crawl to you

a runaway groom

Zach feels some vibration on his head. Jack was waking up, too. He opens his eyes. His anxiety kept him up, tossing and turning, eventually waking Jack up.
Jack, ever so patient, talked about sea life until the brunet snored on his chest.

Zach lifts his head and yawns.

"Morning Z, ready for your wedding?"Corbyn asks, too excited.

"Fuck." He hits with his face on Jack's chest. "Sorry Jack." He mutters sleepily. Jack mumbles something and yawns, too."After this shit show is over, I'll let you know.'"

"The wedding or the apocalypse?"

"Great question, I'll think about it." Zach mumbles into Jack's chest, sleep still very evident in his voice.

"Dude, wake up." Jack shakes him.

"Five more minutes, please." He snuggles into Jack's chest.

The three boys share a look. Daniel speaks up."Well, we're heading out for breakfast. You shouldn't skip free food."

The trio gets out of the trailer and Daniel and Corbyn nudge Jonah. "You were so right!" Daniel giggles.

"Good for them. They deserve it." Corbyn says calmly, ever the responsible adult. But then he smirks. "Something totally went down last night!"

Jonah, always the voice of reason, calms them down. "I bet they kissed!"

The trio laughs.

"Everything ready, Corbs?" Zach asks.

"Of course, Zach. Daniel has the keys, and Jonah has the gate covered." He looks at the duo. "Jack is literally ready to shoot anyone that gets too close to you, we'll discuss that later." He sends him a look. "And I'm taking my bro down the aisle." Corbyn concludes.

"This is one aisle I don't want to go down." He sighs. "And I've gone to supermarkets with zombies in it." They chuckle.

A woman approaches the trailer and knocks on the door."Mr. Herron, you're to be at the aisle in two minutes."

"Yes, I'll get out in a few." He confirms.

A few seconds later, another knock was heard on the door. "It's me. Can I come in?"

"Yeah." Jack gets in and slowly takes the brunet in.

He still had his combat boots, the black department issued firefighter uniform pants, and the black t-shirt that just compliments the whole 'post-apocalyptic bad boy' aesthetics. The only thing making him a bit less intimidating (apart from his height) was a small flower crown on his head.

"I'll give you two a minute." Corbyn walks out the trailer with a knowing smirk.

The two stay in silence for a few moments. "Y-You look amazing." Jack compliments. "How are you feeling?"

"Overwhelmed, but surprisingly calm." He shrugs.

Jack gets closer to him. "Listen... I know that your little flower crown is made out of daisies..." He moves his hands to the front. "It's not the biggest, but it's something." Jack hands him a sunflower.

Zach gasps and takes it into his hand."How did you find them?"

"I was wandering around, and I saw their greenhouse." Jack scratches the back of his neck. "I had to act fast, but I think it suits you." He hands him a small bag of cloth. "I also found some seeds... if you ever want to plant them."

Zach hugs him tightly. "Thanks, that was incredibly nice of you." He smiles.

"Listen, I-"

He gets rudely interrupted. "Mr. Herron, we have your bouquet ready." They part the hug awkwardly.
