13 Reasons Why / Zalex Story

What?! What do you mean?

Pov Alex
When I woke up it was still dark outside because Zach and I went to bed pretty early yesterday. I was still lying on his chest but I could see the clock on my nightstand, it was 5 a.m. . I yawned and lifted myself up by placing my hands beside Zach. He was still fast asleep so I slowly rolled off of him. I put new briefs and my sweatpants on, got my cane and walked downstairs. I heard my stomach growl. On my way to the kitchen I could see that the light was on. My dad was sitting at the counter reading the newspaper. He heard me walk in and looked up saying: "Oh you're up early buddy"
"Yeah I couldn't sleep any longer."
"And what about Zach, is he still asleep?"
I blushed. Does he know?..
"Yeah. He had a lot to do the past few days so he is pretty exhausted."
"I see. Well I hope that doesn't have to do anything with you."
Huh?! Now my face was burning hot.
Zach exhausted and I'm the reason.
What am I thinking.
Oh god.
"Wha-what do you mean by that?"
"Are you okay? What I meant is that Zach has done so much for you. He's here almost everyday, always drives you to school, helps you with your homework and that all while also taking care of his own stuff. What did you think I was talking about?"
"I- Nothing. Yes he's really helping me a lot." I am so embarrassed. Where did my mind just wonder off to. I could slap myself right now.
"Alex is there something you want to tell me?
"What? Why?"
"I don't know, you just seem like you're... well not really here with your mind."
I sighed.
"Okay dad, so...
"Good morning." I heard Zach's voice from behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and placed his head on my shoulder.
I can't believe this...
Fucking bury me alive.
"Zach?" I said
"Yeeeesss?" He slowly opened his eyes and when he saw my dad he took a step back and let go of me.
"Go-good morning Mr. Standall."
Zach is stuttering, ZACH IS STUTTERING.
"Morning Zach. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, thanks."
"So Alex what did you want to say."
He is not letting it go, is he.
"Dad, Zach and I." I stopped mid sentence and looked at the man I love and he nodded with a reassuring smile.
"Zach and I are together. I-I mean he is my boyfriend. Mom already knows and yeah..."
He just looked at us.
"God, kid for a second a really thought I need to be scared. That's not new information."
"What?! What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean I didn't know for sure but I figured. And last night I put the shirts for Zach in your room and saw... well I saw you on top of him so let's say, I just had a feeling."
"Oh." Is all I could say. Did he just say he saw me on top of Zach. For fucks sake my head is going to explode of all the embarrassment.
"Did you think I would've had a problem with that? You know I will always love you Alex, right? And well Zach already belongs to the family with how much time he spends here, helping you."
"Thanks dad." I smiled at him.
Zach took my hand and squeezed it.
"Well we're gonna go upstairs and get dressed." I said.
My stomach growled.
"I think you should eat something first kid." My dad said.
"Right, that was the reason why I came downstairs in the first place."
"You hungry?" I asked Zach.
"Very."
"Toast?"
He nodded.
"Sit down boys, I can make breakfast. I'm hungry anyways." My dad said.
Zach and I walked over to the table and sat down.
I felt Zach's hand on my knee and I put mine on top of his.
I'm so happy right now.
We finally told my parents.
Now we only need to tell Zach's mom.
"What are you thinking about." Zach asked while supporting his head on his hand.
"I'm just happy."
Zach's smile expanded.
He placed a soft kiss on my lips.
"I love you." He whispered sweetly
"I love you too."
"Here you go lovebirds." My dad put a bunch of toast, jam and butter on the table.
"Don't. Dad please."
"What. What's wrong with lovebirds."
"No one says that dad."
"Well I do and now eat your toast and shut up."
Zach tried to hold back his laughter.
"You're not trying to embarrass me in front of my future son in law, are you?"
I choked on my toast.
I started coughing.
Zach slapped my back.
I took a big gulp of my water.
"DAD!"
My dad just grinned to himself.
I continued drinking my water, trying to calm down. Too much cringe. I can't handle it.
"Okay okay. I'll leave the two of you alone. I'll bring your mother some breakfast. Behave yourselfs. No hankypanky in the kitchen."
I almost spat out my water.
I placed my hands over my eyes.
"You okay?" Zach asked and I heard the giggle in his voice."
"Stop laughing!"
"HAHAHAHAHAH."
I punched Zach's shoulder and his toast fell out of his hand.
"Heeyy!"
"Serves you right dickhead."
I slowly stood up to get another glas of water.
Suddenly Zach grabbed both of my wrists and pinned me against the wall.
How did he even do that! How fast is this man?
His face was right in front of me.
Two can play this game.
I kissed him and he kissed back with full force. I put my hands on his waist pulling him closer, slowly pushing my tongue into his mouth.
Zach pulled away.
I looked at him with big eyes, dumbfounded.
"Wha-?"
"No hankypanky in the kitchen." He said with and evil grin and left the room.
I hate this guy.
Did he really just leave the fucking room.
Leave me in my own fucking house.
"WHY DO I LOVE YOU!" I shouted after him.
Dickhead.
