Jack knew this day was going to be hard, for both him and Zach. It's been exactly a year since the accident, and a year since Zach lost everything. Sure he has most of it back now, but it's still a trauma that scarred him. Worst of all, this would have been the couple's five year anniversary together.
Jack and Zach were downstairs on the couch cuddling, nobody has mentioned the accident but it was on everyone's mind.
Jonah was silently drinking his morning coffee and Daniel and Corbyn were just talking quietly between themselves.
Zach sighed into Jack's chest, Jack knew what he was thinking about.
"What's wrong, bubby?" Jack asked softly.
"It's been a year, a year since I lost pretty much everything," Zach answered.
"I know bubba, but you've gotten so far again. I'm so proud of you baby," Jack whispered, placing a soft kiss on Zach's temple. Zach began tearing up, cuddling his face further into Jack's chest to hide it. Jack just held the boy close and moved him so he was straddling his lap. He rubbed the boy's back and rocked back and forth to calm him. "Deep breaths baby, deep breaths," Jack instructed. Zach took a few deep, shaky breaths as Jack tried to calm him down. "You're okay my love, everything's okay."
Eventually Zach was somewhat calm, he was still holding onto chunks of Jack's hoodie in his fists as his face was stuffed into the older boy's neck. Jack just kept his arms tightly around him and rubbed his back. "Everything's okay bub, you're okay," Jack said gently. Zach let out a small whimper into Jack's neck, which just made Jack hold him closer.
"I want to come out," Zach said suddenly. He pulled away from Jack and looked down at him. That statement got Jonah, Daniel, and Corbyn's attention as well.
"Bubba, as much as I would love to, I don't think right now is a good time for you to be deciding that," Jack said, rubbing Zach's hip gently.
"I want to Jacky, I've been thinking about it for a while and I want to. Today would be a good day to do it," Zach explained.
"Okay bubba, whatever you say. I just want to make sure you're 100% positive, because there's no going back," Jack said, trying to make Zach more aware of the severity of the situation.
"I'm sure. I'm ready."
"Okay, go onto Instagram and choose a couple photos of us bub."
The two boys went onto Instagram and went through their camera rolls, choosing 3 photos each before writing captions. The other three boys watched in anticipation, opening their phones as well to refresh the couple's instagrams.
