The first week was smooth, Liam read and watch TV, walk around his room
He would sit on the couch by the window and look out, nobody but doctors and nurses were allowed in the chilling cold room
But when the second week started, Liam just crawled into himself on the bed
Colour seemed to be drained off of his face, and he couldn't even raise his hand to read
Doctors started to get worried, because though Liam was doing nothing, his heart rate was always high
~~~~~
Zayn was typing while simultaneously reading through a document when the door to his office opened
He quickly looked up and smiled when he saw Louis, Niall and his dad
"Prepare for trouble" his father said walking out and closing the door
"AND MAKE IT DOUBLE" Zayn yelled back
His father laughed and shook his head, Louis and Niall gave Zayn confused looks
He shook his head "We've been watching some old TV shows and movies"
They both nodded then Niall cleared his throat "Do you have anything important to do today?"
Louis blinked then turned to him "Are you serious? Are you ACTUALLY being serious?"
Niall frowned "I had to ask!!"
"No you didn't!!"
"What if he had something important?!"
"Well fuck it!!" Louis turned to Zayn "Do you want to see Liam?"
~~~~~
Liam sighed and stretched his leg before he covered himself tighter
Today, the nurses took away his prosthetics, Liam hated every second he didn't have them ok, but with the surgery in 3 days and the room he's in getting colder, they thought it was for the best
The door to his room opened and he looked up towards it and frowned
Though he was covered from head to toe, Liam could recognise him anytime
He smiled weakly "Are you ok?"
Liam didn't say anything, he just replied with a slow head shake no
~~~~~
Zayn was about to run in when a nurse stopped him, he turned to her and frowned
"I know we said we'd let people see him today, but one person a time"
Zayn frowned, he looked at Liam's parents who just rushed onto the floor, then at Louis and Niall before he looked at the nurse
"Who's in there with him?"
~~~~~
Luca's cold hand on Liam's already cold cheek made Liam let out a breath
Luca shook his head "What are they doing to my, love? What did they do already?"
Liam shrugged "It's the preparation, Luca" Liam mumbled
"But why is the room this cold?"
Liam sighed "This room is attached to the OR I'll be going into-" Liam nodded towards a closed door "In order to get me reading for them to freeze my body then leave me with... Nothing for a few hours"
"Is that even safe?" Luca said and Liam shook his head
"No, it's not... not a single bit of this is safe, but I've been your experiment for 4 years so I might as well agree to the professionals taking that slot now"
Luca cringed "Liam, I'm really-"
"Leave Luca." Liam said, forcing Luca's hand away
Luca didn't seem like he wanted to leave, but after a minute, he did.
Liam closed his eyes and sighed when the door opened again
"I'm fine, it's just that he's-" Liam looked up and stopped
Zayn smiled "Oh my love... How I've missed you"
Liam blinked "You idiot... You'll freeze and contaminate the room"
Zayn chuckled, he wasn't wearing anything like he should be, he looked like he just left work and came right over
Liam forced himself up on his knee then stretched his arm
Zayn made his way towards Liam and picked him up
Liam knew the nurses would scold him, they'll have to go through the whole decontamination process all over again
But he didn't care, he was here... Zayn was here
He raised his hand and brushed his finger on Zayn's cheek, Zayn's nose and over Zayn's eyes
Zayn kissed Liam's temple and squeezed him tightly
Liam closed his eyes and took a deep breath, though Zayn didn't have any perfume on, the scent of his body wash was still there
"Since when do you not wear perfume?" Liam whispered
Zayn sat on the chair and sat Liam down on his lap, he kissed Liam's nose, cheeks, necks and Liam's exposed shoulder
"I didn't have anyone I wanted to seduce" He said then winked
Liam laughed and cuddled up on Zayn's chest, he looked at Zayn's prosthetic fingers that intertwined with his own non-prosthetic ones
Liam then came to a realisation that he didn't care about if he had them on or not when Zayn's around
Because it's just Zayn, his Zayn
~~~~~
Zayn eventually forced himself to leave, he walked out of the room and nurses immediately scolded him
They rushed inside and he heard Liam's quiet giggled and smiled
Liam's mum walked towards him "How is he?"
Zayn smiled "His spirits were low, but I think he'll be just fine. Liam's the strongest person I've ever known"
Zayn looked up and his smile fell "I'm going to gut you if you ever go near him again"
Luca cringed "I got worried, ok. I heard he was-"
"No, Luca" Zayn walked towards him "The only reason I didn't say shit earlier because my need to see him was more than my care about your existence-" he gritted his teeth "But I know how to kill, and I know how to hide"
Niall jumped up and stood between them "No, no no no. No, dick weed isn't worth the jail. Sunshine, rainbows- Liam!! Think of Liam" he looked at Louis
"Help?!"
Louis blinked then stood up, he walked towards Zayn and said
"I have bail money, go crazy"
"NO!!"
