Mon Chérie

"And are you sure you want to do this?"

"Syd it's cheaper to buy an apartment with three rooms and I'll transfer the money to you. I want you three safe and this is the safest way of doing so."

Sydnie sighs.

"You're not doing this because you like him right?"

"I'm not Syd. His mother told me to move in to avoid me being late and fucking up his schedule."

Jack hugs her.

"You know I love you guys so much. I'd do anything for you three and that's what I'm doing. I'm sure I'll visit the place and demand for cookies."

Sydnie chuckles.

"And maybe I'll invite you and your...what are you guys exactly?" She parts the hug.

"That's actually what I was gonna ask you to help me...how do I ask him?"

"You're going to Paris in like two days...think for a bit. You're going to the city of love...with the guy you like have a huge crush on."

"But it's gonna be so...expected and sappy and- Sydnie Avery you're a genius!"

He grabs his phone and dials Zach's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey beautiful, I didn't wake you up did I?"

"No, is everything okay?"

"Yes, can you go to the park real quick?"

"Sure, see ya in a few."

"Bye."

He grabs his house keys and puts on a hoodie.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to do something I should've done a few weeks ago."

He runs out the door, not forgetting to grab a rose from a jar he had.

Jack runs to the park desperately.

He saw the brunet on the swings waiting for him.

The curly head fastens his pace and plops down on the swings breathless.

"Oh my God Jack! Are you okay? What happened?"

"I ran from my house to here."

"Isnt it like a good five minute walk? are you crazy?"

Jack pushes him to his lap and smiles.

"Only for you."

"You're not making any sense Jack."

"I don't have or can afford a pearl necklace or any other boujee thing like that, I seriously don't have much to give you-"

"Jack...I don't need anything like that, you know that." Zach smiles softly.

The curly head leans his head on Zach's chest and breathes out, as if to let out any final nerves.

"You're not understanding a thing I'm saying, are you?"

"Not really...do you need water or oxygen in your brain?" They chuckle.

"No silly." Jack looks at him in the eyes.

"What I'm trying to say is...will you be my boyfriend?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh my God, that was so sweet Jacky." He pecks him several times.

The curly head smiles and kisses him again.

"I was totally not expecting that Jack! Really caught me off guard." They kiss again.

Jack took off one of his necklaces and put it on Zach.

"There. It looks fantastic on you beautiful...and here." He hands him a rose.

"Jack...you didn't have to do all this...it was too much chérie."

"You deserve so much more than this...improvised- whatever this was."

"I thought it was perfect. This is our spot, not that we come here too often, but it's still our spot and it was the cutest, most perfect way."

The curly head smiles and pulls with to a breathtaking kiss.

"You're so cute and all mine!" Jack hugs him tightly.

Zach chuckles and hugs him back, playing with a small curl.

"I'd love to spend the rest of the night like this Jacky, but we have to wake  up early tomorrow, I have another shoot."

"Just two more minutes, you're the best at hugging." Jack mutters.

Zach smiles softly.

"Hey my beautiful boyfriend."

"Good morning mon chérie." Zach smiles and gently grabs a rose.

"Where do you get all these roses? Do you have an infinite supply of them?"

"I steal them from my yard and my neighbors."

"You don't have to bring me a rose everyday Jacky."

"Of course I do, now I believe we have a Photoshoot to attend monsieur Herron."

"Someone's learning French." They chuckle.

"Just a little bit, only for my...wait I searched this on Google last night...petit ami?" (boyfriend)

"Oui oui." Zach blushes lightly.

Jack grabs him by the hand and they get in the car.

***

They were just about to arrive and the ride was in an awful silence.

"Is everything okay? You're being too quiet."

"I'm more nervous than usual...I'm shooting for goddamn playboy."

"holy shit...I'm gonna buy a magazine just because you're in there."They chuckle.

"I'm just...worried. They're not gonna ask me to pose nude right? How do you feel about watching your boyfriend on the cover of a sex magazine? I-"

"You can say no to posing nude, it's your choice...and you know that if I could I would show my beautiful boyfriend on the cover of a playboy magazine and say see this angel? he's my boyfriend, he calls me cute nicknames and he's a great kisser and did I say he's my boyfriend? " Zach chuckles, a small blush adorning his face.

"I was mostly worried about that...we just started dating."

"I'd be more than proud to see you in a cover of playboy." Jack parks the car and they get out.

The brunet holds his pinky and they get in.

After doing the normal things Zach goes to the set.

"Maria! Why isn't the other boy ready for the shoot too?"Jack furrows his eyebrows.

"It's his Photoshoot, I-"

"I saw the Calvin Klein ad, you have talent kid. Get in here, you two are gonna be on the cover."
