Darryl POV

I frowned upon entering Zak's room. It was a mess and he was at his computer, like he always was when I came to find him.

"Hey Zak? You need to come eat, I'm getting worried about you." I walked over and turned his chair around so he was no longer facing his screen.

He didn't reply and attempted to turn back around but I grabbed the back of the chair.

I kneeled down so I was at his eye level and made eye contact. "Zak please, I'm really worried about you. I haven't seen you eat in a week, you upload and collab with people way less and you haven't left your room unless it's to use the bathroom or eat in weeks! Please Zak… I just want what's best for you. Please come eat. For me?"

Zak sighed and stood up. "Fine… but only for you."

I beamed and hugged him. "Thanks Zak. You are the best!"

I pulled back and he followed me into the kitchen where I started to make some food. Eggs and bacon, Zak's favorite.

Zak's face was notably red. I wasn't oblivious and knew what it meant. I knew he still liked me, but I didn't care. In fact it felt nice knowing that someone cared about me so much.

I finished cooking the food and placed a giant portion of it on Zak's plate and handed it to him. He ate slowly, but ate all of it.

We ate in silence and as soon as he finished eating I expected him to return to his room like usual, but instead he stayed. He didn't say anything, just stared off into space.

He made eye contact, “Hey Darryl? I’m sorry. I’ve been a bad roommate. I just realized how much I rely on you. You’ve been kind and I haven't thanked you once. I’ve been selfish. I know you don’t have feelings for me anymore so I have been pushing you away to try to get rid of my feelings. I'm sorry. I miss your laugh and smile and when you call me muffin. Is there any way I could make it up to you?"

He smiled bittersweetly. His grin a mere facade of the heartbroken and torn that the poor boy had hidden underneath.

A pang of guilt and a stab of pain in my heart. I knew his sadness was directly linked to me and my previous Hanahaki. But the pain was… abnormal. I was used to the guilt but this was new.

"Zak it's okay. Don't feel bad. Heartbreak is devastating. Especially in your case. Trust me, I'd know. And I missed you too. The only way I would ever want you to make it up to me would be to spend a little bit more time with me. Whether it be collaborating with me, or staying and eating with me like you are doing now." I tilted his face up, forcing his eyes to meet mine.

He sighed in relief. "Yeah, I can do that. We can start by watching a movie. Right now."

Elation coursed through my veins as I cooked some popcorn for a movie. I was beyond relieved and happy that Zak was at least partially back to normal. Or not avoiding me anymore.

I poured the popcorn into a bowl and returned to the living room where I spotted Zak wrapped like a burrito and the hood of his hoodie scrunched up.

My heart fluttered. Wait… I knew this feeling. I had experienced it before. With this very person. Could it be possible that I was falling for Zak again? Even after I had my feelings for him removed?

I set the bowl down on the coffee table and walked to my room to grab a blanket. But before I left my room I texted Dream about what I thought was happening. I couldn't go through this alone.

I brought the other blanket back to the living room and Zak scooted up next to me on the couch. My face burned but I tried to hide it.

"Sooo… What are we watching, Darry~?" He grinned at the nickname.

I shoved him gently and I turned to hide my flustered face and demeanor. "Don't call me that!"

"Call you what Darry?" He giggled.

Oh my goodness his laugh was adorable. I was just starting to re-realize so many things I used to love about him again. His giggle, the way his smile lit up the room, and all his stupid little trolls.

I got so lost in my thoughts for a moment I forgot what to say.

My voice seemed higher than usual as I mumbled that we should just find something to watch already.

We decided on inside out, which for some reason Zak hadn't seen.

We got about halfway through the movie before I started to fall asleep. But the fatigue instantly faded as I felt Zak's body lean against mine.

I stiffened slightly but quickly relaxed.

I looked down at him, he was seemingly asleep.

He looked so calm and adorable when he slept. You would never notice the circles under his eyes from his lack of sleep. Well I guess that's just something that came with being a YouTuber.

I leaned in and pressed my lips to his forehead. Slowly I ran my fingers through his hair. No longer paying attention to the movie. His hair was so soft and fluffy. It was enjoyable to play with.

I beamed. "How the muffin did you manage to make me fall for you twice? You sneaky little potato."

"You love me?" Zak's eyes shot open.

I stumbled back but Zak steadied me. "You were awake?! You heard that!"

Zak nodded and my face burned.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Zaks gorgeous mocha eyes gleamed.

I hugged him. "It was a new revelation. I guess my feelings never left. Just laid dormant."

Zak smiled which I returned. He leaned in closer and I did too and we slowly connected our lips.

I guess not even a disease could extinguish our love.

Aww this chapter is so cute! And it's probably one of the chapters I'm most proud of because I used all kinds of adjectives that aren't my style and wasn't repetitive like normal! Also this isn't the really long chapter I was talking about last update. This was fluff to prepare you for the bloodbath (hint for AU next time) next time ;) but someone wanted this so I put the other on hold for now. But I'll go back to it now! Enjoy the fluff while it lasts. I'm better at angst so there is a lot more angst than fluff in my books. Anyway I'll stpp rambling. Thank you for reading! I love you all! Cya my children's!
