SOMETHING LIKE THE SUN the one about a summer babysitting job, an overly affectionate older brother, one too many cones of ice cream, and the warmest summer that zach's experienced all his life.

ROUGH SUMMARY zach's parents were deployed for nearly two months due to work (their probably field engineers or reporters idk) and they had to leave behind zach and their 6 year old daughter, reese (could be renamed) with their aunt and uncle who are also pretty busy. thankfully, their aunt and uncle had a kind neighbor who they ask to watch over reese during their work hours.
SCENES/PLOT IDEAS - reese falling in love with ofc and zach watching them play with legos or reenact scenes from star wars - zach falling in love with ofc too lmao - zach and ofc walking reese to the park and helping her onto the slides and stuff - ofc staying in the house too late sometimes when the aunt & uncle were out, watching over reese and zach sitting next to her until they eventually feel asleep on each other's shoulders - the little girl's pet fish died and they buy her a new one in a pet store before the little girl could find out (they eventually tell her the truth bc they talk about honesty) but their trip to the pet store had lots of detours (e.g. recordshop and they find out they're p similar) - maaaany park dates pls and they eventually go to the park just the two of them (if the aunt & uncle are home to watch reese ofc) - a parade or carnival (just something fun) comes to town and they bring reese there - zach and reese being cute - title from yellow by tyler the creator
