Blinking myself awake, I looked up at three cooing girls with cameras.

"Dani, El, Perrie! Leave them alone!" Liam's voice hissed from the kitchen.

"But they're so adorable!" Perrie whined back, looking down at us as I yawned.

"Would you rather have them sleeping or awake?" Liam sighed, compromising.

"Little too late on Zayn's part." Danielle commented, brushing the tips of my ears. I purred softly, making Louis shift underneath me.

"For the love of- just come over here." Liam muttered, sounding frustrated. The girls quietly left their spots over us as I wriggled out of Louis' grip, making my way to the kitchen and glancing at the time. 10:37.

"Morning Zayn. Sorry the girls woke you." Liam apologized, watching me from his spot on the counter.

"It's okay." I mumbled, yawning.

"His teeth are sharp." Perrie suddenly commented.

"Well he is a cat, Per, what do you expect?" Danielle shot back. Perrie just rolled her eyes as Eleanor shook her head.

Feet were making their way across the floor upstairs, so I turned to the steps, watching Niall stumbling down them a moment later, his hair a mess while he yawned loudly.

"So how'd the date go?" Liam asked an unsuspecting Niall.

"Date?"

"Date with who?"

"Niall had a date?"

All three girls shot at once, far too perky this morning.

"Yeah, I had a date with Harry."

All three squealed, making me whimper as their high pitched voices reminded me of the sirens. Leaving the kitchen, I made my way upstairs to Louis' bedroom, where the girls' voices were muffled by my flattened ears and through insulation and drywall.

I passed by Harry's open bedroom door, finding Harry still fast asleep... and an empty Niall-shaped ball under the covers. Well, I did tell him to go cuddle his boyfriend.

Closing the door behind me, I walked into the bathroom, for the first time intent on taking a shower. I felt slightly cramped, so I thought the hot water might help.

Stepping under the warm spray, I let it relax my muscles as I lightly washed, hissing as I cleaned out my ear wound.

Once I was done, I dried myself with the towel hanging on the rack, wrapping it around my waist and stepping out of the bathroom, looking for some clothes. Louis was letting me borrow some of his while a shopping trip was being placed in order.

Slipping on some boxers, I decided to leave the shirt for later after slipping on some sweats and curling up in the bed, listening to the conversations downstairs.

After a moment my stomach growled so I threw on the shirt and made my way downstairs, nearly running into Liam, who was exiting the kitchen at the time.

"Hey Zayn. Good sleep?" I just nodded, blushing as my stomach growled. Liam grinned, scratching my ears. "Lou made breakfast so go ahead and eat." I nodded, pushing the door open only to dart back out as something came flying across the room and hit Liam in the back of the head- he hadn't made it to the stairs yet- and shocked, horrified gasps from the kitchen.

"What the hell?" Liam snapped, whipping around. I flinched back at his tone, the others not seeing me as I was hiding against the wall.

Liam slowly approached me, his hands on my shoulders. "I'm not going to hurt you, Zayn. I'm sorry for scaring you." He apologized softly, looking me in the eyes. I could feel Zain rearing his head a bit, my eyes probably taking a light green tint. He was being truthful, from what I could tell and what Zain could tell.
