Snow Boy [Zarry]

*40*

A couple months later, well into the month of July, things were going perfectly.

Almost.

Harry's job was going great for him, but Zayn's paintings weren't selling as much as they used to.

Mainly because he hadn't painted anything fresh in almost three weeks.

Even with the love of his life living with him, he still struggled to get that rush of inspiration.

He was having artist's block, and he hated it.

Harry could tell something was wrong, and tried everything to cheer Zayn up.

Currently, he was making him cupcakes.

"Harry?" He heard his boyfriend call, coming downstairs.

Harry finished putting icing on the last cupcake, sucking his thumb clean and quickly putting a few of the cupcakes on a plate to present them.

He tossed his tools in the sink, brushing himself off and fixing his hair.

As Zayn entered, Harry lifted the plate and smiled cutely.

"What's this?" Zayn chuckled.

"I made them for you to cheer you up." Harry briefly explained.

"Have one."

"They look perfect kitten, but come upstairs with me I want to show you something." Zayn smiled.

"Now? Won't you at least try a bite first? I worked hard." Harry said, giving Zayn a big-eyed stare.

"Sure, I'll try a bit." Zayn eventually said, picking one up and taking a bite.

Harry watched, waiting.

"Perfect." Zayn said while still chewing.

"Now c'mon." He insisted, leaving the kitchen.

Harry rolled his eyes, following.

"Please tell me you've painted something." Harry said.

"I wish. But this is even better." Zayn said, leading him into his bedroom.

Harry sat next to him on the bed, watching Zayn pull his laptop close.

"Look at this." He said, clicking on a video.

Harry watched, simply seeing a few red-faced monkeys jumping around in the snow.

"They're beautiful." He commented, also looking at the small snowflakes falling around them.

"Aren't they? The scenery is pretty inspiring too, don't you think?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah. You know how I feel about snow. What country is this?" Harry asked, leaning closer and studying the video.

"Let me check." Zayn smiled, handing Harry the laptop and getting off the bed.

He walked over to his dresser, digging through the top drawer for a while.

"Let's see....our tickets say Matsumoto airport in Japan." Zayn said, looking at them before smiling at Harry.

Harry blinked, his heart beginning to pound as he caught on. "We're going to Japan?"

"Yeah." Zayn chuckled.

Harry covered his mouth, looking back at the laptop.

He sat like that for a while.

"There's a great place I found to rent for a week." Zayn explained. "Bring those little yellow swimming trunks too. There's a huge hot tub." He said, sitting next to him.
