I Need You [A Zack Foster x OC fanfic]

Woken Up

"-and now I've finally found you." Lily finished her story.

Zack sat in silence, unsure of what to say next.

"....So....now what happens?" Lily asked.

"...Ugh......I don't know...." Zack said, letting out a loud sigh.

"...Hmm...Well, what all has happened since the last time we saw each other?" Lily questioned out loud.

And so, the rest of the night was spent talking about what each person has been up to, with additional comments from each thrown in.

Zack talked about his time in the streets, about his kills, about the building of death he was trapped in, and about Ray.

Lily talked about how she has been going from place to place, trying to find abandoned buildings, about people she has meet, both good and bad.

Their talk lasted until they both decided to call it a night and eventually go to sleep.

Lily slept on the bed, while Zack made himself a little pallet on the floor with blankets and pillows.

Lily said how she would have been fine with them sharing a bed, since she trusted him not to do anything to her, but he refused, mumbling something about how he 'still has some morals', so Lily didn't push it.

Zack woke up the next morning, with confusion being the first thing he felt.

'Where....the fuck am I?' He thought. After looking around the room for a moment, all the memories from the night before flooded into his mind all at once,

...Oh.

Zack sat up and glanced over onto the bed, chuckling at the sight of Lily sprawled out into a comfortable, and yet crazy position.

He was about to lay back down, until he looked at the clock.

HOW THE FUCK IS IT ALREADY 6 PM?!?!

.....When did we fall asleep last night?

Zack tried thinking back, realizing that he might have actually seen strips of daylight through the closed curtains before he fell asleep.

...Well...It was pretty late, probably around midnight when we found each other. I usually am awake around nighttime. Then we got here and talked for a long time, but still, holy hell.

His thoughts were stopped by his stomach growling loudly.

After letting out a sigh, Zack got up and reached over to shake Lily until she woke up. Which didn't take much at all.

He was surprised at what happened next.

As soon as his hand made contact with her, her eyes instantly shot open and she grabbed his wrist with one hand, while her other hand went straight for his neck. Her hand was in a position as though she was about to tear her nails into his throat.

Both Zack and Lily froze.

Lily reacted first, yanking her hand away from his throat and snatching her hand away from his wrist as if it burned her. She sat up and quickly backed away from Zack, who just sat there confused and unsure about what just happened.

"I am so sorry!!" Lily yelled out quickly.

At first, Zack just blinked at her.

"Uhh...You're fine. I'm not hurt or anything, so calm down, okay?" Zack replied, worried at the panicked look on her face.

Lily nodded her head. After a few moments, she let out a long sigh.

"...I'm really sorry about that. I've just been so used to sleeping alone, and the few times that someone else had woken me up...well, they weren't exactly good times." Lily rambled on.

"Ah, it's okay. Really." Zack said. After all, he knew that if she had woken him up, he might have had reacted the same way.

I should probably warn her about waking me up too. Zack thought.

"Umm...what exactly did you wake my up for?" She asked.

Zack grinned.

"Take a look for yourself." He said, nodding his head toward the clock.

Zack's grin turned into loud laughter when he saw Lily's surprised face when she looked at the time.

Heh, things are a bit rocky, but they're  good. Zack thought.
