The Man Who Stayed [Ziam AU]

X

After school, Liam texted his friends that he won't be with them because Sophia told him she will be available to have company only until 5pm (which is an hour from dismissal) because their parents won't let her have a guy over ever.

So, as soon as he got to the carpark, he entered his car and turned on the engine and the radio, singing to Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean Acoustic Version as he drove to Sophia's house.

When he saw the address, he turned off the radio and the engine then hopped off the car.

Before he even call Sophia, the door was finally open by her.

"Aw, thanks, Liam!" She exclaimed then let him enter the house.

"Nice house." Liam commented, noticing the neatness and creative design of the house.

Sophia giggled, "Thanks. It's me and mum who made this happen. Dad is responsible for the expenses, though."

Liam chuckled, "Okay. So, uh, when will we start?"

"Now, I'm just going to get my book and notebook, you can get any food if you want." She replied then got in a room.

Liam just waited and sighed, but not in a bad way. It's good that Sophia really wanted to learn. Most of what he reads in social media (yep, he does read in AO3, Wattpad, etcetera), most girls who invite boys over their house just want a shag.

Minutes later, Sophia is with her book and notebook, along with some pad papers and pens.

"Let's start."

>>>>

An hour had passed and finally, Liam got the chance to go home. He enjoyed Sophia's company, really. She is funny and she knows how to keep the conversation incredible. She also made sure that she really learns what Liam teaches and that's good.

Liam got home then, and asked Karen if he can go to the gym. It's been a while since he got a workout in the gym.

"Okay, sure. Just be home before dinner, alright?" His mum told him then handed him some money.

"Yes, mum." He said kissing her mother's cheek, going outside with his money and his gym bag.
Liam just walked to the gym, considering it was only a few meters away from their house.

Like before, Drew, who is the owner of the gym, greeted him.

"Liam, boy! 'S been a long time!" He said, making Liam smile.

"Yeah," he chuckled. "How are ya?"

"All right, good to see you." Drew answered. "So, going to the boxing room again?"

"Yes. You really know me, man." He fist bumped with him.

"It's free today! You came in happy hour!" Drew shouted when Liam is on his way.

"Thank you!" He shouted back.

Once he entered the boxing room, he saw a familiar hair he have been used to look at everyday, and petite body that is sweaty.

"Louis!" Liam greeted, making Louis stop punching the bag in front of him.

"Oh, Li! Never knew you're into boxing too!" Louis said to him.

"Maybe I should ask you that, Mr. Football Captain." Liam told and Louis chuckled.

"Just go wear your attire and I'll wait here."

"Yes, mum!" Liam then entered the changing room.

>>>>

Liam is already done doing warmups when Louis laid on the floor.

"Louis!" Liam whined, "Get up and box with me!"

"I'm so freaking tired, Liam." Louis breathed. "Look how sweaty I am." He pointed out at his body.

Liam rolled his eyes. "Then entertain me while I box." He said then Louis rested his hands under his head.

"I have a boyfriend." Louis stated while Liam groaned, punching the bag in front of him.

"I know! Not like that kind of entertain, duh." Liam whinged. "I like Zayn, I know you know that." He continued to box.

"Well, yeah. Its obvious to me." Louis told him.

"Okay, just like that. Keep talking to me." Liam said, maintaining his hard punches.

"To Harry and Niall, I think they know too but they turn it out as a joke." Louis then stood up, checking his phone. He texted Zayn (before Liam even came) if he can pick him up, Zayn didn't replied earlier so he guessed he already did.

And yep, he was right.

From: Zayn mah dude xp

Yeah, expect me to come by 5:30? 6? Idk, enjoy there.

Louis then smiled. He knew that Zayn wouldn't say no.

He then replied.

Just kidding, zayn okay? Dont go! Youve been beat up earlier :(

From: Zayn mah dude xp

But I'm on my way.

To: Zayn mah dude xp

From: Zayn mah dude xp

I don't text, its Siri. I don't love you. How sad.

To: Zayn mah dude xp

Whatevz, i have harry :P and he loves me so idc ill just wait!

After he hit send, Liam is beside him, reading their text.

"I never knew Zayn can text so beautiful." Liam muttered to himself out of nowhere.

Louis rolled his eyes. "Are you done, by the way? He's on the road."

"Yeah, well, because he's coming. Anyway, is he driving by himself? Cute." Liam said and Louis sniffed.

"Ew! You're one of the most smelling people I've ever known, Li!" Louis pinched his nose, blocking whatever smell Liam has. "Go take a shower and change!"

Liam just huffed, "Whatever, I'll be quick. Wait for me, 'kay?"

Just like what he said, he's done within 5 minutes and when he got out of the changing room, he heard Louis speaking.

"He told me -- confirmed even -- that he likes you! You have a chance, Zayn!"

Liam's heart palpitated.
