Liam's heart weighed heavy with a decision that had been gnawing at him. He knew he couldn't keep stringing Damon along, knowing that Gallagher held the key to his deepest affections. The time had come for honesty, painful though it may be.

Sitting across from Damon, Liam took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and gratitude. "Damon, there's something I need to tell ye. It's not easy for me, but I owe ye the truth."

Damon's gaze met Liam's, a flicker of understanding glimmering in his eyes. "I've had me suspicions, Liam. It's clear that Gallagher still holds a special place in yer heart. I can't deny the connection between the two of ye."

Liam's voice cracked with emotion as he continued, the weight of his words hanging heavy in the air. "I love ye, Damon, but not in the same way I love Gallagher. He's me first love, and although we've had our share of ups and downs, he's the one who still holds me heart."

Damon's expression softened, a mixture of sadness and acceptance. "I've seen the way ye look at him, Liam. It's a love that runs deep, and I can't compete with that. But know that I cherish the time we've spent together, and I'll always be grateful for the love we shared."

Tears welled up in Liam's eyes as he reached out, gently touching Damon's cheek. "I don't want to lose ye, Damon. I still want ye in me life, as a friend, someone I can turn to. Ye've brought me joy and comfort, and I don't want that to end."

Damon offered a bittersweet smile, his voice filled with a tender understanding. "I'll always be here for ye, Liam. As a friend, someone ye can lean on. But ye need to follow yer heart, even if it leads ye back to Gallagher. We all deserve to be with the one who truly completes us."

In that moment, with hearts heavy and love lingering in the air, Liam and Damon shared one final kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of both endings and beginnings, a bittersweet farewell to what might have been. They held each other, their embrace filled with a deep sense of gratitude and a promise to stay connected.

As they pulled apart, tears glistening in their eyes, Liam whispered, "Thank ye, Damon. For everything."

Damon nodded, his voice choked with emotion. "Thank ye too, Liam. For showing me a love that was real, if only for a while."

With heavy hearts but a renewed sense of purpose, Liam and Damon made their way back into each other's lives, this time as friends bound by a shared journey and the memories of a love that would forever leave its mark.

And as they embarked on separate paths, Liam carried the weight of his decision, knowing that the road ahead with Gallagher wouldn't be without challenges. But he also held onto the belief that true love was worth fighting for, even if it meant facing the complexities of their past.

With a mixture of hope and trepidation, Liam set forth, ready to embrace the love he had chosen, knowing that in Gallagher's arms, he would find the solace and passion he had yearned for all along.
