Where are we going to?" Harry asked as they both walked in the dark.

"You'll see." Zayn sqeezed Harry's hand in his a bit tighter.

"What's with you and all your mysteries?" Harry asked again. "I mean since we got here, you're like, all mysterious  and stuff."

"Ever heard of getting a surprise?" Zayn laughed.

Harry nodded his head. "You couldn't just tell me you had a surprise planned?"

"It's called building suspense and if you kindly could turn your head a little bit more to the left, you'll see that we actually arrived at our destination."

Harry did as he was told. "A wooden gate?"  

"Yeah."

"Was that the surprise? You brought me all the way here to see the wooden gate?"

"Geez Harry, can't you be any more ungrateful? I mean look at it, it's pure oak wood."

"I mean, it is a pretty great gate. I guess?" Harry scratched the back of his head.

Zayn then bursted out laughing. "Oh god Harry. I'm not sure if it's your naivety or stupidity but you're so cute."

Harry just stared at him confused. He didn't get why him complimenting the gate made him naïve.

"Let's try opening the gate, yeah?" Zayn suggested. Hoping Harry will catch on what he was referring to. 

They opened the gate and Harry immediately made that "oh" sound.

Behind the oak wooden gate there was a huge campfire with wooden benches around it. Surrounded by white snow. The red and yellow light of the fire lightened the entire erea.

"Good evening fellas." The campfire guide greeted them. "Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us. My name is Derreck and I'll be your guide, well actually more the supervisor of the fire. It tends to lose it's chill." He winked.

Harry giggled. Zayn just blankly stared at him.

"Okay so." He uncomfortably moved on. "As you can see we've got a great turn out tonight." He pointed at the only four people there.

Again Harry smiled.

"Ah what a beautiful smile." Derreck complimented. Making Zayn's head snap in his direction again. He gave the overfriendly guide one of his most deadly stares.

"Alright uhm." Derreck felt Zayn's eyes burning on him. "You can chose to stay in the main erea and have a group sing-along or you could take a private bonfire." He pointed at the far back.

"We'll take the private one, bye."

And just like that, Zayn dragged Harry with him to the very end of the area. The furthest away from Derreck.

Harry pushed his arm back. "The group sing-along sounded fun too." He looked back at the group, well the four people that were seated there.

"No it doesn't." Zayn argued.

"But like-" Harry got cut off by Zayn. "Babe, we came to enjoy our alone time."

"Yeah, you're right." Harry gave in and walked with Zayn to their own little bonfire.

Once they got there, Zayn wiped away some snow off the bench and told Harry to sit. In the meantime he went into the small stall located on their right side. Only to return couple of minutes later with 2 mugs of hot chocolate, a bag full of marshmallows and a dark grey blanket.

Harry smiled at him as he took one of the mugs out of Zayn's hand. "That's so sweet of you." He commented.

Zayn just winked at him and sat down beside him. Wrapping the blanket around the both of them.

"You know," Harry began, holding his mug in between both hands. "This kind of reminds me of the day we first met. Remember? After the December Party we went to your house and you offered to sit outside with the fire on?"

"Yeah." Zayn smiled at the memory.

"We talked for hours." Harry continued, moving closer to Zayn. "And we didn't even knew each other that well."

"We just instantly hit off." Zayn said. "Feels weird right, it feels like that happened so long ago but in reality it just have been days."

Harry nodded his head. But that wasn't the main focus of Harry. He wanted to know something else. Something that he knew that Zayn was bothered with.

"You were telling me about your issues with your dad and the career that you have chosen for yourself." Harry reminded him. "Do you still feel the same? I vaguely remember you telling me that you wanted to major in something else."

"Art."  They both said at the same time.

"Yes, I do feel the same about it but let's not talk about that right now." Zayn tried to change the subject. He told Harry that, before he knew that Harry wanted to hurt him. Before he knew that Harry wasn't worthy knowing the real him.

"Okay." Harry let that subject go. "We'll talk about it when you're ready."

In the distance they heard the group starting to sing. It was hardly hearible but you could hear just enough to make out what song they were singing; Ed Sheeran- Thinking Out Loud.

"Ahh, I love that song." Harry said disappointed.

"How about I make it better to you and sing a song?" Zayn suggested.

"You don't have to do that." Harry laughed but loved the idea.

"Okay." Zayn shrugged his shoulders and just started looking up at the sky. Making Harry's heart sink. He didn't expected Zayn to react that way, he at least hoped that Zayn would sing one line or two. But oh well...

Harry also looked up and watched the stars shine. There were so many out tonight. It was beautiful. Just as Harry wanted to ask Zayn if he could see a penis formed by the stars, Zayn started singing. Making Harry's head snap in his direction.

I can read in the stars
That you were made for me
The one in my life
Forever you and me
I will do anything
To see us both happy
All I'm asking from you
To put your trust in me

So Look into my eyes
Tell me what you're waiting for
There's no need to lie
Baby, love is all I'm asking for
So tell me what's the price
Baby, I will pay you with my life
I'll stand by your side
Till' the end of time
Baby look into my eyes

Zayn lowered his head and brought Harry's face closer to his by using his two fingers underneath Harry's chin. He looked deep in Harry's eyes and repeated the lines;

"There's no need to lie"
"Baby, love is all I'm asking for."
"So tell me what's the price"
"And I'll pay you with my life..."

And in that moment Harry knew.

Harry knew.
