#ziami

It’s been 5 years since one of the most iconic ziam moment, and let’s go dive into it and relive those days again.

Feb 21, 2018 - Zayn is in Miami to film the ‘Let Me’ music video. He posted a lot of pictures from that city where he enjoys the Miami views.

Feb 22, 2018 - Liam arrived to Miami to film the ‘Familiar’ music video. He recorded the story in the car after his landing, and you can hear the male voice in the background that sounds pretty much like Zayn’s. if you listen carefully, you will notice that Liam increased the volume of his voice when Zayn started to talk.

Feb 23, 2018 - the day after Liam had arrived to the same place where Zayn was in, Zayn posted a selfie captioning it with a wink and a red heart (the red color has always represented Liam).

Feb 24, 2018 - Liam spent the day on the set of the ‘Familiar’ music video.

Feb 25, 2018 - Liam posted the video filmed on the balcony of his hotel room where he’s showing the view of the ocean and Miami Beach, accompanying it with his favorite 1d song ‘Once In A Lifetime’ (which has the line “You are by my side” that sounds pretty significant and like a hint considering that Zayn was literally by his side in that Miami hotel). In the video he showed two desserts on the table implying that he wasn’t alone that morning and that he had a romantic breakfast with Zayn. [Since Tumblr doesn’t allow to put more than one video to a post, so here’s the link where you can watch that video].

Feb 25, 2018 - In the same morning Liam posted a selfie and captioned it with “Lost my voice”. The previous day Liam filmed the music video and considering that there wasn’t much singing involved (mostly lip-syncing), and it was one song and not the whole show, it seems like he lost his voice because of someone who was there with him :)

Another important point - what if it’s not a selfie and someone (Zayn) took this picture laying next to Liam? Just look at the arm angle - it’s too low to take the selfie in such uncomfortable position unless someone took it for him.

Feb 26, 2018 - The day after Liam had left Miami, Zayn recorded the cover of “I Wanna Know’ by Joe where he changed the pronounce from “You” to “He” in the line ”You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away”. He also left out all parts that address a girl in the song.

Conclusion: Zayn and Liam spent together a mini-vacation in Miami (both were there for work reasons but turned it into a romantic holiday), and they didn’t even cover the fact that they were together - shared pics and videos from that city so people would know that they were both in the same place, Liam filmed two cakes on his hotel terrace to his favorite 1d song, Zayn posted a selfie with a red heart and then released a cover of the song where he put “He” instead of “You”. And it all happened amidst the breakup rumours of z*gi and ch*riam.

Ziami was truly wild.

so ziamrelated on ig (@redyellowberry here on tumblr) made an amazing post in honor of the 5 year anniversary of ziami that I just had to repost here because it sums up the highlights so perfectly!

Check out the original post (with videos) here and go follow them on IG and tumblr!

I’ve followed accounts like that too. Primarily on Instagram. Personally whether or not Ziam wasn’t a thing, not every girl Zayn is seen with (this goes for the other boys too) have to be correlated in a sexual or romantic way. But like you said, Ziami happened which is why I doubt it even more.

The person I followed on IG claimed that Z and Bella hooked up because of a source she had. Funnily enough, the girl no longer has her anti account and she doesn’t even follow any of them on IG in her personal. So, I’m going to assume her source was bullshit.

But this goes to show, in general to not trust anyone who claims to have an “inside source”

Anyways. Now that you mention the let me girl, I remember when I first saw her, she reminded me of Gogo in appearance. She was also a model but like, a new up and coming one. I wonder if at the time they were trying to push this narrative on Z but they just kinda stopped? All I know is that I remember her gaining massive attention after her appearances. I see her a lot with catalog modeling for places like pretty little thing blah blah.

So... remember when Ziami happened... yeah..

“Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo-”

He doesn’t, not until it’s already too late and Liam’s pout is full blown. “Hey babe, do you think while we’re nearby...” He even fucking bats his eyes a few times, and Zayn knows he’s already lost before he even starts. “That we could visit Disney World on our way home?”

Zayn’s sigh is almost as big as Liam’s eyes. Almost.

“I... don’t know, babe,” he gets out shakily. “Last time I went anywhere like that it was, well, it was with her.”

He doesn’t even need to clarify who, Liam seemingly knowing before the words even leave Zayn’s mouth.

“That’s true,” Liam admits slowly. “But, if it’s okay with you, I want a chance to reclaim it. It’s for us, this time, no one else.”

Zayn purses his lips, thinking it through. “Alright, babe,” he says finally, allowing a small smile to cross his features. “Let’s reclaim it.”

When they finally make it out of Miami, Zayn realizes he isn’t prepared for what going to Disney actually means.

The first part of the day they spend at Magic Kingdom, Liam goading Zayn onto all the rides he can, only getting through about half of the slowest ones before Zayn sees the big water-filled drop on Splash Mountain and pales.

Knowing he’s hit a very stubborn wall that happens to come in 5’9”, male form, Liam cuts his losses and pulls Zayn to the monorail.

The whole ride, he’s silently endeared by Zayn’s fascination over how the lightrail works, asking endless questions that Liam has no answer to. Too busy thinking about the monorail, Zayn doesn’t know they’re at Epcot until they’ve stopped and the announcer informs them of their destination. Zayn gulps, mental images of Mission: Space and Test Track—two of the fastest and most frightening roller coasters in the parks—flashing through his mind. He’s shaking his head, protesting before they even exit the monorail.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Liam laughs as he squeezes his hand lightly. “But I’m not going to that side of the park.”

Seeing Zayn’s wary look, he adds sincerely, “I promise.”

They make their way through security, ignoring the confused looks from all the guards as they take in their weak “disguises”—large hats, sunglasses, and cheap mustaches and beards. It’s passable (well, to most people), though itchy.

After quickly explaining to security, Liam’s practically running to the World Showcase, too excited to walk. He turns into the first pavilion he can find, gripping Zayn’s hand tighter as he presses a light kiss to his cheek. He gives Zayn a few seconds before he whispers contentedly, “Te quiero.” His eyes only brighten as Zayn’s brows furrow downwards in confusion.

“Another way to say it, that you might be a bit more familiar with, is ‘Te amo.’”

Zayn huffs, looking around the Mexican themed area as he realizes, seemingly endeared, though slightly flustered.

“Te amo,” Zayn repeats happily. “Too. I don’t know how to say that.” He chuckles as he changes his grip on Liam’s hand, moving to interlace his fingers.

They slowly make their way through the countries, window shopping and enjoying the street acts. Zayn doesn’t notice a pattern until the third pavilion in. “Wǒ xǐ huān nǐ,” Liam gets out, and even though Zayn isn’t familiar with the Chinese phrase, he has a feeling Liam’s quite terribly butchered it.

He laughs, but offers a quick smile when Liam looks at him worriedly. “Nice try, Li,” he reassures as honestly as he can. “So,” Zayn draws out the word. “Are you going to tell me you love me at every single country?” Zayn groans, but he’s leaning further into Liam, lightly rubbing his thumb against the back of Liam’s hand. And he can’t hold back the grin that pushes against his lips.

“You can bet I am. All eleven of them,” Liam says determinedly. “All these places we got to visit together, all these places we didn’t get to visit... it all came and went too fast.”

Liam gulps and pauses, while Zayn hums to fill the brief silence. “We never got to actually see it all—not past the airports, past the stadiums. I want to do it all again with you.”

“And since we’re a little short on time?” Zayn guesses, tongue just barely sticking out between his teeth.

“Since we’re a little short on time, this is our new start.”

“For now,” Zayn promises and, this time, he’s the one to lean over and press a delicate kiss to Liam’s cheek. “Ti amo,” Zayn breathes as they start through Italy.

Liam pouts. “You beat me to it,” he complains, but he leads Zayn further into the pavilion. “But it’s okay, ‘cause only I know where we’re going for dinner.”
