Switched | Zayn Malik AU

After Party

"The teachers inside are such cockblocks, man. We literally can't do anything with them around." Louis complained.

"They aren't the only ones," Zayn replied. He probably thinks that his best friend's just as bad as they are.

"Yeah, so I was thinking, since we haven't had a party in so long, maybe we could... host a party?" Louis scratched the back of his head, waiting for Zayn to answer.

"You mean now, right?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah, now. I can call the guys to set up the place real quick, get us a few drinks..." Louis suggested.

Zayn looked over at me, as if asking for my opinion.

"Yeah, that would be cool," I said. I'm not a big fan of house parties, I just go to them just so someone could keep an eye on Georgie because her behavior gets out of hand when she's drunk. I don't even drink, I just dance. I'm not a party pooper. I just want to stay sober all the time and watch people fake being drunk.

"Fine." Zayn agreed.

"Yes!" Louis jumped and pumped his fist in the air. He moved closer to me and hugged me real tight. "You saved our lives, thank you!"

"Hey, hands off my girl," Zayn held me protectively as soon as Louis released me.

"Someone's jealous..." Louis said as he pushed me so he was between me and Zayn and then placed his hand on Zayn's cheeks to kiss him.

"Ew, come on, just call the guys already." Zayn said as he pushed Louis off from him and fixed his suit.

"You're the best," Louis tapped his back before running back into the venue.

"Now..where were we?" Zayn took my hand and caressed my cheek before closing in the space between us. Here I was, with my boyfriend, underneath these lights, with the muffled sound of the music inside, with his lips on mine.

After everything that happened, we fell into place; and everything felt right.

----------------------------------------------------

"You okay?" Zayn whispered into my ear with his fourth bottle of beer in his hand.

"Yeah," I answered. We sat on the couch, watched people drink and dance and play and flirt. Some actually stayed sober, some just knew how to act decent.

I was glad Zayn actually agreed to sit down. We've been dancing since we got here but I decided to stay sober so I could watch things unfold. Watching people who pretend that they're drunk are funny.

"You sure you don't wanna drink?" Zayn whispered into my ear, trying to make himself heard because of the loud music that was playing.

"Yes, I'm sure." I said. I probably should have stopped him from chugging down the contents of his bottle, but he didn't seem drunk at all. I've heard that he has high alcohol tolerance and that he hasn't had a drink in a long time, so I just let him drink as much as he wants.

Louis was nowhere to be found. He's probably up in the treehouse with Harry, doing what they always do. Georgie was dancing with Luke who crashed the party. Her official date decided to not come to the after party so Louis called Luke to rescue the damsel in distress.
