Liam takes another silent drag, rolling his eyes and seeming mostly unaffected by Zayn’s teasing. A police siren wails nearby, jolting Zayn’s ears. He rubs at them with his free hand, feeling them pop under his touch and cracking his neck while he’s at it, watching Liam wince as he does it, tucking that information away.

(Currently, Liam’s profile looks a bit like this: Liam Payne, male, age unknown. Boxer, smoker, disliker of cracking joints. Not much to go on, but Zayn’s always been more fond of taking time to get to know someone. Avoids him seeming creepy and asking too many questions. Beneficial for everyone.)

AU. Liam boxes and spends his days complaining about teaching kids about contact sports; Zayn draws and spends his days threatening to psycho-analyse his friends. They meet.

ziam phone sex!!! go!

Zayn’s half asleep when his phone buzzes. He’s tempted to ignore it (he’s always tempted to ignore it) but he catches Liam’s face flashing up on his screen.

“‘lo?” he mumbles, closing his eyes as he flops onto his back. “What’s up?”

"Hey," Liam says softly. "Not much. Just wanted to hear your voice for a minute."

Zayn frowns, opening his eyes to stare up at the ceiling of his bedroom. “Everything okay?” he asks carefully.

"Yeah, yeah I’m fine," Liam says in that too bright tone that tells Zayn that everything’s not okay. "Just missed you."

Can’t stop singing, it’s ringing in my head for you on AO3

Pairing: Zayn x Liam Rating: Explicit 

Summary: Liam knew, deep down, that he didn’t have anyone to blame but himself.

He was the one who had looked into Zayn’s dark, lovely eyes, listened to the pleas made by his fine, beautiful mouth, and said yes. He stood, his heart in his throat, nodding like an idiot, as the man he loved asked him to write a love song and play it for him on the day that Liam would lose him, finally and forever.

(He never could say no to Zayn.)

For Purple Kennedy and the Ziam Exchange

Prompt:  ‘Liam jealous of Zayn and Perrie’s relationship’, with added drama/angst/romance.

The Underdogs Zayn/Liam, OT5 friendship 50,000 words

A Canadian winter AU about boys learning how to deal with the terrible cold.

Zayn Malik hates everything about winter. He hates the snow, he hates scraping the ice from his car, he hates freezing every time he steps outside, he hates wearing hats and heavy jackets. In fact, the only thing he doesn’t hate about it are his hockey player buddies and his childhood best friend, Liam Payne, the teenage star hockey player and captain of their small town team.

title: honeysuckle lazy ship: liam payne/zayn malik warnings/tags: alpha/beta/omega dynamics, bottom!zayn, sexual content, language summary: there’s the trouble of liam being away from kiya for the first time, to zayn not planning a successful night out (until he does), and then on top of that, there’s the fact that there’s some stuff that neither of them had intended on admitting. but either way, it’s for the good of their relationship; really, it is. notes: i’m finally fulfilling this request, lol. this is full of fluff, ziam as parents, and zayn showing liam that he doesn’t have to be an alpha in order to fuck him. this is also the fourth part to vanilla sweet, always love, and sugar rush. (and i should probably add how this is a mildly unrealistic depiction of sex, but this is an a/b/o universe, and that’s already impractical, so).

locked in an elevator ziam

When the elevator jolts to a sudden stop, there’s a hilarious moment when Liam looks up and Zayn looks up and they just stare at each other in utter horror.

"Did the lift just …" Zayn trails off because yes, the elevator has just broken down with them in it. 

Liam’s the first to move, reaching out to press the button for help. He explains, pretty calmly in Zayn’s opinion, that they’re stuck in the hotel lift and the woman says someone is coming to fix it immediately, sounding utterly bored and unconcerned that two of the hotel’s guests are stuck. In a lift. When they have a promo they’re meant to be heading to right now.

Of course their phones have no signal and eventually Zayn sinks to the floor, his elbows resting on his knees as he rests his head back against the cool steel of the elevator.

After a second, Liam flops down next to him, his head resting on Zayn’s shoulder. 

"Well this sucks," Liam says inanely. Zayn couldn’t agree more.

When twenty minutes passes and there’s no movement or sound or anything, Liam starts humming random songs. Sometimes Zayn joins in, but mostly he just enjoys listening to Liam messing around with his vocals. After forty minutes of being trapped inside the lift, it’s getting pretty hot and they both start removing layers - Liam takes off his hoodie and Zayn takes off his jumper. They both kick off their boots and socks and Liam takes off his shirt. 

Zayn, as always, tries not to notice Liam’s smooth, warm skin or his lovely chest or toned abs. It’s hard though when they’re facing each other, legs tangled in the middle and Liam keeps fidgeting because he’s the absolute worst at staying still.

"We could play a game," Liam says finally.

"Like what?" Zayn asks, closing his eyes because Liam keeps licking his lips and it’s driving him crazy. Being trapped and half-naked and seeing that faint sheen of sweat on Liam’s skin is bad enough. He hardly needs the visual of Liam’s red, spit-slicked lips to taunt him too.

"Can’t really do truth or dare, so just like, truth?" Liam offers weakly. 

"Yeah alright," Zayn murmurs. It sounds easy enough, they know most of each other’s secrets anyway. Except for Zayn’s most important secret, of course.

Liam shifts, to Zayn’s surprise, slotting himself between Zayn’s thighs so his back is resting against Zayn’s chest, his arms hooked around Zayn’s knees and leaving Zayn to fight a losing battle to not duck his head down and lick Liam’s collarbone. 

"What’s the filthiest thing you’ve ever done?" Liam asks, and Zayn freezes. "Like, in bed?"

Zayn’s having trouble breathing because as close as they are, well, they’ve never really talked about that before.

"I uh, had a girlfriend who used to like, finger me," Zayn says in a rush, his face flaming. Liam’s nodding though, like it’s completely normal. "So what’s like, your favourite wank material then?"

Zayn’s certain he’s not imagining the flush creeping up Liam’s neck, so he slides his hands down Liam’s chest and hugs him a bit closer even as he wonders if Liam’s going to answer. “I have this fantasy,” Liam says slowly, his hands curling round to cover Zayn’s on his chest. “Of like, someone being on their knees for me. Lips stretched around my dick.”

"Sounds pretty tame," Zayn murmurs, even as he’s fighting a smile at how normal Liam’s favourite fantasy is.

"Uh, it’s not, like, a girl though?" Liam all but whispers, and oh. Zayn’s hands jerk under Liam’s and his head feels a bit fuzzy. He hopes it’s the heat. “Have you ever like, fantasised about it? Being with like, a guy?”

Zayn knows he should lie. He absolutely, 100% knows without a doubt that he should lie.

"Yeah," he sighs, because he’s an idiot.

Liam’s too silent, Zayn thinks. He’s still and silent and that’s not really Liam at all. “Your turn,” he finally says quietly.

Zayn doesn’t know what to ask. He’s still trying to get his head around Liam wanking to the idea of being sucking off by boys.

"I uh, fuck, Liam," Zayn murmurs. He leans his chin down on Liam’s shoulder and presses his cheek against Liam’s. "Do you like boys? Is that what you’re saying?"

"Sometimes," Liam admits, his voice sounding a little shaky.

It’s the trembling that makes him move. Feeling Liam’s strong, solid body trembling in his arms has him helplessly turning his head and pressing a quick, barely-there kiss against the corner of Liam’s mouth.

His heart is racing and he has to close his eyes because he’s just pretty much kissed his best friend, after Liam’s just shared a fucking huge part of himself. 

"Liam," Zayn says weakly when Liam doesn’t move, seemingly frozen.

"Did you …" Liam trails off, his voice husky as he turns his head and they stare at each other, their eyes bright and arms still wrapped around each other.

Liam’s gaze drops to Zayn’s mouth and Zayn can feel his heart stutter in his chest as he watches Liam lick his lips again and he wonders if Liam has any idea of what that does to him. Whether Liam knows he’s inviting Zayn back in.

There’s a loud bang and the elevator jerks into movement, sending them scrambling to their feet, flushed and refusing to look up.

"Alright lads?" Paul asks when the doors open, Harry, Louis and Niall trying to peer over Paul’s broad shoulders to make sure they’re okay.

"Yeah, fine," Zayn murmurs. At least, he hopes they are.

“Is it - it’s not what I’ve been wearing is it? Like - Zayn, mate, I know - I know it’s not what you’re used to or like - traditional or whatever but like. I didn’t think you would be one of those people to be uncomfortable or to care or anything -”

“Liam, it is what you’ve been wearing,” Zayn blurts out, his face twisted up. It almost looks like he’s in pain, and Liam feels like his heart is constricting until Zayn finally reaches out and touches him, a hesitant hand placed directly on his bare hip. “But like, fuck Liam it’s not what you think at all.”

Or, where Liam wears crop tops and Zayn suffers.

A/N: Written because I haven’t posted anything in forever and Liam should start wearing crop tops.

Thank you to the lovely thebarbershopquartet for the quick beta!

I do not own One Direction, because if I did they would all be wearing crop tops all the time. Title is from Justin Timberlake’s “Strawberry Bubblegum”.

the world is beating you down by soofyahn

pairing: zayn malik/liam payne. word count: 5083 rating: pg-13. warnings: body image, self-confidence issues, mentions of bullying. summary: Liam is not cool, or confident, or charming. He’s never been able to attain that effortlessness and could never embrace his insecurities in the right way, like Zayn or even Harry, always opting for the mask of the stage or the overpriced clothes he somehow ends up wearing or one (or two or three or four) too many drinks.

truth or dare ziam :)

The game started years ago, back when Louis was a terrible ball of complicated energy, when Zayn was quiet and unsure, when Niall was a bit homesick and Harry was constantly naked and curled into Louis’ side. When Liam thought Louis hated him and he didn’t know his place in the band and when he had too many secrets to hide, secrets that he desperately didn’t want to come out during a game of truth or dare.

That first night, he’d chosen dare and found himself covered in toothpaste, rinsing it off in the shower but just happy he hadn’t been forced to answer any truths that he didn’t want to. Like how he’d had sex but never had a blowjob, or that only three girls had ever wanted to kiss him and he thinks one of them was a dare anyway, or how sometimes he wanted to kiss boys. Those were definitely secrets he didn’t want to share.

And he’d thought that would be the end of it. Except Louis had insisted that it was an ongoing game, that any of them could enact it at any time. Which is how Liam had ended up pantsing Harry onstage or why Harry kept grabbing Liam’s dick onstage. It’s their own fault, the rest of the boys chose truth for the main part but Liam had secrets to keep, so no matter the dare, he never chose truth. And Harry was just ridiculous in general, swearing that there was nothing he wouldn’t do for a dare, which Louis took as a challenge, quite frankly.

And it didn’t have to be all of them together. Sometimes when it was just him and Niall, Niall would ask quietly truth or dare. And Liam would choose truth. 

But he made sure never to play it with Zayn, not if he could help it. Not when Liam’s biggest secret, the one he’d been hiding for years now, was about Zayn himself. Not when he was terrified of being asked some of the questions Louis or Harry had asked over the years. Like who did you last wank off to? What was your last dirty dream about? What’s the kinkiest thing you want to do? Because the answer to all of them was Zayn.

I come bearing Ziam fic.

summary: Liam is the director of Wolverhampton’s department of parks and recreation, a job that was never easy to begin with but seems to get exponentially more difficult when the city faces a budget crisis. Enter independent consultants Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, the former of whom mostly wreaks havoc on Liam’s professional life, but the latter of whom seems intent on messing with Liam’s personal life in ways Liam would never have imagined possible.

Also featuring Harry and Louis as the worst employees ever. Very, very loosely inspired by the sitcom Parks and Recreation.

Relationships: Ziam with a relatively prominent side of HarryandLouis.
