Zalien Invazion

60

   I'm gonna try and set the scene here cuz I'm too lazy to write about it but it might help to know what's going on :).
      (So Zayn comes back home from a long day of doing what ever Zayn does while Liam's away at work making that money, and he finds the house all empty and he's sad cuz he just wants to see his Liam but Liam deserted him and he doesn't know where he is)

     "Liam? Liam! Are you here Lima bean?" Zayn asks worriedly as he closes the door quietly behind himself.
He hears Watson's bark break the silence then the dog soon runs out of the kitchen to meet him and run in happy circles around Zayn. He was so happy that Zayn was finally home.
"I'm out back Zaynie!" Liam calls, his voice sounding far and distant. Zayn smiles as he pets Watsons head then tossed his brown messenger bag on to the couch and walks through the small apartment to the back patio.
"Liam, what are you even-?" Zayn starts as he walks outside but can't finish his question because he's so surprised by what he sees.
A small table covered in a blue table cloth with 2 chairs on either side was set up in the middle of the small patio; On top of the table sat some fancy silverware and plates with 2 tall glasses and a bottle of wine. A warm, romantic mood was cast in the air by a few cute little strands of lights strung up and hanging from the overhead awning, lighting the small back yard in the dimming sunlight as the moon slowly rises into the sky.
"Liam what is this?" Zayn asks, unable to hide the smile on his face as he finally looks at Liam, who looked so good. "And what are you wearing?" Zayn asks breathlessly in awe.
"Oh this? It's Just an old suit that I've had lying around for ever. Nothing really," Liam shrugs casually as he uncorks the bottle of wine and fills the 2 glasses half-full with the dark red liquid and hands one glass to Zayn.
"Do You like it though?" Liam asks hopefully.
"Yeah you look zo hot," Zayn admits. He couldn't take his eyes off of Liam with his hair slicked back into a tall poof, wearing his black tux complete with a cute little bow-tie and some amazingly strong-smelling cologne. "But You look like a penguin too," Zayn adds with a crooked smirk which makes Liam laugh.
"I feel kinda underdressed now," Zayn admits as he looks down at his baggy Van Halen shirt and ripped skinny jeans he wore.
"No, you look cute," Liam insists with a nod of approval.
"But really though. What's all this for?" Zayn wonders as he looks around again.
"You've done so much for me, and I wanted to return the favor and say thank you and do something special for the most special boy in my life," Liam explains with a smile as he walks up to Zayn and rests his hands on Zayn's narrow hips.
"Aw, you didn't have ta do that...." Zayn says humbly as Liam rests a finger under his chin, forcing Zayn to look up at him.
"Yes I did," Liam insists quietly as he leans in and gently kisses Zayn's lips then leans back so him can see him.
"I made you dinner too. And I hope you're hungry cuz it should be very, very good," Liam adds playfully.
"Fuck I'm always hungry...." Zayn admits with a laugh.
"Yeah I remember your first night here, you literally ate my whole kitchen!!" Liam says.
"Hey, you zaid I could make myself at home," Zayn justifies innocently with a smile.
"If only I knew what I was getting myself into..." Liam mutters jokingly as he politely pulls a chair out for Zayn to sit in.
"But I wouldn't change any of it," Liam adds with a smile as he helps Zayn scoot his chair in closer to the table.
"Are you gonna sit?" Zayn asks.
"I'm gonna go inside and get our meal. You just chill here for a bit, yeah. Don't move. And keep your eyes closed! You're not aloud to see my surprise until it gets here!" Liam insists.
"Okay. But.... What if I don't stay here OR keep my eyes closed?" Zayn asks sassily with a huge grin.
"Then.... I'll have to punish you for being a bad little boy and disobeying daddy," Liam answers in a serious tone.
"Liam. You're not my dad," Zayn states obviously.
"Oh sweet, innocent, pure Zayn. If only you knew...." Liam trails off as he bites his lip.
"Liam is there zomething you're not telling me?" Zayn asks frustratedly.
"Don't worry. One day you'll know. One day when you're older and more.... Experienced. Then you can take daddy's punishment," Liam explains, making Zayn even more confused as he goes inside to find their meal.
"Zaynie I'm back," Liam says as he closes the sliding door behind himself and Watson, who wanted to join them and sit out in the cool grass for a while.
"Yay! I was getting lonely," Zayn admits. "But I kept my eyes closed the whole time! Zee! Look! There ztill closed!" Zayn adds proudly and Liam laughs as he sets a large tray of some kind of fancy chicken piccata on the table.
"Good boy Zayn. I'm impressed," Liam nods as he sits down in his chair and Zayn finally opens his eyes.
"Oh my god Liam that smells amazing," Zayn groans hungrily.
"Hopefully it tastes just as good. I've never made it before," Liam says.
"I'm sure it'll be amazing!" Zayn repeats as he picks out a piece that looked good to him and started to cut into it.
"Wait! Wait! Before we eat, Let's make a toast," Liam suggests suddenly.
"How are we gonna make toast Liam? You didn't even bring bread you ztupid brownie," Zayn says.
"Get out of my house right now!!" Liam insists with a loud laugh. "Zayn that was terrible! That was a joke Harry would have said!" Liam adds with a huge smile.
"I'm being zerious Liam!" Zayn insists.
"I meant a toast with these, not bread, 'you ztupid brownie'," Liam says mockingly as he holds up his wine glass.
"Oh okay. Well you could have told me that before.....," Zayn mutters as he picks up his own glass.
"What are we toasting?" Liam asks.
"You not bringing any bread," Zayn mutters.
"How bout we try and be a little more serious about this, yeah?" Liam asks with a grin. "To us and our love. May it grow more and more every day," Liam says with a smile.
"Okay. I like that," Zayn says with a smile as they clink their glasses together then take a drink.
"Liam what is this it's terrible," Zayn says as he looks down at his glass.
"That's wine Zayn," Liam answers and Zayn looks at it unhappily.
"Sorry. I know it's not gin, but it's more appropriate for a dinner setting," Liam adds with a joking smile and Zayn's crunches up his face in disgust.
"Dude I don't like alcohol. It fucking sucks," Zayn shares with a disinterested scowl as he pushes the glass away from him.
"And yet you can smoke marijuana with absolutely no problems," Liam points out with a raised eyebrow and a half-grin.
"Okay first of all That's zooooo different...." Zayn mutters as he rolls his eyes then laughs.
"Mm I'm sure it is," Liam mutters mischievously over the rim of his glass.
"Whatever I'm just gonna eat now," Zayn mumbles as he starts cutting in to his chicken but his knife was dull and almost practically useless.
"Need some help zee?" Liam asks tauntingly when he notices Zayn's struggle.
"No I got it," Zayn mutters.
"You sure? I could help," Liam insists.
"I'm okay," Zayn mutters.
"Use those big strong muscles. You got this big guy," Liam adds.
"Fuck off Liam!" Zayn commands frustratedly as he holds the knife up threateningly.
"Woah," Liam replies sarcastically as he holds his hands up defensively.
Zayn grunts then continues struggling to try to cut the piece of chicken. He pauses for a second then glances up to see Liam staring dreamily at him with a stupid smile on his face.
      "You're not gonna eat anything?" Zayn asks in surprise.
      "No I will," Liam says.
      "What are you waiting for then," Zayn asks.
       "I'm not in a hurry," Liam shrugs as his smile somehow grows even more.
"What?" Zayn asks, unable to hide his own smile now.
"Nothing," Liam shrugs.
"you're ztaring at me," Zayn says.
"It's hard not to stare," Liam replies.
"Is there zomething on my face?" Zayn asks worriedly.
"No, no. I'm Just lost in the wonder of All that is Zayn," Liam explains and Zayn looks at him weirdly.
"Liam... Ztop it," he says quietly as he blushes slightly and stares down at his hands.
"You're too fucking cute zee," Liam says.
"I'm trying to cut a piece of chicken. How is that cute?" Zayn wonders.
"Don't know. just is," Liam insists and Zayn shakes his head, looking back down at his plate.
       "Woah.... This is zo fucking good," Zayn sighs when he finally takes his first bite of the meal Liam had made them.
"Liam. This is amazing," Zayn compliments in awe as he takes another bite.
"Good. I'm really glad you like it. I made it just for you," Liam explains with a pleased smile as he takes a bite himself.
When they had finished their meal and the conversation had lulled an hour or so later, Liam stands up and stacks his and Zayn's plate in a small pile.
"You're leaving me all ready?" Zayn asks sadly as he looks up at Liam who stands over him.
"I've spent too much time with you tonight," Liam explains with a smile as he runs his fingers through Zayn's hair.
"But, lucky for you, the night is far from over. May I have this dance?" Liam asks as he bows and holds his hand out toward Zayn. Zayn laughs and glances over his shoulder in confusion.
"Liam, I can't dance," Zayn says apologetically as he stares up at him with nervous eyes.
"Yes you can. Come on, I'll teach you," Liam offers as he takes both of Zayn's hands and pulls him to his feet. Zayn groans but let's Liam drag him into the middle of the porch and let's Liam guide his small hands to rest on Liam's hips as Liam drapes his arms over Zayn's shoulders.
"And I'm even gonna let you lead cuz that's what gentlemen do," Liam says proudly.
"Liam you're not A gentle man," Zayn insists. Liam was anything but gentle....
"I never said I was gentle. I said I was a gentleman, totally different thing here," Liam explains with a smile as he slowly rocks his hips side to side, falling into a slow rhythm.
"Hey, This actually isn't that hard," Zayn mutters in surprise as he sways his hips, feeling kinda stupid at the strange movement.
"See, I knew you could do it," Liam says quietly with a proud smile . "You're so graceful and elegant," Liam adds.
"That's a lie," Zayn mutters with a laugh as Liam leans in for a kiss.
Zayn smiles and wraps his arms around Liam's waist as he rests his head on Liam's chest, just enjoying listening to his heartbeat as they sway gently back and forth together, dancing to their own orchestra of crickets and cicadas in the cool night air.
Liam smiles also as he rests his chin the top of Zayn's head, holding him close in a tight hug as he slowly rubs Zayn's back, deep in thought as their bodies move slowly together.
"What are you thinking about Li?" Zayn wonders curiosly after a few quiet minutes.
"Nothin much. Just how much I love you and how I wanna be with you forever. Just the usual thoughts," Liam answers, making Zayn giggle.
"What about you?" Liam asks.
"I'm just wondering what all those little lights are out in the trees," Zayn shares.
Liam turns around in confusion but then knows exactly what Zayn was talking about.
"Fireflies! Come on!" Liam says excitedly as he grabs Zayn's hand and runs out into the yard.
"I used to catch these all the time when I was little. It takes excellent skill and perfect timing...." Liam explains as he very skillfully catches a little lightning bug and holds it in his palm.
"Got it," he tells Zayn who holds on to the outside of Liam's hand to peer inside.
"Hey! They look like little aliens," Zayn comments with a smile as he watches the firefly walk around Liam's hand.
"Most insects do..... But these little guys are actually pretty cute," Liam admits.
"Can I hold it?" Zayn asks curiously.
"Yeah sure," Liam shrugs as he passes the firefly off to Zayn.
"Hello there," Zayn greets with a smile.
Soon, a few more fireflies flock to Zayn, landing in his hair and resting on his shoulders.
"Liam! Look!" Zayn gasps excitedly.
"Unbelievable...." Liam mutters in surprise.
"Liam!! Can we keep them!!??" Zayn gasps.
"I knew you were gonna say that. I swear I fucking knew," Liam laughs.
"Can We?" Zayn pleads.
"How are we gonna keep them? They'll just fly away," Liam says.
"They won't fly away. They like me," Zayn assures him confidently.
"I have never seen animals love someone so much as they always love you," Liam says with a grin.
"I'm just zpecial Liam," Zayn explains as he finds a jar to put the little bright insects in.
"Zayn, you're extra special," Liam agrees.
