Henry stayed in Liam’s arms for a while, enjoying the warmth and comfort. Liam noticed Henry seemed a little upset.

Liam: "Hey… what’s on your mind?"
Henry: "I… I don’t know how to explain it."
Liam: "what is it Henry?"
Henry: "We’re dating, right?"
Liam hesitated for a moment but nodded.
Henry: "And… you wouldn’t say yes to anyone else while we’re together?"
Liam thought about it carefully, realizing that he didn’t usually commit easily, but he cared about Henry. "Yes," he said softly.

Henry’s heart fluttered. He leaned closer to Liam, their foreheads touching, sharing a quiet, meaningful moment. Liam smiled, brushing Henry’s hair gently.

Liam: "You don’t have to worry about anything. I’m here."
Henry smiled, feeling safe and cherished. They cuddled on the couch, exchanging gentle kisses and holding each other close. Their connection was deep and tender, filled with trust and affection.

Later, while watching a movie, Henry moved closer to Liam again. They laughed, whispered, and shared soft kisses. Henry’s hand brushed Liam’s arm, and Liam intertwined his fingers with Henry’s, their closeness showing how much they cared for each other.

Liam: "You’re so… special."
Henry: "And you make me feel… really happy."
They spent the evening wrapped in each other’s arms, talking, laughing, and sharing quiet, intimate moments that strengthened their bond. The next morning, Henry woke up beside Liam, feeling a warmth that went beyond words. They shared smiles, soft touches, and gentle hugs as they got ready for college. They went to college together. Henry could not help but notice everyone’s gaze, as if everyone was staring at them and only them. 

Henry: I think something’s wrong today!!! 

Liam: why do you say that? 

Henry: everyone’s staring

Liam: yeah I noticed that too 

Both of them crossed paths with Jacob and Vanessa, Jacob and Vanessa greeted both of them. 

Jacob: hii guys 

Henry: hii (with a welcoming smile)

Henry wanted to talk to them further but a guy passed through them and rolled his eyes towards Liam and Henry as if he was looking at them with disgust. Liam did not mind much but Henry felt weird. 

Henry: what’s up with him? 

Vanessa: oh well you know everyone have mixed thoughts about you two 

Henry: us two? Why? 

Jacob: you don’t know? 

Liam: know what? (saying with an angry and confused face)

Vanessa and Jacob looked at each other and showed them the post. Their picture was there, it was posted by an anonymous person. It clearly showed Henry holding flowers in front of Liam’s house, and the comments were like this: 

Jk678 Liam went on with every guy in city and in the end he picked this doofus? 

 Person74 Relax guys he’s gonna throw this guy too 

 Mina567 Idk why everyone is so focused on others relations? 

 Urs907 This guy is so mid for someone like Liam 

 Omna567 I thought they were BFFs? 

This made Henry horrified, he couldn't afford having these rumors around, he was lucky enough to get in college, he couldn’t put his reputation on line. Liam was disturbed too, but not as much as Henry, if it was only about him, maybe he would’ve let it go but this person involved Henry in it, he could never stand that. Liam swore that he would make this person sorry for what they did.
