Idk I just see Zayn being with someone that he’s known his whole life. Like the daughter of his parents friends so he knows her. And they finally get together when they’re like 17 and she doesn’t go on tour with him at the start cause she doesn’t want to leave her life and family but after like 3 months the boarding pass always arrives and the handwritten note cause notes were Zayn’s thing with her. If he was going out when she was asleep he’d always write a note and they would always be singed Zain cause that’s how she always spelled his name and that’s who he’ll always be to her. But the note always arrives with some sort of paragraph along the lines of: I miss you so much. This is a ticket to come out here, I can’t wait to see you. I kept my promise babe, I wasn’t gone long. Love you, Zain x
And she has the notes in a box in her closet cause she holds them so close. They all mean something to her and every time he leaves he always promises that he won’t be gone long cause it hurts her being without him, not having him there and she always asks “who’s going to love me when you’re gone?” And Zayn always laughs at this stupid question because “just because I’m not here doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” And she always cries, always. And he doesn’t want that.
But the first time he went on tour there was the rumours about him cheating and she knew they weren’t true because what they have is special, it’s real and besides, the supposed nights that the girls were with him she was right by his side.
But this time when Zayn books the ticket in his hotel room he has the ring in his suitcase. He had wanted to do it for 2 years and everyone always said “you’ve only been together a few months” or “you’re both still teenagers” or “you’re both so young” and he would stupidly listen to them. But this time they’re 22 and they had stayed up until after 2am talking about trying for a baby only a month before and he knows that he wants to be with her for the rest of his life. He wants to start trying when she arrives, he wants a family with her.
But tbh I think Zayn wouldn’t want to marry anyone else, he wouldn’t want to wake up beside anyone else for the rest of his life. It would all be about her and he wouldn’t want to have children unless it was with her. So he books the ticket and looks at the ring and smiles to himself because he’s going to start a family soon, he’s going to be even happier than he is right now and that’s all that matters to him. Being happy and making her happy.
