 [HARRY’s P.O.V.]

“What do you do when you’re in love?”

“Huh?” I asked in utter confusion.

“Well” Zayn shrugged, “Its just a simple question. What do you do when you’re in love?”

I remained silent for a moment but spoke up soon after, “Tell the person that you’re in love with them and hope for the very best?”

Zayn laughed dryly, a bitter laugh. “I wish it was as simple as that, Harry.”

“Zayn, you’re confusing me.” I paused, “Someone specific you’re talking about?”

Zayn shook his head slightly, “I cannot tell you his name.”

Zayn’s words caught me off-guarded as I stared at him for a second or two, taking in whatever he had just said. Are my ears deceiving me? Is Zayn Malik really in love with a guy?

…Could it possibly be Liam?

“Yes Harry, it is a he. Now stop staring at me like I’ve grown a second head because one, you’re creeping me out and two, staring is rude.” He said and I whispered a quiet apology.

“So tell me more about this ‘he’. Do I know him?” I asked, sitting cross-legged on his bed. I just hope that somehow I could get this person’s name out of Zayn’s mouth. Jeez, I’ve never felt more curious!

“Yeah, you do. Very well, if I may say so.” He said, his gaze was fixed to the carpeted floor now.

“How long have I known him?” I asked. A million questions were popping in my brain at this moment but I didn’t want to ask them all because Zayn would probably freak out or he would never talk to me again or he’d do both. Yeah, both.

“Its been a long, long time.” He answered and I nodded understandingly. Something is telling me that it is Liam but I’m still not making any assumptions.

“Okay,” I said, “Tell me something more. What is he like?”

Zayn sighed and finally looked up at me. “He is just…perfect, Harry.” Zayn said, running a hand through his messy hair, “And I just do not know what to do about it. He is someone I always get along with easily. He is sweet, intelligent, trustworthy and above all, beautiful inside and out. And not to mention he gives amazing hugs and is incredibly fit.”

I grinned internally as Zayn rambled on and on like a smitten kitten but tried to keep my face straight from the outside. The thing is, you don’t have to be a genius to know who Zayn is talking about—Liam. It is now like the obvious thing ever, really.
