Liam and him can’t be together. Zayn’s. He’s a Muslim in a town that hates Islam, gay in a culture that forbids it. And yeah ok, he’s not blind. He knows the way he looks when he dances, knows he’s good at it, that the symmetrical face doesn’t hurt, that most of his dance sisters blush and giggle around him but, Liam’s. Liam. And he deserves all the good in the world that Zayn can’t possibly give him, can barely find for himself.
He just. He can’t. He shouldn’t.
