Connor would admit that his "curiousness" for who the new bloke Liam had brought home was a bit on the brotherly side. That and the sadness he felt when seeing that it wasn't Niall.
Like Niall whenever he first went to Liam's house, Zayn started out in Awe. His Kristen Stewert like face (emotionless) had Liam thinking at first it was a mockery as everyone in that school had money; however the minute Zayn found put Liam's last name together the boy knew the stars in his eyes were real.
"That's insane," Zayn mumbles eyeing the living room, "Y-yeah, t-this is my room." Liam states leading Zayn inside. Connor covers his mouth at his loud cackle, his brother was such an idiot.
"Y-you sleep in here?" Zayn asks furrowing his eyebrows seeing movies, a couch, and a huge TV. Liam mirrors the confused look, "N-no? I'm like the only one t-that uses this room though." Zayn nods as if he understands, though he's still confused because he assumed Liam was referring to his bedroom. "Okay well, do you have the flash drive?" Liam grabs the piece of plastic from his backpack smiling when he has it in hand.
"Where's Niall?" Connor asks crossing his arms as he enters the room, presented with Zayn on the floor and Liam on the couch with his laptop in hand. "He's with another friend." Liam replies not meeting his brother's eyes as he typed away, "You said your name, Zack?"
"I said it was Zayn." He corrects, "You were Kevin right?"
"Connor."
"My mistake, bro." As if he could see the guilt Connor had for sleeping with Niall Zayn gave a small smirk towards the man, "R-right, bro." The older one returns with nothing much else to say on the matter.
Sighing, Liam glances up flickering his look from Zayn to Connor, "Do you need something?" Stunned his usually quiet and pushover brother would ask something like that, Connor shakes his head glaring at Zayn who must have quite the impact on Liam, "No Loser James I don't. Louis will be home soon, might want to have your friend leave."
"Papa won't want to see me," Liam mumbles sadly, Connor smirking as he finally hears his brother's natural voice, Depressed. Leaving the room in a huff, the question afterward stops him from his glee, Why was depression normal for Liam?
"Why wouldn't your father want to see you?"
"B-because I'm not sick." Liam bitterly answers, Zayn doesn't push further seeing that it upsets Liam, "What's your favorite movie?" He suddenly asks in an attempt to lighten the mood, "L-Love Actually," Liam answers giggling as Zayn rolls his eyes laughing, "Of course Love actually is your favorite movie."
"It's a good movie!" Liam defends covering his mouth to stop his giggles, Zayn raises an eyebrow leaning back on the couch staring into Liam's puppy brown eyes, "I've seen it once," Zayn starts, "Fell asleep in the beginning credits." Liam grins shaking his head, "You poor thing, what torture you must've been through for having to watch one of the greatest movies." Zayn nods in agreement before moving to sit completely next to Liam on the couch, "No, watch the movie Shawshank Redemption, that is the best movie." Liam sets the laptop aside bringing his knees to his chest, he could listen to Zayn's honey-silk voice all day.
"Isn't that a video game?" Zayn is once again laughing at the innocent boy feeling tears gather in his eyes and his stomach burning with butterflies, "You're so great, no Liam, it's a movie based on a book by Stephen King." Liam smiles softly as he nods, "I'll have to watch it." Zayn adjusts himself to move forward his eyes dropping to Liam's lips.
The boy tilts his head, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Zayn assures stopping himself from crashing their lips together, he figured there would be a better time for it.
"Liam!"
"Who's that?" Zayn asks turning towards the door seeing a man there with wide eyes, Liam's eyes are bulging as he gulps, "T-that's my Dad."
"What's wrong? Who's this? Guests! I love it when we have Guests!" Louis gushes pushing Harry aside, "Are you staying for Dinner love? What's his name? Liam, he's a cutie." Liam's cheeks are painted red, he's shaking his head fully embaressed, "N-no! No. He's l-leaving, r-right?" Zayn nods grabbing his flash drive, "Thanks for having me Liam, Nice to meet you both as well." Extending his hand for Louis, the Papa gasps, "He has Manners! Liam, you did well!" Cringing at his subtle-as-a-train-wreck father, Liam feels tears gather in his eyes shaking his head.
He's managed to keep the tears at bay until he hears the front door close before he turns to Louis,
"Why would you do that?!" Louis scoffs raising his hand, "Don't yell at me little boy, you know better than to have boys over without our permission." Harry strolls further into the room clearing his throat, "It's a good thing Connor told us-,"
"C-Connor t-told you?" Liam asks tears starting to pour from his eyes at the level of betrayal, "Liam you're grounded for three weeks."
"For what having friends?" He snarls wiping his eyes with the process, "Hey! Watch your attitude." Harry commands hardening his look, Liam shakes his head, "How can you expect me to start asking you for permission?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Louis questions one hand cocked on his hip, "You were never here before to ask."
"Well damn it Liam we're here now!" Harry bellows, Louis nodding to back him up, "T-the one time I don't want you to be. I like him, and he's going to come back over." Liam says wiping his eyes tentatively, "What do you mean you don't want us to be?" Louis asks his tone sounding hurt by the statement, Liam rolls his eyes pushing past the two of them to leave when he's stopped by Harry, "Just answer him, then you can go."
Tearing his look from Harry to Louis, Liam nods, "It feels weird to finally have parents."
