📱Mssg: Hazmas ❄

Harry: I'd appreciate all of your gifts, but I see what you did there.

Harry: He only needs two to do that, or a hug. I accept those in placement of thank yous these days.

Harry: He's yours, he already impresses me.

Liam: You really will be seeing me rather soon.

Liam: He's only going to be two in a few months and he's already choking me out with his hugs, I know he'll do the same to you. Daddy's favourites are his favourites.

Liam: I know how easy it is for you to flirt with me, but Harry.. Carry on, I like what you say.

Harry: Well, I know a gift exchange is one and I'm all for that. I can show up within the hour if you aren't doing anything else.

Harry: That might be hard considering his father gave him life.

Harry: My contributions aren't too shabby, though.

Liam: Well, it's not exactly an exchange, one of them.. More like you just take it and your gift to me would be appreciating it.

Liam: Nothing you do is shabby, Harry. He's learned enough words now to be able to thank you for them, by the way..

Liam: Trying to raise him up well so he can impress you.

Harry: You're doing that thing again where everything sounds like it has a double meaning. I'd try to decipher, but I'm more worried about what these presents are.

Harry: Do you think Bear will be waking up anytime soon to be present for a gift exchange?

Harry: I got him a few things as well.

Harry: And I'm using the word 'few' loosely. I may have bought him half of a store.

Liam: I'm doing that thing on purpose this time, since it should be very clear what holiday festivities I have on my mind.

Liam: There's no way his little ass could possibly sleep for another hour, so your window for the exchange might have landed right on perfect timing.

Liam: I have a feeling you're going to step up what his own father gave him, Haz.

Harry: The early bird catches the worm, doesn't Bear know?

Harry: Or I guess gifts in this case

Harry: Merry Christmas, Li. I've got just as much to give you back x

Liam: I think that makes me the worm, but I'd much rather be the one who's catching you.

Liam: No, no, we'll keep it on me.

Liam: I can guarantee that I have more, you've had to see that on tour.

📱Mssg: Hazmas ❄

Liam: Wanted you to be the first one I say it to this year, and since Bear's been sleeping all day, I don't have to feel bad about it as a father, but..

Liam: Merry Christmas, Harry, I've got a shit ton to give you xx

Can't Hardly Wait | Harry&Liam

Harry: That laugh was unmistakable and also reassuring, confirming for him that this was the right house even before the voice attached to it spoke and gave him confirmation. "That's your only hold up, huh? Not that I'd be in rotting in some cell somewhere? I'd expect you to do something to end up in there with me, you know. I'd do it for you." Wearing a matching grin to Liam's, he walked further into the house toward the couch where he knew he could sit comfortably. "Everyone's just offering up their homes lately, aren't they? Must be something in the water." He stopped midway to the couch to embrace Liam in a familiar hug in greeting. "Have to get one of these first before I do anything else."

Liam: It was always pleasant to be teasing around with the other, one of the reasons he felt so comfortable with saying most of the shit he would tell the boy, having felt that way since the beginning with how easy it was talk with him. "Don't even, Haz. You know I'd jump to get myself in trouble if you were there. My luck I'd go too far and end up in solitary confinement while you're just waiting to be bailed out." Liam wrapped his own arms around the male when feeling him do it first, his smile never leaving until a question was sparked. "Someone else making offers to you? I guarantee I've got a better deal."

Can't Hardly Wait | Harry&Liam

Harry: It didn't take long to get to Liam's place, give or take a few minutes than the actual time that he had predicted that it would. He really wasn't paying attention, focused more on Liam's cryptic words that left him too curious to do more than play them over in his own head in an attempt to decipher them before he actually saw the other. Although he still hadn't by the time he reached the older singer's place and let himself right in, but that was okay, he had the rest of the night to figure it out. "If this isn't still /your/ house and I just walked into the wrong one, I'm never going to forgive you for not giving me the proper address. I'm nowhere near mugshot ready."

Liam: A proper laugh was now leaving him when hearing the other's reaction to the possibility of this not being Liam's place afterall, standing up from his couch so he could make his way over to where the boy's voice was coming from so he could reveal himself and show that he was at the right place. "Don't worry, I'm not letting you get locked up tonight, or any time soon. I'd have to watch this by myself, and that's not nearly as fun as it would be to watch it with my future costar." His tease came with a grin before motioning him closer. "Make yourself at home, H."

Can't Hardly Wait | Harry&Liam

Liam: Makes sure his place was tidied up enough to not throw the other off when he came over before walking back to his fridge, pulling out two drinks for them since he knew that Harry would be there soon, his last stop being at the door to really unlock it for him. "No one could possibly break in by the time he gets here." Lets out a laugh to his own joke before waiting back at his sofa.

Phone: Haz-zard Zone ☢️

Harry: "Yeah, we can do that. You called at a good time, because I'm actually free right now. For once in my life. I can come over now if you want." [he pulls his phone away from his ear to look at the time before placing it right back] "Is that good with you?"

Liam: "Yeah, you could come over any time you want, especially if it meant we're about to be watching some fuckin' classics." [Laughs slightly into the phone before relaxing back into his couch further.] "Door's unlocked."

Phone: Haz-zard Zone ☢️

Harry: "No, I suppose it's not a trick in that case. Still.. I'm not entirely sure if hints count but I guess that's more like a spoiler since I've actually seen the film. Or at least you'd think it'd be. It's actually making less sense to me now that you've said that. I'm here, though, now. In LA, I mean."

Liam: "It'll make sense eventually, I promise. It always does for me at least, but since you're here, you should come over. I thought we should at least review the real movie first again together before we decide on how we'll take our version of it. Always best to touch base with it."

Phone: Haz-zard Zone ☢️

Harry: "You tricked me into this phone call, Liam. I thought I'd at least get some kind of spoiler out of it. But I guess that's not truly reenacting the movie if you did that. Since Preston never talked to A beforehand. Aside from the letter writing and standing in line, though, what have you been doing?"

Liam: "You're right, I did really want to hear your voice, but it's not a trick if I actually have something to say, yeah? Because I do. A hint about it could be that I've been thinking about you, that's what I've been doing. You should know in which context, but again, face to face. It just has to do with the scenes when Preston and A /do/ actually talk and such."

[lijpayne-blog1]

Phone: Haz-zard Zone ☢️

Harry: "I knew you were going to say that. I was just about to say.. or are you going to tell me that it has to be face to face now. It's funny how well I still know you so well after all this time apart. I guess some things never change."

Liam: "You know I'd never turn down the option to be face to face with you, it's always better that way. I don't know if I could really wait that long before you get here to tell you what's on my mind, but you do know me well.. I'd need you no more than a foot away."

Zayn: it's insande

Zayn: that my friend, is the truth

Liam: i guess that's why they call me a truther

[lijpayne-blog1]

Phone: Haz-zard Zone ☢️

Harry: "Smooth words. I imagine your letter is full of them. So.. tell me.. what is it that you had to say that you couldn't over text? I'm still waiting to hear it."

Liam: "They'll only get smoother from here on out.. Maybe some of the stuff I'd really like to say to you should be face to face, though. Since I can't really get a proper reaction out of just hearing you, Harry. I mean, it's pretty explicit."
