that apply"

Zayn : "I thought you didn't like that word"

Louis : "I don't but I can adapt"

Zayn : (smiles pulling away from hug) "okay then what are the rules?"

Louis : "well for one you can't do that"

Zayn : (crinkles nose) "what? My nose? But I have allergies"

Louis : "it's distracting"

Zayn : "alright then you can't wear those white jeans you love so much"

Louis : (amused) "those are my favourite pair of jeans"

Zayn : (giggles) "it's distracting"

Louis : "Oh boy I just found number two"

Zayn : "What?"

Louis : "that laugh. It has to go"

Zayn : "my laugh?"

Louis : "you know that little snicker that you do it's adorable"

Zayn : (starts laughing loud) "how about that?"

Louis : "nope still adorable"

Zayn : "I'm done. I'm going this is helpless"

Louis : (grins) "ice cream then you can leave"

Zayn : "how do you know my weakness?"

Louis : "I know many things about you Mr. Malik"

Zayn : "and so do I, about you Mr. Tomlinson"

Louis : Oh yeah? Like what?"

Zayn : "hmm" (strokes chin) "you still sleep with socks I bet"

Louis : "I have cold feet"

Zayn : "you bite your nails like that when you're nervous" (points to Louis biting his nails)

Louis : "it's you"

Zayn : "Me?"

Louis : "you make me nervous"

Zayn : "Lou"

Louis : "old habits die hard I guess"

Zayn : "How about that ice cream?" (Walks up to van and orders ice cream for both him and Louis)

Louis : "still know my favourite flavour"

Zayn : (blushes) "of course"

Louis : (watches Zayn lick his ice cream cone) "I'm trying so hard not to kiss you right now"

Zayn : (freezes) "Louis"

Louis : "Shh don't speak you're only making it worse"

Zayn : "I have to go"

Louis : "No wait, I'm sorry"

Zayn : (runs off crying) "bye Louis"
