Harry and Zayn were cuddled up on the couch in Harry and Louis' apartment watching, Love Actually, Harry's absolute favorite movie. The lights were down, and a blanket was thrown over the two of them as they watched. Harry sat entranced by the story line, like every time he watched it, but he never got bored, while Zayn was staring at Harry's bright green eyes never taking his eyes off of the film, at his smile that would light up every time something romantic happened, and at his laugh when ever he found something funny. It amazed him that the younger man could still find it all so funny even during his hundredth time watching it.
When the final credits started to roll, Zayn placed a gentle kiss on his secret love's lips, running his fingers through his wild curly hair, "I have to go Baby, Perrie is probably wondering where I am," he explained kissing away the pout that formed on the Cheshire man's lips. "Don't give me that look," he smiled as he watched Harry's pout come back that he knew affected Zayn. The Bradford boy turned away from the younger before he changed his mind and walked to the door, calling over his shoulder, "I will see you tomorrow, babe."
A tear fell from Harry's eyes just like every time he watched Zayn walk away from him to go back to the place he shared with Perrie. He wished for one night he wold just stay, and they could cuddle in bed together, and in the morning he would wake up to see Zayn still fast asleep, instead of an empty bed like he does every day. Maybe one day.
Louis came into the living room from his room, where he always waits when Zayn comes over for the evening, and just like everyday Harry was sitting on the couch cuddled into the blanket the two were previously cuddled in, with tears in his eyes.
"Harry you need to stop this with Zayn," he told him. He has already told him this so many times, but the younger boy believes that Zayn truly loves him. Louis wants to believe in Zayn and not pick a side, but the Bradford boy keeps breaking Harry a little more everyday and he is not sure how much more the curly haired boy can take. "Hazza, he is never going to leave her for you," he tried to explain, but the curly haired boy didn't listen, he just stood up and walked ot his room, shutting the dorr behind him and locking it so his nagging best friend would not follow him.
The Cheshire boy started pacing around the room, "he loves me, he loves me," he kept repeating to himself. At one point, a long time ago, he truly believed what he was trying to convince himself now, but after all this time of him leaving to go back to her, Harry is not so sure anymore.
It's been a week since that night and Zayn only came over once in that time, when he normally come over at least four nights every week. Harry is starting to doubt his last bit of hope in the Bradford boy.
Today they have an interview, which they have already arrived at. Louis is getting his hair done, Niall his little make up done, and Liam is getting dressed while Zayn and Harry are already finished.
Harry has been trying to talk to Zayn without being suspicious because Louis is the only one that knows about the two of them, he found out when he walked in on them kissing one day. Zayn though has been somewhat avoiding Harry, he has been wandering around the set if the interview since he was finished getting ready and the curly haired man could not find him.
Finally when they were all called to the seat to start the interview Zayn could no longer avoid his boyfriend. Louis, Niall, and Liam all took the front row forcing Zayn to have to sit next to Harry. The raven haired boy avoided eye contact with the Cheshire singer at all costs, and flinched when ever Harry touched the boy next to him.
Towards the end of the interview, the host finally brought up the subject Zayn knew was coming and Harry was shocked to hear, "So Zayn, a couple of days ago Perrie was seen with what is believed to be an engagement ring. Is this true?"
