Atlas's pov:
We had just gotten back home from picking up Zack
We were all hang out in the living room spread out on the two couches Zack and me on one and Emily on the other
"Well what do you guys want to do?" I say
"I don't mind, it's whatever you guys want to do." Emily replies
"We could watch a movie." Zack says picking up the remote
"That's okay, what should we watch?" I say getting up from my seat ready to go into the kitchen to prepare some snacks
"Do you guys want to watch a scary movie?" Zack says
Me and Emily nod our heads in agreement and I make my way to the kitchen grabbing an assortment of snacks and putting them onto the counter
Grabbing a snack tray and a bowl for popcorn
I see Emily entering the kitchen "Do you want any help?" She asks softly
"You can put the snacks in the tray while I grab the drinks if you'd like." I responding heading over to the fridge and grabbing a few different types of sodas and juices
She nods her head and makes her way to the counter separating the snacks nicely and proportionately
Once we get done we make our way back to the living room placing the assortment of items onto the coffee table and taking our seats on the couch facing the TV
Emily on the left of me and Zack on the right
Zack plays the movie and we see the word "Halloween" pop up in bold letters
We all grab the snacks we want and get comfortable
•••
The movie just ended and the credits are being rolled, Emily had fallen asleep on my shoulder and Zack had fallen asleep in my lap
I'm trapped and I have to pee.
I slowly move Zack off of me and put him in a sitting up position and I gently move Emily's head placing it on the arm of the chair
I get up and make my way to the bathroom down the hall from the living room
I shut the door, do my business, and wash my hands. Opening the door again I'm met with Zack on the other side
"You left me." He says with a small frown on his face
"Sorry, I had to use the bathroom." I say turning the light off and shutting the door behind me
"Mhm, next time just take me with you." He says playfully before turning on his heels and making his way back to the living room and I follow
"Can I stay here tonight? I don't feel like going home" He says softly
I feel bad for Zack, he's almost always alone. He has no friends expect me and ever since he moved out of his parents house he's dropped contact with them
He even has his own room over here for this reason
"Of course, you know where your room is." I say pointing to the room down the hall
He thanks me and makes his way over to his room, opening the door and shutting it behind him.
I walk back into the living room and start cleaning up the mess we all made, taking the snacks, empty cans, and dishes into the kitchen
I start throwing away the trash and start washing the dishes
Once I finish with that I go back to the living room seeing that Emily is now spread out along the couch covered with a blanket and a pillow put under her head
"She seemed really uncomfortable early so I wanted to make sure she was comfortable." I hear Zack say behind me
I turn to face him and nod my head towards my bedroom, he takes that as a sign and leads the way
We enter the room and I close the door behind us
"Have you decided yet?" I say
"I mean, I'd really enjoy living here with you Atlas. Maybe living here will help me more than I think." He says making his way over to my bed
I follow as we both make our way to the headboard and lean onto it
"But I also don't want to be a burden to you, living is expensive and life is unpredictable. I don't want to be the reason any trouble comes your way."
"You wouldn't be and whatever issues come our way we'll solve together." I say
"I suppose, but just to make sure do you promise it's okay?"
"I promise Zack. There's no doubt in my mind." I say resting my head against his
He smiles before laying down facing me and I follow his actions doing the same
"Thank you so much, for everything you've done for me." He says softly with a smile on his face
"Always." I say before I let the darkness take over and my eyes close entirely.
