Creatures Lurking in The Dark (Ziall AU)

Just a Bit of Love Hate

ZAYN'S POV:

Why was Harry acting so strange with everything? I thought that out of everyone he would be the most supportive out of my friends. I never expected him to try to beat up Niall for giving me affection. I was beyond confused by his devilish actions. Could he be jealous? Could he actually like me after everything and just be unsure of how to show it?

There was no way or chance that he could like me. I wasn't good for him and anyways, he wasn't gay. Wasn't he bi though? Hadn't he told me he was in fear and anticipation that I could never like him since he was? I was growing more and more confused by the second as I thought about how Harry had reacted. I felt myself almost simultaneously driving towards my new house. The one I shared with my beautiful boy Niall.

My mind stayed on Harry the entire drive home and I felt very held back. I wasn't sure why he clouded my mind so rapidly, but he did. I tried to put my thoughts back on Niall, but I couldn't. Harry was everything that swarmed my mind other than the tantalizing fact that I was thinking way too much about another boy when my boyfriend was right beside me.

I was pulled from my thoughts when I felt something grab my arm and looked over to find a very worried looking Niall beside me. I saw that we were pulled into the driveway, but everything was still locked and the engine was still going. I looked behind me to find Liam and Louis confused and Harry grimace at the touch that Niall had set on me.

I turned the ignition off and climbed out of the car that everyone was sitting in. Niall gripped my hand when we got out of the car and I smiled down to him. I started to think about the boys and where they would sleep. I guessed I would have to keep them in my room and I could stay in the basement with Niall. I looked at the rest of them as they climbed out of the car and landed on the ground with a thud. I smiled and led them into the small house to hear Liam gasp and Harry and Louis just giggled quietly. I knew that it was disorganized and I had hardly any food but I still found Liam's reaction hilarious. I knew that he would be shocked.

I let out a small chuckle and walked farther into my home. I could hear Liam grumbling behind me, saying something about how I was so stupid to not have seen the house before I bought it because maybe than I would have a functional home. I continued to listen to his almost silent rant and laughed at certain bits. He was totally convinced that I was an idiot.

Niall seemed confused by my small laughs and random gasps. Some of what he was saying was actually quite insulting and I couldn't help but be a bit offended. Niall finally squeezed my hand to bring me back to earth. I smiled as we walked into the kitchen and Liam just plain out gasped and started stuttering. I saw the rest of the boys give him confused looks and worried smiles. He stared straight at me with his jaw hanging down and a very confused look.

"How in the world are you alive? You have no appliances!" He accused. I just shrugged and grabbed the chips. I pulled a few out for myself than handed them to Niall who's eyes lite up immediately. I started to wonder about how much he ate and when was the last time he did. He was always so skinny and I started to worry. Had he been starved because of inability to survive alone?

Liam looked at us and than just sighed. "Do you at least have something to do or eat other than that?" He asked as he pointed at the chips that Niall was inhaling.

I looked at him and rolled my eyes. "Ya I have a lot of stuff just nothing refrigerated. I have like bread and cookies." I laughed. I wasn't sure what I had if I had anything, but I wanted to act like I did.

Louis ran in and started to yell making Niall tense. "COOKIES!!!! WHERE ARE THE COOKIES ZAYNIE!!!!" Niall looked confused by the name but just continued to munch on the chips. I started to hope that I had some cookies, because I couldn't remember buying any.

I looked at my food pile and groaned. There were no cookies. "Sorry Lou. I lied, I don't have any cookies. Do you want some chips?" I offered as I grabbed the bag from Niall. He glared at me, but stood still and didn't complain. Louis snatched the chips and left the room in a huff. I couldn't help but laugh a bit at his child like ways. Liam followed him out and I was left alone Niall. I looked at him and gave him a slight kiss.

"Don't worry babe. You are the only one that gets my lips." I joked about the chips that I had stolen and given away only moments before. I heard him laugh lightly as I pulled back and led him into the other room with the boys.
