Jack had been planning a huge surprise for Zach over the past couple days. He was planning on telling him that night.

"Hey bub, come here!" Jack called from the bedroom. Zach ran up the stairs and into the bedroom. He walked over to Jack, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What do you need?" Zach questioned.

"I have something for you," Jack answered. He handed Zach a small red box. Zach opened it and scrunched his eyebrows together when he saw a folded piece of paper. He pulled the paper out and set the box down before reading the paper out loud.

"You said you wanted to get away from everything for a while, so.... will you join me in the Bahamas?
- Jack"

Zach looked up at Jack with his mouth wide open. "No way," Zach gasped.

"Yes way, it's an 8 day trip, just the two of us like you wanted," Jack said. Zach jumped onto Jack's lap and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you thank you thank you," Zach mumbled out. He held Jack even tighter and put his face into his neck. "I love you so much."

"I love you so much more, bubby," Jack replied.

Zach pulled away from the hug and smiled widely at Jack.

"When are we leaving?" Zach asked.

"In 3 days."

"Really?!"

"Really!" Jack said. Zach nodded then jumped off of Jack's lap. He went to their closet excitedly and started quickly choosing shorts, t shirts, bathing suits, and a few dressy outfits. Jack just leaned against the doorway and watched in admiration.

Zach stopped to take a breath and made eye contact with Jack.

"What are you staring at?" Zach asked, already knowing the answer.

"You."

"Why?"

"Because you're just adorable. We still have a couple days bub. I was thinking we could go shopping and I could buy you some new outfits and some new bathing suits," Jack suggested.

"Really?"

"Of course, baby. This trip is meant for me to spoil you," Jack said, moving over to Zach and pulling him in by his waist.

"You really don't have to do any of this," Zach said shyly.

"Of course I do. I think we could both use a get away for a little while, life has been overwhelming."

Zach smiled and leaned his head against Jack's chest.

"Yeah, I just don't want you spending too much money on me."

"Zach sweetie, I love you, and you know I'd do anything for you. If this is what it takes to make you feel at peace again, then this is what I'm going to do. I don't mind, and I haven't spoiled you in a little while."

"You're too much," Zach sighed, looking up at Jack with tired eyes. Jack just chuckled then kissed the boy's forehead.

"You tired my love?" Jack questioned.

"Mhm," Zach hummed in agreement.

"Want to go to bed?"

"Yeah."

The two boys laid in bed, as they were already changed into pyjamas. Zach cuddled into Jack's chest and let out a quiet sigh.

"Jacky?"

"Yes my love?"

"I know there's a deeper reason to this trip, what is it?"

Jack let out a sigh, he knew he couldn't get out of this without giving Zach a complete and solid answer.

"I want to make up for everything," Jack answered quietly.

"Make up for what?"

"The years you don't remember," Jack admitted. Zach didn't know how to feel about that answer.

"Jacky, it's not your fault, you don't have to make up for anything," Zach said softly. He lifted himself up so he was hovering over Jack. Jack just shrugged at his response and looked down to avoid Zach's eyes. "Jack, look at me."

Jack looked up to meet Zach's eyes, his own filled with tears. Zach leaned down and brought his lips to meet Jack's. They both kissed each other desperately, Jack wanted comfort and Zach wanted to make sure Jack felt his love.

They slowly pulled away and Zach smiled at Jack as he wiped away his tears. "You have nothing you have to make up for my love, it wasn't your fault."

"I was the one driving Zach, I-I did this to you."

"Shhh. Just stop talking. You need to stop blaming yourself for the accident. I love you more than anything, nothing will ever change that," Zach whispered. Jack just smiled sadly and nodded. "So, will you finally stop blaming yourself?"

"Maybe."

"Jack."

"Fine."

"Good." Zach leaned down and kissed Jack again before taking his previous position laying on his chest. "I love you."

"I love you too bub."
