🌻74🌻

liam stirs in his sleep, exhaling sleepily. he's so tired, but something woke him. glancing over at the clock, he can see that it's only about one in the morning. he doesn't know what it was, maybe the door shutting and movement. sitting up, liam looks around the room. zayn is still next to him sleeping deeply, snoring softly. he sighs lightly, pulling the cover off and hanging his legs off the bed. he gets up and walks towards the door, however he accidentally kicks something.

liam looks down, rubbing at his eyes. once his eyes finally adjust to the darkness in the room, he can see it's a card and a small gift laying knocked over from him having kicked it. liam crouches down and grabs it with a frown. he doesn't remember that being there when he went to bed. someone must've just put it there, possibly what had woken him up. he opens up the card, instantly recognizing the neat handwriting. it was harry's.

happy birthday, papa.

it didn't say much other then that, but just the thought that harry had even cared, was enough. liam smiles, closing the card and looking at the gift that was small enough to fit in his palm. he opens up the box, and sees there's a handmade bracelet inside, with a note. liam takes out the bracelet, swelling up with adoration. it was too cute. he slips it on, just because, and then looks down at the note, eyes scanning over it. although his heart falters slightly at the words.

please don't ever forget me.

liam stares at it with ceases forming between his eyebrows, trying to figure out how to take it. and honestly, it didn't really sit well in his stomach. why would harry say that? what did that mean? liam shakes his head, then decides to go check on him. with the way things have been, liam wanted to make sure he was okay. although, he and zayn made it their job to step back and give the teen some space to let him sort through his own feelings, he still just.. couldn't help it. it was hard.

and his distance last night made liam more worried, along with this vague note. he just had to make sure that he was okay, no matter what time it was. the grogginess from moments before had completely diminished. liam quietly leaves the room, hoping not to wake up zayn and makes his way towards harry's room. lightly, he knocks on the door. there is no answer, spiking his concern further. liam carefully opens the door, peeking inside.

much to liam's relief, he's just in time to see harry rolling over and sitting up in his bed. the teen stares at him silently as liam fully comes into the room and shut the door. he walks over to the bed, clicking on the lamp to illuminate the room a little. the light spilling into the room, makes them both squint slightly but liam recovers quickly, sitting on the edge of the bed close to the teen.

"didn't mean to wake you... i was trying to be as quiet as possible.." harry mumbles quietly before liam could even get a word out. he's staring down at his lap as he fidgets with his fingers, almost nervously. liam shakes his head.

"no, it's okay love. you can wake me any time of the night. i just wanted to see if you were.. okay?" liam asked.

"why wouldn't i be?" harry says plainly.

"maybe because you haven't been lately?" liam tells him. harry lifts his head briefly, before shrugging with a sigh. liam scoots closer. "but i was more concerned about the note you put in your gift."

"what about it?" harry's eyebrow furrows slightly not really knowing could be wrong with it. sure, he didn't put as much effort into as he usually does, but he made it special. or at least he thought so anyway. it was the least he could do for not being there with everyone to celebrate liam's birthday.
