@zaiiiins
hey, man! how are you? i'm a huge fan, it'd be bad ass if we could hang out soon. it's going to be a fun time, i can already tell. we're both fun as hell from what i've seen. @zaiiiins
thatβs mad cool to hear, and yeah, hanging out sounds like a blast. iβve seen your work tooβyouβve got some serious talent. is there anything you've been wanting to do? as long as its not exploring islands, i'm with you.
You still got that whole mysterious vibe around you so I'm still trying to figure out what it is that you like to do around here. Was thinking maybe the casino, put in a little gamble or try those slot machines. See if we could win a bit of money. Or maybe you're more the type that likes the water slides and feel like a kid again doing that. Am I hot or cold with these suggestions? @zaiiiins
youβve definitely got me curious now. iβm down for a bit of a gamble if that's your thing, but the idea of hitting the water slides and just acting like kids again has a certain pull too. something about just letting loose, right? maybe we try a bit of bothβsee where the day takes us. you seem like youβve got a mix of adventure and mystery, so i reckon either wayβs gonna be a good time. what do you say, should we start with the casino or dive into some waterpark chaos?
louis tried to ignore all the little digs, not wanting to outright speak his full mind in the middle of a ship they were currently restricted on. the last thing anybody needed was a bust up and raw awkwardness every time they were in a room together, however he couldn't completely shrug off the comments at ease. zayn could speculate the reasoning as much as he wanted, but louis didn't appreciate the fact that he was almost talking on his behalf. there may have been a sense of truth too it, but the male couldn't bite his tongue and sit there as if everything was perfectly fine between them. zayn leaving the band in the way he did rattled louis, always had, knowing things could have been totally different should the male have spoken to them about his real feelings. the breakaway from the band felt very personal, and for years later bothered louis probably more than it bothered the other guys. "if that's what you think then fair, but don't speak on my behalf." louis understood he may have sounded bitter, sounding like he was holding a grudge, but the stubbornness in his personality couldn't drop it. "but sounds like you might have finally gotten it, that your communication was fucking dreadful." they'd never really spoken about zayn's reasoning or decision to leave one direction, and really louis' anger always stemmed from there, along with his communication comment.
zaynβs expression hardened at louisβs words, his patience wearing thin. βright, of course, itβs my fault, as usual,β he bit back, the bitterness in his voice unmistakable. he sat up in his lounger, the relaxed posture gone, his sunglasses pushed up onto his head now as he fixed louis with a sharp stare. βmy communication was dreadful? you didnβt exactly make it easy to talk, did you? always ready to jump down my throat like you are now.β he shook his head, scoffing under his breath. βyou think youβre the only one who had it rough? youβve been carrying this grudge for years like iβm the villain for wanting out, but did it ever cross your mind that i had my own shit going on? that maybe i didnβt owe you or anyone else an explanation for wanting to leave?β zaynβs voice grew harsher, years of pent-up frustration spilling out. βi didnβt abandon you, louis. i left a situation that was suffocating me, and if you canβt handle that, thatβs on you, not me. i donβt regret leaving the band, and iβm not going to sit here and apologize just to make you feel better about it.β he leaned back again, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. βyou think everything couldβve been different if iβd just talked? maybe. but honestly, i donβt think it wouldβve mattered. you were too busy being pissed off to hear anything i had to say anyway.β
you better not or i swear i'll pout. i have no idea when and where but we have so many options. no distractions? i don't buy that shit for a second with you, man. you need a distraction? why do you care if he's flirting with her? i need more information but lets go, i'm sure we can find someone to keep you busy rather not eat grass.
alright, no pouting. iβll make sure weβre solid for the weekend. and yeah, weβve got endless options to keep us busy, no distractions needed. you're calling me out? look, everyone needs a distraction sometimes, donβt they? not sure where thatβs coming from, though. i don't know, mate, i like her, you know? it's not nice seeing random guys flirting with her, but it's more of a "whatever" situation.
shifting through her suitcase she smiled to herself as she picked out the perfect garment. sneaking her way off into the bathroom she shut the door behind her realizing how silly it was that she didn't disrobe in front of him although she wanted it to be a surprise. clad in her white bikini, which bared little to the imagination taylor made her way out of the bathroom modeling for him. putting her hands up in the air showing off every inch of her body, she exclaimed. "ta da! well, what do you think?" spinning around she gave him the entire 360 view. "had to give you a little booty action there."
zayn's eyes darkened as he took in the sight of her, the corner of his mouth tugging into a smirk. "you definitely know how to make an entrance," he said, his voice thick with appreciation as he watched her spin, giving him the full view. he pushed off the doorframe, stepping closer with slow, deliberate strides, his eyes never leaving her. "youβre making it hard to focus on anything else," he murmured, hands sliding to her hips as he gently pulled her toward him. βthat little booty actionβs gonna cost you, though,β he teased, his voice low, before leaning in to press his lips against her neck.
"no." she said with a smile as she looked out the window, her mind running rampant with thoughts that were less than clean. "do you think i was getting laid everyday on tour? because i wasn't. so, excuse me for being horny." turning to face zayn, her hand cupped his chin pulling his lips towards hers. "i'm going to get my bikini on." taylor spoke against his lips teasing him with a slight peck before making her way towards her suitcase and fumbling through it.
zaynβs grin widened as he felt her lips brush against his, the heat of her words lingering. he raised an eyebrow, watching her fumble through the suitcase. βtrust me, iβm not complaining,β he replied, voice low, eyes following her every move. leaning against the doorframe, he crossed his arms, his gaze playful but intense. βbut donβt think the bikiniβs gonna stay on for long, babe.β he smirked, waiting for her to turn back toward him.
i thought you might be down for an adventure! it really does make all the difference, moral support and all that. you are the best! um...maybe a pint or two? you know...that was not the least bit convincing but i'll let it slide. just this once, though!
i had a feeling you'd catch on. alright, iβll take the "best" title, but yeah, i reckon moral support deserves a pint or two after. i mean, if weβre going to conquer a zipline, weβve earned it, right? and hey, iβll work on being more convincing next time. glad youβre letting this one slideβdonβt make a habit of it!
"so... where are we fucking first?" taylor spoke up as she inspected the room, taking note of everywhere they could do the deed. "oh... oh my god... because..." stopping in her tracks taylor peeled back the curtain to reveal the secluded infinity pool they had all to themselves. "i think i found my answer." @zaiiiins
zayn chuckled, running a hand through his hair as he watched taylorβs excitement. "you donβt waste any time, do you?" he teased, walking over to join her by the window. he glanced at the pool, the soft glow of the water shimmering in the evening light. βnot a bad choice,β he smirked, his gaze meeting hers. "guess weβre starting outside, then."
"how much do you wanna bet that i can win you at this game of ice hockey?" madelyn challenged him, both brows raised and her hands resting on her hips like she meant business. "come on, malik, i promise i won't take all of your money." / @zaiiiins
zayn grinned, unfazed by the challenge. βmadelyn, youβre on! but just so you know, iβve got a pretty good track record with these games. i might just surprise you and show you a few tricks up my sleeve. iβll let you keep a little bit of my money as a souvenir.β he shrugged, looking at her, also resting his hands on his hips, mimicking her.
of course zayn had to comment back and couldn't just apologise and move on to keep louis happy, that would have just been too easy for them both. "time and a place though." the older male mumbled, knowing zayn wasn't exactly wrong about him not having been the quietest person in the past. however he thought he was different by having respected a persons downtime and or privacy. adjusting his head back down to the sun lounger, louis tried not to roll his eyes at the comment made, thankfully his glasses preventing his hues from actually being visible to the public eye currently. "not causing a scene, just mentioned the whole ship don't need to hear conversations." maybe he should have bit his tongue and that zayn hadn't been speaking so loudly, and maybe it was simply his voice alone which caused louis to become unsettled in his moment on the sun lounger, however surly years of undealt with feelings must have lead up to their very reunion.
zayn's lips twitched into a wry smile as he heard louis's response, a mixture of amusement and irritation flickering in his eyes. βright, because everyone else is so much more considerate,β he replied, his voice laced with sarcasm. he shifted slightly in his chair, adjusting his posture as if to emphasize his point. βmaybe if you werenβt so quick to jump on everything, youβd find it easier to just relax.β zayn's tone was sharp, but there was an underlying current of weariness, as if he was just as tired of the back-and-forth as louis was. he let out a sigh, the kind that came from years of shared history and unspoken grievances. βwe both know this isnβt just about me talking too loudly,β he said more quietly, glancing over at louis with a mix of frustration and resignation. βitβs about all the things we never really talked about. but fine, if you want to pretend itβs just about volume, go ahead.β zayn turned his attention back to his own company, the subtle strain in his shoulders betraying the effort to keep his cool.
nick was overly excited about this cruise, although, his daughter was on his mind the minute he stepped foot on the ship and the urge to go overboard had reached the corners of his mind. reassuring himself everything would be okay, she was with her mom, and nick needed a vacation. "there you are." he was wandering the ship, a ghost like walk as he approached his first victim of the night. "zayn, i want to say a couple things before i request something from you." there was a friendship between them, a very manly flirtation floating around, and nick loved every second of it. "i feel like i haven't seen you in three years. i missed you my handsome man who could out single angels.β his first mission was to butter him up, the second was to pop the question. βwanna do a jack and rose?β nick was serious, looking straight ahead to the edge of the ship before turning with a million dollar smile. βiβll be jack the first round.β @zaiiiins
zayn chuckled, shaking his head at nickβs dramatic entrance. the cruise had barely begun, but nick was already in full swing. he leaned casually against the railing, the ocean breeze ruffling his hair. βyou always did know how to flatter a lad,β zayn teased, but there was a warmth in his tone that hinted at the comfort they shared. it wasnβt every day you got asked to reenact one of the most iconic scenes in film history by nick jonas, of all people. "jack and rose, huh?" zayn raised an eyebrow, his smile crooked as he glanced at the open sea. βi missed you too, mate. and sure, iβll let you have the first round, but donβt get too attached to the role. rose has the better lines." he nudged nick playfully, their easy banter slipping right back into place like they hadnβt spent time apart at all. βso, what are we doing this for? tiktok or just for the thrill?β he laughed, knowing that with nick, it could honestly be either.
Got to admit that it wasn't on my bingo card that I'd see you next on a cruise ship. Guess it's a small world after all. Not that I'm complaining as it's good to see ya again, mate. How have you been? Was thinking of exploring the ship a little since it's just huge and I only knew a few things it has to offer but I bet we can find some hidden gems on here. And it's a great way for us to catch up. You in? @zaiiiins
mate, i didnβt have "cruise ship reunion" on my bingo card either. but yeah, it's good to see you too, niall. been a while. i've been good, just keeping busy with music, khai and everything else, you know how it is. how have you been? exploring the ship sounds like a laugh, though. iβm sure thereβs a few spots we can check out that no oneβs found yet. letβs definitely catch up and see what kind of hidden gems this place has. iβm in.
mr zayn, i don't really remember the last time that i saw you properly? again was it at one of those shitty award shows we used to attend too? lord know i don't really go to those things anymore, now for a catch up date? i think one is needed don't y'all agree? what shall we do? zip-line? walk around one of the islands that we get to visit? || @zaiiiins
yeah, it's been way too long, hasn't it? i think you're right, last time might've been one of those award shows where we barely get to say more than a quick "hello." iβm with youβdonβt miss those events much either. a catch-up is definitely overdue! zip-lining sounds wild, iβm down for that. i'm not about exploring islands because i'm afraid i will get lost and then cry like a baby.
zayn, light of my life, the one who owns my heart. are we getting smashed sometime this week? the only acceptable answer is yes because you are not ditching me for your flavor of the week or whatever bullshit. @zaiiiins
oh, you know iβd never ditch you, baby boy. iβm all yours this weekβtell me when and where, and weβll get properly smashed. donβt worry, no distractions, no "flavor of the week" nonsense. i really need a distraction because i'm pretty sure i heard travis kelce flirting with taylor and i'd rather eat grass instead of listening to his voice again.
i realize that we barely know each other but i'm afraid i'm going to be enlisting you to help me out. only because if i do not find someone to go on the zipline with me...i might not do it. so i'm afraid i'm leaving my fate in your hands. @zaiiiins
iβve got to admit, i didnβt expect to be recruited for a zipline adventure, but iβm definitely in. i get it, thoughβitβs one of those things where having someone with you makes all the difference. so, consider it sorted. can we do it drunk, though? i'm not scared... it's just... to make everything exciting.
"you know, you don't need to always be heard," louis tried not to sound too blunt or confrontation, however when it came to the individual, it was something that just happened naturally. louis had come right from germany after his last festival appearance of the year so just chilling on the sun lounger for the first day was a must for him. this was the start of his time off, and the last thing he wanted to do starting it off, was listening to his former band member go on about whatever he was going on about with the person he was in conversation with. "some of us actually wanna lay here and just lap up the rays, no distractions." although louis hadn't acknowledged zayn by his name, it was obvious for those around him to know he was talking to the male, even briefly tilting his head to look over his mirrored sunglasses. '@zaiiiins'
zayn exhaled a sharp breath, feeling the tension settle in the space between them. βright, because you've always been the quiet one, havenβt you?β zayn muttered, his tone carrying that familiar edge that had become second nature when dealing with louis. he leaned back in his chair, sunglasses shielding his eyes, but the shift in his posture made it clear he wasnβt about to let it slide. he'd just been making small talk with someone nearby, not even addressing louis directly, but the jab stung all the same. "if you're so desperate for peace, maybe try finding it without making a scene." his words were low but pointed, the kind of response that hinted at all the unresolved history between themβthings unsaid for years that lingered beneath the surface.
