Zack was alone wandering the streets it had almost been a year since Alice died. It was dark times for him he would stay out every night now just aimlessly wandering around only getting angrier with himself.

He had gotten into another fight with Peter about losing his temper more and more. Peter meant well he really did and Zack knew that he just didn't want to hear it from the rabbit man.

"Stupid fucking rabbit!" He cursed thinking about the fight.

It was about dinner time and Zack was getting pretty hungry. He pulled out his wallet he had three bucks. He'd have to go back home and deal with Peter.

"Might as well head home..." He said to himself trailing off as movement caught his eye.

Not in the mood to deal with anyone and rather hungry he quickened his pace. He got the feeling of being fallowed, it made him uneasy.

He looked over his left shoulder to see an outline of a person move quickly out of his sight.

"Come out!" Zack called annoyed "I know you're there!"

A man stepped out from behind his cover. He was dressed in black pants and a long coat. Zack could not see his face but his eyes glowed with a familiar intensity.

"Peter?" Zack questioned.

"... Yes." Peter responded sounding a bit worried. "I wanted to make sure that you were alright."

Peter stepped out from the shadows showing himself.

"Peter you and I both know that I can handle myself." He sighed

"Master please come home!" Peter asked.

"I'm just going for a walk Peter. I'll be fi." Zack was cut off by Peter

"It's not safe out here master!" Peter told him.

Zack wasn't even listening anymore. He realized that Peter had called him master twice now. Peter never called him master not even once.

"Peter why are you calling me master?" He asked.

"Because you are my master, sir." He said

"But you never call me master." He responded.

Taking a step back Zack was not liking the situation. They stood there in silence for a moment. The tension was unbearable finally Peter let his shoulders drop and walked slowly towards him. Zack held his ground sensing no threat.

Peter embraced Zack in a tight hug. The smell of Peters rose cologne wafted into his nostrils. Peters body shuddered pulling himself off of Zack. The rabbit man was crying and mumbling through quiet sobs.

"Peter take a deep breath and tell me what you are trying to tell me." Zack said worried about his friend.

Peter did as he was told and took a moment to compose himself.

"Zack Wonderer I am in love with you!" He said with tears filling his eyes again.
