ahhh, boo, i love seeing how this came together! i can't ever gush about your zayn voice enough, really, and your writing is so so good. my favourite part, i think, was zayn telling the interviewer they've kissed once when they haven't, just because he wanted it to happen so badly. zayn c'mere let me hug you and squeeze the hurt out of you. ;___;

but of course the only thing he’d ever wanted was something that would never be his.

no.

hELP THIS WAS SO PERFECT OH MY GOD
it wasn't exactly angsty, as such, but kind of expressed the sort of longing that i associate with these two
and it was so lovely and beautiful
it also hurt, quite a lot

This was just what I needed to read today. You're flawless :)

And he’s sort of curling into it, and it’s a bit like pressing on a bruise, he thinks, and he wants to smile at that, because maybe Liam’s left a mark after all.

Oh. Oh. That is exactly what their love is like. I'm dying.

and so Zayn sits next to Liam

This too.

“Forever,” Zayn agrees softly.

Sometimes, "agree" is my favourite word in the language. It's perfect here.

I'm just so happy to have read this. So happy.

[bloodofpyke]
