They never got to the photo of Zayn Malik the first, or more of the Malik history

As in that moment, they didn't care about history, they just wanted to get out of the museum and to Liam's apartment

As soon as the door opened, Liam pulled Zayn inside

Zayn looked around before Liam grabbed his face and Zayn rolled his eyes back while letting out a breath

"That good?"

Zayn shook his head "Never felt better" He picked Liam up and Liam wrapped his legs around Zayn's waist

"Devine 2 weeks ago, pretty tonight... What more will you call me?"

Zayn chuckled "I'm calling you so  many things in my head... If you heard you'd probably laugh"

Liam shook his head rubbing his hand on Zayn's cheek "I won't"

~~~~~

"Liam- LIAM WAIT!!"

Liam stopped and turned to Luca "I really don't have anything to say to you, Luca"

"I'm sorry. I really am"

Liam rolled his eyes as he got into his car "It doesn't fucking matter"

Jessie looked at Liam from behind Luca "It's our family ring..."

Alana nodded "Yeah!! You shouldn't get to keep it if you aren't joining our family!!"

Luca turned to them "Stop talking" He turned to Liam "Listen-"

"No... No she's right" Liam looked at Luca "You should get to keep it... And honestly I won't no memory of ever having it"

Liam pressed a button that dropped his prosthetic from its place

He threw it out the window and towards Luca's car, crashing the windshield

Liam looked at Luca "Move or I'll run you over. Then maybe  you'll need a prosthetic"

Zayn's eyes widened "How did you drive?"

Liam shrugged running his fingers through Zayn's hair "I had an extra in my car... I put it into place while my car was on temporary self drive" He frowned "Do you think it was too much?"

Zayn shook his head "He got what he deserved"

Liam traced Zayn's cheek "You really think so?"

Zayn leaned against Liam's hand "Yeah..."

Zayn's phone rang and he sighed as he sat up and picked it up

"Dad?"

~~~~~

"Where were you?!"

Zayn let out a breath "Mum invited people over, I went to stay with someone"

His father frowned "Where?"

Zayn shrugged "Liam..."

His father stopped, opened and closed his mouth then slowly nodded "Oh..."

Zayn smiled "You don't seem worried anymore?"

His father shrugged weakly "He's... He's trustworthy. Kind as well"

Zayn nodded "He is..." He looked at his hands "I hope I don't... Ruin everything"

"Why would you ruin everything?"

Zayn shrugged "I dunno... I believe I will"

~~~~~

Liam stepped out of his building and stopped when he saw Luca

"Liam... Fuck, I've been-"

"Sending gifts and trying to call but your calls aren't going through... For damn good reason, you're blocked, and I don't want shit from you. Give it all to your kid"

"Please, let's just talk"

"About what Luca?"

"Can we-"

"Heyyyy sunshine"

Liam looked at Zayn, Louis and Niall. Louis jogged towards Liam and threw an arm over his shoulder

"How's my favourite little puppy eyed sunshine?" He said squishing Liam's cheeks

Niall went to Louis' side and pulled them both into a hug "We got you food!!"

Zayn went to Liam's side and wrapped an arm around his waist "Hi..."

Liam looked at him then looked away "Hi..."

Luca looked between the 4 of them then at Liam "Can we?"

Liam met his eyes "No, I'm going out with my friends"

~~~~~

Liam's hands on Zayn's face was something, but Liam's hands in Zayn's hair was something completely different

They were at a park, all 4 of them sitting together when Zayn yawned

Liam looked at him and Zayn gave him a tired smile back, he saw a hint of hesitation before he (Liam) patted his lap

Zayn didn't hesitate to lay his head on Liam's lap, Liam shook his head and ran his fingers through Zayn's hair

Zayn let out a breath with his eyes closed but didn't say anything

"So... Long night last night?"

"Yeah" "Mhmm" they both answered and Liam's hand stilled in Zayn's hair

Zayn opened his eyes and looked at Louis "Uh... Which one of us were you asking?"

Louis blinked then smiled and turned to Niall "Niall, which one of them was I asking?"

Niall shrugged with a big smile  "Oh, I really don't know, but you got your answer either way"

~~~~~

They were spooning.... And their fingers were intertwined and Liam just looked at their hands, he smiled weakly feeling Zayn's nose against his shoulder

"How are you... Ok with this?"

Zayn buried his face into Liam's neck "Ok with what?" he breathed out

Liam stayed quiet then sighed "Luca always made me take them off..."

Zayn frowned "What?"

Liam crawled into himself "Luca didn't like my prosthetics touching him... Though I have a lot of them, he always made me take my arm and leg off..."

Zayn sat up and Liam turned to lay on his back "What? Why would he do that?"

Liam frowned "I kinda get it, He didn't want parts of me... that weren't actually me laying on his bed"

Zayn blinked "How did you agree to marry him?"

Liam looked at the ceiling and shrugged "I didn't think anyone would ever want me, Zayn... I know what people think of me and it's not great"

Zayn pulled Liam up, Liam furrowed his brows as Zayn sat him down on his lap

Zayn took Liam's hand and intertwined their fingers

"You're... Amazing" Liam looked at Zayn's face even if Zayn was looking at their hands

"You always will be, to me. I haven't known you for a long time but I can't imagine not knowing you"

Liam frowned "Isn't that... Bad?"

Zayn shook his head, he let Liam's hand go and wrapped his arms around Liam's waist

"I don't know if this needs explaining..." He smiled "I have a prosthetic too, you never treated me different or weirdly"

Liam's hands shook as he put both of them on Zayn's chest "I'm more prosthetics than I am a person..."

Zayn shook his head "It doesn't matter"

Liam shook his head "It does, trust me, if I tell you more. It will..."
