Chapter 5

Daryl-

Zak and I finally got to my house and I was instantly embarrassed by all the clothes that were scattered around.

"Uh- sorry about the mess. No one ever visits and I've been busy with schoolwork" I said pointing to the table that had lots of papers and an open computer on it.

"Oh... yeah school..." Zak said quietly.

I could tell he was anxious about missing school work and getting a bad grade, because who wouldn't be? So I shot him a soft smile.

"Don't worry I'll help with the school work and everything. It's really not that much" I reassured him.

He just mumbled 'okay' and slowly sat down on the couch with a sigh. I was silent for a moment before suddenly remembering a conversation zak and I had a little bit ago.

"Hey! Why don't we watch Ratatouille...? I remember you saying you really liked that movie" I said, trying to be enthusiastic.

For a quick moment I saw skeppys eyes light up and he nodded, but right after that they went back to looking dull and sad.

Lost.

"Yeah that would be nice" he said in a hushed tone as if he would get in trouble if he spoke louder. Which confused me but I brushed it off and sat down.

After putting on ratatouille I quickly got up and got blankets, pillows, and rat.

Zak-

I sat at daryls couch and waited till he came back into the livingroom to unpause the movie.

I was zoned out when suddenly about four blankets were thrown over my head.

I decided to just not move because it was warm but then I heard laughing and they were taken off of me.

Daryl sat next to me and threw the blankets over both of our laps. Then out of nowhere he put a dog on my lap and I couldn't help but smile.

"What the fuck he's so cute" I said while petting this adorable marshmallow.

"Language! And thank you. Her name is Lucy" Daryl said smiling.

I pet her and unpaused the movie. Almost completely forgetting about... my mom.

~~~ Daryl-

The movie was almost over and once again Zak had somehow ended up in my lap.

All I remember is that he got really tired, climbed onto my lap and fell asleep sitting up.

WHO FALLS ASLEEP SITTING UP???? IS HE A PSYCHOPATH!?!??

HOW IS HE NOT UNCOMFORTABLE??

I decided that it was an abomination for him to just sleep upright so I gently wrapped my arm around his torso and lied him down on the couch while putting the blankets over him.

I took one of the pillows and one of the blankets and lied down on the floor in front of the couch.

I turned off the TV and took off my glasses because the lights were already off, and I drifted off to sleep.

Hi, back to Zak-

"Hello?" A lady asked me quietly.

"Who are you?" She asked again, this time a little louder.

"Hm...? Oh I'm Daryls... friend. Sorry I-"

"Are you Zak?" The lady interrupted.

I sat up silently and nodded. Hoping I didn't have a bad reputation in this house.
