8. Coronado Beach, San Diego, CA

"Leeyum!" Zayn squeaked as Liam splashing the water towards him. "Stop, stop, stop, I don't like it.." He tried to stop his husband but mumbling the last part of his sentence when he noticed Liam was laughing his ass off.

"Come on, Zayn! Get in here, you'll like this!"

Zayn shook his head, he has made a promise to himself that he'd just build a sand castle if they were on a beach, meaning for the rest of the day. Which what he was doing now. He got up from the spot he was sitting since they got in there, then walked off searching for shells to complete his sand castle.

He bent over to pick some shells then jumped when someone wrapped their arms around him. Liam was literally dragging him out of the land to the bowl with massive volume of water right in front of them. "No! Liam, don't!" Zayn struggled to get himself free from his lover's arms. "Relax, Zayn. I won't let go of you."

Liam's voice was almost sound like a whisper, an inhuman whisper, quiet but clear also it was like mixed with the sound of the wind, flowing right into his ears. His feature was almost seem blurry to Zayn for one second.. But Zayn shook his head and that's when he realized he was already in the water. All Zayn wanted to do was scream but Liam cut him off, "see? I told you water doesn't bite." He patted Zayn's side to remind him that he's got his hands all around him so he wouldn't fall. "But water drown you in." Zayn gripped both of Liam's hands that were rested on his hips.

"They won't if you don't let them."

Zayn closed his eyes as Liam kissing his neck softly. He's got all butterflies deep in his stomach and he couldn't escape the moment. He hated to be in the water but he loved the feeling of Liam towered over him and protected him like he didn't want the water to harm the tinier lad.

"Are you ready to swim now?" Zayn opened his eyes right when Liam stopped the kisses. "Never." He answered quickly. His man raised his eyebrows, "But I've been planning it all, I want to teach you again how to swim. You did it great in the past." Zayn groaned, but finally nodded his head to Liam because he didn't have other option.

And that was all happening. Liam had been teaching Zayn how to swim for hours now and Zayn finally did. He cheered when his body finally could move right how it was supposed to be in the water.

Liam lifted him off the water and put him on his hips, kissing his face for multiple times. Zayn giggled, wrapping his arms and his legs around the taller man, "yay." Liam smiled, "that's my babe."

After a few more moments of snogging each other, Liam walked them out of the water then dried his lover first, then himself. They laid down on the beach bench they have rented for a day long, waiting for their first sunset after the plane accident.

"Leeyum?"

He turned his head to his husband. Only Zayn could call him differently from the others, like if every time his name slipped out of his mouth, it would cause Liam's heart to gone wild.

"If you had a wish what would it be?" Zayn said out of nowhere. Liam knew sooner or later his baby would find something wasn't alright. But it was too soon, wasn't it?

Liam tought for a moment, his only wish was Zayn to never find out that 'something isn't alright'. But he couldn't just say it straight away to him. So he faked an answer, but that didn't mean he was lying when he said;

"My wish is everything to be real."
