Summary: Zach puts him back together
3rd Person POV
His chest rose and fell quickly as the frozen pooled boy sat on thei- his- his bed. His heart was pounding and it wouldn't stop. Fingers locking in his dyed blonde locks, tears rolling down his cheeks, vision blurred by the water. He grabbed his phone, blindly going to a contact." Hey, Corbyn. What's up? Are you done shopping?" Zach's cheerful tone filled his ears." Z-Z-Zach, I-I n-ne-need... h-hel-help." He chocked out, voice raspy." Bean are you okay? Why are you stuttering so much? And why do you need help? Where's Jonah?" The male on the other end asked, concern becoming clear." Jo-Joan ch-heat... we bro-oke. Zachy, please." He somehow whimpered those two words coherently. The youngest felt his eyes go wide, there was something about the way he said them. There was this hopelessness in his voice, almost as if he were lost." Me and the boys will be there in ten minutes. Just stay calm and lay down, please don't do anything you'll regret." After getting the bleached blonde's confirmation he hung up." Dani! Jack! We need to go." He said urgently, causing both to look at him instead of the shirt the second youngest held in his hands." What? Why? Is something wrong?" Despite his questions he began putting the article of clothing back." It's Corbyn, something happened. He needs us." The brunette explained." What about Joan? He usually helps Corbs out." Daniel questioned, brow furrowing." I think they had a fight." Zach responded." But they never fight... we need to leave. Now." Jack realized." 1000%, call an uber Z. We need to get home asap." The oldest of their trio agreed, the youngest brunette ordered one as they made their way to the main entrance.~ 10 Minutes Later ~
The three boys raced into the house with Zach in the lead. He pushed the door open and one thing caught his eyes instantly. Where the hell is Jonah? He would never leave Bean, especially not when he having a panic attack. He pushed that away making a mental note to ask his best friend later. He rushed to his side, pulling Corbyn from his cocoon of sadness and into his lap. The blonde buried his face into the crook of his neck. Jack and Daniel sitting on either side. Leaning into the pair. Zach played with their interlocked fingers, resting his head on distraught boy's. It took a few minutes, but the frost blonde began to calm down. His breathing slowed and his heated face cooled." Can you tell us what happened, baby?" Jack questioned gently." I-I went to the sto-store to get food and when I got b-back I heard g-groan-ing. S-so I went in m-my room a-and...", his voice cracked as he trailed off, Zach ran his fingers through his soft hair." It's okay, love. Take your time." He cooed, kissing his sweaty forehead." A-and J-Jo-nah was f-fucking Eben in our b-bed." He whimpered, even more tears pooling in his crystal blue eyes." I'm going to fucking kill him." Jack growled, voice rough with anger. The two youngest brunette's had been best friends with the faux blonde since elementary school." I-I... I don't even know what to say." Daniel was stunned, his ocean-colored pools wide." Your best friend broke my Bean's heart. Jack we're killing him." Zach said through gritted teeth, his free hand clenching." Damn straight we are. He's a dead man walking." The curly-haired brunette spat.

Corbyn's POV
The only brown-eyed boys in their former quintet had blocked Jonah from Corbyn's phone after laying into him and threatening to end his life if he ever came close to their Bean again. The only reason they hadn't already murdered him was because his ex-boyfriend had convinced them there was no point. Now, said boy was laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The frozen pooled male had barely left his room in the 3 weeks since he ended things with Jonah. He felt lost, he and the brunette had been together since the first year of high school. He had been so sure they would last forever, that he would always be by his side. Now he was gone and Corbyn didn't know what to do." Love? Can I come in?" Zach knocked softly, the faux blonde didn't bother looking at the door." Yeah." He answered, voice emotionless. The youngest entered, walking over to his bed." Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked sitting beside him." Lost." He saw the brunette bite his lip in his peripheral vision." Okay, that's normal." He nodded, scooting up until his back was pressed against the headboard." How is that normal?" His voice was colder than it usually was when addressing the smaller." Well, you and your ex had been together since freshmen year. And then you just... broke up. I can only imagine what that must feel like." He comforted, laying his hand on top of Corbyn's." Don't try to act like you know how I feel." He muttered, glaring at the appendage." You have no clue what it feels like to have the love of your life cheat on you. You have no idea how much it hurt when I walked in on him fucking my friend, two people I trusted, I cared about. And they betrayed me. You have no idea what I'm going through." Tears rolled down his cheeks, the pain in his voice thick." You're right, I don't know, but I do know how it feels to lose my best friend. To have the kid I've been known since 1st grade turn into this... this completely different person over night." Corbyn finally looked at him, pale eyes dark." Don't let Jonah's mistake change you. Don't make me and Jack lose our brother. Corbyn, don't leave me." He begged, the bleached blonde shook his head." It's so hard, Zachy. I miss him." He whimpered." I know and you should, but he's the one who lost out, he lost you. Why should you punish yourself for a mistake you didn't make?" More moisture wet his blue pools." Hold me, please." His voice broke and he wasn't far behind." Come here."~ 2 Months Later ~
The bleached blonde was sitting on their couch wrapped up in his favorite galaxy blanket. Watching a comedy." We're heading out, babe. Are you sure you don't wanna come? You haven't left the house since you and Joan broke up." Daniel's voice was soft as he leaned down to kiss the older's forehead." I thought we all agreed to never say his name again!" Jack yelled from the kitchen, his shadow beginning to enter the living room. The bleached blonde felt a smile curve his lips, I love those two." No, I'm okay." He answered softly." Bean are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" The curly-haired 21 year old asked, running his fingers through the plush, blonde locks of the eldest." No, you two go out and have fun. I can't put your relasionship on hold because Jon-", he began." What did we promise?!" Zach demanded plopping on the sofa next to him." My ex messed up and besides, I need you two love birds to give the motivation to date again." He explained, resting his head on the shoulder of the smallest when he was pulled closer." Alright, have fun you two." Jack gave each a kiss on the cheek before grabbing Daniel's hand and leaving." So, what are we gonna do?" Zach wondered, looking to the larger boy." I just wanna cuddle and watch movies." Corbyn responded, climbing into his lap." Fine, but let me get comfy first, okay?" He chuckled, moving to the corner of the L-shaped couch." Come here, love." He opened his arms and the bleached blonde sat on his thighs without hesitation. Pulling his cover over them. He nuzzled his cheek into Zach's chest smiling when he felt lips against his forehead." I wanna real kiss." He pouted, puckering his lips. Mud-colored pools rolled fondly, before he leaned in and pressed a soft, sweet kiss to his pink lips. Corbyn returned it gently, kissing Z feels really good. His cheeks grew warm at the thought, they pulled away slowly. Zach's eyes were soft as he looked at him." I don't know what that idiot was thinking when he gave you up."

" I'm ready to start dating again." Corbyn admitted softly." Really?! Bean that's great!" Jack jumped at him, hugging his best friend tightly. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around the younger." J's right, I thought it would take a little more time. Do you know how you wanna start?" Daniel smiled, pools of ocean water sparkling." Well... I kinda already know who I wanna date." He casted his gaze away shyly, cheeks heating up." Oooo, Corby has a crush." Jack cooed teasingly, the affectionate smile he gave the blonde reassuring him." Who is it?" The second eldest wondered." Zach." He mumbled, the curly-haired brunette looked at him with huge eyes." No way, Please tell me you said who I think you said?" He gasped, voice hopeful." I think I like Zach." He repeated louder." Yes!" Jack jumped form his lap and fist pumped the air." Do you guys think he likes me back?" The tallest inquired nervously." Are you kidding me? Have you seen the way he looks at you? You have to tell him, now." The second smallest said happily, jumping up and down." He's right, you know? You should tell him." Daniel smirked." O-okay, yeah... yeah, you guys are right." A small smile curved at the frost blonde's lip." Right about what?" Zach asked as he made his way down the steps. Using the towel in his hands to dry his wet hair. Corbyn stood and walked over, meeting him at the bottom." This." He leaned in and captured the brunette's lips in a soft kiss. One that he returned almost instantly. It was different than the first one they had shared, they pulled away after a few seconds." What was that for?" He chuckled." I really like you, Zachy. I wanna be with you." Rather than answering the oldest he dropped his towel and pulled him in by his hips. Smashing their lips together, while his arms worked their way around his neck. The damp-haired young adult snaked his own around the faux blonde's waist, smiling into the sweet kiss.
