"You hungry Zayn? You want anything to eat?" Liam offers as he carries his microwaved meal to the table and sits down.
"Nah," Zayn answers, still sitting on the floor for some reason. Liam offered him a chair plenty of times, but he refused each time.
"You sure? I got some crackers, maybe some salad dressing if you like. Cooking spray too. I bet that'd be really good," Liam tells him jokingly. Zayn shakes his head in disinterest.
"What, did you eat already or something?" Liam asks, glancing back at his cupboards.
"No," Zayn answers.
"How are you not hungry?" Liam asks in confusion.
"I'm just not hungry," Zayn tells him. Liam looks at him in confusion. How could Zayn go from eating the entire kitchen one night to not eating anything the next night?
"You sure?" Liam asks again, just to make sure.
"I just don't want to eat anything!" Zayn tells Liam frustratedly for the final time.
"Alright. Well, speak for yourself because I am so hungry," Liam shares as he starts eating his meal. Zayn glances up at him curiously then back down at his book.
When Liam finishes his meal, he picks up all his dirtied dishes and plate and takes them to the sink. He is about to leave, but he gets distracted before he can.
"Liam," Zayn calls before he leaves the kitchen.
"Yeah?" Liam asks in surprise. A strange happiness fills him at the mention of his name.
"I-I have a question," Zayn admits.
"What's up?" Liam wonders as he walks over to where Zayn sat on the floor.
"What-what is this?" He asks as he holds his book up to show Liam a large picture on one of the pages.
"Oh, that's a water fall," Liam tells him.
Zayn rests the book back on his lap and stares at the picture again quietly.
"That's.... Here?" He asks with a surprised look on his face up at Liam who stands over him.
"Yeah. Well, that's not here ethnically.... That one's in the states. It's Niagara falls. But we have waterfalls here. None that big though," Liam explains.
"Wow...." Zayn mutters quietly to himself.
"You've never seen a waterfall before?" Liam questions in surprise. Zayn shakes his head and flips to the next page, which also had a picture of a waterfall that he marvels over. Liam can't help but grin.
"You'll have to see one in person one day. They're very beautiful," Liam tells him. Zayn smiles slightly and nods, looking back down at his book. "How could someone not know what a waterfall is??" Liam wonders.
"Is that my book?" Liam asks curiously.
"No," Zayn replies.
"Where did you find it?" Liam asks.
"I didn't zteal it. If that's what you're asking," Zayn tells him defensively.
"That's not what I'm asking at all. Don't worry," Liam assures him.
"I'm not a thief," Zayn adds quietly. Liam smiles slightly. He can't help but notice how adorable Zayn was being right now. He was so clueless and innocent and to Liam it was the sweetest thing in the whole world. He didn't know where these feelings came from so suddenly, but he just couldn't deny them.Yay! I finally wrote more!! :) thanks for reading
