Zayn had been stuck in the studio for quite some time now, working on his brand new album, Icarus Falls. It was supposed to come out earlier this year, but due to his label pushing it back to time it right with his second "break-up" with Gigi, he didn't exactly know when to release it. He was just glad that it was over now that him and Liam took matters into their own hands, deciding to record some more songs to add as an apology for keeping everyone waiting.

He hummed a melody as his eyes scanned each word that he wrote down, his brows narrowed a little in concentration. He would often scratch some words away where he thought they didn't fit whilst writing some new ones above, repeating the sentence over and over to check if it made any sense.

"You coming around okay?" James asked Zayn once he walked into the studio, carrying two bags of chick-fill-a.

"Not really." The Bradford latter sighed, rubbing at his face. "I'm trying but nothing sounds good." He released a heavy breath and looked over at his producer.

James chuckled. "You've been working all day on that song, maybe you should take a break." He said and put the bags on the coffee table, motioning for him to eat something.

"I don't want to." Zayn said stubbornly. "I need to get this done in ti–"

"Zayn," the other man gave him a look, "you have time. Enough time even. Now get over here and eat. We can work on the song once we're done." He said and pulled out a burger and some fries from his bag, setting everything up before eating.

The twenty-five year old huffed and rolled his eyes in annoyance, but did as told. He placed his journal aside and stood up from the chair, walking over to the couch where his producer was sitting on and joined him. He snatched his bag away and pulled out the chicken burger that was bought for him as well as some curly fries, onion rings and a large coke. Just like James, he set his sauces up before digging into the delicious, greasy food, moaning at how good it tasted. It's been hours since he last ate and he was truly, remarkably hungry.

Whilst enjoying his meal, his phone vibrated from the coffee table, causing his attention to drift to the mobile device. His eyes lit up once he saw the notification and he dropped his burger onto the sprawled out wrapping, wiping his hands with a napkin and grabbing his phone to unlock it.
