It was the weekend, and Henry and Liam were FaceTiming as they played a random video game together, something that was pretty much routine for the couple at this point.
“Dude!” Henry suddenly whines after he lost to Liam for the 3rd time in a row. “You have got to be hacking.” He groans. Liam just snickers softly, glancing at his phone to see Henry with a pout on his face, looking at the screen when he hears Liam’s laughing. “I’m being serious! I’m actually so good at this game, man..you’re just being unfair and making me lose.” He huffed with a playful eye roll.
“Sure, Hen, if that’s what helps you sleep at night.”
The two eventually stopped playing the game and just talked to each other on the phone.
Henry was staring up at the roof, absentmindedly messing with some anime action figure in his hands as he rambled on and on about different things every 2 minutes. Liam just listened with a goofy smile on his face, loving to hear him talk.
The redhead sighed wistfully, causing Henry to stop his ramble. “If you’re tired you can go to sleep, man.” He stated. Liam quickly shook his head, “Oh no it’s not that.” He quickly cleared up the confusion, “I just wish I could be with you right now.” He murmured, filled with an urge to just be close to Henry.
Henry smiled, “I want to be with you too, but it’s like.. 2am right now so I don’t think we can do that.” Liam let out another sigh, staying quiet for a moment before an idea popped into his mind. He grinned mischievously, and Henry instantly gave him a look. “What is it?” He asked, quickly guessing Liam had thought of something.
“Don’t worry about it, you’ll see. Bye, love you Henry.”
Henry gave him a slightly confused look, “Okay? I love you too Liam.”
With that Liam smiled and hung up. He quickly got up out of his bed and slipped a jacket on over his bare chest, decided he didn’t need to change the shorts he was wearing, and quickly threw on shoes. Then he made sure his hair wasn’t horribly tangled before he moved quickly over to his window. He tried to open it as quietly as possible, and failed miserably. He silently prayed his mom hadn’t heard, before climbing out of the window.
The ‘brilliant’ idea that Liam had thought of was going to Henry’s house and throwing rocks at his window, then Henry would be so moved, and find Liam cool and amazing for his awesome idea. That’s how it worked in the movies, right?
After Liam ended the call Henry wondered what Liam had meant for a few moments before shrugging it off and attempting to go to sleep.
Ten minutes passed and he was unable to fall asleep, so he went to the kitchen to grab a snack. His snack of choice was, unsurprisingly, lettuce. He munched on the lettuce like a rabbit as he walked back to his room.
Just as he went to lay down he heard something hit his window. He jumped, surprised by the noise. A few seconds later there was another thump, two more following quickly after. Henry hesitantly walked over to the window and peeked outside, absolutely baffled at the sight of Liam outside, rocks in hand.
The redhead smiled when he seen Henry, and threw one last rock at the window before dropping the rest. Henry blushed as he looked down at the boy.
Henry opened the window with a flustered smile. “Liam what are you doing here?” He called out in a hushed tone. Liam smirked, obviously trying to look hot.. or something. It wouldn’t have worked on anyone else, but it, of course, worked on Henry. “I wanted to see you.”
Henry’s heart beat picked up slightly. Liam had walked 20 minutes through the dark at midnight just to see him?
He laughed bashfully, “you didn’t have to come all the way here.” Despite his words, it was obvious he was more than happy. “I know, I wanted to.” Henry sighed with a grin still on his face. “Meet me at the door.” He called out before gently shutting the window.
When Henry reached the door and opened it, Liam was already waiting, blushing slightly with a smile on his face. “C’mon, let’s go to my room.” Henry urged Liam inside and shut the door behind them.
The two boys laid down on Henry’s bed together, subconsciously ending up in each others arms. Liam was laying on top of Henry despite being the heavier of the two, he had his legs wrapped around Henry’s waist and his hands on the shorter boys chest. Henry had one hand in Liam’s hair and the other resting gently on his back. They did all this with no words necessary, and stayed quiet as they laid together, enjoying the closeness of their bodies.
Liam was close to drifting to sleep when Henry’s voice caused him to open his eyes.
“Baby, take off that jacket, you’ve got to be burning up.” The two didn’t use pet names often, so Liam’s face turned crimson when Henry called him that. “Not really.” He mumbled just for the sake of playful argument, because he was most definitely hot in the jacket.
Henry rolled his eyes, “Liar.” Liam grinned sleepily at him and gave in, sitting up slightly to take his jacket off. Henry blushed slightly when he realized that Liam didn’t have anything on under it, and the redhead grinned slyly as he noticed this. He laid back down ontop of the shorter boy, adjusting himself to where his head was above Henry’s, and rested his chin in his hair. He knew his chest would be at eyes length for Henry, and wanted to tease him a bit. He kept his legs in place, wrapped around Henry’s waist, and opted to put a hand in his boyfriend’s hair and the other on his shoulder.
Henry wrapped his arms around Liam’s stomach, affectionately rubbing his back, and nuzzled his head into the boys chest, sighing with content as he drifted to sleep.
