Harry woke up in the middle of the night ,feeling cold and heard someone coughing profusely. He turned to see if Zayn was there, but he wasn't. He got up and went to the direction where he heard the noise. He saw Zayn in the couch , his eyes and face all red from the coughing. He ran to him.
"Zaynie, what happened?" He asked.
" It's a flu, I think Haz" Z said and started coughing again.
"Oh my poor baby, why didn't you call me? Harry asked and slowly patted Zayn's back.
" I was coughing a lot Haz. I couldn't sleep and I didn't wanna wake you up. You have a recording in the morning Haz. You must sleep." Z said
" what a perfect excuse! I don't care about the recording now. You are not well. That's my concern." H said and touched Zayn's forehead. "Zayn It's too much. It's like you are on fire. I am gonna call a doc" Harry was getting worried .
"Harrehhh It's a simple flu Haz. An antipyretic tablet is enough.Go and sleep. It will subside" Z forced him.
"Shut up Zaynie. I am going to make you chicken soup .A hot soup might help. And then a cough medication .Then we can go to sleep." H said and stroked Z's messy hair.
"We? We are not sleeping together today. It's contagious. You might get it Haz. I don't wanna make you sick" Z said and removed H's hand from his hair "stay away from me Harreh"
Harry was starting to get angry.
" Zaynie I don't care if I get sick. I wanna take care of you. " H said.
" But I care about you," Z said.
"If you really care, then shut up and wait for me while I prepare the soup" H said, kissed Zayn's forehead and left.
Minutes later Harry came back with hot chicken soup. Zayn was laying down on the couch tired of coughing so much.
He sat down on the floor beside the couch and started stroking his lover's raven locks to wake him up.
"Zee, get up a bit and have this soup.It will help you feel better."
"Mmm Haz " Z said and got up.
Harry took a spoonful of soup and blew a bit to cool it off "Open your mouth Zee"
Z couldn't help but chuckle on his lover's antics.
" Harreh I can eat on my own .Give it to me." Z reached for the spoon but H took it back.
" No I am going to feed you. I want to. Otherwise you won't finish it. I know you hate soups. " H said " Come on have it"
"What if I didn't open my mouth?" Z said playfully.
" Oh you can't resist me Mr Malik . I know you .Come on have it" H smirked. Z started drinking the soup.
" You know me too much Princess" Zayn said.
Harry blushed at that " Of course I know .You are my husband"
" So I Am your husband now, huh?" Zayn chuckled and asked
" Yes you are, even though it's not even to-be" H said
" I didn't even put a ring on this" Z took H' s hand and kissed his ring finger.
Harry leaned closer and whispered to Zayn " We don't need a piece of paper from City Hall "
Zayn was overwhelmed by it.
" But I wanna make you officially mine, kiss you in front of many and show them you are mine" Z said glancing at Harry's lips as he talked.
Harry took this as a cue and leaned to kiss him. But Zayn dodged his head.
" No Haz, I don't wanna give you the germs. "
" Come on Zayn.Just one. I won't get sick" Harry was mad like a kitten now.
" And why is that?" Zayn asked.
" Coz I have a better Immune system than you "H said
" Oh please Haz. It's you who always get sick when touched by a single drop of ice-cold water." Zayn said.
"But I didn't yesterday. I told you not to spend too much time in shower .But you did" Harry said.
"It was very calming to have that after long hours of work.You know that Haz. And a shower with you feels heavenly.So I stayed a little bit more. Is that a mistake?" Z said
"Ohh you are awfully cheesy Zee" Harry blushed. He got up and came back with 2 tablets and a glass of water. " Have it Zaynie"
Zayn gulped it down and began to lay down on the couch.
"Hey Mister. What are you doing?" Harry asked stopping him
"I am going to sleep" Zayn said
"Not here. Get up. Let's go to our room" Harry asked and grabbed his arm trying to get him up.
"Babe...."
Harry cut him off.
"Don't babe me. I am not sleeping without you in my bed. Why do you think I got up? I felt cold and empty without you.If you really want me to take rest, come with me." Harry said. He know his babe couldn't resist him.
"but love..."Zayn tried again.
"No more talking. Get Up. It's 3am. I wanna wake up early." with that he dragged Zayn along with him to their bedroom. Zayn know he can't say no to his baby .That is the effect Harry has on him. Harry help Zayn lay on the bed, tucked him in covers. He kissed Z's temple and was about to get up when Zayn grabbed his hand.
"Harreh..thanks.." Zayn said
" Don't thank me Zee. It's my thing to do. You are my lover, my man, my husband even if we are not married yet. It's my duty to take care of you. You takes care of me every time. I never thank you. It doesn't have to be said. "He squeezed Zayn's hand.
" Aw....I love you so much Harreh..you are my precious princess" With that he kissed Harry's knuckles.
Harry blushed "I love you too Zee"
He got up and laid beside Zayn, wrapping his arms around Zayn and snuggled up to his side. He opened his eyes, smiling when he saw Zayn drifting to sleep. He ran his finger through Zayn's stubble and he felt a lot of butterflies like the first time with him. " I love you Zayn. Good Night." and he drifted off to sleep . Zayn is his home and Harry is sure he can't live a single moment without his Zee and he is sure Zayn has the same feelings.
