The last bell for the day had finally rung and Zayn was walking to the spot Liam had told him to meet him at. No one had even bothered Zayn all day, no name calling, or anything, which was something that hadn't happened in a long time. As he was walking he had saw Liam approaching from the other side of campus, walking slightly faster once he saw Zayn.

“Hey, ready to go?” Liam asked him.

“Y-Yeah.”

There were still a lot of kids in the halls so the boys had to maneuver their way out the doors. “So how were your classes?” Liam asked the other boy.

“G-Good, no one bothered me.” he replied with a big smile. They finally made it to Liam's jeep, Liam rushing to open Zayn’s door. “T-thank y-you, L-Liam.” Zayn had a small blush on his cheeks which caused Liam to smile a discretely.

“So, do you think your mom will let you come to my house?” Liam was pretty nervous to ask Zayn’s mom, he knew that she’d probably be suspicious. She barely knew him and he wanted to go off with her only child. “N-Not sure, maybe?”

Liam let out a small sigh as they reached Zayn's house. He hurried up out of the car so he could rush to Zayn’s door to open it again. Zayn, of course, had a small blush.

“H-Hey m-mom, you r-remeber L-Liam, right?”

“Oh, yea, I wasn't expecting you to bring a friend over Zayn,” Liam mom says but smiling nonetheless.

“Nice to meet you again ma'am, sorry to just show up unannounced but I didn't think you’d appreciate it if i just called to ask for your permission.” Liam said with a nervous smile.

“Ask my permission for what?” She asked with a confused frown. “I was wondering if Zayn could come to my house, just for a little while.”

“P-Please mom, I-I won't get i-into any trouble.” Zayn begged.

“Oh Zaynie, i'm not worried about you getting into trouble-” Zayn cut her off with a look. “Okay i'm worried about that a little bit, but I-, It's just-, will it just be the two of you, alone?” She asked with a frown. “No, no, my mom will be there,” He rushed out with a small blush.

She seemed to be thinking about if for a second before making a decision. “I'm sorry guys but I dont think thats a good idea, maybe another time,” She had a small grimace on her face, not wanting Zayn to be upset.

“P-Please mommy, Pl-, what if w-we stay here instead, where you c-can watch us? R-Right L-Liam, is that okay?” Zayn asked giving them both a hopeful look, but he just really wanted to spend some time with Liam.

“Well… if Liam’s mother is okay with it then I don't see any problem.” She said.

“Yeah, yeah. I'll just give her a call, im sure she wont mind it.” Liam said with a smile. He’d be happy to spend time with Zayn in any way.

“Just, leave the door open okay, Zayn.” She told her son.

Zayn just gave her a big nod, along with a big smile. He was truly adorable, Liam thought.

Once Liam called his mom to ask he and Zayn had gone upstairs to his bedroom. “So t-this is m-my room.” Zayn said with a nervous look on his face. It was a little dirt, with a few clothes lying around and some hair products on his night stand, though other than that it was really “Zayn like”.

Zayn made sure to leave the door open, not really sure why his mom told him to do that. She never said to leave the door open when his cousins came over.

Zayn went to go and grab the chair in the corner of the room for Liam to sit down on. “So Zayn, did you have any homework?” Liam asked, he didn't want to distract him if he had work to do. “Not really, I just h-have a w-worksheet from my s-speech class, but I d-dont really need help with that.” He told the other boy with a shrug. That had actually surprised Liam since he didnt really know that much about down syndrome.

“You take a speech class?” He asked Zayn.

“Y-Yes, i-its to help with my s-s-stuttering and, like o-overall speaking.” He replied

“What's it like having down syndrome?” Liam asked before realizing what he said. “Im sorry you definitely don't have to answer that Zayn.” he added on quickly.

“I-Its okay Liam, I-I d-dont mind. S-So basically, I have t-this s-special e-e-educator, and I have to take these online c-classes twice a week. I h-have to take to take those classes in order to be able to g-go to t-the r-regular classes with e-everyone else.” He said before adding on.

“Oh and i-its p-retty hard t-to concentrate but i-im really improving, or a-at least thats what my e-educator says. A-Am I talking t-too much?” Zayn ask with a small blush

“No Zayn, absolutely not. Tell me about yourself as a person with down syndrome, if you want to.” Liam said giving him a small smile.

“Okay well, w-when I was a c-whild I used to a-act out a lot, but now I guess im more c-calm. A lot of t-the other kids i-n my speech c-class have t-trouble sleeping s-sometimes like me so theres t-that. T-Though I-I can actually do a-alot of stuff on my o-own like, making c-cereal, p-picking out my clothes, but m-mom sometimes needs t-to help me when i-its colder. That about a-all I can really think of right now.” Zayn said with a sigh.

“You’re so beautiful Zayn.” Liam said before he could even think about what he was saying and at first Zayn was shocked, no one really called him beautiful before.

“S-So are y-you Leeyum.” Zayn gave him the biggest smile ever.
