The Good In Me [Ziam]

Present

one hit, two hits, three hits...

"Zayn I know I agreed to come to the gym with you but you also agreed only for an hour, it's been two hours now" Niall groaned sitting on a bench next to where Zayn was hitting a punching bag not aware of his bestfriend complaining on how hungry he was because of the headphones blasting music

He didn't want to stop and he knew he promised Niall he would buy him pizza after an hour at the gym but when Zayn begins his workout he can't stop, every emotion inside him pushes him to continue hitting the punching bag harder and harder after each hit almost like he's hitting-

"Zayn!" Niall pulls out Zayns headphones bringing him out of his thoughts and startling him all together "can we go, I'm hungry" he begs, Zayn sighs and nods causing Niall to jump up like a kid excited to get ice cream but in this case Niall was getting pizza, same difference

Zayn gathered his things putting them in his bag while Niall goes on talking about things Zayn didn't really pay attention to, he's not a very great listener. Zayn loves Niall, don't get him wrong, he's been his best friend since middle school and Niall has been there for him whenever he needed it and Zayn was there for him too but over time with what has happened in the past, Zayn grew distant and quiet that he's rarely aware of the things around him because he's too caught up in his thoughts

After Zayn cleans his sweat off with a towel he brought along he finally follows a giddy Niall out the gym and to his car, on the way to the pizza shop Niall talked on and on about not knowing what to do tomorrow while Zayn listened intently not bothering to comment on anything unless asked a question

"Do you think I go out too much?" Niall asks looking to Zayn to find any sign of emotion but as always he held that blank, emotionless face

"I can't say anything Niall" Zayn answers turning into the parking lot, Niall nodded understanding on what Zayn meant since he happens to go out whenever he has a chance and always goes alone to find people to screw around with, Niall didn't say another word as they got off the car to go into the pizza shop

"What're we getting?" Niall asks turning to Zayn after looking to the options

"Get whatever, I said I'd pay" he answers taking out his wallet and Niall didn't hesitate on asking for whatever he wanted, the boy eats so much pizza it's concerning

After Niall asked for two boxes of pepperoni, one box of cheese, wings, and breadsticks Zayn paid the cashier and was told to wait 15 minutes, Zayn didn't like waiting but he knew with the amount Niall asked for it was understandable
