"Love you," Harry replies numbly, before whispering a low "Fuck" once the line is dead. Wonderful, truly wonderful. How is he going to find a boyfriend in two fucking weeks?

And though he has already chalked his life up to be nothing but a complete failure, he learns that not everything about himself is as overbearingly disappointing as he thinks it is.

OR: Harry and Zayn are about to get divorced and they may have started to question that decision. Originally posted on Archive of Our Own. ©dattumblrgal
