As soon as Liam was in eyesight, Edward let out a breath and ran towards him, nearly tackling him and taking him into a hug and picking him up at the same time

He put Liam down and rushed out sentences before all but dragging the smaller one away

Liam looked back and waved at Zayn before he took Ed's hand and ran forward

Zayn wanted to ask him to wait, but he watched Liam go

~~~~~

From the window, Zayn watched Liam who was outside. Talking to Demeter herself

She said something and Liam said something back and she flailed her hands and he cringed, she then sighed and patted his cheeks before she walked away

3 of her daughters following her, Liam watched them before he ran inside. Zayn let the windows close and turned to Dionysus

"Why is Liam doing a lot of work for the wedding?"

He looked at Zayn "Because he's Edward's best man... it's nearly exactly like what Niall is doing for Louis"

"Niall seems more relaxed"

"Niall doesn't have Demeter up his arse"

"Don't speak her name, team Zayn over here doesn't like her"

Dionysus turned to Hermes "I don't like her either!! He asked and I answered a question"

"You still spoke her name"

"You insufferable-"

"Do you both ever quiet down?" Hestia said with a sigh

Zayn shook his head "No, they don't" he said then rested his head against the window

~~~~~

Liam slumped down against a chair and let out a sigh. He felt like he couldn't walk anymore

With the wedding being less than a month away, Edward was starting to panic; and Demeter was angry because Liam wasn't there when it first started

Liam managed to calm him down then spent the whole day running to make sure everything was alright

Every time he'd be done with something, he'd be given something else to do.

He found his strength and stood up, walking to his bedroom while rubbing his eyes, he was walking up some stairs when the back of the jumper he was wearing was yanked back

Liam blinked and cringed when he realized he nearly walked into a gargoyle statue

Liam slumped his shoulders "Thank you"

"Don't mention it"

Zayn wrapped his arms around Liam's waist and walked with him the rest of the way. Liam nearly tripping a dozen times but Zayn held him closer each time

He opened the door to Liam's room, and helped him into the bed

Liam frowned "I need a shower" he mumbled "I'm disgusting and I've been running around all day"

Zayn shook his head and cupped Liam's cheeks "Rest. Shower in the morning."

Liam looked at him "But-... but-"

"Bed, sunshine. You need to rest or you'll run yourself down before the wedding even happens"

Liam laughed but nodded with his eyes closed "Night Zee..."

That's the second time Liam called him that, and it's the second time Zayn's heart felt weird
