ZAK'S POV:

What the heck was I thinking? I'm so fucking disgusted at myself. Why could I possibly think this was a good idea? Why, why me?

The whole day I stayed in my room, until I heard knocking on the door. I got up to open it, thinking what might Darryl say. I reached the door knob and shakily opened the door.

"Uhh.. hey muffin. Wanna come down to eat?" Darryl said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Uh yeah.. sure" I told him with a weak smile. I was so relieved he didn't say anything.

We went downstairs and I sat on the dining table. Darryl was still in the kitchen making something, I don't know what, but it smells amazing.

Some while after, Darryl came back with two plates of spaghetti with some sort of sause with mushrooms.

"Here you go Zak" Darryl said.

"The food smells delicious" I told him. "You're a good cook"

"Thank you!" Darryl said. "It means a lot"

Just as I took a bite, I was amazed by Darryl's cooking skills. "Have you thought of being a cook?" I asked him.

"I actually used to work as a cook at a restaurant back in what? 2017?"

"No way" I mumbled. "So you've studied uhh.. cooking? I guess?"

"No, not really" Darryl said as he looked down. "My.. mom taught me"

"She must be an amazing mom"

"She was" Darryl said, as a tear escaped his eye.

"Oh uhh I-I'm sorry" I stambled. "I didn't know"

"No it's alright" Darryl said. "It's just been.. so long. And I've yet to realise it"

"Yes I know. I mean I haven't lost someone that close but I know how it feels" I told him. "I'm sorry"

"I've been alone for quite a while"

"What do you mean exactly? Like in this house?" I asked him.

"No, both my parents are dead. I only have a sister but we're not really close"

"I don't know what to say, honestly" I explained to him. "If I were you, I'd make up with my sister. It's harsh to be alone"

"I don't think she really likes me" he said. "She probably hates me"

"Why would someone hate a person like you? If she is dumb enough to hate you then don't care about her. Care about the people who make you happy" I told him.

Wow, I really sound like a parent who scolds their children to give no heck to bullying. But why could his sister hate such an amazing person? That's beyond weird.

"Why does she hate you though?" I asked Darryl.

"I don't.. really like talking about that" Darryl said, leaving a big sigh. "I can't afford to lose you too"

"Lose me? That's never going to happen"

"I don't know. Anyway I need to take Lucy for a walk" he quickly changed the subject.

"Lucy? Who's that?" I asked him.

"My rat. Anyway bye" Darryl said as he ran to grab Lucy and her lead.

I mumbled bye as he walked through the door. And there I was again in silence. Just like before we sat down to eat. Eat. Darryl didn't even touch his food, like, not at all. While I was eating like there's no tomorrow.

I grabbed his plate and sat down on the couch. "Let's watch a movie" I said to myself, as I scrolled down Netflix. After a while I chose Sex Education because why not. And it seemed like Darryl had already seen it hmm. Interesting. I didn't know Darryl was a bad boy. Well.. he is. His in-game name is Badboyhalo afterall.

DARRYLS' POV:

I didn't know where I'd go, but I had to go somewhere to clear my mind. I walked to the park with Lucy and I sat on a bench.

Is this okay? What's happening, goodness me. He's probably joking, I don't know. But he really knows how to play with my heart strings. What's even happening anymore.

Ping.. I hear my phone as it vibrates in my pocket.

Zak: hihi

It was Zak of course. I didn't want to message him, but I couldn't ignore him.

Darryl: Yeah?
Zak: can you like maybe come home?
Darryl: Why? xD
Zak: to maybe cuddle..👉👈
Darryl: O.o
Darryl: You're serious?
Zak: maybe😅
Darryl: Uggh Zak I can't right now. I'm at the park o.o
Zak: but darryl cuddlesssss☹️
Darryl: Zak..
Zak: cuddlesssss
Darryl: Oh my goodness fine!
Zak: yayy 🤗

What is going on anymore. I can't understand if he likes me or not, that's how much of a prankster he is.

I got home only to find Zak passed out on a sofa covered with one of my blankets. He had eaten my plate of food too. And he had opened MY bag of chips. There were crumbles of chips all over the floor near where Zak was sleeping.

I didn't know what to do because if he woke up and he saw that I'm not with him he might be upset. Maybe he wanted me to take him to his bed?

I lifted him up and he kinda wrapped his right arm around my waist, while burying his little face in my chest. My heart was beating super fast and I think he noticed it too, because he held onto me harder.

I took him to my bed and I went downstairs again to clean the mess he had made.

My mind was still processing what had happened just two minutes ago. The way my heart fastened, the way Zak grabbed onto me harder.

My heart was fluttering when I noticed somebody had gotten hard. "Oh come on" I said to myself. "He probably doesn't even like me".

I kinda ignored it and I continued with washing the dishes. When I finished, I walked back to my room to work on some stuff on my server MunchyMc.

Around midnight I heard some noise coming from the bed next to me, and I turned my head around to see Zak rubbing his eyes.

"Hi Zak"

"What.. time is it?" he asked softly, still with his sleepy voice.

"Around 1 am" I replied.

"Come to bed" Zak stated.

"What? With you?" I questioned.

"Yeah, why? Is it weird?" He asked with innocence.

"Uhh kindaa- actually no, no at all"

"So you coming?" he asked.

"Yeah"

"Yay!"
