don't freak out

Jack enters the café with a small paper bag with Zach's clothes. He looks around until he finally finds him in the corner of the shop. He was fully focused on making his presentation.

He moves closer to him but gets interrupted by a girl who stops him.

"You work here, right?"

Jack nods.

"Okay, you're like the hot brother?"

"I'm the only brother... so yes?"

"Great." She smiles. "Do you have any socials -"

"I'm seeing someone." He points at a very clueless and still focused Zach. "he's my...uhm, my boyfriend." He lies. Not yet his boyfriend, but he's working towards it.

"Oh."She swallows in dryly. "I didn't know."

"Would you mind if I...?" He signs that he wants to be with Zach.

"G-Go ahead." She smiles awkwardly.

Jack excuses himself and goes up to Zach, who only now notices Jack.

"Hey." He smiles.

The curly head presses a chaste kiss on his lips. "Hey."

Zach blushes and covers his mouth. "So... bold." He mumbles.

Jack sets the bag of his clothes on the table. "Here, it's ironed and folded."

The brunet pauses. "Y-You... folded it?"

"Ava ironed your pants, and I uhm... folded your uhm... uhm, your underwear." He confesses, swallowing in dryly.

"You...folded my underwear." He repeats his words.

Jack nods.

"And you... looked at it." He continues.

"It was... uhm, surprising." He curses himself from choosing that word amongst all adjectives in the English lexicon. "I... didn't... I thought you... wore briefs." He tries to make it better.

Zach looks away, his face beet red. "It's comfortable to me. Does... uhm, does that bother you, or?"

More like turns me in a degenerative piece of a caveman who wants to -"No, not at all." He confirms. Jack suddenly chuckles. "I thought it was one of my sister's underwear because I fold them all."

Zach chuckles, a bit more relieved. "O-Oh... then it didn't like... affect you, right?"

Yes, it did. I want my lips to run miles on your skin. "It was a surprise, but nothing I can't handle." He reassures.

Zach nods. "Great. " He confirms. "I feel like you know a very personal detail about me, and now I should know a very personal detail about you."

Jack hums, thinking of something. "Oh, I have one." He smiles. "When my sisters and my mom aren't home, I walk around the house naked and eat cake."

Zach laughs loudly, drawing attention to them. He covers his mouth as he notices that everyone is looking at him.

"Naked?" He asks quietly.

Jack nods. "No crumbs on my shirt, because there's none."

Zach chuckles. "That's absurd, Jack."

"Does that make it even?" Jack questions. "I can tell you more."

"Does it involve eating other pastries while naked?" He jokes."I'll pass."

They laugh quietly.

Jack holds his hand. "When is our date?"
