'One Direction's' Zayn Malik Overprotective Over Harry Styles

Harry Styles may be wildly fond of cougars which is ironic given he's the youngest member of the band, One Direction. It's all the more reason for Zayn Malik to feel very much overprotective of Styles. This in itself proves there is definitely more than "brotherly love" running between the boys.

The boys of One Direction may be easily dubbed as carefree and wild. Yet, sometimes the criticisms and comments go overboard to the point that these affect the way the boys go on with their lives. One of the boys who have gotten the most web whiplash is Harry Styles.

Harry, as fans may know, is the outspoken member of the group. For one, Styles has been caught out with a few ladies all of whom are twice his age. Still, while Harry goes on appearing unscathed at the nasty comments of tabloids, co-band member, Zayn Malik says Styles is quite sensitive in reality.

In an interview with The Sun, Zayn Malik opens up on what Styles really feels about his relationships causing headlines and how people would "give him grief" over his newest escapades. Malik confesses that Styles, no matter how strong his front may be, is the most sensitive of the group.

"He is the baby of the group, but people seem to forget that because of the way that he is and that he is so charming," explains Malik, adding, "So it is a little bit upsetting sometimes if you see him with the weight of the world on his shoulders. It does annoy us a bit. He's a young kid and people are just giving him grief for no reason."

The pairing of Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles as "Stylinson" might be overrun thanks to Malik's interview. Still, it all just is brotherly love and nothing else. As for Zayn Malik, apart from caring about girlfriend, Perrie Edwards, he's got Harry Styles to look out after.

"The only person I really worry about is Zayn, because I don't think he's quite accustomed to all of this," says Zayn.

Harry Styles is definitely one lucky guy to be part of an affectionate and talented group of boys. Hopefully, Styles finds the right girl to do Malik's share of the over protectiveness and someone who is as the same age as him.
