*two months later*

"Mr. Zachary Herron." The couple gets up and walks to the office hand in hand.

"Hey Zach, this must be Jack, I'm Dr. Alana Milan."

"Pleasure to meet you."

"Please, have a seat." They both sit down and Zach fiddles with Jack's fingers.

"So Zach, how have you been?"

"I've been doing okay I guess...he finally asked me to be his boyfriend."

"How did that go?"

"It was perfect...we were watching g a movie, I was cuddling him, our dog was on his lap and he just did it...I seriously couldn't have asked for anything else."

"I'm happy for the both of you." She smiles softly at them. "Anything else?"

"I told him about...Roy."

"How did that go?"

"I was nervous to tell him...but he just...made it all good because I told the truth...I don't want Roy, I want him." He lays his hand on Jack's thigh.

"eight letters."

"eight letters too."

"Care to explain?"

"We were just goofing around and he ,and sorry for the term babe, he dropped the L bomb...but I wasn't ready...so I thought about using eight letters until I was ready."

"That's amazing Zach...I'm proud." The brunette's eyes fill with tears.

"Talk to us baby." Jack says softly.

"It just never heard my mom say that to me..and hearing that from doctor Milan just hits different...sure you and Chris tell me that but it's different." The curly head hugs him.

"Who's Chris?"

"Christina, she's his best friend." She nods.

"Please tell me more."

"I met his parents."

"How did that go?" Her eyes turn to Jack.

"My parents are very judgemental and looks are very important to them, but they and my sisters...loved him." He smiles softly at his boyfriend.

"What do you mean judgemental? Do you mind explaining?"

"My parents are...very important people so they...wanted me to dress, act and look a certain way." She takes notes.

"Can you give me an example please?"

"They don't really like when I wear glasses."

"They didn't want him to drink iced tea...or eat dessert."

"But I have to do as they say because of my sisters and their reputation."

"That's very toxic behavior...how do you cope with it?"

"I...sometimes stress eat crackers. This not about me, it's about him."

"Have you been doing that recently?"

"No. He calms me down when I feel remotely stressed, like he can feel it." She nods.

"Do you do the same with him?"

"He does...even if he doesn't notice it, he helps me a lot." Jack pecks his head.

Someone knocked on the door. The doctor furrowed her eyebrows.

"It hasn't been an hour..." She gets up and opens the door.

"Mrs. Grey, I'm in the middle of a consultation."

"I can't wait any longer! Everyone's looking at me! I need help!"

"Give me a minute Mrs. Grey." She closes the door.

"I'm very sorry for this...I don't know how the receptionist let her pas-"

"Mrs. Milan, I don't mind shortening our session...she seems to need it more than I do." Zach says calmly.

"You have no idea...but I can't do that."

"It's the least I could do."

She writes a note.

"Hand this to Mrs. Moore and..." She scribbles on another note. "Here's my number if you need to vent or something."

"Thank you."

"Can I have a quick word with you? Baby, go to the reception and catch up with you okay?" Jack pecks his cheek.

Zach nods and walks out the door.

"Finally! What took you so l- you're not Doctor Milan!"the woman starts shaking.

"She's just having a quick talk with my boyfriend and she'll talk to you in a second okay?" He walks to the receptionist and hands her the note.

"We're incredible sorry for cutting short the session...Mrs. Grey is very-"

"It's okay, I don't mind...I can tell she needs it more than me."

"That's very noble of you Mr. Herron."

"Are you ready?" Jack wraps his arms around his waist. He nods.

"Thank you Mrs. Moore." He schedules the next session on his phone.

"See you next month sir."

"You too, have a nice day."

They walk out hand in hand.

"How do you feel about ice cream and a little walk in the park?"

"Seems like a great plan."

***

They were walking around in the park, laughing at some stupid thing they said.

Zach steers them to an empty bench and they sit down. The curly head wraps his arm around his shoulder.

"Wanna taste mine?" Jack asks and points the ice cream to him.

"Sure." Zach goes to taste it but Jack kissed him lovingly.

"Like it?" The brunette blushes.

"Chocolate and vanilla is a good mixture." They laugh.

"It really is isn't it? Maybe we should try it again."

"You're right, we should." They kiss again, some big smiles in between. Zach bites his lip teasingly as they pull away.

Jack bites his cheek playfully.

"Meanie! You almost bit off my-"

"Get a room!" An old man scoffs.

"Get a life." Jack rolls his eyes. Zach licks the ice cream.

"Boys don't kiss boys."

"I guess that makes us men then." The curly head retorts.

"This is a free country sir and I'm free to kiss whoever the fuck I want...and I want to kiss him." He kisses Jack.

The curly head's phone starts ringing.

"Yes?...at the park with Zach...wasn't it tomorrow?...fine dude, I'll be there in five okay?" He hangs up.

"We gotta go babe, I have a meeting in ten."

***

"I'm counting on it being fast okay? I'll be back in a few hours. Maybe we could watch a short movie when i get back?"

"I have something else in mind."

"You choose okay? Bye baby, I'm gonna miss you really bad."

"Me too...good luck my baby dude." He kisses him.

Jack walks out the door and drives away.

Zach starts getting everything ready for tonight.
