That night, Zach slept round at Jonah's house. It wasn't that he was invited to stay, (although Jonah did tell him over and over again that he was always welcome) he stayed because it was getting dark and he was worried that he would get lost if he walked home by himself because his eyesight seemed to get worse when there was limited light.

Jonah would have offered to drop him off, but as he explained, he had been drinking before Zach arrived  and He wasn't one to break rules, especially with the responsibility if his kid.

So here Zach was, sleeping on the sofa in the living room with a small blanket pulled over him. It took him a while to get to sleep, but now he was sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

He slept better than he had in months. For some reason he felt like he was home when he stayed here than when he was sleeping in his own bed. He felt...  Safe? Well, safer her than anywhere else.

Jonah was a good cook. Zach woke to the smell of bacon, which made him overwhelmingly happy. He loved bacon but didn't get it often as his parents preferred not to cook in the mornings. The teenager got up from his resting place and stumbled on the direction of the kitchen.

He was almost at the door when his foot hit something hard, making him fall to the floor with a loud thud. He let out a groan, noticing a familiar silhouette standing in front of him, wearing a flower covered apron. "good morning Zach," he smiled, holding an arm out the the teenager, who took it, great fully being pulled up by it.

"morning," Zach said as Jonah kicked the toy that he had tripped over out of the way.

"I'll give you your breakfast and then you can get ready for school." Jonah said, guiding him by the shoulder to the table before putting a bacon sandwich in front of him. Zahc had told him what time he needed to get to school by, and it turned out to fit perfectly into Jonah's schedule.

Jonah showed Zach upstairs to the bathroom so Zach could have a shower, after they had finished their breakfast. "i'll just go and get  some spear underwear for you," Jonah said, turning around, about to walk out of the room, but Zach grabbed onto his wrist. Zach didn't know what sudden impulse made the words come out of his mouth, but he was glad they did.

"Can you shower with me?" he said quietly. Jonah turned round and put his hands on Zach's waist.

"Is that what you want baby?" Jonah whispered in his ear, causing Zach's breath to become shuddery. He nodded quickly, Letting Jonah's hands travel to the waistband of his too-big pair of sweatpants he had borrowed and slip them off. Jonah urged Zach to do the same with his, so he did.

Once they had both been stripped of their clothes, Jonah ran his hands across Zach's body, whilst they were waiting for the water to become warm. "you're so beautiful, darling," Jonah whispered, his hands running over every inch of his torso. Zach smiled, hopping in the shower after Jonah, still to scared to say anything.

Jonah took hold of the shampoo bottle and squirted it on his hand. He brought it towards Zach's head, massaging it into his scalp.
"you like that?" He asked, caringly.

"yeah," Zach replied. "I do." Jonah smiled back at him, taking his hands out of Zach's hair and taking hold of the shower head. Zach shut his eyes, letting the older boy wash the shampoo out.

"your turn," Jonah said, replacing the shower head to it's stand and passing Zach the shampoo. He copied Jonah's action, squirting the shampoo on his hands and brining it up to massage his scalp. "like this?" he asked, nervously.

"yeah, like that." Jonah replied, letting Zach continue. Zach took his hands out of Jonah's hair, causing Jonah to spin around so he was facing him a few seconds later.

He put his hands on Zach's waist and pressed his forehead onto Zach's. "Have you ever kissed a boy?" Jonah asked, pressing his body impossibly closer to Zach's.

"I- no." Zach stuttered.

"would you like to?" Jonah Said longingly, hoping he would say yes.

Which he did.

Jonah pressed is lips on Zach's, moving them softly with his. He gained entry to his mouth and suddenly their two worlds became one. Their lips moved in sync, like a perfect harmony they knew was going to come true.

Neither of them knew who pulled away first, but was they did know, what that the moment was perfect.

"I love you," Jonah whispered, not too sure if he did the right thing, but he didn't regret kissing him.

"I love you too," Zach replied, pulling him into a long hug. The moment was perfect. Just like they had dreamed.
