➙Not so bad. - Zach (Request!)

You wanted to scream. Nothing has been working out for you these past few days, and it wasn't getting better. You didn't know who, but someone spread rumours about you in the whole school. Not that it would bother you, honestly. But if your friends didn't believe all that shit, you'd do a lot better right now.

You were currently laying on your bed, turned around so you were on your stomach with your head buried into the nearest pillow. Your parents were out for the rest of the day, so didn't have to worry about them. They didn't even know what was happening right now, so no need for them to worry. You shuffled around slightly, so you were laying on your side, and hugged the pillow to your chest.

Knock.

What was that? An intruder?

Knock.

Why didn't it stop?

Knock.

Just then you came to the realization that it was not really an intruder, more likely your boyfriend Zach who was knocking on your window. You got off the bed and opened it, seeing that you were right. You stepped back awkwardly so he could climb into your room, and went to lie back down.

What you didn't notice was how he looked at you in concern, slowly approaching you to sit down on the edge of the bed.

What is up with you? Why didn't you greet him? Did he do something wrong?

"Um, hi Y/N.", he started, earning a slight smile from you.

"Hello, love.", you whispered, and he smiled back.

"I, well, you see, I just wanted to come see you, but if the moment isn't right, I can leave-", he stuttered, but you cut him off.

"No, don't worry. I'm... just not feeling very happy right now.", you said quietly, and he gulped.

"Is there... Anything I can do to make you feel better?", he asked timidly, and you cooed at his attempts.

"Zach, you don't have to do anything for me. I'm already glad that you're here. Don't worry, I'll get better.", you said in a hushed tone. He nodded, but then he seemed to have a better idea. All that was heard now as him taking a deep breath. You were taken by surprise as your boyfriend laid down beside you and snaked his arms around you, pulling you close to him. Your head was seated on his chest as he rested his head on top of yours.

What just happened? He never behaved like this. Zach always had troubles engaging in physical affection, which you noticed a lot when you were staying at his place. The way he pushed his parents away if they tried to ruffle his hair said a lot about what he thought about physical touch, so you never tried to push him into anything. So what was this?

Snapping out of your thoughts you quickly thought about what just had happened. You carefully wrapped your arms around his waist, in order not to startle him. He seemed to tense up for a second, but he relaxed soon after he noticed that it wasn't so bad.

Did he start liking this?

He blushed slightly as you buried your head into his chest, realizing the situation he put himself into just a few seconds ago. His thoughts disappeared as soon as he heard you sniffle softly, though. His eyes widened slightly as he took your shoulders and gently pushed you back to see your face.

"Wait, why are you crying?", he said worriedly, trying not to panic.

What did he do wrong now? It was all going way too fast for him!

"You know, I'm just thankful to have you. You've never been really interested in physical contact or that sort of stuff, and now you didn't even think about what you preferred, but what I did. You weren't even obliged to, but you still did, and I'm just so proud of you. You've made so much progress and I'm happy that I can say that you're mine.", you whispered in between tears, not stopping to smile. It did something to him, and he knew that he liked it.

He wiped your tears away with his thumb, putting strands of hair that were hanging in your face behind your ears. He could feel his cheeks heat up as he started to smile with you.

"I'm... Thank you Y/N. To be frank, I've never heard anyone say that to me and I just noticed that I liked it. Also, if I'm honest, I enjoyed the... You know. It felt nice, and if you don't mind we could try it more... Often?", he asked, and you nodded as you buried your head back into his chest.

"You're the best, Zach. I love you.", you whispered.

"I-I love you too.", he stammered, wrapping his arms back around you.

I guess it's not so bad...
