Creatures Lurking in The Dark (Ziall AU)

Was It Wrong?

ZAYN'S POV:

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone buzzing. I looked over and saw it shaking. As I snatched it from the table I was able to read the caller ID. Liam was calling and I knew immediately that Lou had told him. All the boys texted unless it was very important and I knew this classified as 'important.' I picked up the phone and held it to my ear.

Zayn=Z      Liam=L

Z: Hey Li. Can I help you?

L: Yes you can! Who did you kiss and is it a he or she?

Z: *sigh*

L: I want answers Malik....

Silence

L: I swear Zayn just answer the question.

Z: Fine! I kissed Niall and Niall is a he.

L: Where did you kiss the guy?

Z: Forehead.

L: Oh so it was just a friendly gesture? Seriously I thought it was something bad.

Z: It is bad. You don't know Ni. He isn't exactly... normal.

L: What do you mean Z?

Z: Well he lives in my basement alone and is kind of weird. I went to sit by him and he jumped back, baring his teeth. They were sharp and pointy and I had no idea what to do.

L: Oh my God! You mean a Vampire lives in your basement?

Z: How long is it going to take for you to realize there is no such thing as a Vampire?

L: They are real!

Z: No they aren't.

L: Whatever. So you kissed his head. What did he do?

Z: He seemed shocked, but I left before he really had time to do anything.

L: Go talk to him or at least go down the stairs. He might not be angry.

Z: Okay but if I die... It is on you.

With that we hung up and I got out of bed and headed to the shower. When I got out I headed towards the basement.

NIALL'S POV:

I had woken up, but I doubted that I would see him. He seemed terrified yesterday and I knew people had a weak metabolism for fear. Maybe it was me who had to go see him and tell him everything. Before I could make a rational decision I heard the door opening and knew he was coming down. I braced myself for him telling me one of us would be leaving. That didn't happen as he rounded the corner and saw me.

Before I could say anything he was talking. "I am sorry for yesterday. I know it was inappropriate and I shouldn't have, but I am so used to my best mates and we do that all the time. I just got to comfortable and I am sorry."

I was shocked again but responded anyways. "No need for apologies. I was just surprised. It was a nice gesture and I have no reason to be angry. It was really sweet and I don't mind it if you continue than fine." I wasn't surprised as the words ran from my mouth. I had that type of mouth that said things without permission. I smiled to soften what I said even more and I finally saw his gorgeous smile form.

"Thanks. It is just what I am used to so..." he trailed off. I heard the faint buzzing as he pulled his phone from his pocket and his eyes glistened as he slid his finger across the screen, but instead of tapping he was putting it to his ear. That was the call thing he was talking about. I listened as he started to speak.

"Yes Haz. I know that you might be the only one I didn't consult before making a decision again." He stopped and seemed to listen before talking. "No Haz I won't apologize. You don't need to know everything. Calm down! You can come and be the first to visit if you want." More silence. "Okay. You know where Mills Creek is. I will meet you at the entering signs." Quiet. I hated when he went silent and talked. Was he talking to someone or was he just crazy? "Ya tomorrow at noon. I will be there. Bring the others if you want. Bye, talk to you tomorrow!"

He pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at me. He must have seen my confused face, because he was quick to explain. "That was the call thing I was telling you about where someone and I could talk wirelessly. That was my friend Harry if you didn't pick up on that. He and maybe Lou and or Liam will be coming by tomorrow for a visit. I can keep them away from the basement if you want."

I smiled and nodded. I was trying to get used to one person, I definitely wasn't ready for four. I walked over to my bed and sat, but that seemed to make alarm bells go off in his head. He rushed after me and was talking in no time. "I am so sorry. Should I cancel the visit? I wasn't really thinking. I will call them now and cancel so that...." I cut him off by setting my lips on his. I hadn't kissed anyone for about 200 years and I caught myself off-guard. I pulled away only moments after, fearing rejection. What was I thinking if he ran from a peck on the forehead? I was such an idiot.

He was totally shocked when I pulled back and I automatically regreted it. He was sure to boot me out right after that. I looked at the ground and decided to apologize. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

ZAYN'S POV:

I felt him pull back and look down. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have done that." The words rolled off his tongue like he had been preparing to say it forever. I had never felt so many fireworks as I just had, but I was beyond confused. Why had he done that and why did I like it?

I didn't want him to feel bad and quickly countered his apology. "No, don't feel bad. I liked it. Calm down it was fine. I am okay with that. Don't apologize for things that you don't need to." He seemed unsure so I did what I would do with any girl that felt bad for kissing me. I leaned down and lightly pressed my lips to his. My stomach ignited almost immediately and I felt his arms wrap around my neck. I had mine resting on his hips as the kiss deepened. I didn't want to do something that either of us would regret so I pulled back and smiled at him.

His eyes watched me intently as I undid the covers on his bed and pulled them back. He didn't get the hint so I talked. "Get in. Don't worry I swear I won't hurt you." He clambered into the bed without a second thought and I climbed in after him. I pulled the blanket over us and rested his head on my chest. He was asleep almost instantly and I followed closely behind.
