Maybe I'm the Wrong You Like

"Oy, stop blushing. You totally just gave away what you two did after we left," Louis teased.

"It wasn't that! I mean, we fooled around a little. Not—"

"Don't strain yourself. I really don't want to know. I'm just, you know, happy for you."

Zayn flashed Louis a bright smile as he uttered thanks.

Everyone ended up staying at Harry and Louis' place and in the morning, Zayn woke up without Niall at his side.

When the smell of pancake hit his nose, he knew his boyfriend must have been lured by it. He put on a shirt and went to the kitchen where Dani and Niall were seated while Liam's flipping pancakes like a pro. The house owners were nowhere to be found. "Where's Lou and Haz?"

"Oh, you're up," Niall said the same time Dani answered, "They went to get themselves a cat. Or a kitten."

He nodded, went to the percolator and poured himself a cup of joe. When he was done, he sauntered over to where Niall was and dropped a kiss on the blonde's head. Niall looked up to smile at him and he slid in beside his boyfriend. A few minutes later, Liam slid him some pancakes. "Thanks, Li."

"Sure, mate."

An hour later, Harry and Louis arrived with the former carrying the cutest kitten Zayn has ever seen. Niall and Liam went over to coo at the newest addition to their group and Zayn can't help but grin at the sight of all his friends.

Notes:

Big ball of hurt was a phrase I got from one of my favorite novels, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me.
