A/N: Lol the picture is such this book

Zayn
Liam and I went to the hotel straight after the students went to their exchange students. We're both tired from the long bus ride. "I swear to god, I'm never gonna sit that long in a bus again" I say when we're walking to our room. "We still need to go back to London remember? Or do you want to stay in Austria for the rest of your life?" I groan. "Fuck, that's true." The other two teachers walk a few metres behind us, but I actually don't care about them.

When Liam opens the door of our room we're both a bit surprised. "O-one dubbel bed..." Liam stutters, I decide to act normal again. "What's the matter? We always slept in one bed during sleepovers right?" Liam nods slow. "Yeah... Yeah that's true..." I chuckle. "So?" "You know never mind, let's just sleep." I shake my head with a smile.  When we're both in bed I'm feeling really tired. "You really are tired aren't you?" Liam asks, I nod. "Yeah." Liam smiles soft. "We'll go to sleep then" I smile thankful at him. "Thanks" I mumble, Liam smiles. "No problem."

I close my eyes, after a few minutes I hear Liam mumble something, I want to open my eyes but then I notice it goes about me, he's talking to me because he thinks I'm asleep. I can't really understand what he's mumbling, but sometimes I hear a word. "I love you" I hear then. And I was lying if I said that it did nothing to me. It makes my feel kinda fuzzy and warm. I decide to keep my eyes closed, 'cause Liam will probably have a heart attack if I open my eyes now. And after a few minutes I fall asleep.

It's three days later, today's the last day of the exchange, we're gonna ski, pretty fun I guess? I don't really know, but I really liked skiing when I was a teenager, so it'll be okay. "Ready?" Liam asks, he walks inside the bathroom where I'm doing my hair. "Almost" I say, trying to get my hair in model. "It's fine like this Z" Liam says laughing. "No it's not!" I say frustrated. "Hey, Z, c'mon, it is good like this, I promise" he says. I sight. "Fine then, but if students are gonna laugh at me it's your fault" I say, pointing to his chest. He chuckles. "Okay."

We're going with the bus to the ski area. "C'mon Z, we really need to try the highest ski slope!" Liam says, I shrug. "Dunno, it's pretty high" I say doubting. "Ah c'mon, I'll hold your hand" he says teasing. I laugh. "Fine then." Liam blushes a bit of the answer, but laughs. "Yes!"

We let the students do their things and after we both practiced a bit, Liam and I get in the glass ski lift to the highest slope. It's fine the first minute, but then it's getting pretty high. "Are you scared?" Liam asks, I shake my head, but Liam doesn't seem to believe me. "Zayn..." "Okay I'm a bit scared" I say, trying to sound calm but my voice sounds really anxious and a bit high pitched. I can't push a nervous laugh away. I see the doubt in Liam's eyes, but then his hand goes to mine and his fingers intertwine with mine. "Is erm... this okay?" He asks. I'm to anxious to even think about it, so I take a deep breath and nod. He holds my hand a bit better and squeezes it soft. "It's okay, we're almost there, and then it'll be beautiful" Liam says comforting.

When we're on the top we get out the lift and Liam lets my hand go. "Thanks" I say, I take a deep breath. "You're welcome" Liam says with a smile. We walk to the start of the slope. "Ready?" Liam asks, I nod. "Ready!" "Okay let's go then!" And there he goes. Liam skis down the hill like it's nothing, like he does this everyday. I shake my head with a smile and go after him.

"Whooo!" I hear Liam yell from enjoyment, I laugh so hard that I almost fall over. When I'm down again Liam just put his ski's off. "You did it, you did it, you did it!" He celebrates, he hugs me. "I'm so proud of you!" I feel I start to blush a bit, something that doesn't happen fast. He lets me go and sees the red colour on my face, Liam blushes a bit too. "I- Erm..." "Mr. Payne!" Liam looks behind him and sees two girls from his class are calling his name, Liam gives me a apologising look and walks towards them. God...

.

After a horrible night in the bus we're finally home again. There's one thing I know for sure, or actually two things. One: I'm never, but never, gonna go on a exchange where we have to sit 5+ hours in the bus again. And two: Liam definitely has a crush on me, and I have a crush on him. With a sight I pull the door of my apartment close. "Lou?" There's no reaction. I walk into the living room. "Louis?" There's a note on the dinner table.

Hi mate

I smile, this is really sweet from Louis. I open the fridge and see a some sushi on a plate. I smile. Since when does he do this sort of things? I grab the plate and a drink and sit down on the couch, I grab my phone and sent Louis a text.
