A little Louis/Luke/Brady memories for you guys. And then some ziam:-)

Louis was sitting in front of Luke, talking about Brady showing up out of the blue. Luke came by after Brady showed up, if he came by when Brady was here, Luke might be in jail overnight.

"After all this time, he shows up, and–" Louis trailed off, looking off to the side, and sighed. Whenever Louis saw or thought of Brady all his feelings come rushing back, the good and bad feelings and memories.

"It's my fault that you got involved with Brady–"

Louis cut Luke off, not hearing Luke at all. "He said he wants me back, and it took him a year to realize that? What did he expect? Me to say yes, and jump into his arms?"

"Louis," Luke interrupted Louis. Louis waved his hand, not wanting to hear anything that Luke says. His mind drifted to all those memories.

Louis stood next to Luke. He looked like a kid compared to Luke. But that didn't bother Luke's friend. The one that Luke insisted that Louis should meet.

When Louis met Brady they didn't exactly click. Louis might have seemed like an uptight arse, but Brady broke that wall easily. And they immediately clicked after that.

Louis looked at Luke, and sighed. "Why is my love life so complicated? Can I ever find someone who isn't a liar, and cheats?"

"Maybe you don't need to find love? It'll just show up on your door," Luke said, and watched his best friend rub his stomach.

Speaking of doors. Louis was nervous on his first date with Brady. Knocking at Louis's door, Brady wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans. When Louis opened the door, Brady almost fainted at the sight of Louis. Was this how falling in love felt?

They went to the pizza parlor in town, and walked around the park, talking the whole date. Making memories. Memories that Louis wanted to share with his future children.

Louis was too invested in remembering he didn't realize how close he was to Luke. Luke's hand was unintentionally on top of Louis's thigh.

Louis laid in Brady's arm while Luke was on the other side of the couch with his girlfriend Emma. They decided to put in some cheesy horror movie. Some parts had them jumping, but overall the movie wasn't scary at all.

Louis looked over and locked eyes with Luke. Using their best friend telekinesis and getting up to get more food.

Louis and Luke have been friends since grade school. They were both the awkward kids, yet people loved Louis as he made everyone laugh, especially the blonde kid in the back of the class. As they grew up, their roles reverse, Luke became the outgoing one, the one that made friends easily, and Louis became an introvert, and rarely went outside his house without Luke.

As the two neared one another, it didn't feel weird for either of them. Louis leaned in before Luke did, but they ended up close together, breathing hard against each other's mouth.

"What do you mean you can't do it?" Liam yelled into his cell phone.

"He left England last night. There's no way we can–"

"Then buy a flight to Tokyo, and tell him we agree with his terms. I will not lose this deal because of your lack of–"

"Lee?" Zayn knocked on the door, and slightly opened it. Liam raised his hand, telling him to wait.

"Just get a hold of him. If you can't reach him within the hour, you're flying to Tokyo, and I don't care if you'll miss date night," Liam ended the call, and wiped his hands down his face and sighed.

"You have a visitor," Zayn mumbled, and let the person walk into Liam's home office. "He said he's here to talk about Phil."

"Who are you?" Liam asked, leaning on his desk, arms crossed over his chest.

"My apologies, I should introduce myself. My name's Brady, and I'm Louis's fiancé."

Liam raised his eyebrows, "Fiancé? Okay, whatever you say. What are you doing in my house?"

"I was going to propose to him, but he saw me with–"

"You're the one who cheated on him–"

"You're the one who cheated with him on your husband. Don't test me, Mr Payne. I know all your little secrets. All those flights with Louis as your little boy toy. All those texts you shared with Louis behind your husband's back."

"What do you want?"

"That's easy. Louis, and for him to keep the baby–"

"And if Louis doesn't want to get back together with you?"

"All your messages from the past year will be sent to everyone important in your life, and it might even ruin your perfect little marriage. Because Zayn knows about the affair, but does he know how many times you chose Louis to come with you on your business trips over him?"

"Leave my house! Leave my family alone! Leave Louis alone! And don't even try to intimidate me!" Liam yelled. Brady left with a smirk on his face, knowing he got under Liam's skin.

Liam wasn't sure if he regretted being with Louis or not. Liam was finally getting a child, it might not be with his husband, but he's sure Zayn would love her as if she's his own. Their daughter will have three fathers to love her.

Zayn walked into Liam's office. "You okay, Lee?"

"I'm so sorry for what I put you through, Zayn. You're amazing, and I don't deserve you. I don't know why you even took me back after what I did–"

"Liam," Zayn started, stepping towards Liam.

"No. Please don't try to make me feel better. I'm not a good person. I cheated on you, and someone is pregnant with my kid because I. . . I'm. . . I'm so sorry," Liam sobbed. He dropped to his knees, crying, and repeating, "I don't deserve you," and, "I'm so sorry."

Zany knelt down, and pulled his husband towards him. Liam's head was on Zayn's chest, and Zayn's hands were in Liam's hair, trying to soothe his husband.

"Everything is okay. You're an amazing person, husband, and going to be an amazing father. I love you, and nothing will change that. You'll always have me, Liam," Zayn whispered, slowing rocking back and forth, and after Liam's sobs became quiet.

So it might be like five months since I updated. But at least I updated, right?

Also, didn't plan that Luke/Louis thing. And Brady coming to talk to Liam. But it happened. And Liam had a small meltdown and Zayn helped him. :-)
