Zak's POV
Bad's birthday was a month ago. Quick recap. I thought of making that day special, since he's my best friend and all, but I went a bit overboard...
That day I had a whole thing planned; get up early to deliver him breakfast at his house where I would also give him his gift, play the video game of his choice for a bit at his house, then meet up with everyone for lunch where we would go to the arcade and such afterwards, packing his favourite foods for dinner where we would have at the park as a picnic, then for the grand finale, once it got dark, I would set off some fireworks I had found at the store months prior.
It was the perfect plan. Everything was perfect and Bad was having the best time! Until it was time for the fireworks. Apparently you're supposed to get a permit for setting off fireworks in a public property... I got a ticket and we had to pack up.
But! Aside from that Bad said he had an amazing time, and that's all that matters.—
Fast forward and it's now May. Our school is hosting a spring dance, which I don't have a date for yet... or at all.
It'll be fine though, I have my friends! Plus, I dont need a date to have fun, right?I walk down the stairs, my mom standing at the bottom, her phone in hand grinning wildly. "My baby looks so handsome!" She squeals, taking a hundred photos a second as I'm still walking down the stairs.
I tried my best to look as good as I can. I'm not used to dressing up nice, and barely do, but I thought I may as well have fun with it.I roll my eyes, trying to hold back a smile as I get downstairs. I hold my hand in from of my face in embarrassment. She giggles softly. "Ok, ok I'll stop." She says teasingly, putting down her phone and walking over. She looks at me with a smile, adjusting my shirt collar. "I'm so proud of you." She whispers, hugging me tight.
I sit there in the living room nervously with my mom as I wait for Clay to come pick me up. Him and George were obviously going together, but said he'd give me a ride anyways.
We soon make it to school, meeting up with everyone else. The body heat of a wave of teens crashes over me as we enter the gym. Music blaring, people yelling, laughing, singing along, dancing, the works. The gym is dimly lit with a couple of those moving light laser machines illuminating whatever the beams hit.
My heart begins to race as we find Bad and the others. I wave, my smile widening. "Zak!" He calls out to me over the music. He grabs my hand, pulling me out to the dance floor. Never in my time of knowing him have I seen him dance. I laugh and dance along as I watch him make an absolute fool of himself.
The night drags on. We dance for what feels like minutes but was probably hours before I have to tap out, walking out of the gym to take a break from all the loud noises and flashing lights. I sigh softly, taking a deep breath as I lean up against the wall, my head leaning back as I briefly close my eyes to compose myself. I breathe heavily, smiling to myself as the images of Bad dancing and having the time of his life flash through my head. My heart rate begins to pick up before I'm able to catch myself. My eyes shoot open. Stupid stupid stupid! I huff, pacing back and forth in the school halls.I've been having more and more thoughts like that recently. Catching myself thinking about Bad a little too much. Smiling to myself. My heart racing at the mere thought of him. I'm screwed.
The gym door opens, letting out blaring music and colourful lights before it closes. "There you are." Bad's voice fills the silent hallway. I look over, smiling softly as he walks over. "You ok?" He gives me a look of concern. "I'm fine" I sign. Giving him a reassuring smile. "Good, because I have something to show you." He gives me a devious smirk, letting me know he has something planned before pulling me out of the school's exit. The cool night air hits my face as we step out into darkness. I allow him to guide me to whatever it was he wanted to show me, giving him my undivided attention. It's only then, when we start trudging through a clearing of trees I get curious.His hand squeezes mine in excitement as we get to a large pond. The stars glimmer, reflecting off of the water. There's faint sounds of frogs in the distance, and ducks peacefully floating on the calm water. I take a breath of the fresh air as I take a seat in the soft grass at the side of the pond. Bad soon joining me.
"I found this place last week and thought it would be nice to bring you at night when it's the most peaceful." He speaks in a soft tone just above a whisper, as if he's scared of disrupting the peace all around us."You know" He speaks up again. "Ever since I met you... I've given up on this whole soulmate thing." He looks over at me, his deep green eyes shining with unspoken words. "The time I've spent with you is the happiest I've ever been." He lets out a deep shaky breath. "I don't care about my soulmate anymore... as long as I'm with you I'm with my soulmate as far as I'm concerned." His voice gradually gets quieter the more he speaks with undertones of nervousness. My heart races, almost beating out of my chest as I try to act calm.
He turns his whole body to me, now sitting facing me. I do the same, sitting there anxiously, looking down at my hands that rest in my lap. "It's ok if you don't think the same way-" He begins. I look back up at him, our eyes meeting.
I do feel the same, Bad. I do! I do!
I internally scream at myself as I sit there, trying my best not to act nervous. He notices my hands trembling, taking them in his with a reassuring smile.My whole body begins to tremble now as he starts to lean closer and closer. What is he doing?! My breath hitches nervously, making him realize his mistake. His eyes widen. "I- I'm sorry, Zak." He laughs nervously, slowly taking his hands away from mine. I frown at the loss of contact, shaking my head as I look between him and my now empty hands. Our faces stay mere inches apart, neither of us too scared to make a move. "Would you... be mad if I..." He whispers hesitantly, knowing that I know what he's trying to do. I shake my head. Of course not! He lets out a nervous breath before leaning all the way in, gently connecting our lips in a kiss.
My heart races beyond belief, my stomach turning with anxiety as I carefully kiss back. The kiss was short, at least a couple of seconds, but it felt like forever. My whole body felt light, like an enormous weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Our lips disconnect as we slowly pull away. "I love you..." I mumble under my breath, shocked and in disbelief of what just happened. I watch as Bad's eyes widen. "W-what?!" I get nervous, his face showing no joy, just shock. "I-" I cut myself off. My voice actually came out of my mouth! For the first time in almost two years! "Zak!" Bad laughs, grabbing my arm to reveal an infinite sign where my number of words should be.
"Bad!" I yell back in happiness, startling the ducks on the pond. We wrap our arms around each other, holding one another as tight as we could. Those three words, the words that ruined my life... They were the first words I had said to my real soulmate... and I couldn't be happier.
