The Pirate Prince *Larry Stylinson*

Where are we Zayn?

Chapter 27

"You never know. We thought he wouldn't let you off the first time, but he still did. Even if he doesn't show it, he really likes it when you're happy, you know." Liam stated to the royal that scowled though he said nothing else on the subject.

Ellie gave Louis a smile, "We can get you something from the city if you want?"

As they began walking out, Louis tried to think, "Well, if you got me some new clothes that'd be great." He settled on simply.

The three made it out on deck from below, and seeing the surrounding land around gave Louis a slight chill to his spine...

The ship was slowing to a near crawl as the crew members onboard appeared to all be at work at stopping the ship in place properly.

Niall made his way toward them excitedly, "Haz, said we'll have about three hours out in the city! It'll be so much fun! Feels like forever since I've been on dry land!"

"Haz?" Louis repeated in amusement.

Liam snickered, "Yeah, Niall, Zayn, and I call him that. It gets him really annoyed. But we think it's cute and it sort of fits him in a way."

Nodding slowly, Louis storted it for future reference.

"By the way, where is Zayn?" Liam curiously inquired to Niall who blinked, "Oh, he's with the Captain in his study! They were talking about something private so they asked me to step out." He shrugged his shoulders and at that moment, Louis was abruptly reminded of the earlier scenario with both Zayn and Harry.

His lips formulated into a frown and she gazed over at both Niall and Liam.

"Yeah, about Zayn and Harry..." He began out gradually, earning the attention of the two male pirates, and even Ellie. Louis gave a small breath before starting again, "They're just close friends, right?"

"Yup!" Niall's answer was instant, however Liam observantly eyed Louis, "Just? What are you suggesting? You think there's more or something?"

"No, no." Louis quickly denied, "I mean, Zayn is really protective of Harry for some odd reason and I was just wondering, really."

Niall added in, "The two of them have a pretty good friendship. They're like literally best mates, not to mention Zayn has a lot of respect for Harry. Probably more than Liam and I."

But best mates didn't have sex with each other!

Louis wasn't so sure if it'd be best to bring that fact up, "Oh. That's interesting..." Louis mumbled, his eyes moving toward Harry's quarters' door.

Maybe the reason Harry hadn't explained himself about sleeping with Zayn was because of this reason. He didn't want Louis saying it to either Niall or Liam.

"I'm just going to go now." The royal stated before he began walking across the deck toward Harry's room door.

His hand touched the doorknob and he didn't hesitate to open it.

Stepping inside the study, Louis kept his face straight as he came to the imagine of Zayn sitting on the side of Harry's desk, his arms folded over his chest while he gaze down at the seat captain that watched up at the raven haired pirate.

Louis's entrance to the room caused both males to turn their attention to the door.

Zayn's face cracked into a grin while he nodded over at Louis in greeting and Harry shook his head slightly before moving his attention back toward Zayn.
