“So are you going to like invite me up or something?” Zayn asks, slightly nervous and Liam nods.
“Yeah just… Put your hand over your mouth.” He instructs and Zayn eyes him warily but nods, placing his hand over his mouth. “Ok.”
Liam keeps his eyes trained on Zayn as he uses his telekinesis to lift him off the ground. Zayn lets out a muffled squeal and Liam smiles slightly, mentally praising himself for telling Zayn to cover his mouth. He gets Zayn inside his room and steps back, letting everything sink in for the raven haired boy.
“Ok… So obviously I wasn’t dreaming when you lifted those cars.” Zayn mutters and Liam nods.
“You alright?”
“I think so.” Zayn examines his body, before looking back at Liam. “Yeah, yeah I’m alright.”
“Good.” Liam scratches his head, and looks around his room, before looking back at Zayn. “So what do you want to know?”
“Everything. And I honestly do mean everything Liam.” Zayn speaks firmly and Liam nods, sitting on the bed, patting the empty spot next to him.
Zayn complies and sits across from Liam at the foot of the bed. He criss crosses his legs, and places his hands on his lap. Liam’s room is dark, the only light coming from the moon outside, but he can see every feature of Zayn. The way his jaw is structured. The light stubble that Zayn is growing. How bright his golden eyes are, and yeah Liam knows he’s fucked. He’s completely fucked because this is the first time he’s being completely honest with Zayn. And he knows that Zayn may not take anything that he says well.
“So… I’m not from here.” Liam starts out and Zayn laughs lightly, rolling his eyes.
“Obviously.”
“My planet is called Elebium.” Liam watches Zayn closely, to see if there is any hesitation in his face, any discomfort, but he sees nothing but interest.
“So you’re like Elebimian? Or something?” The golden eyed boy’s voice is humorous but his eyes show that he’s honestly trying to come to terms with all of this.
“Yeah, something like that.” Liam looks down at his hands, before back at Zayn. “My planet was under attack, by our enemy planet Zodia. A lot of people died…”
“Like your parents.” Zayn makes it a statement and Liam nods.
“Yes, like my parents… I was sent here by my parents for protection. My grandfather, who I assume was a psychic of sorts, saw that I would save the planet and restore Elebium.”
“So you’re like an alien warrior?” Zayn smiles and Liam laughs.
“I’d hardly say I’m a warrior. I’m just still figuring everything out.”
“So like you have telekinesis?” Zayn asks and Liam raises an eyebrow questioning Zayn’s knowledge. “What? I’ve watched the movie Carrie before.”
“Yeah. I have telekinesis. And I can do this.” He raises his fingers and makes them glow.
“Fuck that’s freaky.” Zayn grabs Liam’s hands and examines the light that’s coming off from them. “But in a completely good way.” He speaks quickly and Liam smiles.
“I can run really fast. I can read people’s thoughts…”
“Have you ever read my thoughts before?” Zayn cuts him off, tilting his head to the side and Liam shakes his head.
“No.”
“And why not?” And Zayn sounds slightly offended and Liam bites his tongue so he doesn’t laugh.
“Because I didn’t want to. Didn’t need to really. You’re very… vocal about your thoughts.”
“Ok. What else can you do?” Zayn brings his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around his legs, smiling at Liam.
“I can erase people’s memories. And I can control people, like their thoughts, emotions, all that stuff.” He shrugs and Zayn’s smile falters.
“Have you ever like…” He trails and Liam shakes his head quickly.
“God no. Never. I’d never use my powers on you Zayn. And even if I wanted to I couldn’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because of your eyes.” Liam responds quickly, and a slow smile creeps onto Zayn’s face.
“What about my eyes Liam?” He drags out Liam’s name and a blush rises to Liam’s cheeks.
“They’re just like… And when I look into them I don’t know… But like you and just… Ya know?” He rambles and Zayn laughs.
“No, I actually don’t know. But thank you? I guess.”
Zayn unwraps his legs, and crawls up Liam’s bed. He shifts so he’s sitting next to Liam, his head fitted perfectly on Liam’s chest. Liam smiles, and wraps his arms around Zayn’s waist, pulling the other boy closer to him.
“So why all the ink?” Zayn asks, tracing his fingers over Liam’s arm. “And remember full honesty.” Liam chuckles but nods.
“Yeah, I remember. Well everytime I get a new power, or ‘spirit’ as their properly called. I get a mark. Sometimes they are large and some are small like this one.” He points to the sun that’s on his wrist and is encased by tattoo’s. “I got this one when my fingers started glowing.”
“So they just like appear?”
“Yeah. And in random spots. So I decided to get tattoo’s to cover them up really. Plus they are all black, so it’s not like I could make it seem like they are birthmarks.” Liam shrugs and Zayn, nods in his chest.
“What about this one?” He asks, raising his finger to Liam’s neck, causing him to shudder underneath Zayn’s light touch.
“That one is a birthmark actually.”
“So aliens can have birthmarks?” Zayn laughs and Liam does the same.
“I guess so.” Liam grins, and Zayn sighs, not necessarily a bad one, but one that makes Liam know something is on his mind. “What are you thinking?”
“Why’d you stop talking to me?” Zayn mumbles.
And Liam knew this question was coming. Well because it’s Zayn, and Zayn is well… Zayn. So he sits up and shifts Zayn, so he’s sitting on his lap. They’re facing each other now and Liam rubs his thumb along Zayn’s jaw.
“I like the facial hair.” He mutters and Zayn smiles.
“Thanks. But don’t try to change the subject.”
“Paul…”
“I’m guessing he’s not your real uncle right?” Zayn raises an eyebrow and Liam nods.
“You’d guess correct. He’s just my guardian. He was kind of sent with me here, to raise me and help me train and what not. But anyway… Paul kind of forbid me from seeing you.”
“Well I don’t think I like Paul that much…” Zayn pouts slightly, and Liam laughs.
“Yeah I don’t like him sometimes either, but he has his moments.”
“So why did he not want you to see me?”
“Because he thinks you are a distraction. Which you are most of the time.” Liam speaks and Zayn smacks his chest. “In a good way!”
“Whatever.” Zayn mumbles, folding his arms across his chest. “So are you going to?”
“Going to what?”
“Stop seeing me?” And yeah, Zayn has his puppy dog eyes on and his bottom lip sticking out and Liam shakes his head.
“I should…” He whispers and Zayn nods. “But I don’t want to.”
And Liam can’t help but think how selfish he is, because he really is. He knows that he isn’t staying on this planet. He knows that his life is in danger everyday. And yet he wants to keep Zayn around. Needs to keep Zayn around. So yeah, he thinks he’s selfish, but with Zayn being so close to him, he really doesn’t give a damn.
“Then don’t.” And after those words, Zayn presses his lips to Liam’s.
Liam instantly responds and wraps his arms around Zayn pulling him closer. Zayn’s tongue enters his mouth and Liam moans softly. This kiss is different. It’s not like their first one that they shared, timid and testing, and it surely isn’t like the last one, hot and heated. This one is passionate. Almost like Liam is telling Zayn that he won’t let him go and Zayn is letting Liam know that he’s still here. And Liam thinks that’s great. Thinks it’s amazing how even though he just told Zayn everything, he’s still here in Liam’s arms. Zayn pulls away and rests his forehead on Liam’s breathing hard.
“Only me.” Zayn speaks.
“What?” Liam asks rubbing his fingers along Zayn’s back.
“Only I would fall for an alien.” Zayn laughs and Liam does the same, before kissing Zayn quick and short. “I have to go.”
“Yeah.” Liam sighs, and Zayn grins kissing his cheek, as he removes himself from Liam’s lap.
Liam watches as Zayn, walks over to the window. He looks out the window, before looking back at Liam. A certain glint shining in his bright brown eyes.
“So are you going to float me down? Or do I have to do it myself?” He laughs and Liam, stands from the bed.
“Sorry.” He walks over to Zayn, and gives him a hug. “Think you can handle it, without having to cover your mouth.”
“I’m a big boy, I can handle…” And before he can finish Liam is lifting him up and out the window. When Zayn’s feet touch the ground he glares up at Liam. “That wasn’t funny.”
“Just a little bit?” Liam shrugs and Zayn flips him off. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“That you will.” And with that, Zayn is turning on his heels and walking in the direction of his home.
Liam shuts his window, and walks back over to his bed. He lays back down and stares at the ceiling with a big smile on his face. He knows it will be complicated, but Zayn’s worth it.
