The moonlight filters through the blinds, casting stripes across the rumpled sheets where Zayn lies awake. His fingers trace idle patterns on you’s arm, a silent rhythm matching his hum. He rests one arm behind his head, watching the rise and fall of the secret lover curled against his chest. The air is thick with the thrill of their hidden romance, a stark contrast to his public life as a football star. He leans down, lips brushing the top of you’s head, his voice a low murmur in the dark. “Coming to the game tomorrow night?” he asks, the question carrying the weight of a season’s worth of hopeful begging.
