THE BOND ABOVE ALL [Zianourry]

TO THE FUTURE

It was a week after they reached Manchester for their first bit of X factor tour and had done a bunch of gigs that they got two days off. It was definitely a relieving fact for the boys to stay away from the cameras, screaming teen girls and busy schedule for some time.

The day they came to their rented apartment for time being on their last day of work before their two days' break, Harry brought up his idea of the party again. "Let's throw a small party tomorrow evening. You know, just inviting the youngsters from the crew and a couple of my friends too. You'll love them, trust me." he said.

"You know Haz, we just had partied a week before on Zee's birthday." Liam said in a tired tone. "And we exactly know what you mean by a small party. It felt like the whole UK was on my birthday." Zayn muttered bitterly lying on Louis's lap while Louis was giving Harry the 'Zayn's right' look and grinning.

It was true. The next day the boys reached Manchester was the day the boys were going to give Zayn his surprise birthday party, and it was supposed to be small, and Harry was given the responsibility of calling the guests, and he ended up inviting random people from the next doors, just so that they would not complain if the party lasted very long, and the birthday boy ended up getting hugs and kisses from the people he never knew existed.

"I said I'm sorry about it, I'll not call random people this time. I promise." Harry whined with a pout. Harry's pout is really something that you can't resist, and the boys were no exception to that.

So, finally Zayn, who's the least social person among them, rose up from Louis's lap, yawned a little, stretched his rigid muscles, and with the iconic Zayn Malik smile said, "Alright! If Haz wants a party, then we'll have a party."

Before Zayn could even react, he was again on Louis's lap, but there was someone on top of him; Harry, "Thank you so much Zaynie, I love you so much." Harry yelled in excitement and placed a kiss on Zayn's forehead.

"Aww Haz, I love you too, but I am the one to finalize the guest list, I don't trust you." Zayn said scooting closer to Louis. Harry pouted for a moment, but then gave in, "Alright." and went in to plan for the party.

-The next evening-

Guests were already filling in by 8pm, thanks to Zayn that revised Harry's guest list and dismissed around fifty names from the list, there were not much people and they could relax a bit. It was just them, there co-contestants of X-Factor, the X-Factor dancers and band, and some of Harry's friends since he lived close to Manchester.

"Hey guys." Matt, the winner came in with an enthusiastic grin and hugged each one of them and earned the greetings back from the boys.

The party was on fire the moment it started, music playing loudly through the speakers, people dancing without a hesitation, and boozing all over. Maybe it was the boys who were the only sober ones, waiting for their other guest maybe.

It was not until 9:15 that Louis was quite drunk and his heart suddenly started to skip the beats. He actually stood frozen at the place for a moment as though he had seen something unbelievable, like there was something ahead of him that was supposed to be in heaven but was given the job to make Earth look as beautiful as the heaven. His eyes were transfixed on something so precious.

"Hey Chloe." Harry went passing through him to hug the blond girl standing ahead. "Hey Haz. How are you? Long time dude." she said with an enthusiastic smile, hugging him in a quite close friend manner. "I'm fine girl, how are you?" he said pulling from the hug. "I'm great Haz. I am so proud of you, and everyone else at the bakery is too. You're doing great." she said flashing another smile at him.
