It was 9 am when the door to Liam’s room burst open.
"Liam wa- Oh." It was Ruth, Liam’s older sister who immediately stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw her little brother wasn’t alone.
"Shh, Nicola, come here! You need to see this." she whispered, waving for her sister to come nearer before she peeked her head back inside Liam’s room.
There were two boys lying in bed, one was her brother but the other one was not familiar. She’d never seen him before. He laid on his back, hands folded behind his head and had long eyelashes, black hair and dark skin in comparison to Liam who was splayed awkwardly all over his bed, his head resting on the other teen’s stomach, his hand laying on the stranger’s chest. Both boys were still asleep, snoringquietly.
An adorable sight.
"Oh, yeah. That’s his boyfriend." Nicola said dryly, looking over her sister’s shoulder.
"What? No way." she shrieked, turning to face her sister who shrugged: “No, really. He came home last night, carrying him to bed and I was like: Liam who’s this? and he just went: My boyfriend."
"He was probably drunk. Bet he didn’t know what he was saying…" Ruth stated but Nicola shook her head: “I don’t think so. The way he put him to bed was so cute, should have seen him. He laid him carefully down, took off his shoes and wrapped him up in a blanket, made sure he was warm and stuff. It was so adorable. Oh, and his name is Zayn."
"Zayn?"
"Yeah. He never mentioned him before but I don’t know. I think our little brother was serious when he said he was his boyfriend."
"Oh my god. That’s so cute. What else did Liam say?"
"Not much. Told me to let him get some sleep before I’m allowed to ask him about it."
"That’s Liam how we know him." Ruth stated chuckling.

Zayn was half awake, fighting with himself wether he should wake up or try to get back to sleep when the door opened and a girl walked in, making him wince inwardly.
Shit. It must be Liam’s sister he thought but kept his eyes closed, pretending he hadn’t heard or seen anything when in reality he actually did hear her call for someone and did hear them whisper and giggle.
They soon closed the door and left, though.
That was when he decided to wake Liam who slept peacefully, his head resting on his stomach.
"Liam." he whispered, nudging the jock’s bare shoulders.
"Liam." he repeated a bit louder when the boy showed no reaction: “Li, come on. Wake up."
"Mhh… what is it?" Liam groaned sleepy, turning his head to the other side to glance up at Zayn.
"There was someone."
"Huh?" the brown haired boy asked again, frowning when he realized Zayn was already awake: “Why are you even awake?" he asked, knowing the pretty boy would never wake up before noon.
"There was someone." he repeated: “And I need to pee. Like, urgently. And you lying on my stomach doesn’t help at all." Zayn added.
"Oh. Sorry." Liam said, his voice raspy, and moved to lie next to the pretty boy, grabbing his hand and holding it in his own over his chest.
They stayed like that for a while before Liam’s mind registered what Zayn had just said and turned to look at him: “What do you mean there was someone?"
"I don’t know. There were two girls, whispering and giggling. One was pointing at us." Zayn said, worry in his voice which Liam immediately picked up on.
