Darryl walked quietly to the park, he had so many thoughts running through his head he couldn't keep up with them.

He heavily sighed as he approached the park.

There Zak was sitting on the swing, exactly the place he found Zak that night.

The two make eye contact as Darryl walks closer.

"Hi.." Darryl said.

"Hey.." Zak replies.

There is a moment of silence, both gathering their words to say something.

Finally Zak inhales deeply and exhales.

"I know this is so awkward because of that night, and you need an explanation." Zak says

"Yeah.." Darryl replies.

"I know I kissed you, and made out with you.. But. It was mostly a test to figure out if I actually liked you and.." Zak says avoiding eye contact.
"Darryl, I love you...."

Darryl's eyes lit up at the sentence.

Until...

"But, platonically."

Darryl froze at this.

"I really do love our friendship, and everything about you but.  You just aren't the person for me." Zak says, guilty.

Darryl frowns at this and his heart is immediately crushed.

Why would Zak say this..? Is there something wrong with Darryl..?

It takes all his courage but Darryl replies.

"Zak, I love you. I don't even know if I'm saying it in a platonic way anymore, but.. Can we atleast try...?"

Zak is shocked by this and starts getting nervous.

"I-I don't...really.."

Darryl pulls him into a hug.

"Please... I know these feelings won't go away.." Darryl says

Zak pushes Darryl off of him.

"I can't. I don't want to lie to you."

Darryl feels tears rolling down his face.

"We aren't meant for eachother, we can't, we won't ever."

Darryl watches as Zak leaves him.

He cries even harder.

That's when, He wakes up.

Darryl woke up a mess, panting.

He looked around his room and realized it was a dream.

He laid back down and covered his face.

His worst fear turned into a nightmare, now one that will haunt him forever.

The one thing that wasn't a dream were the texts, thank god.

Darryl sat up and checked his phone to see a text from Zak.

"Hii, instaed of teh park, wanna meet up at my plcae? It syas it's gona rain tonite :P "

He sighs relieved and types a reply.

"Okay, something came up so maybe we can make the time later?"

Zak🩵 is typing...

"ye, waht times?"

"6pm?"

"yee, see u tehn :) "

"See you :D"

"<3"

Darryl smiled at Zak's last text and got up. He decided to dress casually, trying to do the opposite from the dream.

Even if it was a dream, it made him paranoid.

Hopefully, the dream would be proved wrong, but... only he knows.
