Liam woke up early. He looked at his alarm clock and sure enough, it was only 6am. He slowly got up, trying his best not to wake his parents while he went downstairs. The lad tip-toed to the kitchen and slowly started the stove.


Yes, Liam was going to make breakfast for his mom and dad...secretly.

He let out a chuckle as he heard the bacon sizzle on the pan. He really wanted to do this since summer already started and both of his parents work on weekdays which leaves him alone in the house. His mom just got a day off yesterday because of Mrs. Horan's visit.


Minutes passed as he cracked the last egg on the pan, he heard foot steps.


"Liam dear, is that you?" Karen shouted, her voice still a bit rusty.


"Yes, mum!" He shouted back as he put the egg on the white plate.

"Oh, honey.." His mum walked to the kitchen and immediately saw Liam and the breakfast he prepared. "You didn't have to.." She smiled warmly.


"It's the least I can do since you and dad always seem to go home late." The lad responded with a smile before guiding his mother to the chair. It was true. The house was often empty due to the schedule of the three. Liam would always be the first one to arrive, making sure that nothing was gone or robbed.


"Oh dear.." Karen chuckled and sat down gently. "Breakfast smells delicious.."

"Thank you, mum.." Liam giggled lightly and sat down beside his mother. "Now that it's summer vacation, I can guard the house now."


"I know.. Thank you so much, LiLi.." She pat her son's back gently before eating the bacon on her plate.


"I smell breakfast!" Geoff exclaimed before walking to the kitchen where he saw the two.


"Oh hun, Liam cooked it!" Karen nodded vigorously before taking another bite.


"Liam? Such a sweet cheek." Geoff cooed before sitting on the chair opposite to Liam . "Thank you son." He smiled before eating his breakfast a little too fast.


"You're welcome, dad." Liam chuckled before finishing his plate. "I'll be the one to wash the plates too." He added.


"Oh LiLi." His mom hesitated.


"C'mon mum. It's not like I don't know how to wash plates." He fake-groaned before grabbing the now empty plates that were resting on the table. "Plus, can I walk Deanie today too?"


"Oh sure dear. But be sure to have the key in your pocket, okay?" Karen giggled before kissing Liam on the cheek. "Now we have to take a bath or else we'll be late for work."


The two parent scampered off to their bathrooms and took a bath while Liam washed the dishes and frying pans.

Minutes passed, Geoff and Karen said their goodbyes to their son before going off to work.

Liam waved and closed the door. All that circulated through his mind is that he was allowed to walk Dean today! Which means he has a chance to see Mr.Styles and maybe talk to him for a minute or two. He somehow squealed internally and ran to his room. The lad was still in his pyjamas and walking Deanie in that kind of attire might be a bit embarrassing. Opening the closet, he grabbed his ripped blue jeans and red checkered polo.

The caramel-haired lad stripped off his pyjamas and wore the clothes he chose. It wasn't much but it made Liam feel comfortable.
