Zayn left to go to the bathroom but Liam stayed in his booth with a -very- drunk Niall
Liam looked out the window before he frowned and cleared his throat before he turned to Niall
"Oh my god, Niall" Niall looked at him with a pout, Liam pointed at Louis "Your boyfriend is making out with someone else"
Niall furrowed his brows and turned towards Louis, he blinked before his eyes widened
"OH YOU FUCKER" Niall got up and walked towards Louis
Liam took it as his chance and slipped out, as he walked towards the side he tightened his cardigan around him like it was a safety net
"Luca"
Luca leaned against his car and smiled "Hiya love"
Liam frowned "What are you doing here?"
Luca motioned towards the diner Liam just came out of "It's basically a reunion. I got the text too..."
Liam nodded, Luca pushed himself off of his car and walked towards Liam
He stopped when they were just 5 feet away
"How are you? You just got surgery and you should be resting"
Liam nodded "I'm well rested. I'm relaxed"
Luca raised an eyebrow "With all those people"
Liam nodded "Yeah, a lot of them are actually nice"
Luca hummed "And Zayn is fine with it"
Liam gave him an unimpressed look "Zayn doesn't control who I hang out with."
"Sure he doesn't" Luca mumbled, Liam rolled his eyes and shook his head
"What do you want Luca, really? If you wanted to come in you could've"
Luca shrugged "Maybe I wanted to see you" He said walking the rest of the way to stand directly in front of Liam
One of his hands went to Liam's chest "I wanted to ask-"
Liam stopped him by slapping Luca's hand away "Fuck off. You have one, you can keep it"
Luca glared at him "What? Will you give this one to Zayn?!"
"Maybe!!"
It was quiet between them, Luca took a deep breath
"Does he really make you that happy? That you're willing to give him a heart you just got if he asked for it?"
Liam shook his head "That's the difference between him and you... He'll NEVER ask for it."
"Do you love him?" Luca said, Liam's eyes widened "Do you love him like you loved me?"
"No" Liam said shaking his head "I love him more than I could've ever loved you"
Luca blinked "Is there anything I can do to make you forgive me?"
Liam shook his head "No"
"Liam-"
"Either go inside or leave, Luca. I have nothing to say to you anymore"
Luca clenched his jaw, but he then turned around and stomped away
Liam watched him drive off, once his car was out of view, Liam put a hand to his chest and let out a breath
"Liam"
Liam froze then quickly turned towards Zayn "How long have you been standing there?"
Zayn shrugged and walked towards Liam "A bit..."
They both stayed quiet then Zayn cleared his throat "Did you mean it?"
Liam looked at Zayn "Did I mean what?"
Zayn took a shaky breath "Did you mean it when you said you love me?"
Liam looked into Zayn's eyes, as he slowly nodded "Yeah, I meant it"
Zayn smiled and cupped the back of Liam's neck "I love you too"
Liam hesitated "You do?"
Zayn nodded "Yeah, for 6 almost 7 years"
Liam's eyes widened "But, how?"
Zayn laughed "How?"
Liam rubbed Zayn's chest "How did you love me for that long?"
Zayn kissed Liam's forehead then his temple "Do you not know the power that you have in those hands of yours, jaan?"
Liam looked at his hands before Zayn tilted his face up
"You have the power to make my day on the tips of those fingers of yours. A touch from you could set me on fire and extinguish all the pain I could ever be in"
Liam raised both of his shaky hands to Zayn's face and cupped Zayn's cheeks, Zayn closed his eyes, and leaned into one of Liam's hands
"Say it" Liam whispered
Zayn kissed Liam's hands "I love you, Liam. The world could be burning around us but if you told me to spend my last moments, here, with you, like this. I'd agree, because there's nothing more I would want than spend my last moment looking into those beautiful eyes of yours"
Liam stood on his toes and Zayn wrapped his arms around Liam's waist
"I'm not a poet like you are, babe... But I love you too" He whispered
Zayn smiled "I don't need you to be a poet... I want you to be mine"
Liam blushed, but he was smiling "I've been yours for longer than you think, baby"
Zayn rested their foreheads together "Oh my love..." He whispered
He took one of Liam's hands and put them on his chest, Liam's hand curled as he quickly looked into Zayn's eyes
"It's so... Fast, is that safe?" Liam whispered
Zayn smiled "It's you Jaan..." He kissed Liam's head and sighed
"It's just you, and you're always safe"
