"Hey, the pizza's here!" Louis shouts from the couch.
"Damn it guys, can't any of you get the door? It's literally like 10 feet away," Liam shouts from the kitchen. He is currently preparing drinks for his wonderful and helpful friends.
"We would be we know you wanna answer the door because you think the delivery guy is hot stuff," Niall replies. "Wait what?! Louis shouts getting up from the his cuddle session with Harry. Harry frowns at Louis' abrupt absence but chuckles because he knows Louis has been trying to set Liam up for months. He's been wanting to double date for so long.
Louis excitingly swings open the door to reveal Zayn with a wide smile. It falters when he spies Louis and a curly headed lad and the familiar blonde one on he couch.
"Are you looking for Liam?" Louis asks quickly. "Of course you are! Come in, come in," he grabs Zayn's arm almost making him drop the boxes of pizza. "Liam get in here! Pay the guy!" Louis yells as he crawls back into his boyfriends embrace. Liam peeks his head out from the kitchen and takes a breath of confidence before stepping out and doing the smile he's been trying to master for some time in the bathroom mirror.
"Hey."
"Hi," Zayn laughs lightly. He eyes wander to Liam's apron which sported a batman graphic his mom got him for his birthday last year. His cheeks warm intensely and he quickly unties it, throwing it on the couch. It hits Louis who scoffs and throws it on the floor. "I-uhh the money's in the kitchen," Liam mumbles while mentally slapping himself. He walks into the kitchen and hears footsteps behind him. His heartbeat quickens as he grabs the money to give to Zayn. He takes the cash (trying to ignore the shooting stars in his veins when their fingers touch) and looks around on the countertops to find a place to put the boxes on.
"Oh, I'll take those," Liam says, placing the boxes at the end of the countertop.
"I-I like your apron. I actually have one exactly like it at home but it's Spider-Man," Zayn sheepishly grins. Liam giggles looking down at the tiles below his feet. "Well, uh thanks for the pizza."
"No problem...Liam right?" Zayn asks. Liam nods a little to enthusiastically. Zayn turns around and heads for the door and Liam leaves for his room to throw up a kidney and shrivel up in a fetal position because he actually talked to the hot pizza delivery guy named Zayn. What a night.
"Bye Zayn!" He hears a chorus of laughs and giggles from his friends as the door shuts. Liam is extremely embarrassed by his friends but he doesn't know where he would be without them. Plus he would never have even known Zayn's name if it weren't for them. Liam wasn't the biggest socialite out there. He enjoyed throwing a little party at his house once in a while like the one he was having now. (And his definition of a party was having his 3 best mates over while watching the game and playing xbox afterwards.) But he mostly kept to himself in his flat watching Netflix and such. Reading comics while listening to music, working at a little coffee shop walking distance from his flat while still trying to figure out what to do with his life.
"Are the snacks ready?" Asks Harry as Liam walks into the lounge. He nods and is immediately run over by his three friends who start to stuff themselves with pizza, pita chips with homemade hummus, chopped veggies and low fat ranch, even some organic sweet potato fries. The recipe for the hummus was super healthy and got it online. It was his favorite thing to eat, but for some reason Liam grabs a slice of pepperoni instead.
