Recap

"So Zayn, what just happened?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Zayn racked his brain for a convincing excuse, but none came up. "Nothing," he mumbled hoping Liam would drop it.

      "Are you sure? because that didn't seem like nothing," "Can you just drop it?" Zayn tried.

      "Fine, I'll drop it. Though, the other boys might not."

      With that, Liam walked out of the stall back into rehearsals. Zayn groaned, "Why does Liam have to be so honest with the boys?" After a while of sitting there and debating on what to do, Zayn got up and brushed himself off, and decided to not go back to rehearsals. He'll admit; it wasn't his best decision, but it would be way too embarrassing for him to go back in.

      Zayn wandered around backstage to 'kill time', but really that was an excuse to find out something he shouldn't know. Just when he though there was nothing interesting, he saw Simon talking the the choreographer, which was odd because Simon was never at their rehearsals, or anything of that sort.

      "Yeah, I know. He was never one for dancing, or anything he thought would make him 'look like an idiot'."

      "I will figure out something easy for him to learn quickly, but he probably will be in the back."

      "That will be fine, just make sure he is included."

      Zayn knew they were talking about him, but really, it wasn't anything new. 'Nobody cares about me in concerts anyways' he thought. Since the choreographer obviously wasn't teaching the boys anymore, Zayn figured rehearsals were over. So he walked over to the dressing room to find the other boys messing around. 'Thank Allah' (is that right?) he thought. 'He hasn't told them yet'.

      Zayn started to change, and listen in on their conversation. "I like cuddling with Zayn most," Niall stated.

      "Yeah, aside from me, Zayn is the best," Liam agreed. Zayn tried to hold in his smile, to be the second best made him so happy. Even though he wanted to be the best, he had to agree that Liam was definately better.

       "You two are just the best because you are bigger," Louis argued.

       Liam faked a gasp, "Are you calling me fat?"

       "Noooo, you have more muscle so you are better at cuddling," Louis said as he nuzzled into Liam's side.

       Zayn looked in the mirror; he didn't have as much muscle as Liam. 'I guess I have gotten a little bigger'  he thought. Zayn decided that he would go on a diet, and it would start now.

       "Zayyynnn," Niall pouted. "The other boys are cuddling without me."

        Zayn held in his smile," Really? Well I guess you are stuck with me."

        Niall let out a grin as he crawled onto Zayn. Zayn ran his fingers through Niall's hair, and let his mind drift off. While Niall just enjoyed the embrace of his boyfriend. Zayn glanced over to the other boys, and saw Liam whispering to them. Zayn knew that Liam was telling them about his 'incident', but he didn't know why Niall wasn't with them. He certainly wasn't going to tell him on his own either. So he decided to brush it off.

        Harry, Liam, and Louis deemed themselves as the more mature ones in the relationship. It was only because they knew how sensitive the other two could be. It wasn't like Zayn and Niall were treated differently; it's just when it comes to problems or bumps in the road, Harry, Louis, and Liam tend to be the ones to deal with them. Only one problem, they don't know, but with good reason. They love those two, and wouldn't want them to change because they are sensitive.

      "So is he alright now?" Harry questioned, while glancing over at his boyfriend.

      "I'm not really sure. He certainly won't let us know if he isn't, so we should keep our eye on him just in case." Liam replied while the other two agreed.

      "I think we should really get going, maybe even grab something to eat. We can talk about it later, and with Zayn and Niall." Louis decided.

      With that, they all headed out and grabbed pizza for dinner. When they arrived to the house, all the boys were happy to dig in, well all except one. 'Just one'  Zayn thought, but then he remembered that this was for more self-control in his diet. He walked into the kitchen and dug through the fridge to find nothing he deemed healthy. 'Have I really been eating all this junk?' he thought as he looked through the ingredients in each item. After deciding that he had to go shopping tomorrow, he made the decision to just skip dinner entirely.

      When he walked back out he saw that they had left a spot between Liam and Louis, and he was pretty sure that they had planned that. Nonetheless he took his seat hoped no one would notice his lack of food, and he almost got away with it, almost. It was so close that even Zayn himself thought he had gotten away with it, but Niall had noticed.

      "Did we not leave any pizza for you?" he questioned. "Umm," Zayn mumbled while he thought up an excuse, "I'm sick, so I don't really have a appetite."

      They had caught the attention of the other boys, but they just cuddled him and put on a movie. He was sick, so of course he didn't need food. He  needed their cuddles. Zayn couldn't help but feel quilty. 'It's fine' Zayn thought. Besides, it was only one meal, right?
