Tomdaya One Shots

I Want to be Close to You

Airports suck, or at least today they do.

Tom was leaving to film for Chaos Walking, and Zendaya decided to go with him to the airport. She wanted him to stay with her in LA, but she knew that he had to go to work, and there wasn't anything she could do to stop him.

Zendaya had been trying to build up the courage to tell Tom how she really felt. It was hard, especially since she didn't even know if Tom liked her back.

She wanted to wait for the perfect moment to tell him, but when is that going to be now that he is going to being filming for probably the next 4 months? 5 months? 6 months?!

6 months sounds like torture.

"Hey, I'm going."

Z looked up and saw him getting his bag. She got up as well not wanting him to go.

"Man, I really wish you didn't have to leave."

Tom looked at her, smiled, and said,"I'll come back in a bit, maybe, for a quick visit. How does that sound?"

It sounded horrible, having to wait for him to come back. However, Z wasn't going to act upset as he was about to leave, so she smiled and nodded.

Tom smiled back. "Good, I'll call you once I'm off the plane, yeah?"

"Yeah."

Zendaya pulled Tom into a hug wrapping both her arms around his neck. He wrapped his right arm around her waist ( he was holding his bag in the his left hand) for a brief moment to hug her back.

He let go first taking Z's right hand and giving it a little squeeze. He finally started walking to the back of the line with people waiting to get on the plane. As Tom was walking off, Zendaya couldn't help, but feel as though she had to confess to him.

The words kept replaying in her head.

"You have to tell him. Who knows how long he'll be gone. Just go to him and say it."

Suddenly, Zendaya felt her feet guiding her towards Tom. She felt confident, like nothing could stop her from doing what she was about to do.

She caught up to him and shouted his name. He turned around, and Zendaya had finally reached him.

"Tom, I...uh."

She choked. Infront of Tom. Why couldn't she just say it? What happened to all her strength and confidence that she just had a moment ago? Zendaya was trying to speak. She was, but something holding her back. Z couldn't decided which one it was.

Worry or Fear.

Worried about Tom not liking her back or fear of their relationship going downhill.

Tom, seeing Z looking down at the ground and not saying anything, took her hand in his. "What, Z?"

Zendaya looked up and stared at him, trying to figure out what was wrong with her. "I...um...I just. I wanted to sa-."

"Wanted to say what?"

"I..."

Tom tilted his head a little trying to figure out what she was trying to say.

"Z, listen, I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm about to miss my flight", said Tom with a little laugh at end just to be prove he didn't want to sound mean.

Z put her hands on her head. "I-I know, I just... I'm trying... I can't reall-."

"What? Whatever you have to say, just say it. I'm won't judge you."

"Well, you might..."

Tom asked,"What do you mean? What are you afraid of telling me?"

"I'm afraid... I-."

Zendaya finally closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened them and looked into Tom's eyes. She was hesitant at first, but decided that it was time to realize the truth.

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you don't feel the same way about me as I do about you."

She didn't need to go into detail about what she meant. The shocked expression on Tom's face said it all. He knew. He knew, and there was no taking it back. She looked down and covered her head in her hands.

"I know, I'm sorry. I told myself to not feel this way, and I do. I should've told you sooner. I know, and now you're going on a plane. We can't even talk about thi-."

"Z."

She looked and realized just how close they actually were to each other.

With his face literally 2 inches away from hers, he said,"We don't need to talk to about it."

Finally gaining some courage, Zendaya closed the space between them and pressed her lips to his. He brought his right hand up to her face deepening the kiss just a little more. After a few seconds, they both broke apart with their foreheads just barely touching. They both still had their eyes closed taking in everything that just happened.

Tom pulled back just a tiny bit, letting his thumb stroke Zendaya's cheek with his eyes still closed. He smiled and looked down.

"That was..."

Z laughed a little and looked down as well. "Late?"

"Yeah."

They both laughed. Tom finally stopped and brought his hand down. He looked at her dreamily and said,"Listen, if you want, after I'm done filming, do you want to possibly go on a date?"

Zemdaya smiled and said,"Yeah, I would love to."

"Okay, cool. I should really go though before they leave without me."

"Yeah, you should."

Tom walked off to the worker seeing the long line is not there anymore.

He turned around walking backwards, pointed at Zendaya. "I'll... call you later?"

"Uh, yeah, sure."

He grinned and waved at her as if saying good bye. Z walked away as well.

She turned around for a split second and whispered,"See ya later, Tom."

Zendaya finally walked away smiling to herself and replaying the perfect moment in her head.
