Summary:

The bet is simple: loser has to submit to anything the winner decides.

Liam loses, and after having to spend the entire day with a vibrator inside his bum, vows to never make bets again.

"Zayn, it's pronounced like recess," Liam says, annoyed. Zayn rolls his eyes and responds with the same thing he's always said.

"No, Li, it's pronounced like Reece is."

They're both at Liam's flat, having the day off, and are indulging themselves in some chocolate sweets. All it took was for Liam to offer him a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup to resume the argument they've had for years, ever since the day they went out for frozen yogurt together while they were still in the competition.

"Zayn, just admit that I'm right and you're wrong," Liam huffs, unwrapping another peanut butter cup.

"Okay," Zayn agrees, snatching the chocolate from Liam's hand before popping it in his mouth. He chews it quickly and offers Liam a chocolate toothed smile. "I'm right and you're wrong."

Liam frowns and goes to get another pieces, holding it to his side so Zayn can't steal it.

"That's not what I meant, you donut," Liam grumbles.

"Well, it's true," Zayn says, smiling. "Because I'm right."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, Li, I am."

"Wanna bet?"

"Bet what?"

"Anything," Liam says, grinning cheekily, as if he knows he's already won. "Loser of the bet has to submit to whatever the winner decides."

"Okay, fine," Zayn shrugs. He's knows he's not going to lose. He knows how to pronounce Reece's. "How do you suggest we settle this, then?"

Liam bends down over the couch to pick up one of the discarded wrappers lying about before sitting back.

"We'll call The Hershey Company," Liam answers, tossing the wrapper to Zayn, who examines it before nodding.

"Alright then, you're on," Zayn says, already fishing out his cell phone. "Get ready to lose, Payne."

Liam smirks, sitting back smugly in wait as Zayn dials the number to the hotline, putting it on speakerphone.

"Hello, you've reached The Hershey Company, how may we help you?" a guy on the line asked.

"Hi," Zayn says, staring at Liam with a grin on his face. "My friend and I here have a question. We were just wondering how you pronounce the name of one of your products."

"Okay, I can help you with that," the guy says.

"Right, we were just wondering if it's said Recess," Liam says.

"Or Reece-is," Zayn enunciates, finishing the thought.

The guy on the line chuckles for a moment before answering.

"Well, after receiving dozens of calls similar to this one, I can confirm that it is pronounced Reece-is." Liam's eyes grew wide in mortification as he threw himself back on the couch, burying his face with his hands in shame, groaning in disappointment.
