No matter what Zayn was feeling, he'll never admit that he actually enjoyed seeing his brother get married

But though he was happy for Louis, his eyes seemed to constantly drift to Liam.

Demeter asked that space to be kept between them, and there constantly was.

Hestia, though still angry at Zayn, stood by his side while he watched Liam dance with Apollo

She looked up at him and frowned "Will you ever actually talk to him again?"

"He's leaving. I'm leaving. It's for the best"

She frowned "Is it? Did you mean it when you said you regretted everything that happened between the both of you?"

Zayn watched Liam silently, His back was towards Zayn and Apollo seemed to say something that made him tense

He immediately pulled away and shook his head, Apollo tried to get pull him back but Liam stepped further away before he turned and walked away

Zayn watched him walk inside before he shook his head "No" he simply said then finished whatever of the forgotten drink he had in his hand then ran in after Liam

~~~~~

Liam had his head in his hands as he walked when he his wrist got grabbed, he wanted to tell Apollo that he needed a breather but when the fingers went down gripped his hips and pulled him back

He knew it wasn't Apollo, just from the way those hands were on him

"Are you ok?" He whispered into Liam's ear

Liam stayed quiet, he then slightly turned to the mirror that was to his left... He watched Zayn hold him, he didn't say anything but pulled away when Zayn's arm nearly circled his waist; keeping his back to Zayn

"It shouldn't matter to you... it was all fake, remember?" he said then continued to walk

Zayn followed him "Liam just answer the question"

"You should go back outside, it's improper for you to miss your brothers important day"

"Liam, answer the fucking question"

"Hm. No"

Zayn gritted his teeth then grabbed Liam by his wrist and pinned him against a wall, one of his hands went to Liam's back and the other against the back of Liam's head

And he forced Liam to look at him

And for the first time in a month, Zayn felt like he could breath again when he looked into those beautiful eyes

"Answer my question"

Liam looked at him as Zayn's hand slowly slipped from the back of his head to the wall beside him while the other rubbed up and down Liam's back

"Why does it matter? Aren't you worried I'll lie like I lied about everything else?"

"Liam."

Liam rolled his eyes before he put a hand on Zayn's chest "Yes, your highness, I'm fine, I'm great, I'm fantastic even, and I'm about fucking ready to get into bed with Apollo and erase you from my memories for good"

~~~~~

Edward took a deep breath "I going to tell you something, and I need you to tell Zayn"

Louis frowned and looked at him "What did who do now?"

Edward smiled and kissed Louis' cheek "Just some craziness..."

Louis chuckled and nodded "What is it that you need me to tell my brother?"
