You knew a lot of things about your boyfriend, his favourite food, colour, country, pretty much everything. His phobia was something you never knew about though, and when you did, it had you laughing your guts out.

Coco had called you earlier, saying it's an 'emergency', so you immediately arrived at her place. You first went to Liam's bedroom and knocked on his door, a groggy croaky voice answered. You opened the door slightly and met red eyes, eyes belonging to Liam.

He was surrounded by tissues and had his blanket strewn across his bed. His laptop was in front of him and you could hear dialogue from his favourite movie playing. Next to his bed was a flask, and a couple boxes of tissues, one of which was empty.

"I told you to come in, Y/n." Liam said, his voice breaking slightly before he started coughing violently.

"Jeez... you look sick."

"Nice observation, genius."

You cautiously went near him and sat on his bed.

"Did you have your medicine? Or at least some soup?"

He shook his head.

"Is there hot water in that flask?"

"It's probably normal temperature now."

"Where's Coco?"

"Making something in the kitchen."

"I'll be right back." You said, getting up and kissing Liam's cheek before leaving the room to go see Coco.

You smelled something savoury being within six feet of the kitchen. Coco was stirring something in a big pot with a wooden spoon, but looked towards you when she heard your not-so-quiet entrance.

"Y/n, HEY!" She said, excitedly coming to greet you. "Perfect timing, I was just making lunch."

"Are you making soup?"

"Yeah! For Liam, even though he doesn't like soup."

You were confused. You thought you knew everything there was to know about the blond. "What do you mean?"

"He's scared of spoons, it's an irrational fear and I don't know how he got it but his reaction to seeing a spoon in his food is pathetic." She said, adding some oregano and stirring again. "And priceless."

For the first minute or so, you couldn't believe what you were hearing. Liam von Karma, someone who asks the teacher stupid questions to stall time so you could speed-write your homework, was scared of spoons? The next thing you know, you were balling over in laughter, clutching your stomach and wiping away a lone tear.

Coco was cackling alongside you. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true."

"I'm going to need to see this for myself-"

"Feel free to do so." She ladled some soup in a fancy China bowl and handed it to you, winking at you as you left the kitchen.

****

"NO! Y/N PLEASE, get that damn spoon AWAY FROM ME!-" Liam pleaded, attempting to hide under the covers.

"You need to have this if you want to feel better, Liam." You said, firmly, snatching away his beloved blanket and throwing it to the side. "Coco lovingly made it for you."

"Like HELL I'm going to believe that!"

"Well you HAVE to. I'm not leaving until you down this soup."

Liam started whining and childishly waving his arms around, with a rather adorable pout on his face, and you couldn't help but smile. Other than seeing Liam horrified at an everyday metal object, you really did want to see him feel better.

"Your problem is the spoon right? How about I pour the soup in a cup and give it you. You can drink it like tea!" Liam thought about for a while, before agreeing.

It took a while but the job was done and your boyfriend was cuddled up to your side, with the rest of the movie playing. He'd fallen asleep shortly after drinking the soup but you didn't realise, and you never did as you continued watching the movie.
