Chapter 7 - Everything about you

A/N: I think I wouldn't be able to continue this in at least 4 weeks. So I would post this early! I'm sorry if this chapter is lame to you guys!

_________________________________________________________________________

Liam had thought about the other night’s incident over and over and over and he finally came to a decision, quite cruel and impossible but that was the only thing happened in his mind: He decided to stay away from Zayn! Liam knew this could break their friendship, but what else could he do? He was afraid after all. He didn’t want neither Zayn nor him do something more stupid… than kissing the other, not to mention the fact that that was maybe just a joke to Zayn.

Okay, here was the trategy. Liam would try his best to advoid being alone with Zayn. In some cases, Liam thought the only thing he could do was to keep company, for example, staying in the kitchen with Niall all day. Well that was stupid. Niall’s fart was not something Liam wanted to play with (A/N: Sorry Nialler!). If this plan worked, he, I mean they, would have more time to think about what they had done, what their mistakes was and manage to fix it and maybe, just maybe, get back to be best friend again.

However, as aforesaid, that plan was quite impossible. You want to know why? Let me remind you: THEY LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE, NOT TO MENTION THE SAME ROOM. Zayn was not a dim guy to not notice all the weird act of Liam. I mean, when did Liam prefer to spending time with the boys goofing off, mostly watch Niall digging for food rather than going back to his room and take a beauty rest with Zayn (to save his voice, Zayn’s speaking).

Zayn wasn’t dim, that fact didn’t make him a sensitive one, yet he had written quite a great number of letters to his girlfriends, I mean ex-girlfriends. Yes, Zayn did notice the weird-Liam (how couldn’t he!?), but at first he just thought Liam was still mad at what he had done earlier. The poor boy kept to himself the thought that Liam would be over it soon, that everything was quite normal between friends... right? However, Zayn would have to find a way to reach Liam and see into the problem. And that was not very clever of Zayn, since the time he spent with Liam these days was nearly zero. When they were at work, no chance would Liam agree to talk about such private things. And when they were at home, Liam always kept company with him and it was SO hard find him alone, apart from when he was taking a shower or... well, I’d better not say. Zayn couldn’t just jump into Liam’s bathtub and ask about the advoiding stuff. But he wasn’t a pervert... was he? Well, on second thought, that was quite a good idea, I mean, attack Liam while he was unconscious. Ah what were you thinking Zayn??

However, today was Zayn’s chance to get it straight with Liam as Harry had appointments, definitely with some girls and Niall had his mother coming over, so he took her to the shopping mall or who-the-hell-know-where.

Zayn saw Liam walking down the stairs. He had always been waking up so late in the morning. The boy looked quite frightened as he realised there was no sign of other lads. Zayn really didn’t like the way Liam rolled his eyes scanning for the someone besides him.

“To your concern, the others went out.” Zayn mocked, and he then immediately regreted. He didn’t want to say bring about any fight.

Luckily, Liam didn’t pay attention to Zayn’s words. He just wanted to get away from the charming boy. “I’m going out too, Zayn.” Liam walked towards the door.

“Wait.” Zayn stood in his way. Then he looked up. Liam could feel a confused feeling rising in his eyes. Liam loved it, to be honest. “Have a seat! I got a few word.”

Liam didn’t want to talk to Zayn right now, but what else could he do? He sat down, refused to look Zayn in the eyes. “What is it, Zayn? Make it fast. I’m in a hurry.”

Zayn didn’t like the feeling as if he was disturbing Liam. “You got no plan.” He continued mocking.

Liam could no longer stand the boy. Zayn was trying to slow him down. What if he couldn’t control himself and spill his secret. “OK if you’re not starting now, I’m leaving.” Liam stood up.

“No no no. Sit down!” Zayn pulled Liam’s shirt. He had no option but talk to the main point “Are you trying to advoiding me?”

“Wha-what? NO I DIDN’T.” Liam protested almost immediately. He was confused. Was it that easy to see? Liam looked at Zayn, tried to hide his thought. He blinked his eyes acting innocent. “I don’t know what nonsense stuff you were talking about!”

“Stop making fool of yourself Liam, stop acting innocent. You knew it too well.” Zayn burst out in words. He was surely pissed “If you don’t tell me why you were advoiding me, don’t think of leaving this house.”

“I knew WHAT, Zayn? I don’t get a thing you say. Damn it. What am I supposed to know?” Liam raised his voice. He was still trying to hide it from his mate.

Zayn stopped. He had to rearrange his thoughts for quite a long time. He had been watching Liam since the very first day and he wanted Liam to know how much he meant to Zayn. But wasn’t that supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend’s stuff? Would the be called gay if that was between boys? In these situation, he didn’t know if he wanted to tell Liam. This had been the most difficult desicion ever. To tell and maybe never be the same or not to tell and never get the chance again.

“Forget it! I’m leaving.” Liam stood up and walked away towards the door. Zayn had the feeling Liam was stabbing a knife into him when he suddenly closed his heart and didn’t let Zayn a chance to explain

“I love you Liam Payne...” – Zayn mumbled, almost impossible to hear. His face was burried in sorrow. He didn’t think he would say this. He never thought of it. But when it came out, it came out from his heart. Zayn knew he meant it. He was damn serious about this.

“What did you say?” Liam didn’t believe his ears. Sometimes he hated himself for listening too well.

“I LOVE YOU LIAM!” Zayn eyes met Liam’s shocking face. So he had heard it right. So what? Zayn started to say it. “From the first time I saw you onstage, I felt some sort of strange feelings for you. It was almost familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It was like I had known you for ages. I was afraid at the way I like it when tears filled you eyes easily and the way they sparkle when you sing. I felt like... everything about you was so perfect. I didn’t even think I would deserve in the same team with you. And I wanted to kiss you and the judges so badly when we were set up in the same group...”

If there was a word that could describe Liam right now, it would be “PARALYSED”. A lot of things were running through his brain right now and he felt like it was not big enough to contain those things. In conclusion, however, there were two main feelings: HAPPY and FEAR. Liam wanted to say something. He always saw Zayn as a friend, a brother, a family, but deep down inside, he wanted to grab Zayn around the waist and return his kiss. The strangest thought was that Liam wanted to push Zayn down on the floor, on top of him and made love with him hard way. Liam’s thought had run out of his control and that what made him so afraid. He didn’t want to be called GAY. NO, Liam shook his head. He couldn’t be a gay, could he? And neither did Zayn, he knew. But what did Zayn just say to him?

“Stop playing around Zayn. I’m very busy.” Liam finally managed to say something, but that was against his will. He wished he had said that.

“Do I look like I was kidding? Do I look like Louis?” Zayn’s face now was nonchalant. He somehow knew that Liam would react like this, he knew the boy too well. It came as no surprise. However, Zayn was sad. Liam tore his heart into pieces.

“It was me thinking now that what if I hadn’t held myself back and gone all the way that night you slept on my shoulders. Would that changed everything?” Zayn peaked his eyes on Liam’s face, he noticed the boy was a little blushed. Zayn felt annoying and at the same time, he thought it was cute. He was in a daze. Yes Zayn was really mad at Liam’s indecision, but when he looked at the boy, he could do nothing but want to kiss him. “Forget it. I was an idiot to say that.”

Then Zayn stood up and walked to the doorstep, towards Liam. Liam could feel his heart beat faster when Zayn was near him. “ I’m going out for some fresh air. Keep my key for me, I won’t be back soon.”

Then, Zayn opened the door and left. Liam threw himself down the couch. What just happened?

A/N: You probably know why I named this "Everything about you".

And you have always been the only one I wanted

And I wanted you to know without you I can't face it

All we wanna have is fun

But they say that we're too young

Let them say what they want

It's everything about you, you, you

Everything that you do, do do

From the way that we touch baby

To the way that you kiss on me

It's everything about you, you, you

It's everything that you do, do do

Like every party is just us too

And there's nothing I could point too

It's everything about you, you, you

Everything about you, you, you

It's everything that you do, do do

It's everything about you
