Chapter Text

“I’m surprised and disappointed in myself for the fact that I actually had high hopes for this.” Zack said.

You may be wondering: what is going on? And I’ll gladly answer…



Caos.

Yeah, that’s it.

Milo and Zack had gone shopping for their suits, they wanted to match so that’s what they were looking for, they found them. Then it was all about waiting for Monday. Which was easy, Zack was going to keep the suits to make sure that they survived and then they would change in his room.

“Okay, so the plan is… survive.”

“We’re not going to war, Zack, relax.” Milo said, trying to calm him.

“Oh but we are, Milo, we will be lucky if we still have our shoes when we get to school.” Zack told him, while looking out the window with his arms behind his back in a dramatic way.

“Zack, I promise we’ll get to the dance in one piece.”

“So…” Zack started. “You promise, huh?”

Right now they were on top of a tree in hopes to get away from the bear that started chasing them on their way to the dance.

“Oh, cut me some slack, we definitely are in one piece.” And Milo was right, some scratches on the suits because of the branches but they were still good. “I just have to find that salmon that I had in here.”

That is… until a giant bird appeared and grabbed Zack by the shoulders and took him away.

 

“YEAH, I SEE HOW MUCH SLACK I CAN CUT YOU.”

“Zack!!”

 

In desperation to save his loved one, Milo finally found his salmon and tossed it to the bear, and quickly followed that strange giant bird.

And then began a chase, Milo having to deal with Murphy’s law on ground as best and fast as he could. He couldn’t lose sight of Zack. And Zack having long decided that screaming wasn’t going to help him, was as quiet as he could be.

“This is fine.” Zack tried to reassure himself. “I’m several feet above ground but it’s okay. Milo will definitely find some way to hel-“

And out of nowhere he was let go…

A lot of things came to his mind, his mom, his dad, his brothers, his friends… Milo. He didn’t enjoy his newfound relationship with him, actually they haven’t really said that they’re boyfriends, he should have asked. But now it’s too late. Hey, at least he got to kiss Milo.






“Zack!!!”

“Huh?”

Coming to his senses Zack found himself still on air, but the ground was coming fast. Zack could see Milo from the distance, he looked panicked.

“The hell am I doing accepting death?” Zack asked himself.

There were trees around him so he triedro position himself more on top of a tree, to fall on them so that they could slow down his fall. It was a little painful, the bird wasn’t insanely above ground so it wasn’t that high. There were definitely several scratches he’d have to tend later, but at least he slowed down.

He fell on a big puddle of mudd (that he actually thanked for) so his actual hit to the ground was softer than the tree.

“Zack! Are you okay!?” Milo asked him, worried sick, and getting on the mudd himself.

“Hurting all over, but I’m alive.”

“Great, let’s get out of here, I need to tend to your wounds.”

They got away from the woods and found a pizzeria that let them in despite all the mudd, to be in a lighted place to treat Zack.

“I’m sorry our suits got trashed.” Milo apologized, both their suits were muddy and Zack’s also had a lot of scratches.

“It’s fine.” Zack assured him with a smile.

“We didn’t even get to the dance.”

“...” Zack recalled his thoughts when he was free falling well, now or never . “You know how you can make it up to me?”

“How? I’ll do anything. I’m really so-“

Zack shut him up with a kiss, Milo being surprised didn’t move for a second. But he didn’t get the chance to correspond because Zack ended the kiss…

“Hey, would you be my boyfriend?”

“...” Milo could feel his heart racing and his face getting hotter. Despite all that, he smiled sweetly. “I would love that, yes.”

And this time, it was Milo who initiated the kiss. The both of them were really happy. Five seconds and they ended the kiss. 

“Now let’s drown our sorrows in pizza.”

“Whatever you say, Milo.” Zack told him with a smile, he couldn’t be happier right now. And he kissed him again.
