Chapter Seventeen

On Zayn's fifteenth birthday, Louis gave him his first present. Not just his first present from him but from anyone that day. Louis snuck out his house through his window at half eleven and ran twenty minutes to Zayn's house using a tree to get to his second story window. 

He easily slipped inside, thanks to Zayn liking a cool breeze in his room, tip-toeing to the side of his bed and gently shaking him.

"Zayn...psst Zayn? Babe, wake up I know you hate it but pleaseee for meee!" Louis whined becoming impatient as his boyfriend of two months still laid in bed like a corpse "Zayn I swear if you don't get up I will slice that leather jacket you love so much!"

It seemed as if his threat worked as Zayn started stirring in his sheets and mumbled groggy Shut ups and Fuck off Donyia's before finally sitting up rubbing at his eyes and blinking a few times before finally focusing on his boyfriend sitting next to him.

"Hi love!"

"L-Louis? Wha- what time is it? Why're you here?" sleep still thick in his voice

"It issss" Louis trailed off looking at the time on his phone "twelve-oh-two, that means it's your birthday! Zayn's finally fifteen look at you all grown up and being adorable." Louis cooed at his younger boyfriend before pulling a small black velvet box from his pocket

Zayn saw it and his eyes immediately popped out of their sockets "I-is that?"

"Oh, no! Zayn no it's a... it's not that but open it!" Louis stumbled shoving the small box into his hand. "I had some money from a summer job saved up and I did some extra stuff for my mum at home...I really hope you like it Zayn."

Zayn grinned up at Louis and slowly opened the box seeing two silver hoop earrings on top of a navy blue velvet cushion. It wasn't anything fancy it was just simple, classic and Zayn. 

"Lou-"

"I know it's not much but I saw them when I went to London during winter break and they made me think of you. How the silver would stand out against your skin... I'm rambling. You probably don't even like them."

"Louis would you shut up!" Zayn snapped throwing the hand that wasn't holding the earrings over Louis' mouth "They're simple. I like simple. I love y-" Zayn cut himself off removing the hand from Louis' mouth and covering his own

"You what?" Louis asked dumbfounded

"I looove the earrings, I said that, yeah." Zayn mumbled trying to cover up what he almost said. It was completely insane to say this early, after only two months. He didn't want to scare Louis off he really did...love him.

"Zayn, it's alright ya know?" Louis scooted closer to Zayn and placed a hand on his cheek tracing the bone with his thumb "I um, I love you too."

Zayn let out a sigh of relief "I love you Louis, fuck, I've been holding that in for a while now...I. Love. You." 

They stared at each other cerulean meeting amber before Louis' lips pulled up into a smirk and said "Who knew Zayn Malik was a sap..." and lunged forward tackling Zayn to the mattress and peppering his face with kisses.

When Zayn pulled in to his front drive he turned and smiled at the sleeping boys in the backseat. He went and picked them both up so he wouldn't need to make three trips, one for each boy then luggage, they were getting heavier and he wasn't sure how much longer he could do this. Thinking about that made his heart clench he wanted them to stay small enough so he could just scoop them up and go, he wanted them to stay curious and messy and innocent. If Zayn could carry them around in a baby carrier with him forever, in all honesty, he probably would.
