Zayn has been waiting in front of Harry's house for last thirty minutes. Harry has not revealed himself yet. But he is confident that Harry will come. He is so sure that Harry loves him and he would not give up on Zayn like this. And his conclusion never fails. 

So he kept waiting. 

"Zayn? It has been a long time already, Harry obviously would not show up." 

Niall said with annoyance. He didn't like the fact that Zayn is so obsessed with Des' son. It would not end good. But the worse thing is Niall also being involved in it. He can not leave Zayn in this mess.

"He will come, wait for a bit." Zayn spoke, with certainty. His eyes fixed on the window. 

"How much time will you waste, huh?" Niall whisper yelled suddenly. "The poor boy was worried, he was literally shaking, didn't you see?" 

"Ni, its not because of fear. He was shaking because of excitement". Zayn said, matter of factly, rolling his eyes. 

"Is that so?" Niall huffed, pure irritation pasted on his face. "Well, I wan t o see your face so badly when he breaks your pretty little heart by not showing up."

Zayn was triggered by this. He glanced at Niall who was giving him death glare. 

"You do not believe my words." Zayn responded, with his mysterious smile. 

"Want to bet?" 

This time Niall started laughing hysterically. Zayn said nothing and kept staring at him.

"I will take you to the market and buy you whatever food you want, for one entire week, if he does not show up," Zayn muttered. Niall stopped laughing at looked at Zayn with narrowed eyes. Zayn took his vision to the window. "But! If he shows up, you have to be my slave for the remaining of the week."

Now Niall's once narrowed eyes were now wide like a cow's eye. He scanned Zayn awkwardly, who was smirking. 

"Alright, deal," 

Niall replied and looked at the window, with chest puffed out with fake attitude.

Another hour passed. 

No Harry was seen. 

Zayn was all red now, with anger and embarrassment while Niall had a happy face patched. 

"I told you," Niall mouthed after a while. 

Zayn just stood there. He does not know what to do anymore. According to the situation, he can not meet Harry anymore. But he can not do it. 

He is madly in love with Harry. 

*I should not have been so impatient, I should have given Harry more time.* Zayn made a frustrated groan. 

"It can not always be how you want it to be," Niall mumbled, patting on Zayn's back. "Now about the deal-"

"Niall, shut up and go. Otherwise I will beat you," 

Zayn snapped. Every inch of him burning with anger. He started walking back to the dorm he was staying.

Niall's happy look turned into a sad one immediately, seeing his friend in this condition. "Ok, let's go," he stated in a small voice before following his tempting friend, who was quite ahead of him.

That night, two men were spotted strolling around Harry's house. 

Zayn and Niall.

"We are here again. We shouldn't be here now. Des should be home" 

Niall whispered, his face pale as a ghost in fear. He knows that the consequences would be bad if Des finds out this. But Zayn being Zayn, would never listen to him.

"I must talk to him tonight, I told you." 

Zayn uttered, brain storming for the possible ways of contacting with Harry. His eyes roamed everywhere around him until he spotted some pebbles on the street. 

Without thinking much he picked up some of them and threw one aiming at the window. The very same window where he said Harry to show up. 

"What the hell are you doing? How do you know it's his room? Niall voiced panicking.

 Zayn inhaled a large amount of air, 

"I can smell it" 

Zayn answered. His face flushed red and eyes shining with excitement.

"Help me god" Niall rolled his eyes dramatically. 

They waited for some time but got no response. 

"It means he isn't home now, lets go" Niall mouthed, pulling Zayn.

"Wait!" Zayn started throwing some more pebbles, "He is here. I am sure." 

Suddenly the white curtain of the window budged, revealing Harry's sleepy face. He opened the window and peeked out his face yawning. He was wearing a white nightgown, his hair messy and his face drowsy. He was pouting, while trying to rubbing his eyes to chase the sleep away from his eyes. 

"H-a-r-r-e-h!" Zayn whisper yelled, waving hands when Harry looked at him, with pure shock. 

He rubbed his eyes once again before looking at him. 

"What are you doing here?" Harry said in a husky voice.

"I want to talk, so badly, please Harry," Zayn uttered desperately. 

"I don't want to! Get the hell out of here, punk!" Harry urged in the same voice before closing the curtain. 

Well, the window remained open.

Zayn looked at Niall with commiserating eyes. "We have disturbed his sleep."

"Yes, yes, you have now let's go," Niall mumbled, his teeth clenched. *And you have disturbed mine too* 

"Wait, as he is awake now, I can talk to him," Zayn voiced suddenly, before he started walking towards Harry's house, leaving Terri with*are you serious* look. Suddenly his eyes fell upon a willow tree. 

Just beside the open window of Harry's room.

Meanwhile, Harry was pacing back and forth in his room. Sleep completely gone from his eyes. His mind racing with thousand thoughts.

His worm and fluffy bed is not fascinating him anymore. 

Why is Zayn here in the middle of the night? 

What does he want? 

Is it anything serious

He should have let him talk and solve the matter. Now everything is becoming more complicated. He let out a frustrated groan.

Why is this happening? Why his mind a wants Zayn so badly? He is so tired of fighting with his mind all the time. 

Tears welled up in his eyes. His chest heavy. 

He wants to listen to his heart.

But he can't.

He blinked his tears dry. He can't let Zayn enter in his life. He has to prevent it. Otherwise he will suffer more, and Zayn too. He has to interact with Zayn and talk with him. He has to cut every string before bigger problems destroy them.

There is no way this will have a happy ending.   

He went near his window to see if Zayn was still there. He moved the curtain and screeched. A scream is trying to escape from his mouth.

Sitting on  the window there was none other than Zayn Malik.
