A/N: Happy December 10th aka the day after the trailer. Here's a little chapter to tide you over until Season 4's release at the end of the month! I'm so fucking excited for you to see the plot and character development I've come up with for Zion. You'll love and hate her in the best ways, promise.
This is only a precursor of my own, original content of the night prior to Robby and Zion's kiss. I hope this brings you back into the story and reminds you of Z's reasons for fighting.
Warnings: abuse, addiction, anxiety, biphobia/homophobia, depression, domestic violence, slight eating disorder, language, panic attacks, sexual harassment/assault/abuse, violence, and other mature themes

Zion's POV
"...they say butterflies resemble hope and... I didn't tell you at the time, but I always hoped we would get back together."
"Oh," my heart stops when he says this, throwing me off guard.
He must feel the same way. It's terrifying because I was just starting to accept that I lost everything.
"Jess told me that fate would bring us back together, if it was meant to be, so I... I guess I held onto hope, too. At least, for a while there," I admit slowly, my voice almost a whisper. I'm worried that if I'm too loud I'll mess this up.
"Zion," Robby says and I turn to him fully, butterflies swarming in my stomach when our eyes connect.
He moves in and then I do, too. My hand cups his right cheek as his right hand steadies us on my knee. I don't pull away because I know I'm safe.
And that's when our lips connect.
We stay still with our lips touching and our breath crossing, but neither of us move.
I can feel the energy vibrating between us as I wait for him to move further, if he wants to.
Everything between us was gone for so long and now we've been through so much apart.
Still, I want him.
When his arm moves from my knee to my waist and his teeth lightly brush my lip, I know that he wants me, too.
I open my mouth for him to become familiar with again. I even move closer and pull the back of his head so our noses almost brush.
He explores my mouth as I relish under his touch, his breath, his minty smell, him.
And then, we pull away for air and my eyes meet his big, gorgeous ones.
"That was... long overdue," Robby is the first to speak with a grin on his face.
I can tell my face is flushed, "I missed that more than I realized."
"Me too," he says softly.
We share a smile as the feeling sinks in. He came back to me.
