two is better than one(ziam, with slight nouis)

so maybe it’s true that I can’t live without you, maybe two is better than one

“Don’t worry about it Liam.” Niall sighed, “Zayn just had trouble opening up, but I for one know he likes you.”  ”You sure?” Liam asked, playing with his hands. Niall nodded and smiled. “Guess the tables are turned for once.” he said when he left the room.

That was true, about a year ago Niall had been so scared that Louis didn’t like him and Liam was the one who reassured him Louis did. Now Liam was scared, scared that Zayn didn’t like him, scared that Zayn would hate him, scared that he’d ruin their friendship. Liam was also scared about what would happen if Zayn did like him, but Liam didn’t really dare hope for that.

In a way Liam and Zayn were both einzelgangers. Zayn because he was afraid to admit what he felt and how he really was, that’s why he tried to put up the whole bad boy image.  Liam because he didn’t really get along well with most people his age, sometimes he was to mature and sometimes to immature. But togheter Zayn adn Liam fitted, they didn’t feel the need to be alone, to hide, to keep up a invisible wall. 

“Have you seen Liam?” Zayn asked Niall. “He was just in his room.” Niall smiled. “Thanks mate.” Zayn said and hurried away. “What are you smiling for?” Louis asked when he saw his boyfriend. “Liam and Zayn like eachother but are afraid to admit it.” Niall said biting his lip. “kinda like we were.” Louis smiled. “kinda like we were.” Niall said and he leaned up to kiss Louis. 

“Liam.” Zayn knocked on the door. “Yeah?” Liam awnsered. “Can I come in?” Zayn asked, forming all kinds of scenarios in his head on what he was about to do. Liam opened the door. “Hi.”  Liam greeted. Zayn smashed lips against Liam’s and then pulled away. He looked at Liam dissapointed face. “fuck.” Zayn cursed “look I am just gonna- just forget about this.” he said awkwardly. “I’m only dissapointed because you pulled away.”  Liam mumbled.  ”what?” Zayn asked, thinking he hadn’t heard Liam right. “I’m only dissapointed because you pulled away.” Liam said again, a little louder this time. Zayn smiled relieved. “maybe it’s better when we’re not always alone, maybe it’s okay to love another person.” Liam whispered to himself. Zayn softly kissed Liam. Liam happily kissed back, smiling into the kiss. When Zayn pulled away he repeated Liam’s words, adding some more words ”maybe it’s better when we’re not always alone, maybe it’s okay to love another person, maybe two is better than one.”
