Zak let out a long, relieved sigh. It was the next morning, and he had just hung up with his mom who told him his sister was okay and recovering in the hospital. His eyes teared up from the weight being lifted from him.

Knock knock

"Ehm.. Zak? May I come in?"

"Yeah, the door's open."

Zak's bedroom door creaked open to reveal the one who had comforted him yesterday, aka Darryl.
Almost immediately, Zak remembered the thing he had realized back then. He was in love with him.

Act natural act natural! Zak thought.

"Hey.. uh.. any word about your sister? I understand if you don't want to talk about it.."

"N-no, it's fine!!" Zak said, almost shouting. It was awkward. "My mother called and told me she's okay and in the hospital."

That was embarrassing oh my god. Why am I acting like this it's just Bald Boy Darryl!

Darryl smiled in relief.

"I'm so glad to hear that, Zak. But.. how are you doing? Are you okay?"

Zak's face became pink.
Why does he have to be so sweet?! This is all his fault!

"I'm good now.. again, I'm sorry about yesterday.."

Darryl just sighed with a smile.

"No, don't apologize. You did nothing wrong."

"I know hahahaha"

"WHA- we're being serious right now Zak!

"Exactly, it's weird!"

"Oh my goodness. Well, I guess it's nice to have the Zak I know back rather than the sad one." Darryl laughed nervously.

Zak couldn't take much more. He pulled on his hoodie strings to have his hood hide his face, and he quickly walked past Darryl to hide his tomato red cheeks.

"LET'S GO EAT NOW I'M HUNGRY!"

Darryl raised an eyebrow but didn't question it, and followed.

Meanwhile, Zak was panicking. His heart was racing faster than ever, and he was almost shaking from being so self-conscious.

This is the worst. I wish I had stayed oblivious to these feelings. It's not like I can ever even freaking tell him! Everything would be awkward!

Zak fast-walked to the couch in the living room and plopped on his side.

"Zak? I thought you were hungry you weird muffin." Darryl said from the kitchen.

Zak almost squeaked at the nickname. It was cute, as expected of Darryl the adorable.

"Make me something then.." Zak muttered, partly as an excuse and also as something he wanted.

"Normally I'd tell you to make something yourself, but you've had it rough lately, so fine. I hope you like tacos."

There he goes again, being so freaking nice! He can't even blame me for loving him! UGHHHHDHDH ITS NOT FAIR.

"Yeah, that sounds good. Add a pinch of 14 for me."

"Oh my goodness, just be quiet."
