As all of them settled down in chairs and couch in the living room, Harry's eyes could not leave Louis out of his sight. The way he was staring at the boy was not at all acceptable as per Liam's standards of staring. So it was Liam to break Harry's trance and asked him to get their guests something to drink. It took more than a moment for Harry to gather himself up from the chair arm he was sitting on.

"Umm.. Nick and Andy, beer is cool?", asked Harry as he started walking towards kitchen. They both nodded and then Harry stopped in his tracks and turned around and asked Louis, who was too busy in admiring the place, taking in all the details, to notice Harry's soft gaze on himself.

"What would you like, Louis?" Harry couldn't help but notice the speed at which Zayn turned his head in Harry's direction and then at Louis. Of course, Zayn had noticed the way Harry was looking at Louis but the softness in Harry's raspy voice had him giving out his curiosity in the matter.

Louis looked at Andy, so unsure if he was allowed to tell this guy what he wanted or not. Andy gave him an assertive nod and small smile. Louis looked back at Harry, fixed back his fringe, again, before speaking, "A glass of water would be fine".

Liam, who was (not as much as Harry) fascinated by the innocent and soft boy in front of him, spoke up, "A glass of water for me too, Haz. I am not feeling like beer at the moment." And this time Zayn's head turned at Liam, who tried his best to avoid his dark haired boyfriend's questioning gaze.

It took them almost an hour to roam around the house and finally settle in kitchen for lunch. Few comments which they got from Louis, were all positively indicating that he was okay with living here with the boys. As they all settled in chairs at the table, Louis asked Andy in hushed tone, "Andy, you said there were four of them. But I don't see the forth one."

Andy sat straight and voiced Louis' question on his behalf, asking Niall's whereabouts. Liam and Zayn shared a look before Zayn said that Niall was not feeling well and was resting in his room. Zayn filled up an empty plate with as much of food that could keep Louis' appetite for at least two days.

When Harry asked him what he was doing, Zayn just stared at him disbelievingly before telling him that he was taking Niall's lunch in his room and he would also eat with him there. He then took both plates in each of his hands and climbed the fleet of stairs to Niall's room.

With the look that Zayn had given, Harry got hurt. He had not forgot Niall. Instead, he was hoping that Niall will come down, not for sake of meeting the guests, but for food at least. But the way Zayn looked at him, he was sure that Zayn thought, he had forgot that Niall has not eaten anything since morning breakfast. He looked at Liam for some assurance. Liam, as understanding he was, gave a sad smile to Harry and squeezed his knee under the table.

Nick and Andy, both were busy whispering something to each other to notice the exchange between the boys in front of them, but Louis was sure that something was not right with him being there.

Meanwhile, Zayn opened the door with his foot and strolled in Niall's room. The bed was empty, which heightened his tension. But not long before he noticed Niall standing by the window. He put down both the plates on the table near the wall opposite bed and walked towards Niall before snaking his arms around Niall's stomach and placing his lips on Niall's exposed skin of his neck. Niall startled and tried to turn around but Zayn held him tighter and pushed him forwards until Niall's front was pressed flush against the wall below the window.

"Hey NiNi, you feeling alright?", Zayn spoke softly, trying not to break the soothing silence which surrounded them.

Niall took a deep breath before speaking, "Yeah. I don't know what happened back there in morning. I don't know, Zayn. I don't know why, but this thing is making me feel insecure."

"Insecure? As in?"

"He is younger than us all, right?", Niall waited till he felt Zayn nod his head on his shoulder. "I was the youngest one till now. I was the one who got pampered all the time by all of you. And now this, Louis, he will get all the attention". Zayn could feel Niall on the edge of crying. His voice quivering while he spoke.

Zayn slowly turned Niall around by his shoulders, but never releasing him from the space between himself and the window wall. Niall looked down in embarrassment. Who would like to cry like a child over this child like reason, in front of their, near to Model looking, boyfriend?

Zayn hooked his index finger under Niall's chin and urged him to look into his eyes. When they had their eyes locked, Zayn spoke up, "He is younger than you, but he is not YOU Niall. He has this dirty brown hair, unlike your beautiful blond locks. His skin is too tanned, total contrast to your delicious milky white skin". Niall whimpered at the intensity on the words that left Zayn's mouth in his obscenely sexy voice, and the kisses he was leaving on Niall's neck and jaw was not helping the matter in his pants.

"Zayn", Niall wrapped his hands around Zayn's strong biceps and tried to rut his hips against Zayn's but Zayn held him tighter in his grip, "Shh.. I am not quite finished yet, babycakes".

Zayn punctuated his last sentence with a bit on Niall's earlobe before continuing his reasoning, "and moreover, his eyes.. his eyes are blue but unlike yours. Your eyes are so bright, always sparkling, just like pure water in the sea or the sky above. His has a shade of green in them." With that, Zayn attached his lips with Niall's and kissed him to show him, how seriously he meant each and every word he spoke now. His hands running up and down Niall's sides, baring his skin in the process from the shield of his cloths.

As Zayn was about to start humping into Niall, their spell got broken by the loud horn of Nick's car. Niall turned around with Zayn pressed into his back. Zayn's now hard cock pressed in his ass and his own hard on, on the window wall. Nick and Andy waved at them, which they retuned little shyly. Niall saw Harry and Liam standing at some distance from the car. Apparently, the boys had got done with their lunch and were leaving already. And then his eyes landed on the boy who was staring back at him, straight in his eyes.

The next thing Zayn heard is Niall murmuring, "Isn't he the cutest thing on earth?"
