Its always been you

When Liam does get off his hips, Zayn rearranges himself so that he can watch Liam open the box he’s dug up from his luggage. It’s a small Cartier box, he had taken it out of the bag because of his weight, but he left it right on the kitchen counter of his LA house, just a small fuck you to the girl he’s gotta call his girlfriend.He watches, for Liam’s reaction, the small things that give him away. The slight shake in his fingers, the inhalation of breath just as he touched the button. The way his eyes grew the moment he sees what’s inside.When he looks up at him, Zayn’s finally has the courage for eye contact.Before Liam can speak, “That’s what’s wrong.” Now he watches as Liam’s eyes grow cold from shock, the way he holds the box at a distance, like it’s a disease not a twenty-thousand-dollar gift.
