Homeless (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 12

"So you and Perrie," Harry smirked at Zayn when they were in the backyard taking care of the little kids.

"What about Perrie and I?" Zayn smirked back.

It had been 2 weeks since the court case. Not much as happened, but Harry had a feeling that when he was gone for a week, he missed something. The way Zayn and Perrie looked at each other showed too much.

"Anything happen between you two when I was gone?" Harry asked.

"If you really want to know...." Zayn said motioning Harry off to the side of the yard away from the kids. "We kind of...kissed, yeah. We kissed."

"Really?" Harry's grin widened. Zayn nodded like he was proud of himself.

"How old is she?" Harry asked.

"19."

"And you're what, 16?"

"Just turned 17 in January, remember?" Zayn pushed Harry a little for not remembering.

"I remember, I remember. But...if she's 19 and you're a minor....."

"We're only two years apart though, mate. You and Louis were like, a whole decade apart," Zayn chuckled.

"Hey, I'm 16 now!" Harry said pushing Zayn this time. His birthday was last week; he was surprised when he actually got a cup cake and every one sang him Happy Birthday to him. That had never happened before.

"Yeah, yeah. You've been bragging for a while now. But I should be the one bragging," Zayn lowered his voice, "I got to feel her up, you know what I'm saying?" Zayn grinned.

"Okay that's enough," Harry said sounding disgusted. "I don't need to hear about what guys do to girls." He shudders then they walk back to the kids.

"Hey, you asked. That reminds me....Harry?" Zayn said. Harry turned around to see Zayn rather close to him. He leaned in his ear to whisper so the kids wouldn't hear, "What about you and Niall?"

Harry's eyes widened. Was it that obvious? I mean, maybe they were the same way around each other like Zayn and Perrie. But they hadn't done anything since the small kiss.

"How did you know?" Harry whispered back.

"Know what?"

"Nevermind..."

"No, now you have to tell me."

"Well...he told me he liked me-"

"Oh my god! I knew it! I knew he was gay," Zayn said a little to loudly. Some of the kids to to them. Zayn swatted them away.

"Don't tell him I told you, okay? I don't know if he wants anyone to know. And I don't know if I feel the same way. I mean, he's cute but then there's Louis...."

Zayn promised not to tell with a sly smile on his face as he did.

Zayn told Niall anyway. Niall wasn't that mad, he just didn't want the whole house knowing that he had a crush on Harry. And he didn't want Kendall to think there was any competition even though there wasn't; Harry would pick Niall over Kendall any day.

"I didn't mean to tell Zayn...I mean, he just wanted to know," Harry told Niall later that night.

"It's okay. The first thing you should know about Zayn is that he can't keep a secret."

"Yeah, I should have already known that," Harry huffed.

"Yeah. Don't beat yourself up over it. I don't mind that much," Niall shrugged. "As long as you don't mind."
