Eyes (Skephalo)

Three - Rainy Days

Zak fondly remembers their "second date", sure they didn't go to some fancy restaurant or do things that people typically do during dates, but it was perfect to Zak.

If Zak could find the words to describe truly how incredible that day was, he would end up with a bunch of synonyms for the words: spectacular, extraordinary, perfect, etc.

Zak wishes he could go back to that very day in his bedroom, not just in his memories, but the room where it happened.

(Beginning of flashback)

A couple of days after Zak and Darryl had their first date, Zak was becoming more and more desperate to see the pretty boy's bright green eyes, messy hair, precious smile, and those cute glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose.

It was nearing the holidays; Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc. Only about a week before families get together and spend time with one another.

Unfortunately, they had yet to get snow, although with the temperature rapidly decreasing, the freezing cold rain, and the weather forecasters talking about a possible four inches of snow, Zak knew it was only a matter of time before those pretty snowflakes starred to fall.

Darryl 💞

Hey Zak, I know the other day you said you've always wanted to know what it's like to cuddle up with someone during a rainy day. If you want, I can come over and be a willing participant. ^~^

Delivered at 1:35 p.m.

Zak 💙

I'd really like that Darry-berry, you can come over at anytime. You already have my address and apartment number, but if you get lost and you need me to step outside and find you, I gladly will. I'm super excited to see you! 💞💓

Sent at 1:36 p.m.

Zak was slightly nervous at his choice of emojis, hoping it didn't come across as desperate or too forward.

The 'sent' changed to 'seen' only about 10 seconds after he send the message. He got excited when he saw those three dots, signifying Darryl replying to his message.

Darryl 💞

Okay! I'll be there in about roughly 10. I'm super excited to see you too! (>﹏<) 💙💕

Delivered at 1:36 p.m.

Zak squealed slightly, hugging his phone to his chest, with a big smile plastered across his rosy cheeks, super excited to see the cute boy.

Zak quickly jumped up, causing Rocco to raise his head slightly- looking at what Zak was doing, before lowering his head back down onto his paws, going back into his nap nearly in an instant.

Zak rushed to his kitchen, it was proportionate to the rest of the apartment, being relatively small, but it was enough for Zak.

Zak began by grabbing a bowl and a bag or popcorn. Quickly, he threw the popcorn into the microwave and starting it up. He grabbed a stick of butter and a butter knife, cutting off a small amount and placing it into a measuring cup.

He stopped, listened to the popcorn and waited until it stopped popping.

There was probably about 30 seconds left on the timer, but he knew that if he left it in there any longer, it would just burn the popcorn.
