    Summary

    Zayn thinks, belatedly, the world probably doesn’t understand this boy at all. They don’t see past the façade and the way he’s so much more than a pair of boxing gloves and sweat and bruises and strong fists that knock the world on its arse.
     
    He’s a little bit beautiful and so very gentle and a stammering boy underneath layers of muscles.

    Zayn has heard and read a hundred different versions a love story -- except he doesn't believe in any of it. He doesn't believe in chasing silly dreams. Or finding a hero, a knight in shining armor. Or 'and they lived happily ever after.' But this strong boy with the crinkly eyes and pink cheeks and dumb smile? He believes in him. And a little bit more, too.
