"No. . . We'll do it." Niall spoke, his lips fixed in a fine line. "Really?" Louis was shocked.

"Ni, if you're forcing yourself to do this I suggest not, we'll think of a way." Zayn soothed, patting Niall's shoulder.

"No, Zayn, I'm not forcing myself." Niall answered with a strong voice which made Zayn realize that he was reallly going on for this, he's fixated with the idea. "This isn't the right time but well. . You like me, right?"

Zayn remained still for a moment, everything is too sudden. Although the answer seemed obvious, Zayn nodded. Hell, he was in love with him. "And I like you too, so there's nothing wrong with being together right?"

"Wait are you. . . ?" Zayn inquired, confused. He needs time to absorb with what's happening, he's trying to catch up. "Yes, I am. I'm asking you to be my boyfriend." The blonde boy answered him before he could even finish his question.  Niall looked into Zayn's eyes, blue eyes pleading over the amber ones. 

Zayn stood up, he can't keep up with the eye contact because he'll end up saying yes. "No, Niall. I can't. Not in this way."

"What do you mean, Zee? You don't like being with me?" Niall gave him those puppy eyes. "It's not like I don't like being with you in fact it's the other way round but I can't let things happen this way. I'm serious with you Niall. My feelings that is. It's like you're toying with them right now. I don't want you forcing yourself, I will wait."

"I'm not toying with your feelings, Zee. Nor I'm forcing myself." Niall stood up, lifting Zayn's head to face him. "It's just that since we both like each other, and we both know it there's no point of making you wait any longer. We can be together right now and I think this is kind of right timing."

"Why?" Zayn's voice was soft.

"Since this is our chance to out ourselves, at least with that we can be free to do what we want and also everyone will know we're together. Don't you want that?" Niall's eyes once again stared at Zayn's amber ones. This time, the gaze was more pleading and determined.

Zayn weighed it for a minute, half was battling with his other half. Niall made a great point, he admits he want to know the world that Niall is his and he could only do it if they announced they're together and it's making him ecstatic that Niall wants it as well but he was held back because he doesn't know if Niall's doing this just because he know he likes him and that he's so attached to him at the moment. He doesn't know if Niall's feelings were genuine, he doesn't know if Niall was saying it because it's what he needs to not want.

"Are you sure about this?" Zayn asked, voice was dry.

"Definitely. I know you don't believe me right now because back then I was so harsh to you, I said mean things that I just said because I was so mad and frustrated of you, but just so you know I didn't mean any of those. That moment, I wanted to hug you and say I miss you but I couldn't. My emotions blinded me and you cured me out of it when you saved me because when you did, it reminded me back of the past, where you were always protecting me and right then and there I realized it, that I don't hate you no not at all instead I love you."  Niall hugged Zayn, tightly.

Zayn was practically in tears because it happened. Niall said the three words he wanted to hear from him ever since and right now Niall's in his arms. He swear he's the happiest man alive right now, all thanks to Niall. "Now I believe you." He wiped his tears and chuckled, making Niall let out a chuckle as well as they hugged each other again.

"Well then it's settled!" Harry clapped his big hands. "Yep." Louis added.

"You guys go on with the shooting, Harry and I will handle everything." Louis assured, fishing out his phone.
