Before they even drove into the street the TV studio was located on, they could already hear the fans calling out to them with a constant 'One Direction!' When the car actually turns into the street, Zayn's eyes widened slightly. Yeah they were used to always having a large amount of fans waiting for them, but lately there seem to be more and more fans. It was like they multiplied themselves or something, Zayn though with a little shake of his head. Not that he was complaining.

As the car came to a stop at the studio, he noticed that the security guards both held the fans back as well as creating a path for them to get to the door. One of the guards opened the door and Louis and Harry climbed out of the car. The noise the fans made was almost deafening and made Zayn wince a little. He was about to follow the other two, but first glanced back at Niall to see how he was doing. But the Irish lad was almost bouncing in his seat, grinning and waving at the fans.

With a small smile he too got out of the car. Immediately there were hands on him. Touching him, squeezing him at every part of his body they could reach. He heard them screaming his name, asking him questions, but he couldn't understand any of it. It was simple too loud, too many girls asking him things at once. It was insane. So he just smiled and took a couple of pictures with them. Signed a few things before he let the guard lead him towards the door.

He almost reached the it when he started to notice that the fans seem to get closer and closer to him. Frowning he looked back, only to see that the path he had just walked on was almost gone. He saw that the security guards had trouble maintaining the enthusiastic fans, who desperately tried to get closer. Worried his eyes immediately started searching for Niall. Knowing of the younger boys claustrophobia.

The moment his eyes came to rest on the familiar blond, he knew Niall was in trouble. Pulling away from the guard he immediately started moving towards his bandmate. Who was standing there frozen, but Zayn could see the boy's body shaking slightly. Noticed how his blue eyes were darting nervously and unfocused to all the people around him.

Pushing past the fans, he passed Liam who, as the Daddy Direction he was, tried to calm the fans a little so they'd stopped moving closer. But at this point he could care less. Niall was all he could think about.

As soon as he arrived at the smaller boy's side, he wrapped his arm around him. Pulling him against his own body. “Hey Niall it's me Zayn” he whispered into the blonds ear. “I'm here. I've got you.” But Niall's body stayed tense and Zayn knew he had to get him away from here, away from the fans. “Come on my little leprechaun. I'm getting you out of here” he said to him, tucking him closer. It was than that he felt the blond nod a little and bury his head in Zayn's neck. Tightening his hold even more on him, he whispered: “It's ok. I've got you baby.” As he started moving towards the entrance door. Pushing through the mass of fans with Niall clamping at him for dear life.

He was relieved when they finally made it to the door. He nodded slightly at the security guard at there as they passed him. Stumbling inside as the guard immediately closed the door behind them. Blocking out most of the screams.

Immediately he pulled Niall into a full hug.“Shh Nialler. It's ok, we're inside now baby” he spoke softly. His hand reaching for the others head, pulling slightly on the blond locks to move his head. Forcing the unfocused blue eyes to look at his own eyes. “Look at me Niall baby. You are safe now. They can't hurt you anymore” he said as his fingers started to massage blond's skull. Trying to sooth him as he kept whispering calm and encouraging words.

He only stopped when he saw those lovely blue eyes becoming clear and focused again. He smiled softly, which widened the moment he saw Niall returning it with a smile of his own. “Welcome back my little leprechaun” he said. Softly pressing a kiss on the blond's lips. When he pulled back Niall grinned at him and pulled him into another kiss. Wrapping his arms around Zayn's neck.

“Oi lovebirds. We've got an interview to get to, you know” Louis said annoyed, but when they pulled away they could see the grin on the face of their oldest bandmate.

“Sorry” Niall mumbled. Snuggling into Zayn's chest.

Harry just grinned widely and winked at them, but Liam still looked slightly worried. 'You're ok Niall?”

Niall nodded and smiled. “Yeah.” He answered before looking up at him. “Thanks to Zayn.”

The older smiled and pressed a kiss on the blonds forehead. “Anytime babe. I'll always protect my little leprechaun.”

Niall giggled and blushed a little. “I know” he said, before resting his head on his boyfriends shoulder.

And with that they left to do the interview.
