Jealousy (z.s.)

|nerves|

It was the morning of the show.

Zayn woke up in amazing spirits. He was so in love, and so excited to spend as much time with Harry as he could today.

Leading up to the concert, Zayn wanted to make sure Harry felt special. Without giving too much away.

When Harry woke up, Zayn was already up and moving.

Harry: "good morning baby"

Zayn smiled and turned around

Zayn: "morning my love, how'd you sleep"

Harry: "good, I just have a major fucking hangover"

Zayn: "do you want some ibuprofen?"

Harry: "please"

Zayn washed his hands, slipping the gel from his fingers before he grabbed a few pills and brought them to Harry.

Harry: "thank you"

Zayn: "sure bug, need anything else?"

Harry: "a blow would be nice"

Zayn chuckled

Zayn: "boys are downstairs for breakfast babe, maybe tonight"

Harry groaned and sat up unwillingly in the bed.

After another 20 minutes of getting ready for the day the two of them made their way downstairs to meet with the lads for breakfast.

Paul: "morning you two, how was the sleep?"

Zayn: "really good, thanks"

They all took a spot at a nearby table and discussed the show and the lineup that was expected of them.

Liam: "wait why is little things one of the last songs?"

Paul: "we had some requests from a couple of the boys to put it down further in the lineup"

Louis and Niall smiled at Zayn, proving that they were on board with his surprise.

After their conversation was done, Zayn took it upon himself to have a private conversation with Liam to make sure his head was on right throughout this whole situation.

Zayn: "babe"

Harry glanced over at his boyfriend

Harry: "yeah?"

Zayn: "I'm gonna have a chat with Liam about everything that's been going on because we need to clear the air...please just sit back and let me take care of it okay?"

Harry looked a little jealous but came to terms with the idea and nodded his head

Zayn: "hey Liam, wanna chat bro?"

Liam looked at Harry who was smiling before he confirmed that he was in

They made their way outside and sat down opposite each other at a table that occupied the space

Liam: "what's up?"

Zayn: "I uh...I just wanted to check on you and make sure that everything is okay"

Liam: "you know...I'm getting there I guess. Obviously I have feelings for you, that we both know I need to get rid of. I'm trying, and I'm sorry."

Zayn: "don't apologize for the way you feel, everyone's entitled to that. I just want you to be okay with me and Harry being together, and appreciating it rather than hating him because of it"

Liam: "that was wrong of me to blow up on him, I know it was...and I'm truly sorry"

Zayn: "I'm one hundred percent open to forgiveness Liam, but he deserves an apology soon. That doesn't mean now, but whenever you're ready"

Liam: "0f course"

Zayn: "you're my best friend Li, and you always will be yeah?"

Liam: "best mates for life"

They chuckled as they stood up from the table and hugged each other. Zayn felt a relief wash over him.

Once Liam made his way back inside the hotel, Zayn dialed his mom and put her on the phone. Eager to tell her about his plans for tonight.

Trisha: "hello sunshine"

Zayn: "hey mum"

Trisha: "I'm so glad you called, I've been missing that cute voice of yours"

Zayn: "I actually have something exciting to tell you"

Trisha: "I'm always happy to hear good news, go on Zayn"

Zayn: "you know about me and Harry right?"

Trisha: "of course, I love that boy"

Zayn: "management told us we couldn't publicize our relationship and that broke his heart. When I saw the look on his face I felt terrible"

Trisha: "that's complete rubbish Zayn and you know it"

Zayn: "I do, and that's why I'm going against them and asking Harry to officially be mine in front of the entire crowd tonight"

Trisha: "oh baby boy that's beautiful"

Zayn: "I'm extremely nervous mum, but I need to do it for him. He needs to know how much I want this"

Trisha: "everyone in the world needs to know my love, I'm so excited to hear how it goes"

Zayn: "I love you mum"

Trisha: "I love you two Z, good luck tonight"

Zayn smiled down to himself. He was over the moon excited but, in the back of his mind he was worried that this might push management over the edge.

But Harry's happiness was way more important to him and that's why he knew he had to do it.

A few minutes later, the rest of the boys came back outside and met Zayn.

Harry: "hey babe"

Niall tapped Harry on the back causing him to turn around and see the paparazzi who were watching their every move.

Harry's spirit immediately dropped.

Zayn could tell, but he knew that after tonight Harry could do whatever he wanted in public.

Well maybe not everything...

They packed up into the SUV and Zayn looked at Harry and could tell that tears were coming.

Zayn: "hey, don't worry about it okay?"

Harry: "fuck modest, I'm honestly sick of it at this point Z"

Zayn: "I know babe, just take a deep breath it's all gonna work out"

Harry: "I know, but I can't help but feel like I'm your secret..."

Zayn shifted his entire body and took both of Harry's hands.

Zayn: "why would you ever think that?!"

Harry: "keeping all of this private messes with my head"

Harry let go of Zayn's hands and fell back against the seat.

Zayn: "I would jump out of this car and scream to the entire universe that you were mine if our career wasn't on the line...I promise you that."

Harry: "I know you would. And I love that about you. It's just hard walking past couples on the street holding hands and smiling at each other because I want that to be us"

Zayn look sympathetically at his boyfriend

Zayn: "I love you. You know that?"

Harry: "I love you too babe."

Zayn smiled and wiped a lone tear on Harry's cheek as they pulled up to the venue and made their way inside.
