VALENTINES DAY

"then we go slow. we start off with that date, and if it's even worth going down that road then we'll try it. because i really like you too."

"okay." "okay?" "okay." "now let's get you home, yeah?" zach nodded, helping pack away the picnic before sitting in the car.

they drove in a nice silence, the radio playing softly in the background.

daniel's hand was sitting on the console, so zach slowly moved his hand to rest over top.

daniel looked down at their hands, then to zach, he then turned his hand over to they were interlocked with each other's.

he then brought their hands up to his lips and placed a soft kiss to zach's knuckles.

they pulled up out front the complex and zach dreaded reaching his door. he didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay with daniel.

they walked up the stairs and down the hallway hand in hand, arriving at 1248 zach let out a sigh.

"you okay?" "yeah, i just don't want to leave you yet."

"it's okay zach. i'll see you tomorrow or some day soon." "w-why don't you come in for a bit?" zach asked cautiously.

"are you sure?" "positive." "okay." zach smiled, unlocking the door.

they walked inside and zach wrapped his arms back around daniel's neck.

"i know we said we'd be going slow. go on a date first... but i really want to kiss you."

"i want to kiss you too." daniel agreed. "so kiss me." "will do." and their lips slotted together. they started walking over to the couch.

daniel broke apart and sat down, holding zach's hands. their eyes were locked with each other.

daniel smiled, pulling zach down so he was straddling his lap. "you're so cute." he whispered to zach before kissing him yet again.

they began making out, zach's hands running through daniel's hair.

"okay wait..." zach spoke up, panting. "what's wrong?"

"nothing.. i just... i don't want to go too far.. i thought i'd say that before we got in to something."

"well thank you for telling me. and if you're okay with it, we can keep going and whenever you want, you stop it."

"you sure?" "whenever you want baby." zach blushed. "i like the sound of that." "of me calling you baby?"

"i like it a lot." "i'll keep that in mind." daniel smirked, kissing his lips again. "and by the way... i like you sitting on my lap." daniel whispered in his ear.

"i know how far i'm okay with going." "how far baby?" "i mean, i don't want to like, y'know... but i mean, i- i could blow you?"

"only if you want to." daniel said quietly. zach began kissing his neck while rubbing his jeans.

"oh my god." daniel breathed out. his pants growing tighter as he got excited. zach lowered himself down closer.

he unbuttoned daniel's jeans, pulling them and his boxers down slightly, zach made eye contact with daniel before wrapping around him.

skip ten minutes later, they're cuddling on the couch while watching gilmore girls.

zach had freaked when daniel said he'd never watched this show before. demanding that they watch it immediately.

it now being eleven thirty six, zach was starting to doze off. his head resting on daniel chest while they cuddled.

"baby why don't we get you to bed okay?" zach just nodded in his sleepy state.

daniel lifted him off the couch, wrapping an arm around his waist to keep him up. "okay, which one is your room?"

"second last on the right." he mumbled. daniel softly chuckled at him.

he gently placed him on his bed and tucked him in. "goodnight zachy." daniel whispered with a smile.

"wait... wait.. dani wait..." "what is it zach?" "ca-can you stay until i fall asleep?"

"of course zachy. of course i'll stay." daniel smiled to the boy who already had his heart.
