Zak bit his lip, suddenly a little self concious. What if showing up in a hoodie wasn't good enough for a practical date? He shrugged it off. Dave probably wouldn't care that much.
He spoke a quick goodbye to his mom, who had teased him the entire day. He glanced out and noticed Dave.
"Hey, Zak!"
"Hi," He smiled.
The shop wasn't exactly far away, probably 10 minutes, so they ended up walking there. The whole time, they usually had stupid little conversations.
"You're bad at minecraft."
"Well, you're bad at sumo!"
"Zak, you are bad at everything but sumo."
Zak scoffed, pretending to be hurt by what he said. Dave only chuckled.
When they reached the area, the two went to order.
"I'll have a strawberry ice cream."
"I'll take chocolate!"
The two both reached for their wallet. Dave insisted on paying, but when he tried to Zak smacked his hand away.
"No, I'm paying!"
Dave rolled his eyes.
"You are too stubborn for your own good."
The lady who had taken their order narrowed her eyes.
"Are you on a date?"
Dave, with no shame, answered her.
"Yes, we are."
She shook her head in disgust.
"You both are confused. Be ashamed of yourselves." She scoffed, then turned and left.
Zak flickered his gaze to the ground as they walked to a seat in an awkward silence.
Dave could tell that Zak was slightly hurt, more affected than he was. Dave didn't really care what other people thought of him, but Zak seemed a bit upset.
"Hey, it's okay, Zak. Don't listen to her."
"But-"
Dave reached out and held his hand.
"No buts. I'll slap her across the face as many times as it takes for you to feel better."
Zak laughed.
"Please don't. I'm fine, just shocked."
Soon, their ice cream came.
"Wait, can I try some of yours?"
"Only if I can have some of yours."
Zak eventually gave in, pushing his bowl toward Dave, and in result getting Dave's strawberry ice cream.
They ended up eating each other's.
"Remind me to never let you have a bite of mine again." Dave chuckled on the way back.
Zak huffed.
"You still ate mine!"
"Yeah, because after I took one bite of yours and looked up, half of mine was already gone."
"We don't talk about that."
When Zak was outside his house, he waved goodbye to Dave.
"Thanks for this."
"I mean, you paid."
"Yeah, but I don't think I would have ever gathered an inch of courage to ask you out."
"Wow."
They stood there for maybe 5 more minutes before Dave reminded the other that they were right outside his house.
"Oh, sorry! I forgot." Zak said nervously. Surely he was just losing track of time because they were good friends? Right? Right?
"I know, I'm amazing to talk to."
"You're boring."
"Says the one who forgot he was outside his own house to talk to me."
"Shut up."
After yet again another goodbye from the both of them, Zak entered his house, and then his room.
Today was fun, but Zak was still conflicted about whether or not he liked Dave like that. He had a hard time believing he did, so he didn't let himself believe that, but he thought it'd be better to just come to terms with it, right? They were already in a relationship.
He contemplating talking to Darryl and Vincent about it again, but he didn't want to bother them with his problems. So, he ended up messaging Dave.

Zak logged on and glanced at the party invite from the familiar username Technoblade. He accepted, and was immediately transported into Skywars.
"I'm so going to win." He said into the call they were on.
"I can tryhard any game, casual."
Yeah. You guessed it. Dave ended up winning.
After a bit of time, Zak looked at the clock. It was 1:00am, and they'd been playing for probably 3 hours. He didn't really want to stop, but Dave insisted that they should both get some sleep.
"But it's only 1:00am!"
"Yeah, and you're sleep deprived."
Zak rolled his eyes.
"Fine."
The two both logged off, and headed to bed.
Zak, was still unable to sleep. So, what did he do?
Spam Dave, and when he didn't respond, he spammed Darryl and Vincent until they woke up.
