Ignorance makes you angry!

The sound of Louis and Captain Ashton talking was still coming from the hallway, and I was staring at Zayn carefully, who was staring at the entrance of the living room without a word. I couldn't guess what he was thinking, from his expressionless face, and I was counting the seconds for Captain Ashton to come in and take the control of the situation because I didn't want to face that raging Zayn again!

Finally, after a few torturous minutes, the captain entered the living room with a small smile, and Louis came in after him but immediately froze when he saw us...

"Come on in...Mikey you lazy asshole! Why didn't you open the door when you heard the sound of my car? I almost died from the stress in that few minutes!"

Louis had the right to be surprised to see Zayn and Daniel in Captain Ashton's house, but the only thing that mattered to me at that moment was the sense of security and peace I felt when I saw my captain.

"Louis, no! Not now...Louis..."

The captain had taken Louis's arm and was trying to hold him back from coming towards Zayn, but Louis didn't give up and forcibly pulled his arm out of the captain's hand and came towards us. I looked at the captain with stress, who took a deep breath and hurried after Louis, but when he saw Louis was serious, he stood where he was and put his hand on his hips!

"Louis...OK! I'm done, do whatever you want!"

"Move!"

When Zayn growled in my ear, I just realized that I was still standing in his way. I was worried about Louis and I wanted to say something to calm him down for a while, but he didn't let me even start and easily pushed me away from his path!

Louis was walking toward Zayn slowly, but Zayn's steps were quick and angry. Was this how Liam felt about Zayn approaching Louis? Constant fear and anxiety? I knew I couldn't stop Zayn or Louis from fighting but I still couldn't stand there, and let Zayn hurt Louis again!

"Zayn, please! You can go wherever you want when you're completely recovered...Don't vent your anger on Louis, he just wanted..." My sentence was left unfinished when I saw Zayn's reaction and my neck inadvertently tilted in surprise!

We were all expecting an intense fight, but Zayn...was he hugging Louis?

He was holding Louis tightly in his arms and clinging to him as if his life was dependent on hugging Louis!

"Zayn? Are you ok? Oh, thank god... I thought you were dying! What was wrong with you? Zayn...Are you alright? Please say something...Zayn!"

Louis was worried and was questioning Zayn without taking a breather but Zayn wasn't giving him an answer. It was as if he was waiting for Louis to calm down, and he finally spoke, after Louis' heartbeat slowed down a bit...

"I thought they caught you...Are you ok?"

It was as if Louis was as surprised as we were by Zayn's words because he pulled himself back a little in Zayn's arms and stared at him with big eyes!

"What? Me? You were the one who was vomiting blood! I really wanted to come with you but I couldn't...How are you feeling now? Are you sure you're ok?"

Yup! He was so worried about Zayn that he didn't even realize that Zayn was suspicious that someone was going to take him hostage!

"I'm fine... as long as you're fine!"

With Zayn's last sentence, the captain and I looked at each other with wide eyes, and even without looking at Calum and Daniel, I could say that they had a similar reaction...What the…

Our surprise level couldn't be higher than that! Louis's behavior was almost the same but Zayn ... he had suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees!

One of his hands was around Louis's waistline and the other one was around Louis's shoulder, and he was hugging him as tightly as he could! Louis, who hated being touched by others, had allowed Zayn to hug him very easily and he had even wrapped his hand around Zayn's waist and put his head on Zayn's shoulder!

We thought those two couldn't surprise us more than we were, but we couldn't be more wrong!

"Zayn: I missed you..."

"Louis: I missed you too!"

"Zayn: Still nothing?"

"Louis: Nothing..."

"Zayn: It's ok... I'm sure it'll end soon!"

Our eyes darted between Zayn and Louis, who were whispering slowly to each other, and we got more and more confused by the minute... Their words and actions were different even from yesterday, and my mind couldn't find any logical explanation for their behavior...My logic needed an answer...So very much!

When Louis sighed, Zayn slowly parted from him and kissed his forehead, and Louis smiled SO brightly, that for the first time I noticed he had dimples on his cheeks!

"What the fuck?"

With a voice that inadvertently came out of the depths of my being, they turned to us and finally noticed us staring at them with our jaws drooping!

"What are you staring at?"

Zayn asked in a demanding tone, and I wanted to apologize when Captain Ashton went towards Zayn and Louis with an evil smile and wrapped his hands around their necks with a wide smile!

"You two...Are you...OH MY GOD! You look so cute together! I knew something was going on between the two of you! "

I laughed softly and smiled at his cute and childish move...Captain Ashton was always this lovable!

When Zayn saw my smile and captain's excited face, he moved away from Louis and pushed the captain's face back with a glare. Then he dipped his hands in his pocket and stared at Louis, who was looking at him with a smile!

"Stop it! When you smile like this, they think we are together!"

Zayn complained while staring at Louis who was still smiling! Louis was a symbol of not giving a shit about anything!

"The way you hugged him, I'm thinking about the same thing too!"

With Daniel's sarcastic statement, all heads turned to him, who was still sitting on the couch, and I nodded to confirm. He's got a point! When Zayn saw his cousin's reaction and our smiles, suddenly his eyes widened!

"You really think I and Louis are together? It's not like that!" He tried to defend himself but his defense was kind of weak and Captain Ashton needed an answer!

"Then what's your relationship with each other if it's not that? You answer me, Louis!"

The captain tried to find out the truth by taking Louis by surprise and embarrassing him, but Louis just shrugged his shoulders without any particular reaction!

"I don't know!"

Louis looked serious, but Captain Ashton didn't like to give up so easily, so he tried his luck again!

"What do you mean you don't know? It has to be something! Don't try to fool me, Louis. It's very hard to believe it!"

"Then what should I do when I don't know what our relationship is?"

Everyone was silent ...The way he said he didn't know what his relationship was with Zayn, confused and honest... the situation was different!

"If you explain it to me once, at least I know what to say in such a situation! How much longer do I have to wait?"

Louis asked Zayn, tired and irritated, and Zayn took a deep breath and went towards Daniel and sat down next to him on the couch...

"We'll talk about it soon Louis...but for now, we have more important things to discuss. You, who brought Louis with you and have a silly smile…You're in charge, right? Let's talk!"

************************

When Zayn offered to talk, Luke and Calum stepped away from the couch and looked at me ...they were worried and they had the right, it was impossible to predict Zayn's reaction to the information we were going to give him!

"Come on...I'm not going to hurt you!"

When Zayn confirmed that he had no bad intentions, I took a deep breath and shook my head in disappointment. Why did boss Ashford think that this idiot could be a good and efficient colleague for me? He was useless!

"Did you hear it, Mikey? Please get out of my closet, you messed it up enough with your dirty shoes!"

"Okay! I'm coming!"

When Mikey shouted happily, I rubbed my neck with embarrassment and sat down on the nearest couch to the couch where Zayn and Daniel were sitting on, then I saw Louis coming towards me with a suspicious smile!

"Scoot over... I'm..."

Before Louis could finish his words, Zayn interrupted his sentence with a smile! "Come here!"

He pointed to space next to him and Louis went to him with a big smile and sat down next to him! They didn't care about Daniel's glare and my suspicious stare ... How did they expect me to believe they weren't in a relationship?

"Well...we'll start from simple questions! Who is your boss and who are you? What is the reason for these chaotic actions? And how did you find us? You can start with the first question! Who's your boss? Caesar?"

When he mentioned Caesar, I frowned and clenched my fists. How could he think we were working for that bastard? What did he think of Caesar? Did he think that if Caesar's people had taken them before us, their situation would be this good?

"No, of course not. Caesar is our communal enemy! I'm Ashton Simmons, and my boss is Harry..."

"Ashford? I knew he would be the next leader after that old fart!"

Hearing Zayn's relaxed tone, I stared at him in shock and astonishment, who was staring at me without any facial expression! Our previous leader was indeed a bit old and a little bit mean, but he was the one, who had made the laws of peace and all of us owed our comfortable life to him! I shouldn't have let him be disrespected!

"I don't intend to be disrespectful, but I can't allow you to talk about him like this. We owe the comfort and peace of our lives to him!"

When I seriously defended our previous boss and leader, Zayn smirked and leaned back on the couch. He was weirdly looking at me as if he knew something that I didn't know!

"Not everyone...not the ones that he didn't like, or simply didn't want to support!"

I just stared at him in shock ... he didn't seem to like our previous leader at all and that was weird ... Everyone loved him!

"First...let me get this straight! Are you in a gang or something? Zayn? Oh god...you're not a gangster, are you?"

Louis asked Zayn in horror and grabbed his arm, but Zayn gently stroked his hand and shook his head. When Louis was sure that Zayn wasn't a criminal, he finally let out the breath he was holding back in his chest and took a deep breath with calmness. He had no idea that everyone in my house was a werewolf!

"Ok...that's a relief! And the next question...Ashford? Harry Ashford? Are you serious?"

When Louis looked at me in disbelief, I tried to look as innocent as possible, but I seemed to fail at it because he angrily picked up the cushion from beside the couch and threw it at me!

"They didn't tell you this, did they? Well, let me tell you...yes, darling ...they do know him! How? It's simple ...He's their boss!"

I really wanted to punch Zayn in the face! He didn't even wait a minute to ruin me even more in front of Louis! Why was he so angry? The only thing we did was to save their life and keep Louis safe!

"What does it mean? Does it mean Ashton and Mikey ...Ashton, do you work for Harry? If you had a job yourself, what was the need to work in the store?"

When Louis asked me seriously while staring at me, I felt depressed ... I knew one day I had to explain this to him but I wasn't ready at all ... I didn't want Louis to be disappointed in me because I knew he hated the liars the most but I didn't have an option! I opened my mouth to explain everything to him when I noticed Zayn's threatening look! It was clear that Zayn didn't want Louis to know anything about what was happening, and I wasn't willing to make Zayn angrier than he was in the absence of boss Ashford, so I kept my mouth shut!

"Ashton! Why don't you say something? I said if you have a job, why did you insist so much on working in the store? Why does none of your actions mean anything? Come on...tell me! Why did you need such a low-paying job when you have such a car and own a house that its price is too heavy, even for my imagination? What was going on today? Please explain otherwise I will definitely go crazy!"

He looked very tired and upset, and I really wanted to explain everything to him, but I didn't have the permission of boss Ashford, nor was I sure that if I said anything, Zayn would let me live or not! I was so close to bursting into tears out of desperation when Zayn finally decided to help me out!

"Wow...someone here had more questions than me, and you weren't even poisoned! Mm... Too much?"

Yup! Louis was boiling with rage!
