He was sitting there with a table full of Italian cuisins and a flower vase in the middle with a bunch of rose in it. He looked around himself and everyone seemed to be enjoying their foods at this grand restraurant, while he was literally playing with his pasta with the fork. He's not a fan of big restaurants, some small diners...okay, 'cause those gave him a cozy feel but these restraurants! Well, he felt uncomfortable. But he didn't want to tell his problem to Zayn either. He didn't want to ruin their first date. So he sighed and took a bit of his pasta, he was about to put it into his mouth when he felt someone's holding his wrist, preventing him from eating it. From the timgly feel it left behind he instantly knew who it was.

"You're not comfortable here, are you?", Zayn said, concern evident in his eyes.

"Uh, erm, Y-Yeah, I-I'm comfortable. W-Why?", he stuttered.

"First your eyes says it al and secondly,  you're stuttering", saying that he smirked 'cause he knew he caught him.

Harry blushed and only nodded his head in agreement, looking down.

Zayn leaned over the table and put his index finger under Harry's chin, lifting his face a lil bit so that he's looking directly into Zayn's eyes.

"Hey, no need to be shy around me okay? You're my best friend before my boyfriend", Harry blushed and then suddenly his face turned into a shocked one.

He looked at Zayn who's smiling face also dropped as the realization hit him.

He just called Harry his boyfriend! Even before asking him to be.

"Shit! Shit shit shit shit shit!!!" , he cursed under his breath making Harry frown. Doesn't Zayn want him to be his boyfriend?

"Shit Harry, it was supposed to be a romantic proposal and I totally messed up. Shit. I'm so sorry Harry!...", he started rambling making Harry smile.

"...oh God, it would have been your first proposal, I wanted to make it special b-" , he rambled on but Harry cut him off by placing his one hand on Zayn's cheek, carressing it softly and whispering, "Yes"

Zayn stood there, speechless,confusion written on his pretty face. Harry understood his confusion and said, "Yes, I'll be your boyfriend you idiot!"

Zayn smiled, walked around the table so now he stood right in front of Harry and hugged him tightly.

"Promise forever?"

"Forever what Zayn?", Harry asked still confused a bit.

"That you'll be my boyfriend forever?"

"Yes Zayn, forever and always"

"Lets seal it then yeah?"

He pulled away from the hug and stared at Zayn with confusion.

Zayn tolk out a rimg from his jean pocket , kneeled down and held it in front of Harry.

"I know it may seem we're rushing way too much but I already know that I like you Harry. From the first time I saw you in the school. Hell, I think, I think I love you. I promise I'll protect you and I'll be the knight in shining armour you've always dreamt of. Pleasegive me a chance. I promise, I'll make you happy. So will you do this honour of becoming my boyfriend?"

At this stage, Harry no longer could see anything else. Tears were making his vision blurry and he felt like his heart gonna burst out of his chest. It was like a dream come true for him. Like those novels.

So he spoke. Ignoring his heart and mind's voice to say 'no', he still said, "Yes Zayn, I'll be your boyfriend forever".

Zayn slipped the ring on his ring finger  and hugged him tight. At this point he didn't even care if the whole restraurant was watching them. Some with hateful, disgusted looks and some with looks of adoration.

Zayn held his hand and took him to his bike. Harry held him tight and Zayn drove off to his place. Harry had texted Gemma saying he'd be staying at Zayn's for the night, getting her reply as a "okay" and his sister may or may not had teased him about that making him ignore her last few text.

He was getting excited for tonight. So excited that he couldn't listen to his inner voice that was saying "No, it's too early. Don't rush into things. Don't trust people so quick." He chose to ignore it. Maybe that's why he couldn't feel the evil smirk Zayn was hiding behind his helmet.
