"Was it planned?" Natalie asked as she eyed Zac as they both stood in the kitchen.
"Was what planned?" Zac asked doing his best to feign innocence as he looked at Natalie who was helping him fix a simple dinner. A dinner he was fixing for Harry.
Natalie rolled her eyes before crossing her arms, "This...Gemma and Nikki offering to take Harry out for a manicure and pedicure and you having me help you fix this homemade lasagna recipe that your mom makes," she said as she shook her head. "Though really you are doing most of the work and surprisingly not ruining anything so I don't see why you needed me."
"Maybe it was planned," Zac shrugged as he finished up the last layer of the lasagna and put it in the already pre-heated oven. "It's been in the plans for a month now."
"A month?!" Natalie asked as she felt her eyes growing wide. "Did I forget a big date you and Harry have or something?" she asked as she walked over to the calender and looked at it. "It's March so I know it's not your officially dating anniversary, that was June and you guys met in May so that rules out your meeting anniversary too."
Laughing Zac walked up behind Natalie, "It's no anniversary. I plan on asking Harry to marry me and I got his ring designed last month and Taylor picked it up the day before the baby shower and at the baby shower I asked for Anne's blessing and she gave it to me," he admitted as he watched Natalie turn to just give him a look that he couldn't read well and usually Natalie was an open book so this scared him just slightly.
"That's so sweet Zachary," Natalie spoke as a smile played on her lips and she pulled Zac into a hug. "I am so proud of you and all you have become," she muttered her voice cracking as she held Zac tighter.
"You are acting like some proud mother," Zac said as Natalie held him tighter and he made a face hoping she didn't hold him too much tighter or he may not be able to breathe.
Pulling away from the hug, Natalie rested her hand on Zac's cheek, "I kind of am," she smiled before shrugging. "I mean you lived with Taylor and I for so long and we watched you go from every Tom,Dick, and Harry before Zayn and then once you had Zayn it was every Tom,Dick, and Harry and then back to Zayn because you two were so on and off and now..now you are finally settling down and sowing your oats and I really honestly never thought that day would come or I feared it would come but with Zayn."
"But I thought you liked Zayn and still kept in contact with him," Zac said as he looked at Natalie confused. "So I figured you wouldn't ever mind it if I had settled down with him too."
"I do like Zayn," Natalie clarified as she moved her hand from Zac's cheek. "I just don't think he is husband or father material and if you had stayed with him I just don't think it would have made you as happy as you could have been."
"So you are saying I would have just been massively unhappy with anyone who wasn't Harry?" Zac asked as he gave Natalie a smile because he knew the answer to his own question. He would have been unhappy with Zayn or any other man who wasn't Harry and maybe Harry had came along at the right time because if Harry hadn't he probably would have taken Zayn back.
Meeting Harry had fallen in that three week gap when he stayed away from Zayn before running back, except when he had met Harry he hadn't ran back because he was too busy being wooed by Harry and wooing Harry in return though really he'd never cop to the wooing Harry part back in the early days because back then all he had wanted was a friends with benefits though he really hadn't ever looked at any other man once Harry came into his life, though some men had tried during their friends with benefits stage, Zac had always turned them down for one reason or another and now he knew why, had known for awhile. It was because Harry had always been the one and would always be the one and even before he knew it or could make himself say it he just never could think of hurting him or being with anyone else.
"I guess that is what I am saying," Natalie nodded as she smiled back at Zac. "You found your right fit in Harry."
"Then let's hope he says yes tonight," Zac said as he walked to the kitchen table and sat down. "I called Gemma this morning and she promised to keep him out until eight so I still have a few hours. Have to get some stuff ready because I want to sweep my man off his feet tonight."
Natalie shook her head as she looked at Zac, "Zachary, Harry would say yes to you even if you didn't sweep him off his feet."
"I don't know about that," Zac admitted feeling some last minute fears settling in his stomach. "He's been so wary ever since your and Taylor's split. Feels like there isn't any hope for anyone now sometimes."
"That's ridiculous," Natalie said as she sighed. "I'm going to have to talk to Harry eventually but what happened with Taylor and I is no reason for him to be negative. I just think Taylor and I, we need this time to grow individually and try new things and new people and then decide where we stand."
Zac nodded his head, "I get that but I'm not sure Harry does. All he sees is you and Taylor being stubborn by messing around with Louis and Nikki."
"But I love Louis and Taylor seems to be okay with Nikki," Natalie mused as she shrugged. "They aren't what's keeping us apart. We just don't feel like we click right at the moment and we click better with other people. It's why we've decided to do a trial separation for a year and then decide what to do after."
"Well don't tell Harry any of this until I have a ring on his finger, yeah?" Zac asked as he locked eyes with Natalie. "I don't need him saying no and wounding my pride."
"I'll do my best to keep my mouth shut if I see Harry before tonight, scout's honor," Natalie laughed as she did a little hand gesture proving she meant what she said. "Which speaking of tonight, tell me your plans so I can help you do those too. I mean if you need my help with all that stuff."
Zac just grinned at Natalie's enthusiasm, "I do need your help with some stuff still," he admitted as he looked at her. "Just some simple things to pick up at the store."
"I can do that," Natalie said. "Simple things are the easiest."
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Later that night Zac took several deep breaths as he stood in the kitchen with Natalie yet again. Gemma had just texted him that she was on her way back with Harry and now Zac really was nervous. "What if he says no?"
"He won't say no," Natalie reassured Zac as she got the lasagna out of the stove and sat it on the counter before getting down two plates. "Now go get the table ready. Set up the candles and all that junk while I put the food on the plates and get your music ready. It's the last things I have to do and I can probably make it out of here before Harry even gets home."
"Where are you going to go for the night?" Zac asked as he followed Natalie's orders. "I mean I almost feel as if I am kicking you out for the night last minute."
Natalie laughed at Zac's words, "You aren't kicking me out last minute," she reassured him as she plated the lasagna and turned around to hand them off to Zac when he walked behind her. "I texted Louis when I was out buying some of the stuff you needed. I'm gonna spend the night with him and Niall."
Zac raised an eyebrow at that but he didn't question it though he was sort of surprised at how well Natalie was getting on with Louis then again Louis had made Taylor change his mind about this pregnancy so maybe Natalie had reasons to love and be close to him.
"Well, I think everything is done," Zac finally said after the table was set and he chewed his lip. "Harry is on his way home and everything is ready. All I have to do is pray he says yes to me."
"He''ll say yes," Natalie grinned as she walked over to Zac and kissed his cheek. "Good luck," she whispered before pulling away and leaving the kitchen.
As Natalie left the kitchen Zac just sighed and sat down at a chair at the table as he listened to Natalie's footsteps as she walked around the house and soon he heard her holler out a goodbye and he knew then it was just him waiting on Harry to get back home.
The moment he finally heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway Zac swore his butterflies were getting worse in his stomach but he did his best to ignore them as he stood from the table and walked to the entrance of the kitchen where he could watch when Harry came inside.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Harry gave Gemma a kiss on the cheek before opening the car door, "Call me when you get home safely," he told her before getting out of the car and as he shut the door he swore he could hear her mutter something but he couldn't make out what it was. Shaking his head though he walked towards the house, hearing her drive away.
Reaching into the pocket of his jeans he got out the house key and let himself in, "Honey I'm...." he started but stopped as he walked inside and took in the house. It was silent except for what sounded like faint music coming from the kitchen and the aroma of food was hitting his nostrils as well.
"Zac?!" he questioned as he shut the front door and headed towards the kitchen. "What the heck is going on here?" he asked once he finally reached the kitchen and when he did he had to stop at the sight. There in front of Harry at the entry way was Zac but behind him the kitchen was set up nicely, only lit by candles on the table and two candles on the island in the middle of the kitchen and if Harry wasn't mistaken he was sure that was lasagna on the plates that were on the kitchen table.
Harry was sure his mouth dropped open some and he looked at the sight some more before his eyes fell back on Zac, "Y..you did all this?" he asked as he stepped just a bit farther into the kitchen.
"Mhmm," Zac said as he walked up behind Harry. "Had Natalie's help because I probably shouldn't be left unsupervised in the kitchen while trying to cook but I did most all of this."
Laughing slightly at Zac's words Harry just smiled as he felt tears in his eyes but he didn't want to cry, not right now but Zac rarely did anything this romantic and Harry swore his heart was going to burst with all the love he felt for this man. "Did I forget an anniversary?" he asked quietly as he walked towards the table.
"No anniversary," Zac answered as he shook his head, pulling a chair out for Harry once Harry had reached the table. "Just want to surprise and take care of my baby sometimes."
Harry couldn't help but smile more at Zac's words and he sat down, watching as Zac sat down across from him eventually. "And Gemma calling out of the blue to take me out today?"
"That was part of the plan as well," Zac smirked as he winked at Harry. "I needed an excuse to get you out of the house."
"I see," Harry said as he caught Zac's eye and returned the wink. It was after that, that they began to eat and talk about random trivial things though Harry's mind kept wandering off, wondering if Zac had other motives for tonight.
"How about a dance?" Zac asked once they had both finished eating. "You up for a dance Styles?"
Blushing slightly Harry chewed his lip as he looked at Zac, "I don't know Hanson, you know I have two left feet sometimes," he replied as he watched Zac stand up and walk over holding out his hand. "If we both fall down and get hurt don't blame me," he spoke before taking Zac's hand and standing up.
"We won't fall," Zac reassured him as he pulled Harry close. "And even if we did you'd land on me so you'd have a soft cushion and I'd be the one hurt," he teased as he let his lips go to Harry's cheek which he kissed softly.
Harry couldn't help but shiver as Zac kissed his cheek and as they began to move to the music, Harry closed his eyes as Zac began to hum the words of the song to him. It was some old nineties song and Harry thought the band may have been called All-4-One.
When the song hit one part though about never making a promise that one didn't intend to keep Harry opened his eyes as he felt Zac move away and he swore right then that he was frozen on the spot as he watched Zac drop down on one knee, reaching for something in the pocket of his pants and when Harry saw it was a small black box he felt those familiar tears wanting to come out again and the fight to keep them at bay became hard when Zac opened the box to reveal a Claddagh ring. It was much like the ring Harry saw when they had been in Ireland the week they made their relationship official and he had told Zac if he ever got engaged he wanted a ring just like that to wear proudly on his finger.
"Zac..." Harry started once he could finally talk but he watched as Zac shook his head no.
"Let me speak now okay?" Zac asked as he nodded his head, looking up at Harry. "I remember what you said in Ireland you know, the day I agreed to be your boyfriend officially. You saw a ring much like this one in some jewelry shop and told me if you ever got engaged you wanted a ring just like this. Well here is your ring baby," he smiled as his voice cracked some. "I know you've had your doubts lately on marriage and relationships lasting but I still want to give this marriage thing with you a try Harry Edward Styles. I know I can't promise you a perfect relationship, never could but what I can promise is as long as we're trying I'm staying, even with arguments and differences and everything. I'm staying and I want you to agree to marry me and stay as well."
Taking a deep breath Harry had to reach his hand up to wipe the tears going down his cheek, "Yes," he nodded as he locked eyes with Zac. "I'll marry you Zachary Walker Hanson because I'd choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you," he said as he smiled watching as Zac took his hand and slid the ring on it, with the tip of the heart pointing towards his finger tips.
After the ring was on his finger Harry turned his hand to look at it and he smiled, seeing that the heart had one side with his birthstone and the other side with Zac's.
"It's also engraved with the word Anam cara which is Gaelic for soul mate. The Irish supposedly believe when you are blessed with an anam cara that you have arrived at the most sacred place. Home," Zac spoke as he stood up and watched Harry look at the ring. "I had it personally made for you."
"It's beautiful," Harry said sincerely as he looked at Zac again. "It's so beautiful and you're so beautiful and we're engaged," he smiled before pulling Zac into a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too," Zac muttered as he kissed Harry back for a bit before pulling away. "But the nights not over. How about you head upstairs while I blow the candles out, but don't go into our bedroom without me."
Harry nodded and turned to walk up the stairs wondering just what else Zac had done, because really he had already made tonight wonderful and special and Harry was sure he had probably fallen deeper in love with him than he already was. Getting to their bedroom Harry came to a stop and waited on Zac though luckily he didn't have to wait long because before he knew it heard Zac's footsteps.
"No peaking," Zac spoke as he walked up behind Harry and threw a hand around Harry's eyes. "At least until I say you can," he said as he used his free hand to open their door and then he lead Harry inside the room.
Harry smiled but he did as Zac said and kept his eyes closed as Zac lead him into the room and the moment Zac removed his hand and said he could look his smile turned into a grin as he saw their bed covered in rose petals and this room too was lit just by candles on the bedside tables.
"I never knew you could be such the romantic Zac," Harry said as he turned to look at Zac, his arms reaching out to pull him closer. "My fiancee the secret romantic guy," he smirked as he let his arms go around Zac's waist. "I like it."
"Maybe I should do it more often then," Zac whispered before slowly inching his face closer to Harry's. "Like doing things that you like," he said before kissing him on the lips.
Kissing Zac back, Harry moaned out slightly as he felt Zac's tongue wanting entrance into his mouth, something he let happen and it was then that their kisses turned lazy and Harry really didn't mind. He almost kind of liked just lazily brushing his tongue along Zac's instead of kissing him fully. It was more of a turn on and it was helping to make him hard.
As he deepened the kiss finally, Harry fell back on the bed, bringing Zac down with him as he went. It was the move to the bed that finally broke the kiss though too but only long enough for both of them to get rid of their shirts and then the kissing started up again and continued through them removing their pants and underwear.
"Where you wearing lacy black panties?" Harry asked into the kiss as he felt Zac grinding their cocks together which made his own hips buck up slightly.
Zac bit down on Harry's lip before breaking the kiss to move his lips down onto Harry's neck, "Maybe," he muttered out as he bit into the flesh of Harry's skin. "Figured you'd like seeing me in those panties. You did buy them for me as your Valentine's Day gift."
"Oh....ughs....I did," Harry spoke as he felt Zac's lips travel from his neck and down onto his chest and over his bump, a bump that when he kissed it he did so, so softly and then his lips continued on their way down and before Harry could even react Zac had somehow made it between his legs and Harry moaned out loudly as he felt Zac's tongue brushing across his hole.
"Fucking hell," he hissed out as his head fell back into the pillows and roses and Harry let his eyes fall shut as Zac continued to lick around and even in his hole. Zac's tongue just felt so good there and Harry was sure that if he tried to speak anything that they'd all just end up being curse words.
When he felt one of Zac's fingers slide inside of him as Zac continued his licking, Harry bucked up again and even with his eyes closed he let his hands find their way down to Zac's hair and he tugged and pulled on it, liking the feelings that Zac was giving him.
"L...love it when you eat my ass," Harry whimpered out as Zac began to move his finger in and out of Harry at a nice pace. "Love it so much daddy," he sighed as he gave Zac's hair a hard tug, his eyes opening again. "Always satisfying your baby," he smirked as he watched Zac move away long enough to smile at him before going back to work with his finger and his tongue.
It was when he started to get close though that Harry felt Zac pull away again and he whimpered out, only stopping when Zac came back up to kiss him as he got himself aligned at his entrance and soon entered him.
"Not how I want to get my baby off," Zac said into Harry's mouth once he was inside of him. "Want to get you off the proper way," he finished as he let his hand wrap around Harry's cock and he began to thrust in and out of him, letting his hand find a rhythm with his hips.
Finding himself moving with Zac's hand and his thrusts Harry felt his breathing getting harder and his kisses to Zac got more frantic and feverish because he knew he was close and he figured from the way Zac was moving into him that Zac too was close. "Come on daddy," he purred out into the kiss feeling Zac began to tremble above him. "Make your baby come and come with him," he said as he felt a familiar feeling building up into his stomach.
"Baby so close?" Zac asked as his movements got even harder and faster and he was sure Harry's back was pressed as far into the mattress as it could go.
All Harry could do was nod at that because it was then that he came and as he came he found himself biting down onto Zac's lips as his body trembled and he felt himself slowly clench around Zac who it seemed soon followed him into finishing because soon he could feel Zac filling him up literally and he just laid there grinning because this probably was the best way to end tonight.
"Fuck," Zac sighed as he pulled out of Harry and laid beside him on the bed. "Just fuck."
Harry laughed and nodded at that, "I think that's how I feel too," he said as he moved closer to Zac once Zac was laying beside him. "Just fuck but it's a good feeling to have after tonight," he smiled as he kissed Zac's cheek.
Zac grinned as Harry kissed his cheek, "It is hmm?" he asked as he pulled him closer. "You sure I took care of you good enough?"
"You always take care of me fine," Harry grinned as he snuggled into Zac, stifling a yawn. "Daddy knows how to take care of business," he said as he kissed Zac's cheek again. "Going to make a good husband to me," he admitted knowing Zac would be a good husband.
"Lucky to have you," he added on as his eyes closed and he drifted off not even caring that he had rose petals stuck to his back or that he was sweaty and sticky. As he slept though he found himself dreaming of Zac and weddings and maybe even babies..lots of babies.
"Was what planned?" Zac asked doing his best to feign innocence as he looked at Natalie who was helping him fix a simple dinner. A dinner he was fixing for Harry.
Natalie rolled her eyes before crossing her arms, "This...Gemma and Nikki offering to take Harry out for a manicure and pedicure and you having me help you fix this homemade lasagna recipe that your mom makes," she said as she shook her head. "Though really you are doing most of the work and surprisingly not ruining anything so I don't see why you needed me."
"Maybe it was planned," Zac shrugged as he finished up the last layer of the lasagna and put it in the already pre-heated oven. "It's been in the plans for a month now."

"That's so sweet Zachary," Natalie spoke as a smile played on her lips and she pulled Zac into a hug. "I am so proud of you and all you have become," she muttered her voice cracking as she held Zac tighter.

Pulling away from the hug, Natalie rested her hand on Zac's cheek, "I kind of am," she smiled before shrugging. "I mean you lived with Taylor and I for so long and we watched you go from every Tom,Dick, and Harry before Zayn and then once you had Zayn it was every Tom,Dick, and Harry and then back to Zayn because you two were so on and off and now..now you are finally settling down and sowing your oats and I really honestly never thought that day would come or I feared it would come but with Zayn."

Zac nodded his head, "I get that but I'm not sure Harry does. All he sees is you and Taylor being stubborn by messing around with Louis and Nikki."
"But I love Louis and Taylor seems to be okay with Nikki," Natalie mused as she shrugged. "They aren't what's keeping us apart.

Taking a deep breath Harry had to reach his hand up to wipe the tears going down his cheek, "Yes," he nodded as he locked eyes with Zac. "I'll marry you Zachary Walker Hanson because I'd choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you," he said as he smiled watching as Zac took his hand and slid the ring on it, with the tip of the heart pointing towards his finger tips.
After the ring was on his finger Harry turned his hand to look at it and he smiled, seeing that the heart had one side with his birthstone and the other side with Zac's.
"It's also engraved with the word Anam cara which is Gaelic for soul mate. The Irish supposedly believe when you are blessed with an anam cara that you have arrived at the most sacred place. Home," Zac spoke as he stood up and watched Harry look at the ring. "I had it personally made for you."
"It's beautiful," Harry said sincerely as he looked at Zac again. "It's so beautiful and you're so beautiful and we're engaged," he smiled before pulling Zac into a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too," Zac muttered as he kissed Harry back for a bit before pulling away. "But the nights not over. How about you head upstairs while I blow the candles out, but don't go into our bedroom without me."
Harry nodded and turned to walk up the stairs wondering just what else Zac had done, because really he had already made tonight wonderful and special and Harry was sure he had probably fallen deeper in love with him than he already was. Getting to their bedroom Harry came to a stop and waited on Zac though luckily he didn't have to wait long because before he knew it heard Zac's footsteps.
"No peaking," Zac spoke as he walked up behind Harry and threw a hand around Harry's eyes. "At least until I say you can," he said as he used his free hand to open their door and then he lead Harry inside the room.
Harry smiled but he did as Zac said and kept his eyes closed as Zac lead him into the room and the moment Zac removed his hand and said he could look his smile turned into a grin as he saw their bed covered in rose petals and this room too was lit just by candles on the bedside tables.
"I never knew you could be such the romantic Zac," Harry said as he turned to look at Zac, his arms reaching out to pull him closer. "My fiancee the secret romantic guy," he smirked as he let his arms go around Zac's waist. "I like it."
"Maybe I should do it more often then," Zac whispered before slowly inching his face closer to Harry's. "Like doing things that you like," he said before kissing him on the lips.
Kissing Zac back, Harry moaned out slightly as he felt Zac's tongue wanting entrance into his mouth, something he let happen and it was then that their kisses turned lazy and Harry really didn't mind. He almost kind of liked just lazily brushing his tongue along Zac's instead of kissing him fully. It was more of a turn on and it was helping to make him hard.
As he deepened the kiss finally, Harry fell back on the bed, bringing Zac down with him as he went. It was the move to the bed that finally broke the kiss though too but only long enough for both of them to get rid of their shirts and then the kissing started up again and continued through them removing their pants and underwear.
"Where you wearing lacy black panties?" Harry asked into the kiss as he felt Zac grinding their cocks together which made his own hips buck up slightly.
Zac bit down on Harry's lip before breaking the kiss to move his lips down onto Harry's neck, "Maybe," he muttered out as he bit into the flesh of Harry's skin. "Figured you'd like seeing me in those panties. You did buy them for me as your Valentine's Day gift."
"Oh....ughs....I did," Harry spoke as he felt Zac's lips travel from his neck and down onto his chest and over his bump, a bump that when he kissed it he did so, so softly and then his lips continued on their way down and before Harry could even react Zac had somehow made it between his legs and Harry moaned out loudly as he felt Zac's tongue brushing across his hole.
"Fucking hell," he hissed out as his head fell back into the pillows and roses and Harry let his eyes fall shut as Zac continued to lick around and even in his hole. Zac's tongue just felt so good there and Harry was sure that if he tried to speak anything that they'd all just end up being curse words.
When he felt one of Zac's fingers slide inside of him as Zac continued his licking, Harry bucked up again and even with his eyes closed he let his hands find their way down to Zac's hair and he tugged and pulled on it, liking the feelings that Zac was giving him.
"L...love it when you eat my ass," Harry whimpered out as Zac began to move his finger in and out of Harry at a nice pace. "Love it so much daddy," he sighed as he gave Zac's hair a hard tug, his eyes opening again. "Always satisfying your baby," he smirked as he watched Zac move away long enough to smile at him before going back to work with his finger and his tongue.
It was when he started to get close though that Harry felt Zac pull away again and he whimpered out, only stopping when Zac came back up to kiss him as he got himself aligned at his entrance and soon entered him.
"Not how I want to get my baby off," Zac said into Harry's mouth once he was inside of him. "Want to get you off the proper way," he finished as he let his hand wrap around Harry's cock and he began to thrust in and out of him, letting his hand find a rhythm with his hips.
Finding himself moving with Zac's hand and his thrusts Harry felt his breathing getting harder and his kisses to Zac got more frantic and feverish because he knew he was close and he figured from the way Zac was moving into him that Zac too was close. "Come on daddy," he purred out into the kiss feeling Zac began to tremble above him. "Make your baby come and come with him," he said as he felt a familiar feeling building up into his stomach.
"Baby so close?" Zac asked as his movements got even harder and faster and he was sure Harry's back was pressed as far into the mattress as it could go.
All Harry could do was nod at that because it was then that he came and as he came he found himself biting down onto Zac's lips as his body trembled and he felt himself slowly clench around Zac who it seemed soon followed him into finishing because soon he could feel Zac filling him up literally and he just laid there grinning because this probably was the best way to end tonight.
"Fuck," Zac sighed as he pulled out of Harry and laid beside him on the bed. "Just fuck."
Harry laughed and nodded at that, "I think that's how I feel too," he said as he moved closer to Zac once Zac was laying beside him. "Just fuck but it's a good feeling to have after tonight," he smiled as he kissed Zac's cheek.
Zac grinned as Harry kissed his cheek, "It is hmm?" he asked as he pulled him closer. "You sure I took care of you good enough?"
"You always take care of me fine," Harry grinned as he snuggled into Zac, stifling a yawn. "Daddy knows how to take care of business," he said as he kissed Zac's cheek again. "Going to make a good husband to me," he admitted knowing Zac would be a good husband.
"Lucky to have you," he added on as his eyes closed and he drifted off not even caring that he had rose petals stuck to his back or that he was sweaty and sticky. As he slept though he found himself dreaming of Zac and weddings and maybe even babies..lots of babies.
