Malik-Payne Penthouse

There were only fifteen minutes left until the new year was there. The penthouse was crowded with friends and family from the couple, everyone enjoying their time and having a bunch of champagne. The kids were all already asleep, having a sleepover in Kai's bedroom as the grownups celebrated downstairs. Liam was talking to Evan and Niall, explaining the new idea he had for their partnership in the company.

Zayn was outside on the balcony, admiring the view of manhattan from above. It was snowing, the lighting of the sleepless city making the scene more beautiful as it is. The cold winter breeze blew through the tall buildings, causing the snowflakes to dance along before landing on the snow covered grounds. It was mesmerizing.

He adjusted the coat, sighing softly in content. His attention suddenly drifted towards the door when he heard Liam's voice call his name. He stood up straight. "Hey baby." He smiled and watched the brunet approach him.

"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Liam asked, wrapping his arms around him.

"Oh, I just needed some fresh air." Zayn hummed, leaning into his lover's touch.

"Aren't you cold?"

"No baby, I'm fine." He chuckled and tilted his head back to look up at him. He smiled softly. "How's the party?"

"It's going good. Everyone is enjoying themselves." Liam told him, staring at the view of Manhattan.

"That's good." The dark haired male said and tilted his head a little. He then bit his lip when he realized something. "Hey.. Liam?"

"Yeah babe?"

"I need to tell you something..." he trailed, his heart suddenly racing. He inhaled a deep breath, turning around to face him and grabbing his slightly bigger hands.

"What is it baby?" Liam questioned, looking down at him confused. His brows were furrowed together.

"I couldn't tell you sooner because- because it kind of slipped my mind and I was focusing more on you after the incident. And I'm not sure if your heard what i said before you woke up but..." Zayn trailed, chewing at his bottom lip. "But now that everything's going fine, I guess I can finally tell you the news that we're-" he stopped himself to inhale a deep breath.

"We're pregnant." He blurted, his lips curling into a small smile.

Liam stared at him once he heard those words, his mouth open but no words seem to come out. "You're- you're pregnant?" He asked, completely shocked.

"Yes, I am." Zayn said softly.

Liam's lips suddenly formed into a really big smile when he heard the news. Without another word, he cupped Zayn's face and kissed him, taking the younger latter a little by surprise. He didn't hesitate with kissing back though, his arms wrapping around the older male's waist and pulling him closer.

"Then I guess this is the right moment to do this." Liam murmured against his lips when they pulled apart, Zayn still in a bit of a daze from the kiss. He watched the brunet take a step back before slowly kneeling down in front of him, his eyes suddenly widening.

It's actually happening.

"Zayn Malik, from the time we were in high school, I knew you were the one for me. I was just too stupid and selfish to realize that in the first place. I was scared of the outcome and scared that our relationship would shatter before we even started. I know, that's not a good justification for everything that I put you through. But I'm so happy we met once again and I'm so happy that I'm here with you now. I'd be lost without you honestly. You're the light of my life – the love of my life. And- and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Liam said, smiling softly up at the younger latter who was tearing up.

"Zayn Malik, will you marry me?" He asked the question, pulling out the familiar velvet box and opening it to reveal the engagement ring.

Zayn covered his mouth, the tears rolling down his cheeks. He nodded his head erratically and excitingly. "Yes!" He squealed, letting the brunet slip the ring on his finger.

He then cupped Liam's cheeks and pulled him up, smashing their lips together. And just at the right moment, the clock struck midnight, fireworks getting shot up to the sky and exploding above them. It was the perfect moment.

Their lips moved in sync, butterflies fluttering in both of their stomachs as they stood there and kissed. They were both excited after that moment had happened, heading back inside to announce the news to the others. Of course, they all celebrated together with the couple as well as celebrating the brand new year.
