A new beginning, maybe? (Zack Foster x reader)

Always safe with you

Zack's Pov:
After a few hours of peaceful fucking sleep I wake up to realise that I was in Y/n's room with her in my arms. Holy fucking fuck Y/n is in my fucking arms! This feels like a dream come true despite the fact that she probably only did it in her sleep meaning that she most likely didn't mean to end up in my arms. I snapped out of my trance to hear words that sounded like the holy fucking trinity, "It's nice and warm here in your arms, I hope you didn't mind me snuggling up against you, it's just that I was freezing and you felt like a toaster."
"Of course I don't mind, if it keeps you warm then it's absolutely fine." I responded and shot her a smile. She smiled back and nuzzled into me again.
"How long are you planning to stay there? Not like I'm pissed or anything." I asked, hoping to stay like this. "After the Eddie shinannigans, I'm probably gonna stay here all day. I feel safe here with you."
"Safe... with me?" Tears started flowing out of my eyes dramatically in disbelief.
"Of course I feel safe with you Zakku."
"So I'm Zakku now?"
"Umm... maybe."
"Two can play at that's game half pint."
"OI!"
"What? You're a short stump, deal with it." We both started laughing simultaneously over how fucking stupid we were both behaving.
Y/n's Pov:
Just as me and Zack both stopped laughing, I turned to him and asked, "Why were you crying a moment ago if you don't mind me asking?"
"Well..um...I was just in disbelief and shock and about fifty other fucking shitty emotions when you said that you felt fucking safe with me...seriously of all the people one would feel safe with, me. Like I just don't fucking understand." He spewed out, almost like he was panicking. I rubbed his back gently. "Zack it's alright, just take deep breaths it's ok, just take deep breaths and I'll explain why I feel safe with you ok. I paused for a moment and he began to calm down. I started to explain, "Zack, the reason that I feel safe with you is because despite the fact that we've not known each other for long, you always protect me from the bad and potentially dangerous in the world, you make me smile, you make me laugh, you trust me with every word I say and I trust you with everything that you say. I've never really been this close to anyone in my life and I've never trusted anyone as much as I trust you." Just as I finished speaking, Zack wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a long hug. He spoke up slightly, "You are possibly the best human to ever walk this fucking planet. You're so understanding and supportive of me and you just make me feel like I deserve a chance in life and I never thought I'd ever get that. I know we've known each other for fuck all time but I am so fucking grateful for you and I will kill anyone that tries to fucking destroy our bond or take it away from us." As he fell silent I hugged him back and buried my head in his neck for the third time this morning. "Is my neck your new favourite spot or something?"
"Hmm maybe." I mumbled out as he was giggling at me antics. He snapped his fingers in my face and needly asked,  "Can we go sort out some breakfast or some shit please?"
"Yeah sure come on!" I shrieked slightly with excitement as I removed my face from his neck and shout out of bed, heading into the lounge/kitchen area. Zack also left my bed and laughed slightly over my excited behaviour and gently patted my head.
Zack's Pov:
Fuck, I'm in love.
Y/n's Pov:
I'm in love. I know it.
