On The Outside Looking In (Zouis fanfic)

Zayn Malik was a writer who enjoyed the company of his former neighbor, Ms. Wilson; a woman around her nineties that acted like the friend Zayn had always wanted (though he'd never admit that). When she passes Zayn shuts himself out and away from the world, angry and confused at his sudden loss. But, when Ms. Wilson's family moves into the house, her one and only grandson catches Zayn's attention. Still in the midst of mourning, Zayn desperately tries to keep himself away from the boy. But, of course, Louis Tomlinson never takes no for an answer. Despite countless arguments, awkward encounters, and nights of talking through their windows, they find themselves in more than just a friendship.
