for you

i just might

It was Saturday morning and zach was done cleaning the kitchen.

Gabriela had gone back to work first thing in the morning, without even saying goodbye to any of them.

She simply left a note.

"Hey Z?" Jack calls him out.

"Yeah?"

"Can the boys come over tonight? It's game night."

"Jack, the house is yours...you don't have to ask me."

"I just didn't want to catch you off guard...can you make some snacks for us?"

"Of course I can! Are any of them allergic to anything?"

"I don't think so...i do know that dani doesn't like chocolate, at all."

"Okay Jacky, don't worry I got this."

"You can stay with us if you want to...we're gonna play a bit before the game."

"If they want me there, then I'll stay."

"Oh please, they'll love you." he smiles as he wraps his arms around his waist.

Zach chuckles.

"You're the sweetest thing, you know that right?"

Jack smiles and leans in.

The two haven't kissed since that night.

"A-Are you sure?" The brunet asks softly.

"I am...i feel comfortable with you."

They connect lips for a few moments.

Zach pulled away softly, not wanting to somehow trigger jack.

"I missed this." The curly head unites their foreheads.

"Me too Jacky...but it was for a bigger cause, you know that...i don't want to set off a switch in you."

"You won't...because I know you don't want to hurt me...i feel safe next to you."

The brunet cups his face.

"I'm glad you do Jacky...you've been doing so well...im proud."

The curly head kisses him again.

"I couldn't do it without you." He smiles.

Zach fixes Jack's hair carefully.

"I wanna go get my piano...i think it'll help me."

"Sure thing sweetie...when are we getting it?"

"Maybe this afternoon? I probably gotta tune it and everything."

"Of course...maybe you could teach Bee how to play it."

"Thats a great idea actually...ill teach her some guitar too."

"Oh a guitar? Are you gonna sing me a love song with that?"

"I just might."

They chuckle.

Zach checks the time on Jack's wristwatch.

"Okay...time to wake up our little Bee."

The doorbell rings.

"I'll go get it!" Belle goes to open the door excitedly.

She hasn't seen her uncles in so long.

"Dani! Beany! Jojo!" She says excitedly.

"Ah! My baby!" Daniel picks her up and hugs her tightly.
