More than a bromance [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 6 (Liam's POV)

Chapter 6:

"So, which movie do you want to watch?" I ask as Niall comes back from the kitchen. Of course, he had to take everything he could find with him. In his left hand, he holds a huge bag of Lays, in the other one a bowl with popcorn and some chocolate bars on top of it.

"I don't care. You can choose, Li," Zayn says.

"I'd like to-," Niall starts as his phone starts ringing. "That's my mum. You can watch without me," and with those words, he goes to his room.

"Now it's just the two of us. Should we do something different than watching a movie?" I ask Zayn but realize how wrong it sounded. "I mean not that kind of different thing you know like playing a fun game," I ramble.

"Liam, I know what you meant," he says smiling, "So, how about we play our own little game of Truth or Dare? You could learn some more.."
"Yes, that's a great idea!" I hope I don't sound too excited.

I like spending time with Zayn alone. He's so easy-going and fun to be around. To the outside, he may seem like the mysterious and intimidating guy but in reality, he isn't that at all.

"Okay, I'll start with truth," Zayn states. I shake myself out of my thoughts and think of a question.

"What did you like most about this trip so far?"

"I love that we get to know each other better during the games. And also our little talk in the hot tub, that was really nice," he answers. "Truth or dare, Li?"

"I'm gonna take truth as well."

"What do you think are Louis and Harry doing in there?"

I think for a bit about how I should answer this. I can't reveal the things they told me. Harry has told me about his crush on Louis and Louis also came to me. In the end, I say, "I think they are watching a movie, maybe cuddle together."

"So you don't think something is going on between them? There are very clingy to each other and now that we know that Harry's gay... Maybe he's gay for Louis?"

Everything in me tries not to tell him what I know because it's so hard to deny anything from this handsome man. "Maybe," I mumble.

"I think it's possible that Louis's gay as well. That sounds maybe a bit mean but it's just a feeling. And if that's true they would make an amazing couple. Like, look at them. They are so cute already as best friends," Zayn tells more and more. I study his whole face and listen to his beautiful voice.

It may be weird to have those thoughts but they just don't tend to leave. I don't know if I want us to be more or if it's just a physical attraction...

"I think we'll find out soon. It's your turn so do you take truth or dare?" I interrupt him.
"Uhm, I'll take truth. I'm too tired to do any dares," he states. "Yeah, me too. Should we play Truth or Strip instead?" I suggest knowing it's a plus for me.

Zayn smirks at me but agrees.

"Do you like someone at the moment?" I ask hoping for a certain answer, but on the other hand, being scared of that.

"Yes, I think so. I don't know where it will lead or if it's just a stupid crush but yes."

There I have it. He's probably straight and not crushing on me-

"Do you have feelings for anyone at the moment?" Zayn gets me back to reality. "Same as your answer," I say grinning sheepishly.

He grins back and all of a sudden I feel something in my tummy. It feels like my organs and guts are doing summersaults. I'm not a romantic guy but are those these butterflies everyone is talking about? I don't know and quickly think of a question I could ask Zayn to distract myself.

"Who did you dream about the last time you had a romantic dream?"

Zayn pulls his shirt off. Now the only things he is wearing are his shorts and boxers unless he prefers to just sleep in shorts.

"Have you ever read smut about a ship in the band and if yes which was it?" he quickly goes on.

"Yes, I did," I decide to say. He doesn't have to interpret anything in it so it's all good, "And the ones it was about were you and me."

I see how his cheeks turn a bit red but after a second he recovered and smiles slightly. "Do you have any good story?" he asks then coming back to his flirty self. I let out a silent sigh of relief and reply while winking at him, "I'll show you my list after this game." He laughs and I feel how the atmosphere goes back to normal.

"Who's your favourite ship in the band?" I request since it's my turn to ask.

"Obviously, I ship Larry but Ziam is a close second," this time he winks at me, "Just look at us two handsome lads getting along so well." I feel my face heat up. If he only knew...

"Who do you like?"

Oh, no way that I am telling him that right now. I better strip this shirt down.

"Getting all shy, all of the sudden, Payno," Zayn teases me.
"Ugh, Z. Would you like to tell me who you secretly admire?" I say extra cheesy to cover up my nervousness. "Okay, you got me," he responds and strips off his trousers.

I feel the disappointment. I didn't expect him to answer but I'd genuinely like to know the answer. Well, if he doesn't want to tell me then it's okay. I think.

I come out of my thoughts and look at him as he sits down now just in his boxers. My eyes gaze at his area for a quick second. I clear my throat and wait for his question.

"Did you ever have a dirty fantasy about someone in this band? If so who?"

Why does Zayn always have to ask who? I'd say yes but never in a million years who.

"Not gonna tell you," I say and take my shorts off.
"Well, at least I know now that you had one. It better be me," Zayn says chuckling but caught me off guard and I look at the ground so he doesn't see my tomato-reddish face.

"Uhm, Li?" Shit, did I miss something?

I look up again forcing myself to act normal.

"Yeah?" I aks as nothing happened. Zayn frowns a bit but then asks, "How about we stop it here since we both got nothing much on anymore. Plus I'm tired."
"Yeah, no problem. I'm tired as well." I am relieved that he didn't say anything more because I couldn't handle it if it would get weirder. It already was pretty awkward.

"Then goodnight. See you tomorrow!" "Night, Z!"

I hear his door close and stand up. I'm quite confused about what do to now. Maybe I should talk to Harry about my feelings. He is most likely to understand me.

I go to his room but see that it's empty.

He's probably still in Louis' room watching something. I go to the bathroom they both share and want to open the door but stop myself from doing that. I wouldn't want to come in on something I don't want to see.

I try to look through the keyhole but just see blankets. I eavesdrop but can't seem to hear anything so I open the door.

As I walk in I see that the TV is turned off. Louis and Harry are cuddled with each other but with closed eyes.

I sigh and turn around not wanting to wake them up. They look so cute together and even though they don't know it yet, I know that the next few days will be very important for them.

I close the door and when I lie down in my bed I fall asleep very quickly.
