Zayn didn't think, he ran. He ran towards Liam and Luca and yanked Luca away

Liam fell and immediately took a deep breath, his eyes closed as he tried to regulate his breathing

He opened his eyes and they widened seeing Zayn punching Luca

"ZAYN!!"

Liam jumped up and pulled him off, Zayn got up and turned to Liam

"Are you ok?"

Liam nodded then cringed "Can we just... Can we just leave?"

Zayn looked at Liam's neck then turned to glare at Luca "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Luca glared at Liam "You never answered my question."

Liam slowly shook his head "I never told anyone anything."

Luca stood up and wiped the blood under his nose, and stepped closer "Then how did people find out, Liam?"

Zayn stood between then "Step back"

Luca looked at Liam "Answer my question"

Liam shrugged "I don't know Luca..."

Luca glared at him and Zayn furrowed his brows; Luca's were a darker shade of blue...

"What did you do to your eyes?"

Luca looked at Zayn "What?"

"Your eyes are a different... They were brighter I'm sure of it"

Luca rolled his eyes "Do you spend a lot of time looking into my eyes?"

Zayn blinked "Well, you always use them to glare at me and broke my previous prosthetic while using them to look at me"

Liam grabbed Zayn's arms "Let's go... Please"

Zayn looked at Liam then at Luca "Why are your eyes a different colour?"

Luca glared at him "Why is it any of your business?"

"Because, the fabrication of your identity could lead you to getting your arse thrown in jail." Zayn pointed in the direction of a camera "I'll have my proof, and other than the fact that my father is on the questioning council, if I report someone, they have to take my word seriously"

Luca blinked and clenched his jaw and Zayn raised an eyebrow then shrugged "Ok then..." He looked at Liam "Let's go"

Liam slowly nodded and they walked together

"Dissociative identity disorder." They stopped "My mother told me to not note it down before taking my test"

Zayn looked at at Luca from over his shoulder, He nodded then looked ahead

"Thank you"

~~~~~

"My fucking god that guy is stupid"

Liam looked at Zayn's dad then at Zayn who was nodding.

They didn't tell him everything... Just that a misunderstanding happened and Luca believed that Liam was spreading some 'company' information about him

Company information up my fucking arse, fucker should have consequences

Liam cleared his throat to stop himself from laughing

Zayn winked at him and continued to drink his water

Zayn's father looked at Liam "You can get him charged"

"I know"

"Do you want to?"

Liam looked at his hands "No... I'm going to Thailand in a few weeks, starting this would make me stay and I don't have time"

Zayn froze "Wait" He looked at Liam who looked at him, and his next question was barely over a whisper

"You're leaving?"

~~~~~

"I'm sorry... To let you know that way"

Zayn shook his head "No, it's ok"

Liam frowned "Are you sure?"

Zayn looked at him and smiled "It's for your health, of course I'm sure" He nudged Liam "Just promise you'll come back to me"

Liam nodded and smiled "I promise"

Zayn pulled him closer and kissed Liam's forehead, Liam smiled bigger with his eyes closed

They were quiet for a few moments before Liam whispered his name and Zayn hummed in response

"Do you really have to report him?"

Zayn chuckled "No, I lied"

Liam laughed.

Zayn loves the sound

~~~~~

"As sad as I am, I'm glad you're going to get treatment"

"Yeah, we'll miss you loads but as long as our Liam comes back, I don't mind"

Liam nodded "Thank you..."

Zayn looked at Liam "Are you ok?"

Liam looked at him "It's a big change..."

Niall took his hand "You're scared." Liam shrugged in response

Louis leaned ahead "How long will you be gone?"

Liam cleared his throat "Well, maybe 2 years?"

"TWO YEARS?!"

Liam nodded "First, they'll take the mechanic one out, I'll be given 6 to 12 months to slowly get used to being without it while being monitored just in case something goes wrong, then I'll start the necessary medication to get myself ready for the new one, then the surgery then the recovery treatment then waiting the good enough time to get on a plane"

The other 3 blinked and nodded "We'll visit"

Liam frowned "You don't have to"

Louis kicked Liam's leg under the table but gasped, cringed and pulled his legs closer and curses under his breath

"You hit the prosthetic, didn't you?" Niall said with an unimpressed look

Louis glared at him "Shut up or I'll shove my probably broken toes up your-"

"Hello gentlemen, what would you like to order?"

~~~~~

"Keep my place clean... I don't like dust"

"I'll make sure it'll be as spotless as you leave it"

They were laying on Zayn's bed, cuddled up, Liam was looking at Zayn's chest while Zayn looked at Liam's eyes

"Liam"

Liam looked up and nodded "I-I'll miss you, a lot. It'll be weird to go from everyday to barely seeing you"

Liam smiles "I'll miss you too, Zayn"

Zayn doesn't think it, he doesn't think his final thoughts until Liam is asleep, he doesn't say them.

He refuses to even think of it, he thinks of funnier things, things that make Liam giggle in the most adorable way then blush

The when Liam's breathing is regulated and Zayn's sure he's asleep; Zayn thinks

Zayn thinks about how he couldn't think about it while Liam is awake because Liam will leave

All the days they spent together, the hours they spent studying, the laughs and the hugs, their quiet moments together

Zayn took a deep breath and brushed his nose against Liam's hair

I'll miss you, I wish you weren't leaving, it scares me but my god Liam

I love you
