14. Oblivious
"You have really pretty eyes" A feminine voice says, making Liam turn around to see who she's talking to.
"I'm talking to you cutie," Liam turns back around, pointing at himself unsurely. "Yeah you, I'm looking at you aren't I?"
Liam shrugs, "I-I guess" he says, fiddling with his pencil. "What's your name?" "L-Liam"
"My name is Sophia, I'm new here" she says, extending a hand. Liam shakes it, "N-Nice to me-meet you"
"You too, your stutter is cute" Liam's cheeks turn red in embarrassment, the only person who tells him that is Zayn.
Well it only affects him in a way where he want to hide under soft covers of a bed and squeal for eternity.
"Th-Thanks?" He asks a little, trying to finish up the notes on the board. "Are you doing anything after class?"
Liam was going to answer but at the corner of his eye he could see someone staring at him. "I-I'm hanging wi-with friends" "Oh that's too bad, maybe another time?"
Liam nods as she gives him a smile turning to the board, but when he looks to the far left of him he sees Zayn.
Zayn was staring at him intensely, twirling the pencil in his hand never taking his gaze off of him.
Liam quickly looks back at his book, what did he do? All he did was say hello, he cringes a little still feeling two dark brown eyes burning holes at the side of his head.
"What was that?" A deep voice asks, pressing Liam against the wall as soon as Liam got out the classroom
The bell had rang and Liam's plan was to hurry the hell out before he gets interrogated. "I-I don't un-understand" Liam stutters out, staring at him.
"That girl, she was eyeing you like a piece of meat" Zayn says, growling a little. "S-She was?"
Zayn licks his lips, "Yes, yes she was and I didn't like that" Liam lowers his eyes looking at Zayn's navy blue sweater, "I-I didn't do an-anything"
Zayn places a hand beside Liam's head, leaning in so close that Liam could smell the faint cologne he was wearing.
Liam's face turns red, there were some people watching but he doubted that Zayn cared.
"You're mine, remember that? Remember when I told you that?"
Liam eyes almost bulge out of his head hearing Zayn talk, it was deep and dominant and Liam just wants to strip naked.
But he'd never actually do that, he's too much of a shy person to do so.
"Y-Yes" "I want to make this clear, I'm the only one who gets to flirt with you like that. Yeah? Don't you agree?"
Liam nods dumbly, "Y-Yes" "You really didn't know she was eyeing you like a lion?"
Liam shakes his head slowly, "N-No one ever lo-looks at me li-like that b-before" he says quietly, because it was true.
When Liam said no one was interested in him, he meant no one.
Well except Zayn, he's still a little confused to why he's boyfriends with someone like Liam.
Zayn intense stare drops, "You are too obliviously sweet, you know that?" He asks, leaning in to kiss the corner of Liam's mouth.
Liam tries to bite back his grin, "I-I do now" he says, shrugging. Zayn removes his hands, taking a step back letting Liam finally breathe all that air he had kept in
"M'sorry" Liam shakes his head, "I-It's okay, I-I'll try not t-to be so ob-oblivious" he says, fiddling with his fingers.
"Alright," Liam feels all flustered from the bright smile Zayn was giving him. "Wanna ditch?"
Liam frowns, "Di-Ditch class?" "Yeah, I mean you only have one more" Zayn says, using the pad of his thumb to caress the little hairs growing on his chin.
Liam melts under his touch, "I-I'll get in tr-trouble"
"It's one class babe, they put homework online" Zayn says grabbing his hand. Liam was about to protest but Zayn had already began leading him to the exit, and to be honest
Liam would go anywhere with Zayn, as long he was holding his hand.

"I wrote a song" Zayn says. Liam looks over at the dark haired boy, the sun was starting to set and Zayn's eyes we're a bright gold color. "R-Really?" "Yeah, well I write a bunch but I stopped at one point"
"Why?" "I didn't have any inspiration, but when I saw your face for the first time I got inspired" Zayn says making Liam's cheeks turn red. "Th-That was co-corny" Zayn scoffs, "I was being romantic here!" he exclaims, playful hitting his arm.
Zayn had taken him out of campus ground, into this woodly area and Liam had made a joke about Zayn trying to kill. Zayn had said he'd never, he'd be lonely without Liam around. Obviously that made Liam as red as a strawberry.
Now they we're sitting on Zayn's car hood watching the sunset, on the vacant road. Liam had liked this spot, he loved smelling the ocean that was close by. "Wh-What's it c-called?"
"Well the first one is called Pillow talk" Liam raises an eyebrow, "Y-You talk t-to your pi-pillow?" he asks, giggling a little. Zayn pinches his side, "No," he says, grinning at the way Liam giggles. "It's about sex"
Liam stops giggling, "S-Sex?"
"Yeah, but it's a real intimate thing. So i'll sing it to you when were doing the dirty"
Liam covers his face, "A-A sex so-song about me?" "Oh yeah, There are songs in the world talking about fucking girls hard and shit, but I wanted mines to be about passion and taking a journey to the next level y'know?"
Liam nods, "S-Sound romantic" "Yeah, but my other song is called is called blue" "S-Sad?" "A little, but it's good I think"
"W-When will I-I hear it?" "Well I could sing it to you now, or find a cheap recording studio where I can record it" "I-I want you t-to sing it" "I will, one day. And i'll want you to sing something for me one day too"
"I-I'm not th-that good" "Lies, I haven't even heard but I doubt that you think that" "I-It's weird" "How so?" "W-When I sing, I-I don't st-stutter"
"Really?" Liam nods, "A-And that's gr-great, but I-I don't wa-want to sing a-all the time. I-It'll be li-like a mu-musical or something" Zayn grins, "Sing something for me?"
Liam blushes, "D-Don't laugh" "I wouldn't laugh at you" Zayn says with a scoff. "C-Cover your eyes" "Cover my eyes?" "Ye-Yeah, cause I-I don't li-like singing w-with people staring"
Zayn pouts covering his eyes, "Alright, their covered" he says, waiting for his boyfriend to sing.
Or do you not think so far ahead?
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
Yes, of course
I remember, how could I forget?
How you feel?
And though you were my first time
A new feel
It won't ever get old, not in my soul
Not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road
'Til it turns from color to black and white
Zayn slowly removed his hands away from his eyes watching Liam sing softly, swinging his feet. Zayn looks around making sure he hadn't died and went up to heaven, because Liam truly sounded like an angel.
Liam stops, chewing on his lip a little. "Why'd you stop?" Liam shrugs, "Y-You we're lo-looking around" "Cause I thought I was in heaven! Where'd you learn to sing like that?"
Liam's face turns red, "I-I just can" "That was beautiful, I fucking love Frank Ocean too. I think I'm gonna faint" Zayn says, laying back on the windshield of the car. Liam covers his face blushing, "S-Stop"
"I'm serious, babe that was beautiful" Zayn says squeezing his hand when he sits up. "R-Really?" "Yes, god can you sing me another song?"
"Y-You can on-only get one s-song out of m-me" Zayn pouts, "I'm gonna ask tomorrow, can you sing bad religion?" Liam nods, "Th-That my f-favorite song" "I'm gonna die, you just made my day Liam James Payne"
Liam shyly grins when Zayn kisses his forehead, "I-I'm glad" "I got his album, y'know channel orange. We can listen til the sun goes down" he says getting off the car, opening the car door. Liam sits back further, watching him through the windshield.
As soon as Zayn puts the cd in, he turns it up loudly making Liam look around. "Th-That's loud Z-Zee" "So? Nobody is hardly out here" Zayn says, climbing back on the front of the car. He lies back on the windshield motioning for Liam to lay beside him
Liam smiles snuggling to his chest, he wants to tell Zayn he loves them but he's too shy. Maybe another time, he thinks as sweet life begins to play loudly. He closes his eyes, he could see the brightness of the orange/red sun behind his lids
Just sitting on a car, listening to Frank Ocean, and being in the arms of Zayn Malik was the sweet life.
