eighty four

when harry woke up, it was morning. he squinted his eyes, feeling them burn as the light hit them. his throat was dry, and he had a slight migraine. he looked around with his eyes, feeling too tired to move his head. he realized that he was not in his own room, but zayn's. harry doesn't exactly remember how he got here, he had blacked out before they even made it to the surface.

harry sits up, leaning his body against the head board tiredly. he wishes he could sleep some more, but he didn't think he could. he wanted to see zayn and he wasn't exactly sure where he was. he certainly didn't want to be alone at the time. slowly, he slides his legs off the bed and stands up. his legs feel like jello, but ye pushes through it and walks to the door. before he can reach it however, it opens, and in comes zayn.

"babe, you're awake." zayn breaths out. harry throws his arms around zayn's next, weakly embracing him.

"zee." zayn holds him tight, walking him backwards back towards the bed. he sits down, seating harry in his lap. harry practically curls into him like a kitten. "you're okay." harry whispers. zayn strokes his hair.

"i'm okay baby, i'm just happy that you are." zayn replies. "i'm so sorry."

"it's okay zee."

"it's not okay harry. you almost got seriously hurt, nearly killed, because of me."

"babe, it's not your fault, you can't control the actions of others." harry says once he lifted his head from zayn to look at him eye to eye. zayn shakes his head.

"but there's a lot i could've done to prevent it."

"shit happens." harry's says. zayn stares at harry.

"harry, the fact that you seem to careless about nearly dying, concerns me." zayn says truthfully.

"i do care, i just don't want you to blame yourself. you did all you could, and you saved me babe, don't beat yourself up." harry tells him, stroking zayn's cheek gently.

"i knew that me being with you would cause complications, but i didn't care, i just wanted you, and i feel selfish for involving you into in the dangers of my life." zayn admits, rubbing his thumbs against harry's thighs soothingly.

"that doesn't make you selfish. i want to be with you, even if you are what you are, even if you do have a dark past and a complicated life style, i love you zayn, that's all that matters to me."

"i love you, harry." zayn replies, leaning forward to kiss harry. "ever since i saw you with your friends that day, i knew you were something special." zayn says. harry tilts his head in confusion.

"you saw me?" harry asked. zayn smiles widely, realizing he told on himself. he nods, dragging his fingers through harry's hair.

"yeah. last year in the summer before you started school again." zayn tells him. "you were hanging around at the lake, couple days before you went back to school. i was walking around in the woods and happen to see you. you were in short yellow swim trunks all wet and you looked so stunning. couldn't take my eyes off you."

"i thought you said you just happen to "stumble" upon my profile by accident." harry raises an eyebrow in amusement at the new information.

"i lied. i've been just kind of admiring you from afar, and me finding your profile was just a bonus." zayn says sheepishly. harry grins.

"so, you've been stalking me?"

"i was watching over you, but if that's what you humans call it, then yes." zayn smiles cheekily.

"i knew something was off about you when we first talked." harry laughs. zayn scoffs.

"please, you were so oblivious, i'm actually surprised you didn't call me out. i gave myself away multiple times. yet, you still met up with me. i could've easily been a murderer." zayn laughs.

"whatever, you creeper." harry shoves zayn playfully. zayn chuckles and pulls harry in for a kiss. they kiss for about a minute before pulling away and zayn touches foreheads with harry.

"i was so worried about you." zayn whispers.

"i'm okay now babe, especially now that i'm with you." harry says to him, softly. zayn tightens his hold on harry as if someone would snatch him away if he didn't.

"i'll never let anyone hurt you again." he says.

harry snuggles against zayn. despite his throat being dry and he was in need of water, he just wanted to stay right here in zayn's arms for a while and enjoy his warmth. "i love you z."

"i love you, more."
