"No. No no no no Zayn, please tell me we didn't do anything. Look at me and explain to me that we just happened to be sleepy and fell asleep in the same bed. Please tell me that's it. Zayn, FUCK! I can't, I don't, I don't know what to do." Niall's voice resounded around Zayn's head. He was crying, breaking down in tears. His blue eyes were teary and dulled out.

"Ni, you and I both know what happened last night. We didn't go all the way but we did like get each other off. Fuck how could this happen?" Zayn looked up at the ceiling of the unfamiliar bedroom.

Niall had woken up and when he saw Zayn, his heart started beating erratically. All the memories came hurling back his way as soon as he looked at him. He remembered. He remembered what they had done but he was so in love with Harry, he couldn't help but deny everything and try to make it seem like all they did was sleep.

Niall heard his phone ping once more and he went for it, it was on the nightstand now, due to Zayn moving it.

Before Niall unlocked the phone, he looked at Zayn and asked the words that Zayn knew were coming.

"Did he see us?" Niall sniffled.

Zayn bowed his head, his eyes closing as he breathed in and out slowly.

Niall took that as an agreement and started bawling. It was worse and it broke Zayn's heart to see him like this. Zayn couldn't help but lean over and hug Niall.

"It's not okay. But we can get through this. I'm gonna fix everything okay? I'm so sorry that this had to happen. I feel like complete shit. I just, I was drunk, we were both drunk! And shit Niall, I'm gonna fix this, I'll fix this." Zayns eyes wavered a bit. He was going to fix this. He was going to show up to their dorm and he was going to talk to Harry whether it involved a punch in the face or not.

Niall looked down at his phone, Harry's text on the screen. He closed his eyes, a tear slipping out.

"Can you imagine how he must feel? He's been pining over me since before we started College and then he finally gets ahold of me and I come and fuck it all up." Niall shakes his head. The thought of Harry leaving him left him empty.

"He can't be that mad. I'm gonna go over there and you're coming with me and he's going to at least let you sleep in there. That is also your dorm Ni. He might not forgive you right there and then but I know eventually, as time passes by, he'll accept the apology. It's never gonna happen again. I promise." Zayn shook his head. He stood up and found his clothes, quickly putting each article on. Niall just stood up and slowly put on his clothes, he stopped mid shirt before his eyes got watery again.

"Niall c'mon, we gotta go. Think about it this way, the faster we do this, the faster he'll forgive you. But we gotta go." Zayn sighed, walking up to Niall to help him with the shirt. As soon as he finished, he closed his eyes and gently kissed his forehead. He led him outside to his car and they drove back to campus.

Inside was a whole different story, Niall couldn't do it. He couldn't face Harry and tell him about how things went down because Harry knows exactly how things went down.

Zayn was standing outside of the dorm room when he knocked once and opened the door.

Harry was sat at the foot of his own bed, his eyes tinged with red. He looked up and quickly bowed his head down but not before looking towards Niall.

"Get out." His jaw clenched.

"No. This is his room too." Zayn spoke, furrowing his brows.

"Well, soon it's not gonna be so it really doesn't matter anyway. Hey, maybe I can find a way to get you two a room. That'll be much better huh?" Dry humor dispersed around the room. It was far too quiet for Niall's liking.
