When Zayn comes back, the first thing Liam checks is his hand. There are rings on it, but they are all Zayn's; thick silver bands with huge stones and engravings.
Zayn obviously notices his movement, and smirks at him, “I obviously wouldn't dare.”
Before enveloping Zayn into a hug he says, “I knew. I was just making sure and also I like your hands.”
“I missed you baby,” Zayn inhales into his neck, feeling Liam's lips drop kisses on his ear.
“I missed you more,” Liam says, then he moves back, “Oh and also, you will hate my new girlfriend.”
Zayn makes a face, “What the fuck? I am gone for two days and-”
“Maybe that was the purpose of sending you away,” Liam says.
“Have you- you know, met her?” Zayn asks, clutching the front of Liam's Batman shirt tightly.
“Yeah, she's pretty,” Liam says, “Like Leona Lewis.”
Zayn makes an envious sound, “Are you deliberately trying to make me kill her?”
Liam laughs, kissing Zayn's forehead, “You don't have to worry babe, I am all yours.”
“I will have to sit beside Perrie tonight,” Zayn tells him.
“What?” Liam asks, Zayn likes the astonished reaction. He can play this game too.
“At the TCAs, I'll have to sit with her and her band,” Zayn explains, as he watches Liam's face twist in utter disapproval.
“No,” Liam states.
“Don't have a choice,” Zayn shrugs.
“I am going to sit right beside you then and keep glaring at her,” Liam says.
“I don't think Will is going to like that,” Zayn chuckles.
“How about I poison her drink?” Liam asks.
“There will be a lot of cameras watching, the risk will be pretty high.”
“Why is this so hard?”
“I think it will be better for you to leave. And also to stay away from the Internet until I come back.”
“I thought I'd have some alone time with you today,” Liam sighs, kissing the tip of his nose.
Zayn looks around the empty living room, “Well nobody is here right now.”
Liam grins at him, “Yeah. You're right.”
And the rest of it is a cute, sappy mess of limbs and kisses and shirtless.
