After Zayn and Liam saw each other outside of the flower shop for the first time, it catapulted them into a routine of hanging out somewhere every weekend. One weekend they went to the movies to see that new super hero movie and then the other week they went to the new club that had just opened. This weekend they were going to tone it down a bit and Liam was simply going to go over to Zayn's house and "chill" then afterwards they were going to do something with all the boys. Perrie was going away for the weekend and Zayn claimed that he needed everyone over to keep him company.

Liam thought nothing of "chilling" with Zayn until the hour before. What exactly does chill even mean? A few minutes before he was about to leave Zayn had texted him saying "Bring some swim trunks. ;)" It wasn't bringing trunks that threw Liam off. i]It was the winky face. What does a winky face even mean? Zayn was being incredibly cheeky today and Liam couldn't handle it. He just grabbed his trunks and left for Zayn's.

When Liam arrived at Zayn's, Zayn opened up the door with a flourish and look on his face that Liam couldn't place. All of a sudden, Zayn bombarded Liam with the spray from a water gun. Liam suddenly knew the look on Zayn's face; it was sneaky. "White flag! White flag!" Liam shouted holding his hands up in defense. This made Zayn halt the flow of water for a second and that's all the time Liam needed to disarm Zayn and hold the gun himself.

"Oh, how the tables have turned." Liam said to as Zayn held his hands up and started backing away. Zayn thought he was being sneaky but Liam saw the water gun he was going for. "Hey you stop moving there" Liam said letting out a little stream of water at Zayn. Zayn froze in his spot. Liam quickly maneuvered behind the boy and retrieved the other water gun. Now Zayn's retreat backwards was completely real.

"Put the guns down and we can discuss this like civilized men." Liam raised an eyebrow at him and raised his guns ready to shoot. "I'm a lover not a fighter." Zayn said in a last attempt to stay dry. Liam slightly lowered his guns and as soon as Zayn let his guard down Liam fired streams of water at Zayn. Zayn let out a rather unmanly scream and turned around making a full retreat from Liam. Liam followed behind Zayn carefully making sure to only spray the boy with water and not the other things in his house, because he wasn't raised in the jungle.

Zayn ran out the door and Liam found himself outside next to a pool with Zayn was nowhere in sight. All he could hear was Zayn's laughter floating through the air. As soon as Liam let his guard down ever so slightly, Zayn appeared in front of him holding two water guns that were dripping wet from just being refilled. Liam attempted to fire at Zayn, but to his dismay his gun was empty. Liam set his guns down on the ground and raised his hands in resignation. He thought that maybe Zayn would show him mercy. Zayn smiled at Liam and started to walk closer. Liam thought that the water battle was over but he was wrong. "This is Sparta!" Zayn yelled raising his foot and kicking Liam into the pool.

Zayn laughed as Liam fell into the pool but then became worried after a few seconds went by and Liam still hadn't resurfaced. Zayn was now scared because he didn't know how to swim and if Liam was drowning he wouldn't be able to save him. He was the one who pushed him into the pool so if Liam died it would be all his fault. This is what Zayn gets for imagining that Liam was his own personal action man that could handle anything. Zayn was two seconds away from calling 911 to rescue Liam when he heard a splash. "Scared ya." Liam smirked finally resurfacing.

Now Liam was the one laughing. That was until he saw Zayn's face fall into a pout. Now Zayn had the upper hand. He turned around so that his back was facing Liam and pretended to be upset. Zayn had spent enough time around Louis that he knew how to spin a prank around in his favor. He heard Liam emerge from the pool and walk over to him. Suddenly he felt Liam's wet body pressed up against his. "Sorry Zaynie." Liam said cheekily while messing up Zayn's hair as a final touch. Now Zayn and Liam both were completely soaked. Liam had won this round.

Zayn dragged Liam back into the house claiming that he didn't want them to catch cold.

"We only have two hours to get ready!" Zayn exclaimed. "That's plenty of time." Liam replied but Zayn wasn't listening. He was already dragging Liam up the stairs. Zayn deposited Liam in a guest bathroom to get ready and then he ran off to prepare himself.

It only took Liam 30 minutes to get ready seeing as that all he had to do was shower and put clothes on. Having no hair makes life easier than you think.  For the next 30 minutes, Liam just wandered around Zayn's house looking at things. The design was sleek, modern and filled with beautiful art. Some it Liam was 99% positive Zayn did himself.

Eventually Liam grew bored and began to look for Zayn. He just followed the sound of thumping Kanye West and eventually found Zayn's room. He peeked into the door to see Zayn in a robe rapping along almost flawlessly. Zayn felt Liam watching him and didn't even falter he just motioned for Liam to walk in. "Choose something for me to wear while I do my hair" Zayn said and then walked off into the bathroom. Liam ran his fingers through hair that he didn't have and began the task of finding something for Zayn to wear. Eventually he decided on black jeans, a t-shirt with a snake emblazoned on the front, and sneakers to match. Zayn emerged from the bathroom with his trademark hairstyle and smiled at Liam's selections. "Perfect".

Liam politely exited the room while Zayn got dressed and then once the boy decided that he was completely ready they left to join their friends.
