Steal my Heart (ZARRY AU)

Chapter 6

Harry grabbed the cotton balls and put a little alcohol on it. He's at Zayn's truck now tending to his wounds from Louis' punches.

He gently dabbed the cotton balls on Zayn's face "What exactly happened that Louis hit you this hard?" Harry asked as Zayn stares at him, he's so close his face that he could smell Harry's fresh breath "Nothing" Zayn answered with a shrug "This is not nothing" Harry said as he changed the cotton balls. He dabbed another cotton on Zayn's bruised face.

Zayn's in awe as he can feel how gentle Harry is. The way his hand moves, he can feel that he has a very delicate hand. Or where Zayn brought back what he said as Harry intentionally pressed the cotton hardly on his face "Ow, not too hard" Zayn hissed as Harry smiled a little "Sorry" Harry whispered "So you're enjoying this huh?" Zayn asked as Harry looks at him "I am not!" Harry protested, suppressing his giggle "You are, aren't you? You like to see me get all punched up" Zayn said as Harry stopped dabbing the cotton and stared at Zayn for a while and then he laughed "Sorry! I was just—" more laughter "—maybe you deserve this" Harry said as his laughter slowly dies down "How so? I didn't do anything to your friend. He attacked me first" Zayn argued "Well yeah, but you deserved this after playing with the feelings of all the people you messed with" Harry said and again, a slap of truth.

Zayn cleared his throat. He didn't know what to say.

Usually he has a banter when topics are like this but when Harry was the one saying it, he was speechless "Let me cover your bruise with gauze" Harry said as he put the gauze on his cheek. Harry's hands are so gentle and Zayn can say that he's a caring person—A very caring person "Okay, you're all patched up" Harry smiled as he fix the first aid kit "Thank you, Harry" Zayn said in a low tone as Harry smiled with his teeth out "You're welcome" And with Harry's smile, Zayn's heart flutters—again! What is this?! He was feeling this since last night! He feels like something's inside his stomach is flopping their wings and its giving him a giddy feeling "I'll be the one to apologize for Louis, sorry for beating you" Harry said as Zayn stared at Harry.

This beautiful and caring man has the most greenest eyes he'd ever seen and those smile, he looks beautiful with his white pearly teeth and his dimples. As Zayn realizes he's staring too much, he shake his head, did he just examined Harry's face? He never do that! Like ever! But with Harry, why everything changes?

"So I guess I'll go now" Harry awkwardly said as he put the first aid kit at the comparment and held the handle to the door "Wait, I'll take you to your dorm" Zayn barged in and insisted as Harry looks at him and gave a smile "Okay, thanks"

The ride back to the dorm was as usual, quiet.

Harry was just looking at the lamp posts....again as Zayn is focusing on the road "Wanna listen to some tunes?" Zayn asked as Harry looks at him and nodded "Sure, what do you have?" Harry asked as Zayn's heart flutters again, oh boy "Uhm, I have my mix tape, wanna listen?" Zayn said as he told Harry where he places his flash drive. As soon as Harry has the flash drive, he plugged it on the console and within a minute, Harry can hear a familiar voice singing *insert Zayn's I'm a fool for you* Harry listened to the song, his eyes widened realizing the voice belongs to Zayn "You made this?" Harry excitedly asked as Zayn nodded "Wow, you have a great voice" Harry complemented as Zayn's heart started beat like crazy!

This is not a feeling of liking someone right?

"Wow, you're so brilliant. I write songs too but only when I'm bored" Harry shared "Really? Awesome. Want to share it with me? Since, I've shared one of my secrets to you" Zayn smiled "So your mix tape is your secret?" Zayn nodded "I've never shared that to anyone" Zayn honestly said "Why did you shared it with me?" Harry asked as Zayn was speechless again. Yeah, why did he shared the mix tape to Harry? He'd never shared this with anyone, even to Liam. But with Harry, he wanted him to know more about him. Harry stares at Zayn, waiting for his reply "So? Why did you share it with me?" Harry asked again as Zayn shrugged "Whatever, its just a song" Zayn answered as both of them got quiet again.

As they've reached Harry's dorm, Harry face Zayn and gave a smile  "Thanks for the lift Zayn" Harry said as he held the handl of the door "Don't forget to cure those bruises" Harry added as he opened the door and got off the truck. Zayn lowered down the window for him to see Harry.

Harry wave a hand "Bye" Zayn said with a smiley face and even said "Good night" as Harry gave him a sweet smile and nodded his head. Zayn started its engine and started to drove off as Harry watches him but the truck stop midway. Harry was confused, why did it stopped? Then Zayn's truck backed up and back to where it was before. Zayn peeked his head to the window and look at Harry "Do you want to go with me to the University acquaintance party?" Zayn shyly asked and he is literally sweating from being shy. Harry gave him a confusing look "I mean, it's okay if you won't. You'll probably busy or whatever—"

"Sure" Harry answered smiling as Zayn can't believe it! He just said yes "We'll go as friends" Harry added as Zayn awkwardly laugh "Yeah, sure, friends" Zayn then smiled as he wave a hand and slowly pulled the window up. Harry wave a hand as Zayn finally drove off.

Zayn can't hide his smile.

Harry just agreed to go with him on the Party but as friends. It's okay though, at least he'll get to spend his time with Harry and that's the only thing that matters.
