"I need to talk."

"Why would you call me then?" Christina asks nonchalantly.

"Shut up and listen to me. I need to find somewhere where no one is listening to me." Zach runs to the backyard and sits down next to the pool.

"What's up bubs?"

"So I was teaching Jack how to cook right...and he was stirring and I wanted to hug him-"

"But you didn't."

"Exactly...but I was helping him cooking and our hands touched...and he asked to hug me."

"Did you let him?"

"I did...but then he...he pecked my cheek."

"Really?"

"It felt...right ya know. To have him hug my waist and pecking my check like that."

"I feel you dude, but knowing you, you pulled away."

"I did...but then we had another moment and almost kissed."

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah...it was... something. But I don't want to seem...easy."

"He knows you're not easy." Zach jumps.

"Jonah?"

"Put me on speaker." Zach complies.

"Did you hear all that?"

"Maybe."

"Don't tell him anything."

"I won't, but i wanna tell you something...I never saw Jack look at someone the same way he looks at you. You intrigue him. You're playing hard to get and he's gonna do everything in his reach to have you."

"I just don't wanna be used."

"He won't do that. He treats the people be likes really good. If you give a call to Gabs you won't hear her complain about how he treated her. Sure he forgot about her a few times b-"

"I don't wanna be for-"

"You didn't let me finish. He forgot about her because he was constantly overloaded with work, but there were a few days where he forgot about work and spent a day with her, making sure she knows he likes her." Zach nods.

"Why didn't she just move in with you guys?"

"I never thought about it...nice question."

"Why didn't she, just told him you're working too much or...or...I don't know took some time?"

"Because Jack was heads over heels with her until he laid eyes on him."

"Was he so head of heels with her if he liked me the first time he saw me?"

"They still had a small spark, and Gabs was just a small spark, but you're the whole firework show."

"He gives out some really good advice and analogies."

"Thanks." Jonah smiles.

"But sis, let's get to the important shit, I saw how you looked at Daniel." The tall brunette blushed.

"I might have a small crush on him."

"Go for it."

"He doesn't like me, I don't wanna risk it."

"So you telling him to risk it, but you can't risk it yourself?"

"I work with him on the daily. If he doesn't like me, it's gonna make things weird."

"Dude, work is work, relationships are relationships, don't let them mix." Jonah nods.

"I gotta go, but good advice."

"Bye Jonah!"

"You can call me Jo if you guys want okay? See ya bro." Zach nods with a smile.

The best friends keep talking.

Zach lays down on the bed and turns off his light. This was the first time he's going to bed without Jack.

He holds onto Chubs and closes his eyes. The brunette was just about to fall asleep when the bedroom door opened.

The door was closed and a sigh was heard. Zach turns on the light.

"Jack?" He looks at the door and sees the curly head sitting against the door on the verge of tears.

The man straightens up and wipes his cheeks.

"Is everything okay?" Zach gets up and walks up to him.

Jack nods and smiles softly.

"Oh no, darling, everything's not okay is it?" Jack shakes his head and let's out a sob.

Zach runs up to him and hugs him.

"My mom is f-fucking ruthless." Jack holds him.

"I'm here, I'm here. Tell me what happened love." Zach straddles him and hugs him tightly.

"She was mad at my dad and she took it all on me. Like it's my fault she divorced him, like it's all my fucking fault." He sobs

Zach grabs his face and cleaned his tears.

"It's not your fault, never think it's your fault." His eyes didn't stop darting between his eyes and his lips, and so did Jack's.

Zach started slowly leaning in.

"W-where is this going?" The brunet asks softly.

"I-I don't know b-but I really really want to kiss you."

"I-I really want to kiss you too." They both connect their lips softly, and God, it felt so right.

Jack was kissing him so gently, scared he'd break the beautiful brunet straddling him.

Zach's hands wipe his tears and caress his cheeks, then going to his neck, and pulling more into him, while Jack held him by the waist and pulled him more into him.

They parted and Zach connected their lips again. How right it felt, and the fireworks? Damn the fireworks were something.

They pulled away again and connected their foreheads.

"Wow." Zach mutters, both men chuckling.

"Wow indeed..." Jack smiles.

"Let's get you ready for bed okay?" Zach bites his lip.

"I can't sleep, I have to finish work." He sighs.

"Jack. You need to rest."

"I can't, I need to finish it." Zach nods, leaves his lap and helps him up.

Jack puts on his sweatpants, takes off his contacts and puts on his glasses.

He turns on the computer and leans against the headboard.

Zach lays down and turns to his nightstand. He was in a little ball, trying to get warmth but he was still cold. He turned around.

"Can I lean against you? I'm kinda cold."

"Sure." Zach got close to him and laid his head on Jack's hip.

"Goodnight Jack."

"Goodnight beautiful." Zach blushes lightly and snuggles against him.

The brunette was quick to fall asleep, listening to Jack furiously typing the computer.

The curly head stopped typing when he heard one of his light snores.

He looked down and smiled softly. He was beautiful even when he was sleeping.

Jack gently caressed his cheek and got back to work, his eyes sometimes adverting to his sleeping face.

The curly head only stopped working when he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore.

He closed the computer and slid down, letting the brunette snuggle on his chest.

Jack smiled and pecked his head. It just felt right.
