Reality Check UNDER EDIT

9. Homecoming's & First Dates

Zayn's POV:

I promised myself that I would wake up early and bring a home cooked breakfast for Niall. I wanted, no needed, today to be perfect if it was the last thing I did today. Niall has gone through more than enough pain and suffering for a while now and, honestly, I couldn't stand to see it happen any longer than it already did. So today was my promise to myself. From this day on, I will try and pursue happiness for Niall. No way in hell was I going to let some simple minded, egotistic, homophobe come between my Niall and I. There I go again calling him mine when I know I am from that at the moment. I didn't know what foods Niall liked and disliked. Now that I realty think about it; I didn't really Niall at all. Well that needed to change soon but maybe not too soon. I can't be putting him through too much right now. Not since the doctor told me he was going to be very fragile and vulnerable. I hated those two words. They made him sound so weak and I knew Niall wasn't weak minded. He is stronger and more beautiful than anyone else I have seen. Zayn, mate, you need to stop with all of this! He's consuming your mind! Wow, talking to myself, which has to be a new low. Moving on from my distraught thoughts I decided to make Niall some scrambled eggs, home-styled potatoes, bacon, and some toast. I also threw in a side of orange juice and pancakes just in case he was extremely hungry. I know I would get sick of eating all of that hospital food. After prepping all of the food and getting ready I asked to barrow my parents car and I drove down to the hospital. I was barely reaching seven am and I wanted to be here before Niall even woke up. I had something pretty special planned out for him and part of that plan was for him to be overwhelmed and shocked, but in a good way, of course.

Niall's POV:

I woke up from my slumber feeling refreshed and a lot better than I did yesterday. I briefly remember taking some medicine from a nurse and then falling asleep but not without remembering Zayn's goodnight kiss, which caused a rosy blush to run across my cheeks. I turned over expecting Zayn to be there but he wasn't and I was bummed at the moment until I looked was ahead of me. Placed in front of me on a tray was breakfast set up for me hot and steaming. And, oh boy, did this all to good to be true. Beside my breakfast was a little handmade note with a drawing on the front of-what? It was a drawing of what it seemed to be Zayn and I. I opened the card and there lied the note that made my heart flutter. The note read:

"Good morning Niall! Hope you slept well and I hope you're feeling a lot better. Breakfast for my, one and only, Prince. Eat up, get dressed and meet me down in the waiting room in 20 minutes! -Zayn xx"

Well Zayn is certainly being creative, isn't he? I started on my breakfast and holy shit was this the best breakfast I have ever had! Or maybe it was the fact that Zayn made along with that note. I chuckled a bit to myself finding that I was in a much better mood than I have been in while and it felt sort of-nice.

After I finished breakfast, I cleaned myself up and got dressed. I headed down to the check out area and saw Zayn there, patiently waiting, as usual. I decided to have a little seeing as he hadn't noticed me yet. I walked up behind him and placed my hands over his eyes and said "Sir, you are under arrest for nothing being there when I woke up" and then started laughing because I was in such a great mood. Zayn turned around smiled at me. That big ol' heart whelming smile that made me feel a knot in my chest. He replied with a simple "I wanted it to be a surprise" and I didn't know what else to do but give him a kiss on the cheek to which he blushed. Wait, Zayn blushing? No way! Zayn stood up and grabbed my hand before leading me out the door.

"Do you remember what I told you yesterday?" He asked.

"Yeah, I remember it all. Are you, um referring to something specific you said yesterday?"

"Why yes, I am. If you don't recall, I told you I was going to take care of you today and not let you out of my sight. So that means you're stuck with me!"
