the two boys were defenitley awkward at first. they hadn't talked since middle school; besides the attempts that jack had made to try and get with zach.

but, with a little help of some music, the two boys were singing along like they were middle schoolers again.

they were laughing and swinging there hands in the air like no one was watching. they felt free with each other, in such words.

when the boys finally arrived at the mall, they calmed down their laughter before walking in.

as they walked in, zach couldn't help but glance down at the boys' hand. he wanted to hold it again; feel the warmth. the warmth he did when jack grabbed his hand, offering to help him up earlier that day.

so zach took a big step, for him, and spoke up. "can i hold your hand?" zach asked shyly.

jack smiled at the boy, connecting their hands; letting them fit perfectly. "you don't even have to ask, sweetheart."

zach's heart fuzzled as the nickname brought back memories, from middle school for them.

the two contiuned to walk inside the mall, hand in hand looking around.

"you wanna get somethin' to eat?" jack questioned the smaller, who shrugged his shoulders.

"how bout' we go get some taco bell?" jack suggested. zach tried to hide the smile forming on his face as he nodded his head.

the two walked to the small food court, finding the taco bell; and ordering their food. it didn't take long for their food to be ready, but jack wanted to do something.

as the boys got there food, jack grabbed it and began to walk, with zachs' hand in his; making sure the boy was following.

"where are we going?" zach murmurmed innocently.

"I want to do something, and you can eat in there." jack smiled at the boy, receving one back.

as soon as the boy's came to a stop in front of a hair salon; zach looked at jack.

"what do you plan on doing?" zach asked curiously. "I want something different, and this perm is tiring to redo." jack huffed.

zach smiled. he knew he would like it no matter what, so he let the curly-headed; soon not to be, take him inside.

as the curly-headed sat down, zach watched with intent eyes. who knew it would be so intrested.
