"I still believe in heroes."
~Nick Fury: Avengers

~~~~~

Zayn peeled off the bandage around his neck and looked at the deep scar

"Do you plan on saying anything, anytime soon? You've been completely quiet for nearly a month now"

Zayn looked at Brian then looked back at himself, he slipped his turtle neck on and made sure to cover up his neck

He was.... Forced to say with Brian

Brian might have intentionally cut a little too deep, he almost cut through Zayn's vocal cord

The doctor who stitched him up told Brian it's a bad idea to leave him alone for too long.... Thinking it was self inflicted

So, of course, Zayn didn't have a say, no matter how much he wanted to curse the doctor out

As soon as he was allowed back onto his feet, he stuck a knife into the fucker who was in Liam's room

He then silently threw the bloody knife and severed head on some important documents on Brian's desk then walked out of the room and slammed the door shut

He has mostly been on liquids, staying in the room

Once every few hours Brian would come in and ask him questions

Trying to pull Zayn out of his state of not speaking

But nothing worked

He even brought out Zayn's old therapist.... The fucker forgot she was a pediatric therapist

She no longer knew how to help him as she hasn't seen Zayn since he was 9 and he threatened to cut her open because she was annoying him by saying Brian cares in his own ways

Zayn was finally allowed to leave, so he's leaving

He took his stuff and walked out

"Zayn" Brian said but Zayn didn't stop walking

"I do this- I DO THIS BECAUSE I CARE"

Zayn just flipped him off in response

~~~~~

Liam was there, and they now stood 5 feet apart

While Liam would've usually ran upto Zayn and hugged him

He noticed the look in Zayn's eyes, cold, distant and quiet

Liam's heart slightly fell at that, but Zayn just dropped the bag that was hanging off of his shoulders and walked towards Liam

He cupped Liam's cheeks and kissed him, Liam's eyes were wide before they fluttered closed and kissed Zayn back

He fisted Zayn's shirt tightly, and Zayn pulled him closer

They pulled away and rested their foreheads together

Zayn's eyes were closed but Liam's were open

Studying all he could from Zayn's face

~~~~~

Zayn wrote down that he plans on staying quiet for a while

Liam had questions but he didn't ask he just nodded, he took Zayn's hand between both of his own and massaged Zayn's hand

Zayn stayed quiet, the under eye circles seem to be insistent to stay

Liam frowned at them "While you were away.... Did you sleep at all?"
