Zalien Invazion

16

The next morning, Liam wakes up a few minutes before his alarm clock goes off.
"Zayn?" Liam calls when he walks out to the living room with Watson. He was slightly disappointed to find the room empty, just as it had been left the night before but with no sign of Zayn.
"Gone again. Wonder when he'll be back..." Liam comments to Watson who also seems sad that Zayn wasn't there. Liam goes through his morning routine with a happier attitude today. He was just glad it was Friday.
Before leaving, He says good bye to Watson and locks the front door then drives to work.

"You're still good for dinner tonight?" Harry asks when they took a short break because no one was in the bakery.
"Of course!! I've been looking forward to it all week!" Liam tells him.
"Good!" Harry says as they get back to work.
"Hey Harry," Liam starts a couple minutes later.
"Yeah,"
"I was wondering: would you be okay if I brought Zayn with me tonight?" Liam asks.
"You mean... That 'guy' that's living with you because he doesn't have a home?" Harry asks.
"Yeah," Liam nods.
"I mean yeah I guess if you really wanted.... ," Harry says hesitantly.
"I think it would be really good for him to get out and be around other people," Liam explains
"Yeah it's just that.... It was supposed to be a time for us boys to get together and hang out, but he yeah whatever. He can come," Harry shrugs reluctantly, finally accepting it.
"He wouldn't do anything though. He'd probably just sit there and watch us," Liam tells him.
"Because that would make me feel comfortable..." Harry says with a smile.
"Okay, not in a creepy way," Liam assures him. "He would just sit there quietly observing everything because that's what he does," Liam rephrases with a grin.
"Mhm.... Collecting information to send back to the mothership," Harry mutters.
"Oh my god would you stop it with the alien conspiring?!" Liam asks. "I won't even consider bringing him anywhere if you're just gonna do this all night," Liam tells him.
"I'm sorry! I can't help it! It's true but no one can see it!!" Harry claims. "But I'm done! I won't say anything else," Harry tells him.
"Well... He might not even come tonight anyway because he's been disappearing at night and he wasn't there when I woke up this morning but he usually shows up again around when I get home from work. But who knows. He might not come back for a while though. You never really know," Liam explains.
"Dude... That doesn't seem weird to you at all...?" Harry asks.
"Yeah it's super weird but that's just Zayn. It's just what he does," Liam excuses.
"Whatever dude. But yeah. If he's back later he can come with you. I'm fine with it. Check with Lou and Niall first though," Harry says.
"Yeah of course. But I think you guys will really like Zayn," Liam says with a smile.
