"So...what was the bet about?"

"Huh?"

"Don't tell me you have forgotten already, Ni." Zayn chuckled besides him and gave him a sideways glance. "I know you're aware of what I am talking about. What was the bet about?"

If Niall could groan out loud, he would have. But that would have made Zayn even more aware of his refusal to answer the question. He was already embarrassed at being caught while staring at Zayn, by the guy himself.

It wasn't a secret between them, at how attracted Niall was to the dark haired lad, but he still tried to maintain some discretion when at it. Niall liked to gaze at him, mesmerize those lovely features in private, without Zayn knowing about it. It gave him a sort of illusion that he was his secret admirer and his mind liked to participate in this kind of role play, though both parties were aware of it. It was fun, to say the least.

"Um... I can't tell you." Niall mumbled and felt his cheeks heat up instantly.

"Niall..." Zayn's voice held an amused tone and an underlying warning. It caused Niall to shiver even with the hot air blowing around them. "You promised me, Niall. It can't be so bad, tell me."

His boyfriend was very good at coaxing the truth out of him, Niall knew so. He was even better at making Niall fall melt further, when he had those plump lips at work, somewhere else. But Niall immediately squashed that thought and shook his head. He couldn't let his thoughts get the better of him, not now when he was trying harder to avoid the topic.

"It's not important Zayn." Niall half whispered and half whined as his eyes stared straight ahead.

The date had ended quickly after his brief turf with Amy, and Zayn had talked Niall into walking with him, the rest of the way home. It wasn't unusual par se and the lad had come by countless times. But this moment, the brief questionnaire wasn't making him quite enjoy Zayn's company. They hadn't been able to meet much lately, and instead of making up for that time, here they were, with Zayn poking him, to know more about the stupid bet.

Niall sighed. They were almost nearing the path that lead to his house now. He knew, if he could skip the questioning, he might get lucky and race back home. Of course, he had no doubt in his mind that Zayn might give him a chase. But he really wanted to keep the level of his infatuation a secret from his boyfriend, just this one time. He only wanted Zayn to know about it, if the guy dropped a hint about still being as crazy about him as before. If Niall were the only idiotic lovesick puppy, he didn't want to face the disappointment.

He knew Zayn's love for him was as strong as his own, but he had never said it out loud. And some part of Niall, deep in his heart, wanted Zayn to declare his love to the world - even if it wasn't the crazy love of their teenage years. 

"So, you aren't gonna tell me Ni?" Zayn asked again. This time his tone was soft, lulling and almost husky. They were walking side by side and Niall was very aware of the way Zayn's hand had been brushing against his.

He was too focused on the touch to actually reply to Zayn's question and quickly nodded his head. A small breath of relief escaped him and a smile tugged at Niall's lips. The guy thought his troubles were over and that maybe Zayn wasn't as interested in knowing about the bet as before. But he couldn't have been more wrong.
