When Two Worlds Collide [Zouis Talik] [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 9

It's been a week and Zayn's back to his carefree and childlike self. Louis can't help but feel relieve and frustrated at the same time; relief because he can finally stop worrying about losing himself around Zayn, and frustrated because he wasted so much time.

"Zayn, are you ready?" Louis asked when Zayn finally arrived downstairs.

"Where we goin, Lou?" Zayn yawned while rubbing his eyes.

"Well, first we're going to get some stuff from the store, then we will go somewhere, alright?" Louis said as he fix Zayn's disguise.

"Eat?" Zayn pouted.

"Well, I'll let you pick anything you want at the store, alright?" Louis smiled, confident to spoil Zayn for the day because he's been stealing money for the past days, as long as it's food though, "But don't let go of my hand while we're there, okay?"

"Okay!" Zayn grinned wide at the thought of getting anything he wants, and grabbing Louis' hands.

His ears perked up, eyes widened and blushed when he felt his heart skip a beat when his hand touched Louis'. Zayn's been feeling weird around Louis lately, his tummy does some fluttery thing, his heart beating fast, and sometimes his shyness taking over when Louis talks to him. Besides those however, Louis makes him feel really happy and calm. Zayn loves it when Louis was taking care of him that week, loves the attention Louis gave him, checking on him from time to time, bringing him food often. He doesn't stay around inside the room inside and Zayn couldn't help but miss him, and now that he's not 'sick' anymore, he can spend as much time with Louis as he wants.

"Let's go then." Louis smiled brightly before walking out and heading to the car.

Louis helped Zayn settle on his seat before going to his own. When he started driving, Zayn started singing along the song in the radio,

"Run, baby, run, don't ever look back, you'll tear us apart, if you give them the chance..."

"You're a great singer, Zaynie." Louis commented.

"Thanks! I love singing, Daddy and Papa and Lili always listens to me." Zayn said.

Louis froze at the mention of his family, reality dawned on him. He bit his lip, not knowing what to say. Zayn doesn't seem bothered though, just continued singing. It puzzled Louis when he realized the Zayn hasn't been asking about going back to his family. Did that make up story about them being ran after still stuck on Zayn's head? Louis isn't sure and he doesn't want to ask, scared of what the answer will be.

"We're here." Louis said instead before stopping the car to park, "Just stay with me alright?"

Zayn nodded before waiting for Louis to open the door on his side. They both entered the small shop, it only has groceries and a few outdoor/camping materials. "Let's get some of my stuff first before food, alright?" Louis asked as he carefully navigate Zayn and himself to the tools isle, he need something to defend them when Louis finally found Bobby and hopefully his dad. He browse the different kinds of knives, mindful of the quality and prices, "Zayn, don't touch, they're sharp." he warned Zayn who was trying entertain himself by checking the knives himself, "Wasn't touching." he lied.

Louis settled on getting a Swiss army knife and a butterfly knife, happy that he was able to find one with a good quality for a cheap price, "Alright, how about we get some food?"

"Yay!" Zayn said while dragging Louis to find the food aisle, "I want sweeties."

"Alright, but not too much." Louis said, "We should buy some meals too." he added as he browse the already cooked meal the store has offered.

Zayn just nodded, too busy comparing two packs of gummy bears, his tongue poked out a little in concentration. Louis can't help but laugh softly at how Zayn's taking this seriously. His smile fade away though when a woman, the store owner he assumed, came to them while holding a flyer, "Excuse me, sir, I'm trying to help this family look for their son, and if you don't mind, please take this flyer." she smiled.

Louis' froze, it has Zayn's picture and his own and information,

"I- We'll do what we can." Louis said, trying to stay calm, he pocketed the flyer before Zayn, who is now occupied with a new pair of sweets to compare, can see it.

"Thank you!" the lady smiled, "Now, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uhm, er..." Louis said before asking her for some of the ready cooked meals on their menu.

"Alright! Pick them up at the counter when you're ready to pay for your items." she said before walking away.

"Zayn, we need to hurry up." Louis said, he checked his basket, there are now one pack of chocolate, a pack gummies and one of lollipops in it together with his knives.

"Alright." Zayn shrugged before dropping a pack of cookies in the basket, "Done." Zayn smiled.

Louis nodded before quickly going to the counter to pay and receive their meals. He thanked god when he left the store without being detected and hurried to their car.

"Can I have cookies now?" Zayn said when he and Louis are finally settled in the car.

"Eat breakfast first, Zayn, here's some uhm," Louis said while grabbing inside the plastic from the back, "Chicken fillet."

Zayn pouted but took the meal anyway, he took off the scarf, beanie and glasses Louis made him wear earlier, and made himself comfortable to eat.

"Don't make too much mess, okay?" Louis said before driving off.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Harry smiled, handing another missing Zayn poster to a passerby.

He went back to a little stand Niall and Liam made, and sat next to them, "Phew, hope we get a call soon." he said.

"Eat something first, Harry." Niall said before handing him a sandwich, "Did the officer said something yet, Liam?" he asked his son.

"Nothing much, but they said that some people have recognized Louis when they were shown a picture of him." Liam answered before handing another flyer to a passerby.

"And Zayn?" Harry asked.

"Nothing yet." Liam sighed.

"Oh God, please give us something about Zayn." Niall prayed, "I just want my baby back."

"We all do, Ni, let's just keep working alright? We'll find Zayn and I'll beat the crap out of that Tomlinson." Harry promised as he pulled Niall in his arms.

"Dad, look!" Liam said urgently before pointing at a running car, "That car was ours!"

Niall and Harry immediately stood up, "Oh my God, is that... Holy shit that must be Zayn!" Niall cried when he saw a glimpse of what he thought was Zayn, "Harry, the car! Hurry!"

They all quickly rushed to the RV, hoping that they could catch up.
