The Money Maker

Summary:
"This is who I gotta pretend to be in a relationship with?" Zayn whines, shaking his head when he sees the crinkly-eyed boy with the styled quiff, the hoodie, the sunglasses.

"You're no looker yourself," Liam snorts, squinting his eyes at Zayn as he pulls off his sunglasses. But he's lying. Of course he's lying. His cheekbones are sharp enough to cut wood, his eyes bright enough to start a fire. But Zayn doesn't have to know that.

Zayn is perplexed-already-by Liam. He's sharper, quicker than he expected. With a sigh, Liam slides down his hood, tiredly sliding his fingers through his hair. "Alright, well, let's get this... thing started. I want it over as soon as possible."

Zayn wonders suddenly what Liam's hair feels like, has a strong urge to reach forward and kiss him back into the wall, find his own fingers in the boy's brown hair.

Zayn's lying, too. But Liam doesn't have to know that.
