1 week later:

"Good morning." Harry jumps in surprise when he feels a pair of strong arms wrapping around his body from behind. His grip on the spatula tightens in shock. He relaxes a bit when he registers, it's none other than his husband.

"Zayn!" He says in a scolding voice that only earns him a chuckle from his husband. "I was cooking!" Putting off the stove, Harry turns around in Zayn's arms to find the lad chuckling softly at him. His hair is still wet, meaning he has just taken his shower.

"Sorry, not sorry." Zayn chuckles before kissing the tip of his nose. "But your reaction was worth it."

"You dork!" Harry tries to glare at him but ends up giggling when the older lad sticks his toungue out at him playfully.

It's been 6 days since they came back from Cheshire and exactly 4 days since they both has started going to work again. Nick, being the good friend he is, instantly took Harry to work once the green eyed lad asked if he could join the office again. Zayn too, has joined the school again.

Talking about Nick, he has also resolved all his issues with Louis and now are on the friendship terms. Zayn later came to know ( in the get together that they had the night after returning home), that the main reason Louis was mad at him wasn't only because Nick left for the college but also because Nick had cheated on him in the first month of leaving him. And if Zayn had punched him twice in face and Louis giggled at that, well, that was only because Nick deserved it.

To say everything has started to fall in pieces, wouldn't be a lie.

"Go and wake Al up." Harry says before pecking the older lad softly on the lips, making him smile. "I'll make the breakfast."

Zayn nods with a smile and pecks him quickly on the forehead before walking out of the kitchen. Leaving the younger lad smiling and giddy.

***

"Hey Z?" Later that night when they both are lying in the darkness of their room, in each other's bare arms, Harry asks him quietly.

Zayn hums in response as he comb his fingers through his curls.

"I forgot to ask but how did the accident happen?"

Zayn stops what he was doing and sighs. He chuckles when Harry makes a displeased noise at the lose of contact and places a kiss on the curls.

"Are you talking about the first accident or the second?" He asks before starts massaging the younger lad's scalp again.

"Um, both?" Harry asks, unsure.

"Alright." Zayn takes a deep breath. "The first time...well, I went to that bitch's place." Zayn spits the last part before resuming again.

"Calm down, Z." Harry rubs his upper arm which calms him down a little.

"So as I was saying, I went to her place because I still had some of her things left at mine. She was making coffee or tea whatever in the kitchen when I saw a text on her phone on the couch. Being the curious shit I am, I read the conversation between her and Richard, you remember? My-"

"-your worst enemy ever." Harry finishes for him. Zayn nods.

Richard used to have always been jealous of Zayn since Zayn topped the classes while he always came second. To get his revenge, he tried to bully Harry which only resulted him a fractured arm from Zayn and life long hatred from the tanned lad.

"Turns out, they are friends. She there was this text that said, 'If I couldn't be happy in my relationship, I'll make sure he won't either.' I guess, that made everything clear. She was manipulating me because she was jealous of us."

"But wasn't she in a relationship after you guys broke up?" Harry asks curiously. "I thought she was happy?"

"No she wasn't. I confronted her about the texts and she admitted to have cheated on him twice. That's why he kicked her out of his house."

"Gosh, she was such an insecure bitch!" Harry exclaims.

"I know right?" Zayn laughs sarcastically.

"I was so furious when I left her place." Zayn pulls his husband closer so that the younger lad's face is now buried in her chest. "I couldn't believe I did that to you, Haz. I couldn't believe I let her make me nearly abandon my child. I was-I was so ashamed of myself."

"Zay-"

"No Haz, please don't stop me." Zayn pleads. Harry doesn't say anything, just place a kiss on his bare chest softly.

"What happened then?" Harry whispered softly.

"I-I was coming at your place. I was so furious that I didn't realize, I was driving beyond the speed limit. I lost the control over the car and crashed it into a tree." Zayn sighs before leaning down and kissing Harry's curls softly.

Both doesn't say anything for a moment. Letting the silece hung between them, they both lay quietly in each other's arms.

"What about the second accident?" Harry asks softly after a moment of silence.

"I was driving to the school but I swear Haz, I wasn't driving recklessly. I promised you I would take care of myself. I don't know how it happened but a car crashed into mine and pushed the car off the road. I don't remember anything after that."  Zayn explains.

Harry places another soft kiss to his chest and smiles.

"Zayn?" Harry asks after a moment of silence.

Zayn hums as keeps on combing his hair.

"I know it's cruel but I am-I am kinda happy that the accidents happened." Harry admits shyly.

Zayn smiles because yeah, even though it's crazy to think like this, they are happy that the accidents happened. While the first accident brought them closer than ever, the second one gave the chance for them to realize how much they mean to each other.

"Me too."
