absolute dork

Zach washes his face in the sink as Jack has a quick shower. He does his skin care, making sure to rub in some sunscreen as well.

Jack comes out of the shower, wearing a towel around his waist, and gives his butt a little smack. "Jack!" Zach squealed. After all, how could he resist it? Zach was leaning over the counter so nicely.

"Nice butt, beautiful." He presses a kiss onto his shoulder and goes to the bedroom, leaving Zach a blushing mess.

The brunet puts some concealer on his neck to cover the love bites he gave him and takes it as a chance to put some under his eyebags. He blends everything out with a sponge. Then, he curls his lashes and puts some mascara and some lip oil on his lips.

"Jack, I still have to hide your hickeys." He reminds him.

The curly head enters the bathroom wearing some sweatpants and socks. He smiles softly when he sees Zach. "Hey, pretty." He greets him.

Zach tugs him closer and quickly hides all the love bites he has given him. "We have to find better spots to give each other hickeys." He sighs.

Jack pouts. "But I like giving you hickeys. You look so pretty with them." He rests his hands on his waist.

"Maybe somewhere a bit more hidden? That way, we could still have them, but only we'd know." He suggests.

"You, Zachary Dean Herron, master of Classics and English, are an absolute genius." He kisses him before they burst out laughing.

The two finish getting ready, and Zach does his check out. They sit on the lobby on a small couch, waiting for everyone to be ready.

"Oh right, I totally have something of yours." Jack looks for it on his pockets.

"What is it?" He questions worriedly.

"This." He gives him a kiss."You told me to hold onto it."

Zach smiles. "You're an absolute dork."

"Yeah, but I'm your dork." He proudly shows him the ring in his finger.

"Actually, you begged to be my dork." He teases.

"I didn't beg." He scoffs.

"Sure thing." He replies sarcastically.

After politely asking a kind soul to swap seats with Jack, the couple sat together in the airplane. The two held hands throughout take off, neither enjoying the turbulence very much. Once the seatbelt lights were off, they loosened their belts, and Jack drapped his arm around his shoulders.

Zach presses a kiss onto his cheek. "Are you sleepy, Jack?"

He hums.

"Lie on my shoulder instead, I'm gonna work a bit on my computer." He takes out his laptop.

Jack nods and nuzzles into the crook of his neck. "Hey, Zach?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna go on a date tomorrow?" He asks quietly so as not to disturb the other person by Zach's side.

"Of course. Where do you wanna go?" He asks sweetly.

He shrugs. "Anywhere is fine, really."

Zach kisses his head. "What if we went to the park and saw where things take us from there?"

"I like it." He smiles. "Tomorrow's gonna be very hot outside."

"Another reason for us to hang and keep cool together."

Jack hums affirmatively. "It's a date then." He nuzzles into his shoulder. He falls asleep on his shoulder in a matter of seconds as Zach types rhythmically on his laptop. He writes a whole chapter during the flight home.
