Different From The Rest

What A Great Date!!!

Both the boys were feeling extremely aware of themselves and of the situation. It wasn't awkward per say but still it was a daunting thought for Zayn, considering his bad experience in relationships and for Troye who didn't want to be added to that list of bad relationships. He didn't care if he didn't stand out but he wanted it to be in a good way.

As they both seated themselves in a corner booth, Troye shooting a small caring smile at Zayn to make him comfortable the only people that were left were an old couple and them. Anne was serving them this time and she was glad to see a ghost of smile playing on Zayn's smiles which ws lost a while ago as the life grew tougher and he was tested.

Zayn didn't know what to say or what to talk about. Seeing those cakes and coffee he felt intimidated. Firstly, because if he had to return the favour of being a part of the date,of which he felt the need to, he felt that he wouldn't be able to afford it. Next, even when his parents were alive, these luxuries weren't available for him and he felt extremely out of place with all that he saw. He had a relationship of workplace and employee here and to even think that he would be here as a customer was new and out of place to him.

As they both sat there sharing small meaningful glances they both eased a bit into their usual way and Zayn was honestly glad that he was spending time with Troye.

"Zee... i really like you and would like to be in a relation with you. if you are willing and ready to try it out that is , because i don't want to force you into anything in particular but i would really like it if you would just give it a try and maybe explore with me??? But Zayn, i'm not going to force you into anything whether it be relationship or anything else just remember that, because, i feel that you should accept me only if you feel that i'm worth your time and that you would actually like to spend time with me." hearing this words come out of Troye sort of like settled the nerves that Zayn had till then, which led to where they were now.

About half an hour later both the boys were in their own bubble talking and giggling softly. For the first time since many years Zayn had at last been able to let go of his unnerving and bothering thoughts for sometime.

It was getting a bit late alredy and was almost closing time when, they heard the bell ring.

As the two boys looked around, trying to catch ahold of those who had come in at this late hour, the mood between the two of them changed. All of a sudden, the ravenette had gone rigid. The brunette wasn't sure why the other boy reacted the way he did, but he was curious. It was as though Zayn all of a sudden realised and remembered something really bad.

As Troye tried to make out what it was, he caught sight of the smaller boy shivering and trembling from his peripheral view. Curious as to what was hurting him this bad, Troye took a closer look at the men and realised that they looked like the people who usually are involved in gangs and those for whom the police are usually on look out. He also recognised that two of them looked oddly familiar to Kyle and Nathan to him, the bullies he had saved Zayn from. The reason of why Zayn had reacted like this was partially understandable by the brunette now.

And Troye had expected this reaction from Zayn and was ready to tackle it. What Troye hadn't expected was for the other boy to run away. He hadn't expected that he would be frantically searching and looking through various places to try and find where the boy had gone. All he could think of was who those people were, how they knew Zayn and what they had done to make him react like this.

As he searched through the dark alleys, once again imagining worse scenarios, holding in his hand the treats they had bought for the date. He had actually thought that maybe he could offer Zayn these treats for his sisters. He was panicking and didn't know what to say. He was literally praying to every god in existence for the safety of Zayn.

Just as he was about to give up hope he heard a slight whimper, followed by a series of deep breaths and extreme heaving. As he approached the scene over there he saw the boy he was desperately trying to find crouched over, with his head in between his knees and hands clutching his sides so tightly that it may be bruised at a later point of time. Seeing the tell-tale signs of a panic-attack, something he was extremely familiar of Troye rushed towards the boy and helped him into a sitting position.

About ten minutes later Zayn had calmed down and both the boys had slowly walked to the park at the corner of Zayn's lane. As they both got seated on the grass, the taller boy supporting the smaller one and being there for him, Troye was growing extremely curious. And at last got the courage and expressed the question plaguing his mind.

"Who were those people, Zee...."
