Zayn woke up to the delicious smell of freshly cooked turkey bacon and scrambled eggs, a soft hum falling from his lips. He smiled to himself as he thought about what happened the other night, shifting to get into a new spot. He rubbed at his tired eyes and yawned, turning his head to see an empty space beside him. The lad huffed softly at that, having hoped to wake up next to Liam. He shrugged it off though and sat up, grabbing a random baggy shirt from off the floor which probably belonged to the brunette due how it swallowed his body whole.

He smelled at it, the sweet scent of Liam's cologne lingering on the soft fabric. He felt like a teenager as he smiled dazedly, slipping his short arms into the huge sleeves. After getting halfway dressed, Zayn finally made his way down the stairs to join the older lad in the kitchen, leaning himself against the doorframe at the hot sight in front of him.

Liam was standing in front of the stove, three pans all cooking food in it at once. The kitchen was a mess and so was he, but he was most definitely a hot mess and Zayn would rather have him for breakfast after the amazing sex they had last night. The young model bit down his bottom lip as he checked the artist out from behind, grinning a little to himself. He finally decided to approach the flower covered man and wrapped his arms around his waist, his lips pressing sweet and lingering kisses to his muscular, toned back.

"Well good morning there, sleeping beauty." He heard his sweet Wolverhampton accent greet him with a low chuckle following after, Zayn humming in reply. "Morning, Prince Charming." He giggled cutely and rested his chin on top of his shoulder, grimacing adorably as Liam turned his head and kissed his nose.

"How did you sleep?"

"Amazing," the younger lad sighed dreamily and leaned against his lover. "Really really amazing." His voice soon came out as a purr as his lips brushed against the brunettes ear, causing him to shiver.

"That's good." Liam chuckled and grinned, swiftly pulling Zayn around. That caught him off guard, gasping when his lower back was pushed against the counter beside the stove with the steaming food. His hands wrapped around Liam's neck and he bit down his bottom lip, their eyes meeting.

Liam made the first move by leaning in and pressing their lips together in a soothing kiss which Zayn gladly returned, cupping one his cheeks with one hand. He hummed softly into the kiss as it started to turn into a complete make out session.

"Liam–" Zayn moaned when Liam's warm tongue slipped into mouth unexpectedly, his hands gripping at the soft locks. "The- the food." He tried to break the kiss but the brunette didn't allow it, only pulling him closer. And as much as Zayn wanted to continue to kiss him, he was still hungry.

The brunette pulled his head back and licked his lips with a grin, flipping the pancakes. "What about the food?"

Zayn rolled his eyes and giggled, getting up on the counter. He leaned his back against the cabinets and watched his ex-husband. "You look hot when you cook." He grinned and grabbed one of the turkey bacon stripes, taking a bite out of it.

"Well thanks, baby." Liam chuckled and placed his hand on Zayn's thigh, gently rubbing it up and down. He licked his lips and looked at him. "Can I tell you something?" He suddenly asked and the dark haired lad nodded his head.

"Sure. What is it?"

The brunette grabbed his phone and unlocked it, opening a chat from his messages before handing it to him. "I'm not- I'm not sure if it's true. But before I do anything, I just wanted you to know. Because if you and me want to restart, I don't want to keep secrets from you." He explained softly and watched as Zayn read the messages with the bacon in his mouth, eyebrows narrowed.

"Did you screenshot it and sent it to your lawyer?" He glanced up at the artist who nodded his head, biting his lips. "She told me to let it play out for a while and see if it's really true or not with the pregnancy before we can go to trial with it."

"You didn't abuse her though, right?"

"No," Liam scoffed. "If anyone abused anyone, she abused me. I didn't lay a finger on her unless it was sex. But that's kinda obvious." He sighed and looked down at the food, turning the heat from the stove down.

Zayn frowned and watched him, turning off the phone and placing it aside. He ate the last bit of bacon before wrapping his arms around his lovers broad shoulders and kissed his cheek. "I'm here for you." He whispered and rested his forehead against his.

"And no matter what that bitch says, I believe you." He smiled reassuringly at the brunette, feeling him wrap one of his arms around his waist. "Thank you." Liam smiled softly at that and kissed the tip of his nose before moving his lips up to his forehead. "I really don't deserve you."

"You don't." Zayn chuckled and caressed his jaw. "But we do stupid things for the people we love. Even if it means giving cheaters a second chance. But you proved yourself that you could change back again and that's all that matters now. I just wish I could remember our past together." He kissed his collarbone gently and sighed heavily in content, looking down at the food.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Not again." Liam assured him with a soothing voice, kissing the top of his messy curls. "I love you and Felix too much to lose you guys again."

Zayn moved his head back up to stare at the much more muscular lad, his lips curling into a soft smile. "I know." He whispered and grabbed his chin before capturing his lips in another sweet kiss.

"Is Felix still at Gigi's?" He asked him after their moment, looking him in the eyes. "Yeah. Gigi texted me saying she'll bring him with to work." Liam smiled softly at him and fixed them their plates.

"Good." Zayn smiled and grabbed his plate once the brunette was done. He looked down at the breakfast and licked his lips, his stomach suddenly growling as the delicious scent of American breakfast lingered in his nose. He blushed at Liam's glance and bit down his lower lip when he chuckled deeply, smiling widely as the older latter placed a sweet peck against his cheek, his eyes crinkling at the very end.

The new found couple made themselves a nice morning, eating their breakfast and talking while fooling around. They shared sweet kisses and loving glances, feeding each other like typical couples. Zayn still had many questions for Liam, but he gladly answered them for the young model. All was going well, and even if Zayn had a bad feeling in his gut, he somehow knew things between him and Liam would all end well at the end of the day and they would be going back into the direction they were going before everything had happened the past couple of months. Being a happy family.
