he don't like the lights ♡ ziall/zustin/jiall au [COMPLETE]

sneak peek

"hello?" the voice is familiar, though not the one niall wants to hear.

he sighs. "justin, where's zayn?"

"irish cream! how are you?"

niall really doesn't want to talk to justin, despite how kind and attractive he is. "i'm good. how are you?"

"good!" justin is smiling, niall can hear it. justin's voice has become so familiar over the past year that niall expects to hear it every time he calls zayn's phone. "you wanna talk to zee?"

"please."

"hang on." there's a rustling sound, and then the loud smack of someone hitting someone else.

"ow! justin, that was my ass, you shit!"

justin's laughter. "i know. niall's on the phone for you."

as frustrated as niall is by justin's actions, the happy sound that zayn makes at realizing it's niall on the phone makes niall's heart sing. "baby!"

niall giggles. "hi, zayn."

"hi, baby. my baby. BABY, BABY, BABY--" niall laughs as he hears justin join in with the 'ohhhh!' bit.

no matter what -- even if he's thousands of miles away with another man -- zayn is niall's home, holds his heart in both hands.
