have a safe trip

The alarm clock on Jack's phone rang loudly, waking the couple up. Zach was the first to wake up. He hums and stretches to snooze the stupid alarm.

He shakes Jack awake, who hums. He blinks as he takes in his surroundings. "Babe? Are you okay?" His voice is thick with sleep.

Zach hums affirmatively. "The alarm." He explains.

Jack whines deep in his throat and tugs him to his chest. "Five more minutes." He pleads.

The brunet presses kisses onto his face as a way of waking him up. Jack chuckles quietly as he allows him to continue. Zach hums. "I'll miss you a lot."

"We'll call every day." Jack reassures.

"So I can bother you?" The two chuckle.

Jack wraps his arms around him and tugs him to his chest. "Please, bother the crap out of me." He hums.

The two chuckle.

"I'll send you lots of pictures." He kisses his cheek. "And I'll get some cute stuff for your mom, too."

Jack grabs his face and presses his lips onto his. "You're so freaking cute." He mumbles in between kisses. "I get jealous, I should be in your head more often than my mom is." He hums.

"Who says you're not?" He questions. "I'm gonna bring you the best gifts."

The curly head smiles, I love you, and the alarm clock rings again.

"Alright, time to get up." Zach pats his chest twice and sits up on the bed.

Jack turns on the bedside table light and looks at his lover. Zach was kneeling on the bed, legs open wide as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. His thighs spilt out of the shorts beautifully. His shirt fell magnificently on his body, allowing Jack to have a privileged view of his collarbones.

There's no way he's going to London without a hickey on his neck. I want everyone to know he's taken. Jack grabs him by the wrist and tugs him back to his chest.

After concealing the four love bites on his neck, Jack drove him to the airport, a content look on his face. Zach checked himself out on his mirror.

"I'm gonna have to hide this all week long." He whines as he moves around to check whether it's noticeable or not.

"Oh no..."Jack smiles as he proudly wore the two love bites on his own neck. Sure, they sort of looked like two little mosquito bites because Zach had never given hickeys to anyone, but hey, it's the thought that counts.

The brunet nudges him lightly as blush makes its way onto his features.

The two enter the airport, and Jack leads him up until he's allowed. Zach turns to him and holds his other hand, his suitcase by his side.

"Text me as soon as you land." Jack requests.

"I will." He reassures. "And I'll text you when I get to the hotel and when I get out and when I get back in the hotel."

The two chuckle. Jack cups his face. "Exactly. I want you back home in one piece, and with that pretty smile on your face."

Zach nods excitedly. "I'll put all my efforts towards it, boss." He salutes him, and the two laugh.

Jack hugs him tightly. "Send me lots of pictures and keep me updated." He pleads.

"Jack, I'll be fine, I'm a grown-up." He chuckles. "I can take care of myself, and I know all about stranger danger."

The curly head cups his face again. Gosh, I love him so much. "Come back to me. I need you." He says quietly.

Zach nods. "I will." He reassures. "Hold this for me, okay?" Zach gives him a loving kiss. "I'll come back for it next week."
