Chapter 27- gbomb

[ty all for 5k, i love you all<33]

Zach pushed his glasses up his nose, and scrunched up his nose in an attempt to keep them in place. He was bent over the back corner table in the public library, working on a sketch.

Zach was an art major in his second year of college, he specialized in pencil drawings and oil pastels. He wasn't that popular among the other students at his college, mostly due to the fact he was very shy and didn't participate in clubs or sports. 

He felt a light tap on his shoulder blade, his face immediately turned red and he covered his paper hastily with both hands. He turned his head around cautiously and blushed deeper. The person who'd tapped him was a fellow student at his college named Liam.

Liam wasn't crazy popular, but he was well known around school. The girls knew him as one of the only guys at the college with a full beard, and the guys knew him as one of the best golfers in the college golf program.

Liam adjusted his baseball cap and smiled warmly at Zach. "Zach, right?" he asked. "What're you drawing?"

Zach coughed, and turned back around to his sketch to avoid Liam's eyes. "N-nothing." he whispered.

"Hey, you okay man?" Liam asked, and sat in the chair next to Zach, making him flinch. "Is your drawing bad or something, because you don't have to show me."

Zach gulped, and said in a slightly louder voice. "I don't think it's necessarily bad, it's just kind of embarrassing."

Liam put a hand on Zach's shoulder and stood up as he did so. "No problem, dude."

Liam was a few steps around when Zach spoke up "You can see it. I changed my mind."

Liam furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, but came back to peer over Zach's shoulder at the sketch. Pictured in the drawing was Liam himself, sitting at one of library's tables reading a thick book. Zach had somehow managed to capture the twinkle in Liam's eyes and the exact way he bit his lip as he read. 

Liam was silent, causing Zach to fear that he would be creeped out or even angry. Quite on the contrary, Liam's face split into a smile. "It's amazing." he breathed, and met Zach's hopeful eyes, holding them there for a comfortable pause of silence.
