“Zim,” Louis hisses, barely loud enough to reach his ears.
Zayn turns. Louis is halfway up the stairs, motioning again for him to follow.
Go, Zayn mouths, whipping his hand in a circle because he can’t watch Louis’s back if Louis is bloody facing him.
Zayn's had two months to adjust to the darkness that swallowed the world whole. The tie of soulmates isn't needed when he can read Louis as easily as the safeguarded books they carry, a bond that crystallizes every time he watches Louis' six.
They survive in silence and shadow, but even the best laid plan burns under the relentless glare of the enemy spotlight. Desperate to claw their way back to the light, how much is Zayn willing to risk when the collateral is a life he never meant to gamble.
Prequel to Love After the End of the World, coming in April as part of the 1D Big Bang Fest.
