You and Zach had been dating for about eight months now, and your relationship was going really well. You both attended school online and you went over to his house everyday where you do your classes together. You and Zach had been best friends for years before you began dating, both growing up in the same town, living down the road from eachother.
When Zach had began his career touring and such with IMPACT in 2015, you stayed back home, and that was when you first realised you liked him. You didn't realise how much you had needed him till he left, and that was when you realised you liked him. You depended on him and when he wasn't there you felt empty, you had realised you were his only real friend, and his yours. You spent every day waiting for the dismissal bell to call, waiting for 5:37 pm, just after meet and greets but before the show, so you and Zach could FaceTime and hear all about the others day. Then you had realised how much he pays attention to every little detail of what you are saying and you had realised you not just liked him, you really liked him. After what felt like forever, he came back from tour and there you were waiting at the airport for him, so that when saw you him, you could be the first one to hug him. The butterflies erupted in your stomach and he had kissed you, then moved back really quickly, turning away, embarrassed of what he had just done. His hands covered over his face and he began apologising. You laughed and removed his hands, and you hugged him again.

Eight months ago, about a year and a half after the first kiss, you and Zach had gone out on your first proper date. You two had kissed many times after, but never actually confirmed being in a relationship with eachother, but Zach had wanted to change that. He took you out, where you went to a pier and rode on the Ferris wheel. As cliche as it seems, that's where you two became a couple; and that's where you were right now, cuddled up with Zach, looking at the ocean as he played with your hair.

"Hey Y/n," he whispers, not wanting to ruin the moment.
"Yes Zach?" You reply, turning your head to look up at him.
"Did I ever tell you how I felt the first time we kissed? The time we became a couple? Did I ever tell you my side of the story?" He asks, making you really think about it, retracing the past two years trying to remember him telling you his side of the story.
"No." You whisper. "I don't think you did." He looks down at you and smiles, intertwining your hands, bringing yours up to his lips and kissing them before beginning.

"When I first left you, when me and the IMPACT boys went on tour, I just became so sad. I remember being told by Weston and Jack that you're my best friend and it's normal to miss your best friend, and I had tried to believe them. But then the nights that I couldn't sleep, the nights that's all I thought about was you, I had realised that it wasn't just friendship anymore. A least for me it wasn't.
"I had told all the boys all about you, whether they were listening or not." He stopped for a second and laughed a little. You laugh a little too, thinking of younger Zach blabbering on about you.

"When it came to the end of tour though, I was too excited. Yeah I thought about the fans and all but there was one person I really wanted to see. So the day we got on a plane and I was flying back home, I was so excited. I got nervous too. When I say you again Y/n, I saw a whole new side of you, one that I didn't really realise I had seen the whole time. I saw the you I was in love with. You looked absolutely beautiful that day, as you do everyday. I was counting down the seconds I could hug you,those few seconds after we had first seen eachother again. As soon as you were in my arms, I had felt as though it wasn't enough and I just did it. I kissed you. I didn't really realise what I had done or was thinking til I had done it, and then I thought that was it. That you didn't feel that way and you'd leave. So I apologised, I apologised so much that sorry didn't sound like a word anymore. Honestly, I was so ashamed with myself, disappointed even. But you hugged me. I thought it was like you had friend zoned me, but I didn't care because it still meant I'd have you, that you wouldn't leave in disgust or embarrassment.
"It took me so long to get the guts to actually ask you on a date, and when I did, I was so happy you said yes. I went home and told jack all about it. The amount of times he almost ripped his own hair out from hearing too much about you. Now he doesn't mind it though and he knows he'll never stop hearing about you. But that day, the day we went on our date, I knew I had to officially make you mine. Yeah we had kissed times before and stuff but it still wasn't enough. Y/n, that night I asked you to be my girlfriend and I don't think you could - anyone ever could fully understand ow nervous I was, but then you said yes. And to this day, every time we kiss or anytime you say yes, I get the same nervous feeling in my stomach as the first time. Y/n you're the reason I get nervous. Y/n. You give me butterflies.
