Theo P.O.V. 

Liam and I came across six doors, three of which lead to bedrooms, two to bathrooms and one to a large room with a piano.

I still can't believe I'm here with Liam.

"I'll take this one." Liam shouts from inside the first room he entered.

I follow him and observe the room, it has a large double bed in the center and a shaggy beige carpet. The wall is covered with sage green wallpaper and the darkness of the night enters through the long beige curtains with a pretty pattern.

I leave the room and look at the other two, one of them has pink wallpaper and the other blue. Blue seems more welcoming to me.

"I'll take this one." I throw my suitcase on the floor and my backpack on the bed.

I open the suitcase and take out one of the pajamas when Liam enters the room. I watch him rummage through my suitcase and I look at him with raised eyebrows.

"What are you doing?" I ask as I change my clothes.

"I forgot my pajamas." He says and I see him take my other pajamas out of the suitcase.

"How come you forgot your pajamas and yet your bag is bigger than mine?"

"It's not full, I left empty space to fill with the things I'm going to buy here."

His words make me laugh.

"You'll wish you'd thought like me."

"It's not like I have the money to buy much." I vent, throwing myself onto the bed, it's comfortable, but I prefer my bed at Liam's house.

"It doesn't matter, I'll buy you anything you want."

With that said, Liam leaves the room to change leaving me with my mouth open.

I use the time to go to the bathroom and wash my face and teeth. I hear steps behind me and turn around in time to see Liam leave the room. My pajamas that are extremely loose on his body. He carries his toothbrush and toothpaste.

Cute.

"You still say you're almost as tall as me." I mock.

"The only difference is that I'm too thin." His face contorts in discomfort and I look at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" I watch him as he brushes his teeth. "You're not too thin."

Then I remember the day we danced in the rain and how he seemed extremely uncomfortable taking off his clothes next to me, and how he just left to change clothes in his room even though we had already done it thousands of times in each other's presence. Is it possible that Liam feels insecure about his body? My Liam? The most beautiful human being on this planet?

"You're perfect."

I stand behind him and see his body tremble slightly. I look at his face through the mirror and our eyes meet.

It's happening again. Stupid butterflies.

If it continues like this, he will notice the blush on my cheeks and the unsteady beat of my heart.

I put my arms around his waist.

"Theo...what..AHHHHH." I lift him off the floor quite easily and leave the bathroom. "What are you doing?"
