If you haven't noticed it yet, Zouis is my shit. I love their friendsip and there won't be a story of mine where they hate each other. I also don't think they do in real life. We should just think that. Management and all but this isn't important now. They will always be my favourite Bromance so deal with it <3

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

Music was Louis' favourite lesson ever. There was nothing he loved more. It was most of the time only musich theory but still. At the moment they were talking about iconic bands and singers, who changed something in the music business. Eleanor was going on and on about Michael Jackson. She loved him. 

"Anyone else?" asked Mr. Cordon curiously. 

Louis hesitated at first because he didn't needed Harry to make even more fun of him but then he just thought fuck it and put his hand up. 

"Yes Louis?" smiled Mr. Cordon at him. 

"Maybe Elton John" said Louis shyly, hearing Harry snicker in the back. 

"Great example, Louis. Do you know what exactly he did?" he wanted to know. 

"He did a lot. He is a great musician and some amazing Hits. But I think many people know him because he's a Gay Icon. He was closeted for a long time during his career and even married to a woman just to cover that up. Just because of him many people understood that this is sadly normal for the business. That's what he showed us apart from his music" summed Louis shortly up. 

"Excellent. Does anyone know another Gay Icon?" asked Mr. Cordon the class. 

"Freddie Mercury" said Niall enthusiactically. Louis knew Niall had a thing for him even though he claimed to be straight. 

"Pfft. Of course they know that. Nerdy Gays" snorted Harry quietly. 

"Says the one who is openly bi himself. Do you even use your brain?" remarked Louis while Niall rambled on about Freddie Mercury. 

"So you're not denying it? Is the ugly nerd really gay? How can one person be that much of a disappointment?" mocked Harry him, causing Zayn and Liam to give him unreadable looks. 

"Weren't you the one who fucked guys? Or does the mighty Harry Styles get fucked?" shot Louis back. He didn't needed Harry to remind him how less he was worth. 

"Watch your mouth or do you want another one?" held Harry his fist up. 

"You're too much of a pussy to ever touch me. That's why Nick and Aidan are doing it for you" Louis didn't give in. 

"You're dead, Tomlinson. Better kill yourself before I get to you" glared Harry at him. 

"What's going on here, boys?" Mr. Cordon wanted to know. 

"Nothing, Sir. Absolutely nothing" turned Louis back around and faked a smile. His wrists itched and he tried to suppress that feeling. 

"You sure, Louis?" checked Mr. Cordon worriedly. He knew Louis was lying. 

"Totally" tried Louis to sound believable. 

"Well, then let's go on. Maybe we can come back to the closeting in the industry another time. Now it's time for your next task before the lesson is over" announced Mr. Cordon. 

Louis' thoughts drifted away. Harry's words were stuck in his head and sunk into his heart. Louis knew he was a big disappointment and knew the world would be better off without him but he was too much of a pussy to actually end his life. He couldn't do it yet. 

He also thought about the gay part. He actually never thought about it. In his childhood he knew some gay couples and his family was always very supportive and accepting so he knew it wouldn't be a problem. But was he gay? How did Harry come up with that? Just because he knew about Elton John? Weird reason. Maybe Harry was just joking again. He was kinda gay himself so he should be quiet. 

But was Louis gay? As long as he can remember he wasn't, not that he would have a problem with that. But now that he really thought about for a second, Louis never liked anyone. He had never feelings for a girl in all those years. He never once looked at Eleanor like other boys do. She was really pretty but for Louis it did nothing. He always thought his mother's illness and everything that happened distracted him too much to develop feelings but maybe this was just part of it. He couldn't say what he found attractive because he didn't know. He came to the conclusion that he should find the answers to those Questions very soon. 

"I hope the two weeks are enough for creating a whole new song If not we change the date. But now I'll tell you your partners" clapped Mr. Cordon into his hands. 

Louis looked at Niall with wide eyes. Did he just say he pairs them up? Oh this could only go completely wrong. With his luck he would get Harry. Well, Mr. Cordon knew how Harry treated him and he seemed to like Louis so maybe there was a chance for Louis to survive those two weeks. 

"Niall Horan and Liam Payne" heard Louis his teacher's voice. 

Niall looked kinda unsure of how to react. Liam never said anything bad or seemed mean but he was Harry's friend so he had to be like him, right? This made no sense in Louis' head. 

"Eleanor Calder and Harry Styles". 

"What?" exclaimed both of them at the same time. 

This was horrible. No one really wanted to work with Harry because he never did anything. That's why he always worked with Liam. He was the only to endure him longer than needed. Louis felt sorry for Eleanor and at the same time relieved it wasn't him. That was a bad thought. 

Now Louis wasn't that anxious any more. Well, he didn't pay attention to the other pairs before so he didn't know who was left but it couldn't be worse than Harry. That was at least something. 

"Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik" proclaimed his teacher. 

For a second Louis stopped breathing. This couldn't be true. Of course one of the idiot's friends. And on top of all it was Zayn. Louis couldn't figure him out. He had that Bad Boy Image and looked pretty intimidating but he had no idea how he really was. What if he was worse than Harry?

"Ouch Zayn. That is tough. My condolences. Well, at least you will get a perfect grade with that nerd" Harry couldn't held himself back. 

"Shut up, Harry" growled Zayn at him. This was literally one of the only times he had heard him talk ever. 

"Hey, it's not my fault you have to work with this walking failure. It's even worse than Liam's partner. At least I got the hot nerdy girl. Maybe I can have some fun" winked Harry at his friends. 

Louis felt his blood boil at those words. If Harry only as much as breathed wrongly next to Eleanor he would personally kill him.

A few seconds later the bell rang and they were finally free to leave for the Lunch Break. Louis gathered his things together and almost sprinted out of the room. But Zayn came after him. 

"Louis wait" called Zayn after him. 

A little bit scared Louis stopped in his track. He had no idea how Zayn would treat him. Hesitantly he looked up at him and was met with a very neutral look. 

"Looks like we're stuck with each other" tried Zayn to joke but Louis didn't laugh. 

"Well" cleared Zayn his throat. "Do you have a course or are you free after Lunch?". 

"No" croaked Louis out, earning a frown from Zayn. "I - I mean, I um... I  - I have Drama next". 

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to hurt you" deepened Zayn's frown.

"Yo - You're H- Harry's friend". Louis really wanted to slap himself. He had no idea why he couldn't form a proper sentence. 

"Not really. It's complicated" sighed Zayn and Louis just looked confusedly at him. 

"Look, just pretend he doesn't exist when we're together, okay? You said you have Drama next. Could I wait in the room or is that forbidden?". 

"I'm not sure. I could ask my Drama teacher though" was Louis a little bit less nervous now. 

"Naww, you're in the Drama Course? How did I not know that? Look at you, of course you're a wannabe actor with that gay sense of style. Does our little nerdy boy wants to be an actor? You're probaly a poor excuse of an actor" appeared Harry next to Zayn. Louis was at a loss for words. 

"Isn't your next Fuckbuddy waiting for you somewhere?" looked Zayn annoyed at Harry. 

"Hey, her name is Tilda" faced Harry him. 

"It's Taylor, Harry. C'mon" corrected Liam and dragged Harry along with him. 

"Sorry about that" scratched Zayn his neck. 

"All good. Well, I need to go" wanted Louis nothing more than to leave. 

"Aren't you going wrong? The cafeteria is this way?" pointed Zayn in the other direction. 

"We always meet up in the room and eat there all together. Eleanor is probably already waiting for me" explained Louis. 

"Can I join?" asked Zayn. 

"What about your friends?" wondered Louis. 

"They're good without me. Let's go" shrugged Zayn. 

Louis wasn't so sure about all this but he just let Zayn follow him to the Drama Room. The other students were already in there and eating there food. Niall was there too because he always joined them. As he Eleanor spotted Zayn they looked proper confused and their faces showed what Louis was feeling inside. 

"He wants to join" was all Louis said as he sat down with Zayn next to him. Eleanor and Niall just accepted it. 

"What play do you think we will do next? Something own maybe?" asked Eleanor excitedly. She loved acting. 

"Only if Tommo helped with the script" pointed one of the other girls out. Her name was Perrie. 

"I agree. Would you be in, Tommo?" Jade wanted to know. She was friends with Perrie. 

"Um I mean why not. But you all expect too much. I'm shit" answered Louis nervously. 

"Bullshit. You're amazing" Jade disagreed. 

"The only thing you're better at is acting itself. You should do it again this time". 

"She's right" agreed Eleanor with Perrie. 

"I'm not doing it any more. I'm better behind the scenes" Louis had to disappoint them. 

"Noooo" all three girls whined. 

"Girls, let him breath. If he doesn't want to accept it" silenced Niall them. 

"Fine" grumbled Perrie. 

Louis mouthed a 'thanks' over to Niall, not without Zayn seeing it. Niall was the only one who knew why Louis stopped acting out of the sudden. He gave it up and would never change his mind. He just wasn't good enough anyway. 

Here in these walls Louis was a bit more himself than everywhere else. This was one of his safe places. No Nick. No Aidan. No Harry. Surrounded by his Drama people and everything he loved Louis felt safe and secure. It was drama free. Pure Irony. 

The whole Lunch Break over the five of them talked and Zayn sat silently next to them. He didn't say a word. Louis felt bad for him and didn't really knew why. At some point Niall left because the lesson was about to start. When the teachert came in Louis asked if Zayn could watch today and he had no problem with it. Huh weird. 

The teacher started with some basic things and just talked for a while. It was the first day and nothing big was planned. He told them there would be a big play again and some auditions and he would need a lot of people backstage. Louis already knew he would be one of them because there he couldn't mess up. 

During the lesson Louis glanced at Zayn over and over again. He seemed pretty interested in everything and didn't look that scary any more. More the opposite. He looked hella handsome like this. That thought brought Louis back to his question from earlier. Was he realy gay and never realised that?

He took a closer look at Zayn. He was really pretty. His eyes were stunningly gorgeous and his eyelashes were freaking long. His whole face looked like it was pure art. His hair was absolutely perfect. He had a toned body and very strong arms with some small tattoos. Who had tattoos with seventeen? 

That's beside the point Louis. 

He looked Zayn up and down without being obvious and had to admit Zayn looked like a God. Like he was made by angels in heaven. Secretly he looked at every girl in his class. Even if he had to say they were pretty, his eyes still stopped on Zayn and his perfection. Now he couldn't stop staring and had to really tore his gaze away from him. Louis felt like a creep. 

Good, maybe he admired Zayn's beauty. Maybe this meant he was gay all along and didn't notice that. But was admiring his beauty enough to say that? Could Louis imagine kissing a boy, touching a boy? Could he be turned on by a boy? Maybe he shouldn't think about those things in class. 

"Well, where to? I would offer my house but my whole family is home and like this we wouldn't have one minute of silence" asked Zayn with a chuckle. 

"Um I don't know" mumbled Louis insecurely. 

"Before we start this work I want to clear one thing up: I'm not like Harry, okay? I don't tolerate his behaviour torwards people and how he just uses them. Especially not how he treats you. I would never be like him" stated Zayn, obviously sensing Louis' former discomfort. 

For some reason Louis trusted Zayn and believed him every word. His eyes seemed totally honest while speaking and he sounded so genuine. So he decided to just risk it and give him a chance. 

"Let's go to mine" offered Louis bravely.
