You spended a nice weekend with Zack again. He has been so nice to you, you still cannot believe it, today you went out to eat together at a takeout restaurant.
It wasn’t that big, but for you it was just perfect, you didn’t really like those big firm restaurants, those little spots where you could be more of yourself and for the two of you, were just perfect.

Zack sat towards you, you had baked noodles with some vegetables in it, Zack had tomato rice with some chicken meat and salad, to drink you both had some cold ice tea.
After the two of you had eaten and had talked about each other's week, the both of you decided to walk through the streets, right to the park.
Even when it is a warm summer day like today, Zack still wore his thin black jacket above his dark blue shirt, the jacket you loved so much, of course. You held hands and especially you were having such a great time just by doing those silly things, you leaned into his side and giggled.
At that Zack stopped walking, right one moment later you did too, because you realized that Zack had stopped walking further.
Then Zack turned himself more to you and used his other free hand to push your head up, with only one finger.
While doing that, Zack looked down to your face and into your shiny eyes, smilingly he caressed your cheek with his thumb and asked
“What made you laugh, sweety?”
“Nothing, i’m just so happy to be with you...” you whispered
“Yeah me too” Zack replied, then he leaned down to kiss you.
Slowly you distracted from each other again and then right after it, almost immediately, you leaned into him again to kiss him one more time, as if to let him know that not only he can take the initiative to do something like that.
Zack was a little bit surprised by that, but that didn’t really stop him from giving you what you wanted, no, in other words, he was more like happy that you were able to let go, even for just a little moment.
Distracted again, you couldn’t help yourself but you just had to stare into those sky blue eyes of his, those that you loved so much about him.
“Don’t wanna disturb your staring, but… uhh.. are you ready to go? You can get a closer look into those pretty eyes later again, if you want?” Zack said after a bit.
You immediately had to blush at that, and took your eyes away from his, saying
“Sorry... of course I am...” you said, now back in reality again.
Zack just had to chuckle at that, finding you adorable, and said “It’s okay”
When you leaned yourself into his side again, just because you loved it that much to be this near with him, Zack said
“Alright let’s go then” and then the both of you started walking again, right to the park.

It was late afternoon when you both reached the park, it looked so beautiful, there where so many different trees and different kind of flowers around, in the middle of it was a lake, with swans and ducks swimming in it, people walking around the way, some of them stood near the water and wanted to feed some of the swans, or where just sitting on benches, enjoying the sunny afternoon, while others sat in the grass near the water.
There was even a little water tower around, Zack must have seen it too, he really knows you so well, because he said
“Hey, wanna go to the water tower and see if we can go up there?” while he pointed towards it with his hand.
You were so pleased at that, that you pressed his hand harder and said “Yes Zack” as you walked a little faster, taking the lead to it.
Zack said “Hey, not so fast, gorgeous!”, with a smile on his face, while trying to hold up with your speed so as not to have to let go of your hand.
Once you reached the water tower, the tower itself was a bit away from the park center, but still in it, even with Zack still holding your hand, but not directly behind you.
You looked right up to the water tower, searching for a way to go up there, but you couldn’t spare one yet.
Then out of nowhere, you were pushed back into a strong breast, feeling two arms all around you to hold you tight in a back hug, you knew exactly who it was, you loved it when he did that, it is your absolute favorite thing he sometimes did to you, but still, you just had to look back a bit, for you to know that this was all real.
“Gotcha!” Zack said.
You brought one hand up to lay her up to his own hand and said
“Indeed, you got me”
Then you looked towards the water tower again and continued
“Zack I couldn’t see a way up there yet”
“Hmm…” Zack replied, now looking a bit up to have a better sight, to maybe find a way up there for the both of you.
“I can’t see one either… What a pity… I’m sorry sweety” Zack whispered a bit sad about it into your ear.
But then Zack seemed to have an even better idea, than going up there, because he asked “Hey, what about, if we just sit down under there? It looks so cozy with all the flowers around down there and we could even have some shade down there?”
You didn’t know how to react to this idea of him, you loved it even more than going up.
"Hmm…?" “What do you think of this idea baby..?” Zack whispered against your neck.
You thought you were totally melting down to the ground now, Zack has never used this kind of petname ever before on you, and now that you heard it, you don’t wanna live without it again.
Zack must have exactly known what he did to you, because he started to kiss you on the neck, which was your most sensitive body part.
That alone caused you to have goosebumps all over your body now.
"Zack…" I…" you wanted to say more but you were way too distracted by him, it was so hard for you to form even the easiest sentences.
Zack chuckled at this and whispered “There she is” right into your neck again.
Now finally letting go of your neck he whispered a silent “Missed you” too.
“I’m sorry….. I just loved your idea that much, that i didn’t know what to say to it”
“You just had to say something like “oh I like that idea, let’s do that Zack” Zack said to you, while tilting his head to the side.
“Yeah, i know that now… but still…. we have nothing we could use as a blanket Zack” you said.
He removed his hands from your body at that, while he said “Oh we do have one, don’t worry about that”
You're totally confused at that comment, so you turned around to him, just to see what he did mean with that.
“What do you…” you started to say but were interrupted by yourself and by what you were about to see.
Zack started to take his jacket off, for you it looked like slow motion, and damn, how can such a simple thing just look that good?
Then, with the jacket now off and in his hands, he walked beside you, to go under the water tower right beside the pillars, it was a bit overgrown down under there but not too much.
Zack laid the jacket on the ground and said
“Voilá, a great blanket to sit on for the both of us”
He sat down on the jacket, one leg of him was put to him and one hand laid on his knee.
You said nothing, you just walked over and sat down beside him, you leaned onto his one knee he had pulled up with your head on his shoulder.
“It really is cozy here,” you said.
“Of course it is, at least you got me with you here!” Zack said proudly.
That silly comment of his was enough to make you laugh but also you put your hand on his shoulder to slightly push him back.
“Oh you” you said.
Zack had to laugh at this too.
“We even got a nice view here, don’t you think?” Zack asked you right after, while he looked around, but never too much, he didn’t want to let you fall down to the ground, just of his watching.
“We do you’re right” you said as you looked at the view, while your head still leaned on Zack's shoulder.
“Zack, can we capture this moment in a picture?” “I wanna remember this”
“Oh, what a nice idea, of course we can!“ Zack answered euphorically.
“Which phone shall we use for it, yours or mine?”
“Yours” You answered Zack with a smile on your lips.
“Hnn.. knew that” “Okay, just gimme a sec..” Zack answered while he pulled his phone out, to open the camera app.
“‘Kay so take your pose in and smile real nice into the camera, baby”
You took your pose in, but you still had to blush, while you did, this time because of the petname, damn, it sounded so good when he said that, and mumbled a silent “Zaaack”
Zack said nothing to it, he only chuckled at your response, while taking the pictures, the both of you tried out different poses while being in his arms.
After you both were done with taking pictures Zack put his phone away and said
“I’m sending those to you later, so you can choose your favorite out okay?”
“I don’t wanna ruin this moment that I have with you yet, just by being on the phone for longer than necessary.”
“You are so sweet Zack…” you said happily.
“Only the very best for my sweet thing” Zack answered.
You didn’t know where this side of Zack exactly came from yet, but you don’t wanna let her go this easy again either.
The army already took so much away from him, that you at least wanted to keep this side of him alive as long as you could, and as long Zack allowed it of course.
You moved to lay you on the ground now, with your head now resting on Zack’s other knee, while your upper body rested on Zack’s jacket.
“Zack” you whispered.
Zack looked down at you, while he whispered “Hmm…?” with those sky blue eyes now directly looking into yours.
You smiled at him while you putted your hand up to caress his cheek and whispered
“Thank you”
“Thank me…?” “But for what…?” Zack answered a bit surprised at that.
“You know what I mean, Zack…..” “....for doing all these things together… with me…I am not used to that….” you whispered.
“Then I will try to take care of that more often” “You deserve that” Zack said, while he put one of his hands on top of your hand that was still on his face.
You were so pleased at that, that you couldn’t hold back those tears who now rolled down your face.
“Hey, hey you don’t have to start crying about that now” Zack whispered a bit alarmed.
“I am not, those are no sad tears” you said, while you wiped them away with your free hand.
“I was only touched by your words,” you continued.
Zack smiled at this and said “Okay, then it’s okay, I guess.”
“And you do deserve it, all of it, don’t you ever forget about it, I am here for you, understood?”
You just nodded at this and you couldn’t help yourself, but you caught yourself staring into those pretty blue eyes of him again.
This time Zack let you stare in those eyes of his without saying any word, he just smiled at you and held your hand in his, which caused you to fall asleep in his embrace.

By the time you woke up again, you laid sideways on the ground now, with your head resting on Zack’s jacket, some of your hair had fallen down to your face.
Slowly you tried to get up, you used your hands to push you up into a sitting pose, with one hand you brushed your hair back behind your ear.
Then you noticed that Zack wasn’t beside you anymore, no he was leaning on one of those pillars from the water tower and on his phone.
It has gotten darker outside too, how long did you sleep you asked yourself.
“Zack…?” You asked, still a little dizzy.
Zack looked up from his phone as he heard you saying his name and turned his head to you.
“Oh, you’re awake again,” Zack said.
“Yeah, still a little dizzy…. but yes…. how long did I sleep….?” “Hopefully not that long, because it's gotten darker since and I didn't want to let you watch over me while I was asleep…”
Zack put his phone away and came back to you again, to sit beside you.
“You think too much, sweety” Zack answered with a smile on his face.
“And don’t worry, it wasn’t that long, only 20 minutes, maybe 30.” Zack continued.
“Wanna get up again and head up home?” “It’s getting dark again?” Zack asked you.
“Yeah you’re right, we probably should…” you said.
“Okay” Zack said, while he got up again, just to offer you his hand to get up too.
You smiled at this simple but sweet gesture and took his hand in yours.
Once up again you said
“I’m sorry Zack, your jacket must be dirty now because of me…”
Zack picked up his jacket again and replied
“Don’t worry, I can wash it and look…” “...there are only a few crumbs of earth and grass on it, no problem” as he showed his jacket to you.
Zack removed all the crumbs and dirt from his jacket and put it back on after that, while you stretched yourself to be more awake again.
“So…. are you ready to go..?” Zack asked.
“Yeah I am” you answered him.
“Okay, then take my hand again and let’s go?”
You immediately took his hand in yours again and said “Yeah, let’s go home Zack”

When the two arrived back in Zack’s home you putted your shoes out, Zack did too, he also took his jacket off and hung it up and asked
“Do you wanna watch a movie together now or do you just wanna be here with me and talk….?”
Zack is just too sweet you thought, and answered “As tempting this sounds Zack… but right now…. I just wanna watch a movie and make out with you….”
At that Zack did let out a dark sound out of his throat, as if he wasn’t expecting such a response from you, and for you it gave you a cold pleasant shiver over your body.
Finally Zack took you by your shoulders and answered “....you are killing me right here you know that..?”
“I mean… oh boy… how do I tell you this right here now when you are looking at me with those eyes of yours..?”
“You are such a dangerous mixture for me… sometimes all shy and not even saying any words, the next moment you say something like this to me with such confidence out of nowhere … that caught me completely off guard..” he continued.
“And exactly that makes it so hard for me to keep my hands off you..”
“Zack… didn’t you hear me or..??” you whispered while you looked up to him through your lashes with half lidded eyes.
“Oh I did, loud and clear, I just wanted to let you know how you make me feel when I'm with you…” Zack answered.
"Hm..." “I’m full of surprises I guess...” you answered him and then you leaned up to kiss him.
Zack kissed you back with enthusiasm, he tasted so good, his lips were so soft.
You wanted this moment to last forever, so you put one hand of yours into his neck to hold him close to you, so you could be sure that he can’t go away easily from you.
While doing that, you kissed him more, slow and steady, not breaking the contact and damn.. he really kissed good….
To your regret Zack must have had other plans with you, because he slightly broke contact with you, just to pull on that full bottom lip of yours between his teeth.
When Zack did let go of your lip again you had to take a deep breath in first before you could ask him “....Zack why did you stop…?”
Zack chuckled at this and said “Oh, don’t worry… we’ve only just started yet… I just didn’t want to do this while we’re still here in the corridor… I want you to be comfortable… like I said… you do deserve it”
“And uhh… now that we are back home, I really should feed my cat first, sorry.” “ She must be starving..” Zack added.
You felt like a total idiot now and said “Okay, then I am going to the living room and turn the Tv on and search for a movie out for us…?”
“Yeah you can do that, I will prepare some food in the kitchen for us then, and maybe you can look after Hazel if she is anywhere, okay sweety?” Zack said while he looked down at you.
You just said “Mhmm” and just as you wanted to walk into the living room, you heard some paws walking on the laminate ground, coming right into your direction.
It was Zack’s little cat Hazel, she must have heard you, she walked right to Zack’s feet to rub on his leg and started purring.
“Oh wow, there she is” Zack started saying, while he kneeled down, so he could pet her better “Someone’s very eager today” Zack continued.
Hazel just purred and leaned more into his touch.
“Yeah, I missed you too kitten” Zack said lovingly, totally into it.
You kneeled down too and said “Zack I wanna pet her too”
Zack looked at you and said “Sure”. One last time Zack stroked over Hazel's white, light brown-reddish fur, unfortunately Hazel had a different opinion about that, because she tried to lean into Zack’s touch again.
“Sorry, later okay, you still can let my pretty girlfriend pet you, till your dinner is ready?” Zack said warmly to her and slowly got up again.
The cat just tried to look up to him with her green eyes, while Zack disappeared now towards the kitchen.
Hazel decided to stay with you, but still, she seemed a bit sad that Zack is gone, at least for the moment.
You held your hand out to her and whispered “Hey, don’t be sad about it, I know exactly how you feel…” Hazel turned herself around to you and leaned her head now into your hand “It is the same for me” you whispered, while you started to pet her.
Hazel must really like that, because it took not long until she started purring.
“That’s right, don’t be sad anymore…” you whispered while you stroked gently over her fur.
“You wanna go with me to the living room, Hazel?" you asked her.
Hazel looked up to you and meowed.
“I take that as a yes” you whispered to her, then after a last stroke over her fluffy fur you got up again.
Just as you wanted to go, Hazel meowed again, you turned back to her again and asked “What something wrong?” She looked up to you and meowed once again.
“You don’t have to if you don’t want” you started saying “It’s okay, go to Zack and get your dinner, Hazel” you whispered as you kneeled back down to her again.
After you said that, she disappeared into the kitchen, right to Zack.
“So adorable,” you sighed.
Up again you made your way over to the living room, this time truly.
You sat down on the corner of the black-gray L-formed couch, it always had been your favorite spot to sit, since forever.
You took the remote from the table into your hand and turned the tv on with it and slided back, so you could be comfortable while searching for a good movie to watch.
There was not really something quite interesting on it, only the usual stuff, till you came to the disney channel, right now there was still a kids show running, but later they were gonna show Zoomania, you already knew this movie but you have never seen it together with Zack, you asked yourself if he has seen this movie before?
You decided to go into Netflix and search one series out you liked and just wait for Zack.
The series you had chosen was called Bojack Horseman. It is about animals doing human things, yes they even wear clothes and walk on two feet like we do, drive cars, some of them even have kids together.
Meanwhile you noticed that Hazel was now in the living room with you, she must have finished eating. She was coming right up to you on the couch and laid herself down.
You stroked gently through her fur and at that Hazel started to purr again.
It took not long until Zack was done with preparing food, he sat right next to you, he had some pretzel sticks with dip and he even made some sandwich slices, which he carried on a big plate.
Before Zack put the plate down he said “I see you both are having some fun…” and asked “Want some?” “I’m sorry I don’t have much here that I could offer you…”
“Yeah… she is more quiet than other cats I've seen….” you replied to him, while you did pet her and added “Not yet, but thank you” while you looked at him and continued “You are already more than enough for me, Zack…”
"She really is" Zack said while he put the plate down on the table and after that he immediately leaned down to your face real near to your ear and whispered “Hn.. it’s nice to hear, that I can satisfy you that easily, baby” into it and started to kiss you gently, starting on your ear, down to your neck.
You thought it couldn’t even get any better, but Zack always showed you that it could.
That sentence alone from him, made you melt like honey for him once again, you just couldn’t understand how in hell he always made you so soft for him and then doing stuff you would never allow a guy to do to you.
On the other hand, you did want this the whole day and never want him to stop any of this.
And Zack didn’t, not until he mumbled “Did you find anything interesting on the TV we could watch together?” against your reddened skin on your neck.
You didn’t hear it all at first, because you were just about to get into it, as Zack repeated himself saying the same sentence again, this time a bit louder and with “Baby?” at the end again, ho man, you thought, you will never survive this night with him if he keeps that talking up.
“Zack…” you started saying “don’t do this to me, you’re killing me with that you know that…?” you continued
Zack chuckled at this and said “With what..?” “I ain’t doing anything” with a grin on his face.
“Of course you do, your face says it all, Zack..!” you answered him and you couldn’t stop the grin coming up your face too, while saying it.
“Okay, okay, you got me” Zack said and pulled himself away from you now and asked once again “Aand did you find something..?”
You simply answered “Yeah, I did” “don’t know if you know it already or will like it…. but yeah..”
“Really?” “Which one is it?” Zack asked, now looking into the TV, just to see what was on it.
“What..?” Zack asked, totally caught off guard with that "What the hell is that..?”
You just had to laugh at that and said “That is Bojack Horseman Zack, you don’t know it?”
“It is hilarious!”
“Yeah and I can see why, I mean what the hell…?” Zack answered, still totally done.
You just loved Zack's reaction to that and continued “You already said that, Zack”
“You wanna watch it with me?” “It is pretty good, better than it looks”
Zack just said “Oh yeah”
“Wow really?” “Okay, that wasn’t even my first choice but that’s more than okay for me” you answered.
“It wasn’t?” Zack questioned
“No, first I switched through the TV channels until I came to the disney channel, there was still a kids show on, but later they wanted to show Zoomania” you answered.
“First I wanted to watch this with you, but I didn't want to wait so long so I switched to Netflix and saw this, so…” “We can still change, if you don’t wanna watch this” you ended your long sentence.
“No, that is totally fine for me, I already know the movie Zoomania, but we can watch it some other time together, if you want?” Zack said now with his head now turned to you again.
You just said “Lovingly, Zack” to it, while looking into those sky blue eyes of his.
Zack couldn’t help himself but gulped and stared down into those eyes of you for a brief moment.
“Ah ehhrm… are you thirsty?" Zack asked you when he was back in reality again
“I totally forgot to bring the drinks with me when I first got here.”
“Yeah, some sparkling water would be nice, if you have some”
“But something else would be ok too, if you don’t have any,” you said to him.
“Okay, I have to look first if I have some,” Zack said while he slided forward to the couch, so he could get up.
“Anything else then, besides that?” Zack asked, when he finally got up, just to be sure.
“Some glasses would be nice, Zack” you answered him, while you looked up to him through your lashes into his eyes.
“Oh yeah, glasses, good idea, I’ll be right back with you in a moment then, sweety” Zack said while he now really disappeared back into the kitchen.
Zack was just so adorable you thought.
And what was that, you didn’t notice it at first, but Zack was wearing some gray sweatpants now, he must have changed into them when he was preparing the food for you before.
“They suit him so well” you thought loudly.
Zack must have heard you because he said “Did you say something?” through his apartment.
You immediately realized what you just said out loud and answered “Oh.. no, it’s nothing”
“Okay” Zack answered and continued “Okay, I’m on my way back to you now”

It didn’t take much longer until Zack was back and said “Here I am again, with all the stuff my sweet lady wished for.”
He sat himself down beside you again.
Also he put the glasses down on the table and opened the water bottle to pour some into the glasses he just brought with him, just to give you one of them right over to you.
“You’re lucky, this is the last one I have left” Zack said “But I also brought some ice tea with me if you want some later?”
“It’s fine for me, but thank you Zack” you said after you drank some of your water.
Then you put your glass down and said “Please don’t go away again, Zack”
Zack emptied his glass in one gulp, took the plate with the snacks into his hands and slided back again on his couch, just to look into your eyes again and whispered “I ain’t go anywhere this night, I am all yours now baby”
There he was again you thought, did he do that to you on purpose you asked yourself.
Zack must really be trying to hold himself back, because you have never ever seen him like this.
You couldn't hold back this question any longer, so you asked “What’s gotten into you Zack I’ve never seen you like this before?”
Zack simply smiled at this and whispered “You”
That totally caught you off guard again. “Zack.. I..” you started saying but Zack just put one finger on your mouth at that, as to symbolize you to be quiet now.
“Shhh..” Zack whispered “Don’t talk, just let me make you feel good” he added.
The series now completely forgotten, only the two of you were left. Hazel had left the couch in the meantime and was now playing with her toys around her scratching tree, while the both of you had only eyes for the other left.
Zack put the hand now down under your chin to hold it up so he could kiss you again while his other hand rested on your shoulder to hold you close to him.
“No more interruptions… it’s only you and me…” he whispered darkly against your skin, while he was trailing down his kisses down to your neck.
You wanted to say something but all you could left out was a sigh, while you took his hand on your shoulder down so you could place your own fingers between his to hold his hand tight to yours.
In the meantime Zack was now running his other hand tenderly up and down on your arm, never stopping working on your throat, because for him you just tasted way too good to stop this.
You wanted to sit on his lap so bad, so you just did it, without even breaking contact with each other.
Zack was so surprised at that, that he stopped making a whole mess on your neck with just his mouth on it.
He tilted his head back to look up to you, for you it seemed like his eyes were darker than usual, then Zack put his hand away from your arm to lay her around your waist to hold you on him.
At that you leaned down to him again, with your eyes always looking in his and took that full bottom lip of his between your teeth and bit down at it, just like he did before on you.
At that Zack seemed to let go even more, he let out a heavy sigh and started to trail over your body with his hand.
You wanted to hold his hand further, but you couldn't, you needed to feel more of him, his skin, his everything, so you let go of his hand to slowly move your hand upwards on his well trained body.
Zack couldn't hold back the shivering at that.
Then you released his bottom lip again to look at your lover again, in the meanwhile your hand reached his thick throat, further up to his ear and into his black spikes.
Zack's other hand came up to do the same to you, but otherwise than you he pushed you right against his body at that.
With his head still resting on the backrest, Zack looked up to you with this dark look in his eyes, then Zack started to smirk at you too.
And you knew exactly what this look meant, that thought on it alone sended some shivers down your spine.
The air around you was already heated up, it was so overwhelming, and you two have only just started yet.
You closed your eyes as you felt how one of Zack's hands slipped down under the hem of your shirt to gently run over your bare skin there, it was only one hand but the way he did it, made you let out a sigh out of your mouth.
The touch of his hand felt so good, you always had a sensitive body, then she wandered behind your back to touch you further there, while his other hand held and grabbed one of your thighs.
Then you opened your eyes again to look down into his, your hand still buried in his black spikes, you leaned down to him again to lean your forehead on his, now real near to his face again you looked down onto those soft lips of his and slightly stroke over her with a fingertip of yours, just to look back up into those sky blue eyes of him.
Zack smiled up to you and whispered
"Easy, no rush, we've got lots of time...." "I wanna savor this...."

On the next morning you woke up with Zack in your arms, the both of you wearing nothing at all anymore, only a blanket was covering up your naked bodies now.
Did that really happen you asked yourself, while you couldn't stop but think about what yesterday evening just had happened between him and you and blushed at the thought of it.
You looked into Zack's boyish handsome face, he looked so calm that you just had to put your hand up to his face so you could stroke over it gently.
Whatever you had done when the both of you were just getting to know each other, to finally end up like this, it proved that all of it was the right decision, you did not regret it, not even one bit of it.
You didn't want to get up, because of this whole great feeling of being this near with Zack, to feel him all over on your body, but also you were very thirsty now, so unfortunately you had to let go of him.
Slowly you put your hand away from his face, but not without one last stroke over it, then you put the blanket away from your body to carefully release the hug that the two of you still were in.
Finally and a little bit sad over the loss of his touch, you stood up again, and laid the blanket back over Zack's body.
You walked over to the couch table and made yourself a glass of sparkling water, also you took one of those sandwiches Zack had made last night.
Zack really knew how to make good stuff out of the simplest kind of things you thought after you took some bites of it.
The Tv was not on anymore, it must have gone out automatically after a certain time, and it was still a bit dark inside and outside the apartment, Hazel wasn't awake yet either, she still slept down on her scratching tree.
Then you searched for your clothes again, without them it's getting a little bit too cold here you thought.
After that and finally dressed again, you walked to the kitchen, so you could make some breakfast, more for Zack then for you, like he had said, he didn't have that much here, but the eggs, milk, cocoa, some butter and bread he had, were more than enough for what you had in mind.
You made him some well seasoned scrambled eggs and hot chocolate with some chocochips and cream in it for you both..
As you wanted to sit yourself down on the little kitchen table that Zack had in there, you saw that Hazel's cat food was still standing there, but closed.
That gave you the idea to prepare some food and some water for her later too.
After that you closed it again and put the cat food back where Zack had left it, finally you sat yourself down on one of the chairs, to check your phone.
Today was Sunday and for now, it was the last day you could spend with one another.
You didn't want this, you didn't want to leave this all here, you loved it just too much to be with him, but also you had people waiting for you back in your home so you just let out a sad sigh at that.
"Woah, someone looks pretty sad for such a good morning like this" you heard someone saying to you, you looked up from your phone at that, it was Zack, he was now up too.
"It is not about that, Zack, it's just..." you started whispering, you wanted to continue but the thought of it alone made you sad again.
Zack put one of his thumbs up near your eye to catch the tear, who was starting to push out from it.
"...yeah, I know, you don't have to say it out loud, if it makes you like this..." Zack started whispering to you.
"Let's better focus on the things that we do have and take advantage of this day we have left together, hm...?" he continued.
You couldn't stop the smile that was now on your face and said
"You're right, thank you Zack"
"Not for that sweety, you know that I'll always try to be there for you" Zack said, while he caressed your cheek with the hand which was up near your eye not long before.
You loved those little gestures he sometimes did so much, sometimes that alone was enough to let you melt in his arms.
"Zack, are you hungry...?" you asked him after a while, while you still looked up into those sky blue eyes of his "I made some scrambled eggs and hot chocolate if you want?" you added.
"Oh wow, really?" Zack said out loud at that "Of course, I'm starving to be honest"
You chuckled at that and said "Alright, then sit down, I'll get you everything"
Zack sat down, while you got up to make everything ready for him to eat. "Do you need some bread slices for the egg?" you asked him while doing that.
"That would be nice," Zack answered.
"Okay, here we go" you said, while putting his meal on the table "Bon appetit my love, but be careful, it's still very hot" you added, standing right on his side with one hand laying on the chair rest.
"Always" "Thanks sweety" Zack said and started to eat.
You just caressed his neck with your hand that laid near there on the chair rest at that.
While doing that you realized that Zack was only wearing his gray sweatpants, you looked up to his bare abs, further up to his firm breast, his shoulders and to his arms , goddamn you thought, how on earth can one man look this good and be interested in you?
That sight alone was so stunning, that you wanted to bite into your fist so bad.

But.

Well.

That didn't happen because of some cute and fluffy pet that was now entering the room.
You were already so distracted by Zack's body again, you've only heard those little paws of her walking on the ground, but that was more than enough for you to put you out of your thoughts again.
You did let go of Zack's neck and turned yourself around, got down to your knees and said quietly "Good morning to you, too Hazel!" "How is it going?"
Hazel was completely busy with eating at the moment, so there was no reaction coming from her.
You did find the whole picture of her so adorable, that you just had to stroke over her fluffy white light brown-reddish fur, while she ate.
Zack turned himself around too, while he still sat in his chair and looked down to the two of you and said
"Heey, morning to you too, little fluffy ball"
"You hungry or...." Zack started sayìng but was interrupted by himself, because of that he was seeing
"Oh, how I see you're already pretty well looked after" Zack said with a smile on his face.
Zack was now looking directly into your eyes again and said
"Thank you baby, but you know that you didn't have to do that"
At that you couldn't hold the direct eye contact with him anymore and looked back down to the cat, you just had to blush, how did he do that you asked yourself again, you couldn't hold it back, you didn't want him to see it directly in your face, and whispered
"Not for that Zack, you know that I love animals" with a tiny smile on your face.
Zack smiled at that too and said
"Yeah, I know that you do..."
Then after Hazel had had enough, she walked over to you to rub herself on your knees and started purring.
"Aww.. you see that Zack?" "So sweet...." you said while you petted her.
Zack, was already done with his breakfast and looked down to the both of you and said
"I do" "She's really starting to like you, you know"
"What really?" "I feel so honored!" you replied.
"You can be," Zack said. "What do you wanna do today, do you have something in mind?"
"Not really..."
"We could actually stay here and play a little bit with Hazel or play some video games" you suggested.
"I mean if you don't mind?"
"No, I have nothing against that, actually I really like the idea"
"Mhm." "Then it is decided" you said.
"Yup" Zack replied
"And I really should put on a shirt now, or at least a top, I mean I cannot walk around the whole day just in that..." Zack continued while looking down on him.
"I wouldn't mind," you replied with a smile on your face.
"I bet on that"
"But I don't wanna risk something so.." Zack said and got up from his chair
"Ah and uh.. thanks.. I mean for the meal and the hot chocolate, it was delicious, sweety" Zack added before he was leaving the room to put himself some more clothes on and as you know him, to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
You wanted to freshen up yourself too, so you unfortunately had to get up and let Hazel do her own thing.
Before that, you put the dishes away into the dishwasher and drank the rest of your
warm chocolate.

After you were freshened up, you changed into other clothes you had brought along with you, you chose to wear a black tank top, some dark purple leggings and some white socks.
Zack was already chilling on the couch and playing on his Ps5, he played Cyberpunk 2077.
He was pretty good at that, you had already seen him playing before when the both of you had video phone calls.
You sat yourself beside him, he was wearing a black turtleneck top now, what a blessing you thought, because then you could see all of his great arm muscles move while being with him.
"Hey.." "already playing Cyberpunk again..?" you asked him while you put your head on his shoulder and kissed him there.
"Mhm" "You wanna play too?" Zack replied.
"No" "I'd rather wanna watch you play for now..."
"Maybe later, okay..." you answered.
"As you wish, my lady," "Watch and see the master doing his work," Zack said.
You simply chuckled at this and watched Zack playing his game.
While doing that for a while you've noticed that Zack's cat was now coming out of Zack's sleeping room right to the both of you in the living room to play with the things that laid around there.
You wanted to play with her, so you got up and walked right in front of the Tv screen to where she was, while Zack was in the middle of a mission.
Zack immediately said
"Hey... what?" "Not now..."
"Yeah, yeah..." you just said.
When you were with her, you sat down and started playing with her and her toys, she even let you ticklish her when she was laying on her back, her paws were so cute and pink you thought while doing that.
Later you took her into your lap and stroked gently over her fur while she purred at you.
Sometimes Zack looked over to the both of you and smiled at what he was seeing there.
When he had finished his actual mission he was on he asked
"Ok, I'm done for now, maybe you want yet for a bit?"
"Only when you let me play it from down here, I don't wanna stand up yet, when your little cat is still here in my lap"
"Of course you can" Zack replied, and stood up to give you the controller.
"Have fun, but please try to be careful okay" Zack added.
"Always"
"Did you save after your mission was done or should I check before I start playing?" you asked Zack.
"I did, but you better look and save again, just to be sure"
"And if there is something wrong you call for me, okay?"
"Sadly I still have some work left that needs to be done, I will be in my room while I do that, okay sweety?" Zack said while he squatted down and looked down to you.
"Yeah, will do" you whispered and just as Zack wanted to get up again, you took him by one of his arms to hold him back, so you could lean over to him to kiss him before he could go up and disappear.
Zack kissed you back gently, sadly this kiss this time didn't last that long, when the both of you were distracted again, you took your hand from his arm away, so Zack could go up to his feet again.
You looked up to him as he was walking to his room and couldn't hold back anymore what you wanted to tell him for such a long time.
"Zack" you said, just in time, he was just about to enter his room.
Zack turned himself around again and at that you showed him such a warm smile and said
"Love you"
You could swear that you saw Zack's eyes shining at you for a brief moment at that confession of yours.
Zack couldn't hold back that bright smile that was coming up to his face now and said
"I love you too, name"
After that you looked into each others eyes, you couldn't even say exactly for how long, but then Zack turned around again and disappeared into his room to get to work, leaving each one of you alone, but still with this confession the both of you just made to each other a moment ago in each other's mind.
You tried to focus yourself on the game after that, but that was simply no longer possible, you just stared into the Tv screen and watched your character move and listened to the music that was playing in the game.
Your whole body was suddenly completely flooded over with dopamine.
And because of all that, you didn't want to play anymore, you wanted to go to Zack so badly, but also you didn't want to disturb him while he was working.
What should you do, you asked yourself.
As hard as it was for you, you decided to stay, at least Hazel was still with you, so you could distract yourself with her for a while.
When you calmed down from all these emotions, you turned the game and the whole Ps5 off and took Hazel up into your arms, that must have woken her up, because she looked up to you with her green eyes and meowed.
"Sorry kitty, we're going elsewhere now, are you okay with that?" You asked her.
Again she only meowed, and rubbed her head on your body.
Then you got up with her in your arms, which was difficult, because you couldn't use your hands to support you.
Once you entered the couch and sat yourself down on your favorite spot, you took the remote and changed the channel, so you could watch some Tv with her.

Time passed and as you saw how late it was getting you walked over to Zack's room, he had closed the door to it, he was still not done, what was he doing for so long you asked yourself, you leaned yourself on it and said
"...Zack" "...uhm... are you still busy with your work..?"
"It's about time for me to pack and you..."
"..You need to drive me to the station..." you said, but with every sentence you said youŕ voice got quieter and quieter, you didn't even know if he even heard everything that you just said.
Then out of a sudden you heard some movements in the room while Zack said
"Yeah I'm done, just gimme a sec.."
"Zack I'm..." "I'm coming in now okay..." you said after a while and just as you were about to open the door, she opened up a little.
Everything happened so fast at this moment that you couldn't react fast enough, so you were about to fall.
But then two big arms catched you right away, you looked up to see who it was, it was Zack, of course it was him, there is literally no one else here besides him, you are in his apartment.
"Woah....!"
"Sorry, that was not my intention. I swear sweety. I didn't know that you were leaning on the door while you were calling for me...." Zack said while he held you and looked down into your eyes.
"Everything okay with you...?" Zack asked, just to be sure.
While you looked up to him into those pretty blue eyes of his, you noticed that all those feelings from before were about to come back to you.
They were so overwhelming, that you thought you were like captured in them, you didn't know what you should do right now, but then you remembered that Zack asked you a question so you put yourself together as much as you could and answered
"...Yeah..." "I'm okay, thanks for catching me Zack"
Zack smiled at this and said
"I do what I can"
"Can you stand alone again?"
"I can, yeah, but actually..." "...I like it here in your arms...." you said totally lost in your thoughts, the next moment you realized, you just had said that out loud to him.
Zack couldn't hold back the chuckle at this and answered
"Bet you do"
At that you had to blush again, and this time you couldn't hide it from him, but Zack wasn't such a kind of guy who would make fun of you while you are like this infront of him and because of that he just continued saying
"So uh..." "...you wanted to pack right?"
"Do you need some help, I could help you if you don't mind?"
"Actually, yeah, that would be so nice of you" you replied
"Alright, should we do that together or better alone?"
"I rather wanna do it together with you"
"But for this you have to let go of me Zack.." you replied to him.
Zack only said "Of course, sorry sweety" to it.
As Zack did let go of you, the two of you started to gather everything together to put it all back into your backpack that you had brought with you.
Finally finished, you checked again for the most important stuff you had with you, you didn't really want to forget something, but even then, the both of you would have a good reason to visit the other at his place then.
That thought of Zack visiting you at your own place was too good to be true, that you had to smile, you had to keep that in mind in any case.
"You got everything?" Zack asked you, while holding the helmets for his motorcycle.
"Think so...." you said while you were walking towards him to the door with your backpack in your hand.
"But can I say goodbye to Hazel too before we go, please?" you added after you reached him.
"Of course, i won't stop you from doing that"
"Okay, give me a few minutes" you said and put the backpack down so you could walk over to the living room where she was playing around.
"Hey kitty... I just wanted to say goodbye to you, unfortunately I'm leaving..." you whispered to her when you had reached her and stroked gently over her fur.
She only looked up to you.
"But I will come back to you soon to visit you again, okay?" you continued.
At that she meowed at you again and rubbed her face on your hand.
"I know, I'd rather wanna stay with you too..." you whispered while you saw her doing this.
Then you stopped petting her, Hazel looked up at you at the loss of your touch and slowly you got up again to go to Zack again.
Hazel must have followed you because as you where with Zack again, he said
"Sorry little fluffy ball, but you're staying here, can't risk to lose you too today out there..."
Hazel looked up to him, as if he would change his mind in a sec again.
"No, go back Hazel, as I said you're staying here, I'll be back soon, okay?" Zack repeated strictly.
The cat gave in at that and walked back, this time into another room.
"Okay so... let's go then, or we're gonna be late" Zack said to you.
"...Yeah.." you whispered back and then you took your backpack again to put him on.
Then the two of you left Zack's apartment and walked downwards towards the underground car park where Zacks motorcycle was.
Once the two of you had arrived there, he drove a black Kawasaki motorcycle with some red tones on it, you took one of the helmets Zack was carrying and putted him on.
Right after that Zack put his own helmet on and also his gloves and after that he got on the motorcycle, you did the same, then Zack put his hands on the steering wheel and brought the engine to life.
Somehow you loved the sound the motorcycle made while doing that.
"Hold on tight on me baby" Zack said loudly through his helmet, while the engine was running.
You nodded at this, damn the voice of him sounded so dark with the helmet you thought, it even turned you on a little if you were being honest and then you wrapped your arms tightly around him, so Zack could start to drive you to the station.

While Zack was driving, you could enjoy the sight of all these streets, houses, people and just everything that you were about to leave behind here and above them all your lover Zack.
You put your body against his back and held him even closer to you at this thought.
Zack did let go of his steering wheel to hold your hand in his at that for a brief moment, as if he knew what you did mean with this movement.
The station was getting closer now with every street and traffic light the both of you left behind in this late afternoon and you've noticed that all these feelings you've experienced this weekend with Zack are coming back up again little by little, you tried to hold them down as best as you could, it was too early for them to let them take over you yet.
It didn't take that long anymore until Zack turned into a street with some empty parking lots, it was a little further away from the station but still close.
With a sigh you did let go of Zack and stood up from his motorcycle when the engine was killed.
You didn't take off your helmet right after you were off from the bike, you waited and seized the opportunity to look at your lover again, since he couldn't see it, but he definitely knows that you did so.
Zack was still sitting on the motorcycle, but he had already taken his arms away from the steering wheel, so that his hands were resting on the tank now.
He did look so good, you thought, while wearing the helmet, the gloves and in his turtleneck, even with those simple sweaters, how in hell shall you even survive this, he didn't even have his full equipment on.
At that an idea crossed your mind, but you didn't want to discuss this here, you wanted to ask him that on your way to the station, so you finally took your helmet off to held him in your hand and walked over to Zack to put the other hand on his shoulder to ask him
"Is everything alright with you Zack?" "You're still with me...?"
Zack nodded at this and then he took his gloves off followed by his helmet and got up from his motorcycle.
As Zack was standing before his bike he turned towards you and took one hand up to your face and said
"Everything's alright, don't worry..." "We should go now"
Then Zack took his hand away from your face again and said
"Let me carry your helmet okay"
"Yeah, of course" you replied then you offered him your helmet while you smiled at him.
Zack took the helmet and smiled back at you and said
"What's wrong, why are you smiling at me like that now?" a bit surprised over that.
"It's nothing, I just had an idea before and I wanted to ask you about your opinion about that"
"But uhh... not here okay, let's talk over this while we're walking to the station" you replied.
"Yeah, I agree" Zack said and offered you his free hand.
At that you had to smile even more and of course you took his hand immediately after he offered her to you.
Finally ready to go, the both of you started to walk towards the station.
While you were walking together you couldn't hold back the urge to feel his side next to yours, so you let go of his warm hand to press yourself onto his side and laid your arm all around his backside to hold his waist.
Zack wanted to do the same, but since you were wearing your backpack, he could just lay his hand around your shoulder.
Then Zack looked down to you and asked
"So... what did you want to ask me?"
You had to smile at this again and said
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you can take me to one of those motorcycle events that you're visiting with Cloud, Biggs and Kunsel and always talk about sometime?
Zack immediately stopped at this, you were just about to enter the last street towards the station, and then Zack said
"Baby, what..?"
"What did you just say?"
"Oh my, how are you even real, I mean.. wow..." Zack started babbling and continued
"I'm sorry... it's just... I'm totally flashed... it's like my brain stopped working at that question of yours"
"I can't even form a whole sentence together anymore..." Zack said, while the both of you were walking over the last street towards the station.
You started to giggle at that and asked
"What do you think about that?"
Zack did not answer this, maybe he was still processing it, because it was too much for him you thought, Zack completely blocked all of your questions after that.
In the meanwhile you entered the hall of the station, it was so huge and so many people were there, both of you stopped when you had reached the display to check for your departure and track, actually, you knew it already but you always double checked just to be sure.
While you were standing there Zack looked down at you and took his arm from your shoulder away to pass this arm between the backpack and your back to hold you even tighter to him than before.
Then you've noticed, while you were still looking at the departure display, that Zack leaned down to you, right down to your ear, while he whispered
"Baby, you're just making it even harder for me to just let you go right here..." into it.
This man, this man is absolutely incredible, he made your whole body soft with just the simplest things, how is that even possible and fair.
You couldn't help yourself, but you blushed, again, you wanted to turn your head away at that, but Zack didn't let you.
Zack only whispered further
"No, not this time, you'll stay with me"
"Don't think that you can escape me that easily, after that question from you before" into your ear, while he slightly bit in it.
Innerly you melted at that right here, right now, on this place, it was too much, you couldn't stay here any longer, so you started walking towards your track.
Which one was it again, you totally forgot it, just because of Zack's hot babbling into your ear, thank you for that Zack, you thought.
You tried to look back while you walked to check it, but Zack noticed it and said
"Your departure is on track 7 baby, you already forgot?"
"That's not very like you..." to it with a little smirk on his lips.
That little devil, sometime you will pay him that all back, you thought.
"Yeah, sorry, let's go" you said back to Zack.
With every step you both made, you came closer to your track, as you reached the stairs that leaded down to the track you took a deep breath in and out and whispered
"...Okay... let's do this..."
Zack said nothing to it, he just stroked gently over your side with his hand at that, as if to let you know that you're not alone.
Somehow that really helped you to hold your last nerves together that you had left.
Slowly you walked down the stairs that led down to your track.
Down there you couldn't hold this tight body contact you still had together anymore for some reason, so you took your hand away from Zack's side and then you slowly moved your body away from him.
Zack moved his own hand away from you too at that.
You still walked over the trail line a bit until you found a good place to stand and wait together.
There was still some time left for you together until your train arrived.
Without his touch of his hand here and now you would go insane so you said
"Zack you're gonna have to hold my hand very tightly now or rather I'm not gonna survive all this here" totally out of your mind, for you it sounded very crazy to say that out loud.
At that, tears started to flow from your eyes, you couldn't hold back all these emotions anymore.
Zack put his helmets down on a bank at this and as you said, he took your hand in his to hold her tightly in his and whispered
"Hey, don't start crying, you know as well as I do that it won't be forever that we're separated, we will see each other again, I promise you that"
That only made you cry more.
With his other hand Zack started to wipe away your tears, that rolled down your face, while his other hand still held yours tight in his.
Then Zack slightly put his hand away from your face again, just to let her run down your face to under your chin with just using his fingertips saying
"Look at me, please name"
At that you stopped crying and Zack pushed your head back with only using his fingers under your chin so you could look up into his face and into his sky blue eyes.
"We will see each other again, okay?"
"I promise you that and you know, that I always try to hold on to that" Zack said.
You nodded at him at that and replied
"Yeah... I know that you do"
Zack smiled at you at that and continued
"Good, I mean, after all, I'm going to take you to the next motorcycle event with me"
Your eyes widened at that and then you said
"No way... really...?"
"I thought that I've said something wrong to you before..." with a smile on your face.
At that Zack moved his hand up to your face again to caress your cheek with his thumb and said
"Not at all, I love this idea, thank you for asking me"
A tear rolled down your face at that.
Zack did let go of your hand at that to wipe her away and continued
"Hey, don't start crying again"
That only made you smile more and you replied
"Those are no sad tears this time, Zack"
"And... thank you... for cheering me up before..."
Zack made a step forward to you at that, while his hands still rested on your face and said
"Always"
"I will always try to be there for you... as best as I can"
You didn't know what you should say, so you just kept up that smile at him.
At that Zack took one hand up from your face to slightly run over it with the back of his finger and whispered
"Yeah, that is how I want to remember you... just like that..."
Then you heard how a train slowly entered the track, Zack looked up from your face at that for a few seconds, as he looked down to you again he said
"That must be yours...?"
You looked down from his face at that and let out a heavy sigh at that.
Zack immediately lifted it up again with his other hand that was still resting on your face, so you had to look up at him once again, his eyes were so shiny you thought.
Then you looked down to his lips and up into his sky blue eyes again, you wanted to kiss him so bad right now, so you laid both of your hands at the back of his neck and leaned yourself up to him to kiss him one last time, for yet.
Of course Zack returned the kiss immediately, he kissed you back tenderly without haste or fury, he took the last opportunity he had to give you a nice memory you could think back on.
Slowly the two of you distracted again after that kiss, you also took your hands from his neck again, but not without laying one of your hands up to his face to hold it once again.
You tried to put your hand away from him, but you couldn't, you only stared up at him into those pretty blue eyes of his.
Zack took the hand from his face down to hold her in his and whispered
"It is okay, I will be okay.... we will be okay"
"You can go..."
You weren't even able to say a single word anymore, so you just nodded at him, but just as you wanted to turn yourself around and let go of his warm hand, he gripped her tight again for a sec and said
"But before that, let me give you this, I almost forgot it" Zack said and gave you a little box into your hand he had held with you.
You looked down to look at her, she was so little, she fitted perfectly into your hand,
Zack even wrapped some wrapping paper and a gift ribbon around it.
"What...?" you whispered, and looked up to Zack again at that, you were still not able to form a full sentence.
Zack smiled at you and said warmly
"Don't ask, just take it, but please don't open it until you get home, okay?"
Again the only thing you could do was to nod and smile at this, then you turned yourself around and walked towards your train.
Just as you were about to enter the door towards your train, you turned yourself around again to glance at your lover one last time.
Zack still smiled at you and whispered a
"Go, it's okay" towards your way.
You didn't hear it clearly, but you knew exactly what he meant, so you turned yourself around and took a deep breath in again before you finally got on the train.
In the train you immediately searched for a good place to sit on, normally you would wave towards Zack, but this time you couldn't, you also didn't want to see how you drove away from him while you were in this train, so you just sat yourself down on a place further ahead.
After that it didn't take that much longer until the train started to move and left the station, leaving Zack now standing there all alone on the trail from the station.
At that you couldn't help yourself, but you started to cry a few tears out again.
You still held the little box that Zack gave you in your hand, you already wanted to open it and look what's inside her, so you just did it, even when Zack didn't want it that way.
Maybe it would make you feel better about all that on your way home you thought.
Carefully you opened the gift ribbon and took it away, then you did the same with the wrapping paper.
Then you laid the gift package stuff carefully on its side, so you could finally look at what's inside the box.
But before doing that you laid the box onto your lap, then you slowly removed the lid and with what you were seeing in there now, you knew why Zack said that you were supposed to wait till you're home with opening it.

Inside was a chain or rather said a dog tag chain, that laid above some little bluish flowers, you knew these flowers... and you loved them... they're called forget-me-nots, but where and when did he get them, you asked yourself.
The last thing you discovered in it was a small folded piece of paper.
And besides that, you could even smell some of Zack's perfume in it, that you so loved.
It smelled so good, it was like he was there, right beside you, while you enjoyed his little gift.
You just loved everything about that little box, it was such a sweet gesture from him, that you wanted to keep her and give her a special place in your home.
Then you took the paper out of the box and unfolded it, it was a letter, it said

Hey sweety,
I hope that you will like those things that I put in there for you and that you enjoyed our weekend that we had together as much as I did with you.
This dog tag chain means a lot to me, but you are much more precious to me than this chain. That's why I want to give them to you.
Please take good care of them for me, okay?
And for the forget-me-not flowers... I got them when we were at the park together, better said near the water tower, you were so eager that day that you didn't notice that they grew there.
I know that you like these flowers a lot, so I picked some of them, while you were asleep under the water tower and kept them very well hidden, since I wanted to surprise you with them.
If you want we can collect some together sometime?
What I also want to tell you is, that I wasn't really working on some left work when I left you all alone in my living room, I mean technically yeah, but tbh, at that time I prepared this little box and wrote that little letter here for you, which was so hard to do after that confession of yours you made me…
Believe me when I say that I wanted to be with you so badly at this moment.... but also thank you, for letting me have my space at that, it must have been very difficult for you, to not just come into my room after that....
I hope that you're not too mad at me because of that...
But I bet my little fluffy ball, also called Hazel, was definitely a good distraction for you after that.. :)
Come back home safely and don't forget, we'll see each other again, after all I promised you that, didn't I?

Sincerely your Zack

After you were done with reading it, you held his little letter Zack wrote for you further in your hands and just stared down at that, he really did write you a few sentences on a piece of paper, he is so sweet, it didn't really bother you that the ĺetter was so short, you will still always hold on to all of that he gave you in that little box forever.
You just loved it when a guy did such simple, silly and old school stuff like this for you.
Zack must have paid good attention to you, that he knows something like this over you, because you can't remember ever telling him that.
Then you folded the letter back and put it back in the box. Then you looked at the dog tag chain again, and when you looked more closely, you saw that there was something engraved on it, you took the chain up into your hand so you could read the engraving, it said

ZACK FAIR
19.09.1985
SPECIAL FORCE
AB NEG

"Special Force..." you read out loudly, wow you thought, you knew that Zack had been in the army, he told you that when you got to know each other, but he never told you in which branch he belonged to there, he must have taken good care of it over the years, because it still looked like new to you.
You felt so honored at that, Zack must really love you when he gives you something that is so valuable to him.
Then you putted the chain on and wrapped your hand around the chains to hold them and whispered

"Thank you Zack....for all of this... and yes, I promise that I will take good care of it for you"

"I love you too..." while you looked out of the window from the train, with no tears but a smile on your face on your way home.
