The Ignorant Lie

"Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him."

Liam walked up to Harry whose gaze is still fixate on the couple in the car, his jaw clenched   and shoulders tight. He stands by him and followed his gaze and said “Louis is a really lucky guy” he said with a smile
“How so?” the older one asked through gritted teeth.
“Zayn is totally in love  with him”
Harry’s shoulder tense even more, he gritted his teeth

“I think you can definitely be infatuated with someone the first time you see them, and then you can fall in love with them afterwards or never. People fall in love a bit too early these days, isn’t it?”

“Come on harry, there’s no season or time for falling in love, you just do.” he said without noticing the way harry’s knuckles turned white.

“He’ll leave him like sophia.” he said nonchalantly.
Liam’s expressions sadden, with a tight lipped smile e said “ When someone loves you, they will understand your mind. They won’t let differences tear you apart. On the contrary, they will love your differences rather than using them against you. The differences will bring them together, the things they both find unfamiliar with each other somehow mold together.”
Harry looked at liam with curious expressions, he was shocked at his little outburst, liam looked at with a wet smiled and continued, “Zayn changed himself according to Louis, This is not the zayn We all used to know, He didn’t ask Him to change his lifestyle like sophia, he’s just happy to have him For himself despite their changes. At the end of the day, you have two choices in love – one is to accept someone just as they are and the other is to walk away. Zayn choose to accept while sophia and others walked away.”

He said numbly, he had cried enough about them. Walking alone is not difficult but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone then coming back alone is what is difficult.    

Harry looked at him for the longest time, a smile making a way on his face, it's been so long since he has seen liam talking so passionately about something, He has a hint of desire in his voice, that was new.

He sighed longingly and said “He is so good, brother” making harry smile widen

Harry looked at the car where louis and Zayn were still talking, with a sigh he turned towards liam and asked “ Do you want him?” with all seriousness, that broke liam out of his Zayn admiration trance and his head whipped towards Harry, his mouth wide open in a silent gasp.
“W-what?” he Asked shocked, maybe he heard wrong.
Harry looked at him with a raised eyebrows “ You heard me, Do you like him?”
"But, How did you?--" He started mouth still agape
Liam looked at him in disbelief and crossed his arms over his chest defensively “Harry, you have a strange thinking” he chuckled dryly, harry has hit a nerve.

"I have eyes and ears everywhere, i knew you were Pansexual since high school, i never commented because i thought, you didn't wanted me to know." He said looking at liam without any trace of judgement.

" I'm sorry for all the times i made you feel like shit because of all relationships and their homophobic parents." He said with wobbly lips.

"I knew you were scared so I never pushed it. I was waiting for you to come clean but then you engaged sophia so i didn't bring it up. Liam listen, trying to be someone you are not going to exhaust you, im never going to judge you neither will barbara. You need be whoever makes you the happiest, man. Stop running away from who you are" He said looking him dead in the eye.

Liam hugged him and mumbled a thank you, stand up straight in comfortable silence.
Harry asked again "Now, tell me, You want him for yourself ?” He asked again, liam looked at him pouting unconsciously
“Their relationship is strong, harry. Communication, commitment and trust.” he said in a low voice, his heart thumping loudly, a tiny bud of hope blooming in his heart.
