love is a mess - jachary

KIKI, DO U LOVE ME?

it was 09:30 pm - the party has started for a while and jack was sitting on a sofa while everyone was dancing.
everything was fine until the dj plays a new song, but it wasn't that kind of song at which you act as you knew the lyrics while you actually don't. this one was a song that jack and zach knew well.

really well.

the song was...

mi gente.

which was nothing other than zach and jack's favourite song.
is that a fucking coincidence?!
jack didn't think so. he looks at zach - who was right across the room - and meets his glare.
the one that only zach got.
what does it mean? am i supposed to dance with him? does he-
zach biting his lips and raising his eyebrows cut jack away from his thoughts. his heart skipped a beat once. or maybe twice? he didn't know.
jack didn't care how many beats his heart skipped, the only thing matter was zach.
he just couldn't resist anymore. he picks up the pace, reducing the space that was separating him from zach.

igotyou.

zach was sure that jack couldn't resist.
but he was thinking so much that one more second and his brain would short circuit and blow up. he didn't know what would happen next.

" zach, it's our song. "

jack's voice startled zach, who was surprised that jack came right in front of him in such a short amont of time.

" i know you wouldn't resist, jack! "

" of could i do that?! "

zach laughs at his answer.

" c'mon, it's soon the chorus. "

zach knew what jack meant. he wanted him to make a dance battle as they used to do before and, in all sincerity, zach wanted it too.
he ends up smiling and starts the battle. they were finally having fun again and they were enjoying it. zach really missed jack's smile, and that sparkles in his eyes.

corbyn looks at jack and smiles when he sees him dancing with zach.
it was nice to see them together again.
apart from daniel who was antisocial and who didn't look at something other than his phone from the beginning, everything was good.
b

ut now it was slowdancing time, and corbyn looked forward to see what jack was going to do.
he decides to go to daniel, thinking that they could observe the scene together.

" hi, antisocial club, can i have daniel for a sec? "

the lattest rolls his ocean eyes and looks at corbyn. " so your plan works? " he asks.

" we're gonna see it now, look " answers corbyn while pointing at jack and zach.

" m'interesting " murmurs daniel once he has spotted them.

so it was slowdancing time.
on the one hand, jack didn't want to show his feelings but on the other hand, he really wanted to dance with zach. he looks at him and finally says almost inaudibly :

" uh... wannadancewithme? "

but it was loud enough for zach to hear him. he looks at jack surprised, his cheeks turning pink.
please say yes, begs him jack internally. he could feel his heart beating against his chest. but i wasn't nice with him recently, he thought.
which wasn't really wrong. zach could accept to dance with him, but he could turn away and leave jack alone in the middle of the crowd as well.
but jack was wishing that zach would go for the first option.

zach focus

he couldn't believe his hears - jack avery, alias the most indecisive person he knew, wanted to slowdance with him? it's a fucking joke.
zach blinked to ensure that what was happening was real. woah. for a few seconds, zach didn't really know what to do - what if jack would act like nothing happened the next day? he invited me, though. zach ends up taking jack's hand and follows him in the middle of the crowd.

jack places his hands on zach's neck instinctively, while zach passes his arms around him and tights his embrace, as if he wanted jack to stay with him forever.
the lattest sighs with relief and whispers in his ear " zach, i-i think i love you... "

and the music stopped, jack's words giving zach goosebumps.
oh my god did he just-

" why did you stop dancing, zach? "

the music actually didn't stop - zach just thought it because he was surprised of jack's sudden confession.
he even forgot to give an answer.

" zach, do you love me? " asks him jack, worried.

" kiki, do you love me? are you- "

" why the hell are you making jokes in such a moment? "

" don't forget you have zach herron in front of y- "

zach stops when he sees jack's face, aware that he'll kill him if he keeps saying stupid things.
he takes a deep breath and finally says " what a question, of course i do. "

zach barely got time to admire jack's smile that the lattest was coming closer to him. he could feel jack's breath now.
their lips were about to touch, but someone comes right at that fucking moment.

" you liar! "

corbyn matthew besson, i'll kill you, someday. zach knew that he wanted to help them, but why did he always have to come at the wrong moment?
W

E WERE ABOUT TO KISS, HOW CAN HE JUST COME LIKE THAT?!

OK, i went at the wrong time.

and it was an understatement, corbyn has literally ruined the best of the party. now, the atmosphere between jack and zach was too awkward because of him. corbyn decided to take a drink quickly, because considering the way zach was looking at him, he better leave.

04:45 am.

daniel focus

daniel saw jack and zach, earlier.
he tried to hold corbyn back but the lattest didn't listen to him and went to bother them anyway. such a fool, thought daniel. a fool who was right, though - corbyn may have ruined his own plan, but he still proved to jonah and daniel that he was right about the fact that there was something between jack and zach. but daniel was worried for the latter - jack's indecisiveness could make him suffer sooner or later...
