liam and zayn walked back across the road to liam's house, liam carrying zayns bag, because it was 'something friends to do'.

once at liam's house, the pair walked into liam's bedroom and sat down together on the bed.

zayn sighed contently, leaning back to look at the ceiling.

"i had mum make your favorite for dinner." liam told zayn as he laid back with him.

zayn smiled, "thanks, li."

liam smiled back. seeing zayn smile, a real smile, always made liam's day better.

dinner went by quickly. zayn always enjoyed eating with liam's family because he never had this quality family time with his actual "family". it was normally just him and his dad eating in the living room. or zayn's father would go out with friends and zayn would be left to eat cereal or toast. but dinner at the payne's house was nice. freshly cooked meals and dessert, not to mention liam's mum always asked how everyone's day was.

zayn wished he had a complete family like liam. he wished he had a mum and a sister or brother, and a nicer father who actually cared.

zayn and liam helped clean the dishes after they ate (they had pasta and bread ((the really good warm, buttery kind)) just like liam said, it was zayns favorite). liam's mother thanks the two and kissed liam goodnight, to which he protested saying he was too old for kisses.

but zayn accepted his hug he was given. he loved the love that liam's mum gave him, it was something he never truly got to experience.

late that night, zayn and liam had put away the video games and their phones to lay in bed. they faced each other, legs tangled, and eyes locked.

"thanks for having me over, liam." zayn whispered.

liam was so, so kind to him. he felt as though he didn't deserve it, but greatly accepted liam's kindness.

"of course, zee" liam smiled sleepily, "you're my best friend."

zayn shrugged softly, smiling back at liam. "you know how you saw those razors earlier?"

liam's face dropped, he didn't want to bring the subject back up again, but nodded anyway.

"erm, well i did try." zayn mumbled, looking away from liam. he felt liam tense and quickly continued, "but it hurt too much. it didn't even leave a mark."

liam stared at zayn, not truly believing him.

"i promise." zayn whispered, "i just read about how it supposedly helps and i tried and it hurt an made me feel worse. i meant to throw it away, but i just never did."

liam sighed, "i believe you, zayn. lets just drop this and go to bed, yeah?"

zayn nodded, curling into liam's side. liam gratefully pulled zayn into his arms (remember, not gay) and close his eyes.

"night, liam love you." zayn

whispered.

"love you too, zee."
