cliche as crap | zach herron ✓

0 5 3

zach had kissed others before. from jordan to chloe.. he had had his fair share of girlfriends— one he particularly regrets. their kisses were simply lip to lip contact. it's all he knew of, so he thought that's all kisses were. that the movies were just overacting it, exaggerating, even.

but with ami it was different— very different. he felt himself melt into the kiss, his stomach exploding with butterflies. instead of lust taking over him it was this unfamiliar, unexplainable feeling overtaking him. it was a sense of comfort, warmth.

being around her felt so natural. he was so comfortable around her, he wasn't afraid of judgement, of abandonment. there was commitment without confirmation.. but he wasn't afraid. he trusted her.

around her he was himself, 100% zach herron. it was a similar to feeling to being around the boys. the only difference was this foreign feeling driving him. he always found himself smiling around her. she brought out all the laughs in him.

she brought out the best in him.

ami on the other hand had never been in a romantic relationship before. the whole like-like thing was new to her. sure she's had crushes, but none of them were like this, none were of pure admiration. they were all kind of 'happy crushes'.

she also had celebrity crushes every now and then, but that was just physical attraction. the way they acted in interviews, their looks. their talents, but it was never serious.

she had never felt like this. 

her admiration for these simple crushes was a grain of sand compared to her feelings toward the rosy cheeked singer. with zach it was less external. she liked how he could always make her laugh, cheer her up.

with goofing around came all the serious moments, deep conversations. she allowed herself to be vulnerable. a rare sight for anyone but her aunt to see. she had a sense of solitude around him. talking to him had become second nature in such a short amount of time.

but he stole her first kiss. was that a good or a bad thing, though? he's cute, funny, respectful, polite, easy to talk to to, down to earth.. what's not there to lo- like? he was practically perfect for her, he lived up to all her standards..

but he took something so special from her. a kiss may seem like nothing to some but to ami it meant the world. she could never have her first kiss again, you know? she wasn't mad about it or anything.. she just had no clue whether or not is was a good thing.

her mind went in circles, contemplating and overthinking everything that had happened the past week. woah, it had only been a week. it like months of friendship to both ami and zach. they both got so comfortable so quickly, it was... nice?

they were both uncertain. but one thing was for sure, their friendship was genuine, so pure.

hAh friendship.. but they both wanted so much more.
