I Won't Go Home Without You [Narry AU]

Chapter One

"If I ever will stay this late at this shitty work again..." Harry angrily muttered, shaking from the cold and turning around the corner. The streets were very dark and cold, so all the smart people were sitting at home, covered with warm blankets and drinking hot tea. But not Harry, no. He, unlike everyone, decided to finish his work instead of having a quiet and relaxing evening. It wasn't even his work, it was Zayn’s, his best friend. Of course, everyone had to help their friends and support them, but Harry who already didn't feel any parts of his body, just cursed himself for asking Zayn if he needed any help. Of course, he immediately agreed and, as always, unnoticed by Harry quickly shoved him all his work and went away.

"Oh shit," Harry cursed under his breath, when he accidentally tripped over something. His bag fell on the dirty floor and some of the papers fell out of it. Thank God that there weren't any puddles so all the things that Harry had worked on weren't damaged much. Though it still didn't help that there were only few working lights on the street.

"Wonderful, just wonderful," the curly haired boy mumbled, bending down and starting to pick up his stuff. Even though he hated it all, he didn't want it to be ruined. After all, he spent all his day doing Zayn's work, he definitely didn't want it to waste now.

He didn't even understand how it ever happened. In one moment the sun was shining so bright, the people were talking and laughing around him, but then Zayn just showed up and the next thing Harry knew was that it was already 10 pm and he was the only one left. Maybe if he wasn't that kind and maybe if he didn't want to help everyone with everything, he wouldn't be in this kind of situation when everybody was happy except Harry. He always saw only good things in people and always wanted to help them. It wouldn’t matter if they did something bad to him, if they were insulting him behind his back or making fun of him, he would still be just too kind to say 'no' if people asked him for some help. Sometimes Harry really wanted to punch himself in his face because of it. He understood so well that a lot of people were just using him so he could do their work for them, but he really couldn't stop being nice to them. And that exactly was what happened today.

He and Zayn haven't known each other for too long, maybe a year or even less. They met when Harry just came to Mullingar and he was looking for a place to live while Zayn was looking for a roommate. You won't believe it but at first they didn't talk too much or even didn't like each other much, but both understood so well that they would better live with each other in the warm apartment than on the cold streets. Though after some time it got better and slowly but surely they became friends. Because of Zayn, Harry got this work and even though he didn't like it even a little bit, it was better than nothing.

Of course, Harry talked to other people, but Zayn was still his best and only one true friend here. Back at home he had a lot of friends and everyone loved him, but somehow, Harry didn't know why, he wasn't very welcomed in Mullingar. Though even this awesome and wonderful friend like Zayn did these kind of things from time to time that Harry didn't like at all. Like today.

Like today, when he just came up to Harry with this sad miserable face of his that Harry already knew so well so he didn't have any other choice except from asking what happened and if he could help him with something. Of course, just after that Zayn's facial expression momently changed to a hopeful one and Harry realized that he just did a big mistake because "our boss gave me something that I can't quite understand, help me please" didn't sound good at all, but again he didn't have any other choice. And even if Zayn looked like he was still concentrated on his work, it would only be an illusion because all he needed to do he already did and it was a "asking for help but let Harry do all my work" thing. After this one went "looking very into it" and the last one "make some good excuse just so I can go home". Or as in this case on a date with some Perrie girl. Well, at least he had some kind of relationship and this had to give him some kind of bonus.
