  ' They're all dumb people Zaynie. They don't know shit about art. You could've sketched a blob of poo and told them it was art they would've believed you. '

He smiled as Louis' words echoed in his head, the jitter in his spine calming a bit.

' Just breathe and find me in the crowd and I'll wiggle my eyebrows for you.'

Suppressing a chuckle he let his eyes roam over the crowd smiling when he found the shining blue ones. He almost lost it right there when Louis wiggled his eyebrows giving him a cheeky smile but then his brain decided it was a good time to remind him of the enormity of the audience that sat in front of him, expecting him to give a well-rehearsed speech about his drawings. His smile faltered, breath hitching in his throat. Suddenly, it was too hot for him and very single person was trying to see through him stripping him off his walls one by one, trying to reach to his deepest secrets. He rubbed his palms over his thighs before placing them on both sides of the podium, leaning on it a bit.

' Imagine they are naked, Zee.'

He couldn't help but giggle at that. Louis had given him the most serious look he could muster when he said that. Zayn had laughed, quite loudly too, but Louis just shook his head saying how it had worked every time for him.

He looked back at the onlookers who were giving him a strange look. He let out another giggle earning a frown from one of the judges sitting almost at his feet.

" I'm sorry I was just really nervous for this and my boyfriend told me to imagine everyone naked and I don't really think it works. " He let out looking directly at Louis, whose eyes widened a little before he burst out laughing. From his peripheral vision, Zayn noticed that everyone else was laughing too but he was too absorbed in those hypnotising blue eyes to notice anyone else.

" We were supposed to portray the beauty of the world and what we like about it through our drawings and I'm seeing a lot of drawings related to nature or the creations but mine is a bit different. Nature is just not my world and I just wanted to stay true to myself." He let his eyes roam over the judges once and the interest in their gestures made him want to say more. " My world is my family and that's what my drawings are about." Pride burst through his heart when one of the judges gave him a genuine smile and after that little gesture of appreciation, the words just came out him with a steady flow. " The first one is my mum and I hope you can see it. Her caring personality with a blanket of firmness around it. She's the most inspiring person I have ever come across. She gives me the will to fight against the world and stand by who we love and that's what I love about her." He ended his description looking back at his mother, his throat closing up a bit at the tears that cascaded down her cheeks. " Next is Harry, my brother. One thing I love about him is how he wants to protect me from the world and the harms within it. He's always there trying to pave my way so I could go through it without any hardships. Life can never knock him down because he will always find a way to conquer it and always find his way back to me and that's what I love about him." He knew he was almost on the verge of tears but at that point, he didn't really care. It wasn't a matter of public demonstration anymore it was closer to home now. Sniffling, he wiped one of his hand under his eyes trying to school his expression. " Then there's Liam, my best friend. I love how he tried so hard to make everything so dramatic." He chuckled when the crowd laughed, sizing Liam up who looked at him with mock disapproval. " He's the most honest person I've ever met and he's done so much for me in the short time we have been together and I wish that everyone in this world had a friend like him." Liam was blushing now, waving at him fondly. " Last but not the least. It's my boyfriend Louis." There was a short pause after that as he looked back at the sketch he drew before looking back at the real person, smiling at the goofy expression on his face. The next was basically word vomit. " He's the most genuine person on the earth and without him, my life would be incomplete. I love him for accepting me for who I am." Their eyes stayed glued to each other, affection blazing in them.

Zayn didn't account for what happened next. He didn't know when he got off the stage or if he had impressed the judges or not. He didn't know what his family said. The only thing he knew was that he was standing outside with Louis' arms around him and lips pressed to his forehead.

" Was that your way of asking me out?" Louis asked him pulling away from his forehead to directly look at him.

Still pumped from the talking Zayn giggled letting his mouth roam dangerously close to his boyfriend's lips. " You weren't going to label it anytime soon were you?"

" Yeah. I've thought about it so much that I started believing that we already were boyfriends." Louis brought him closer squeezing his arms lightly.

" I think I said too much today," Zayn said feeling drained all of a sudden.

" Well, I'm glad you said it," Louis mumbled in his ear before pulling back to kiss him properly.

And that was when Zayn decided that some days talking was worth it.

A/N I can't believe how short this is. I don't think I've ever posted something this short. Also sometimes I sit down and take a minute to get it through my head that this is coming to an end. I am a sad sad person.
I have Carry On now! In paperback and I am dying!
