ANGEL GARCIA.

Were there guys checking him out? Zach didn’t know, nor did he care about them. Not when his thoughts were on someone else - that person being the guy standing very close to him. Still, he had to understand that he was here as a friend - they both were just friends. Zach couldn’t risk ruining that, and Angel was trying to make his ex mad - jealous, whatever you wanted to call it. The implication there was loud and clear - while his ex was an asshole, Angel had feelings for the dude, and Zach was going to do this best to help him out here. So when he laced his fingers with his own, Zach smiled, more so to himself that he was up for this. 

Zach watched Thomas’ reaction as Angel spoke and when he was introduced as his boyfriend, Zach could just give him a smug smile. He could also tell how bothersome the other looked. Which meant it was working, which also meant - as seen in every rom com ever, that once the ex knew you were moving on, they were going to call right back the same night. Zach however, held the other close to him. One hand wrapped around the base of his neck, while his free hand snaked around the man’s waist, he didn’t think this was too far not if the other was okay with it. The softness of his lips against his own only encouraged him to make his next move and  in response he closed the gap that was between them and pressed his lips against his friend’s own. 

Zach wasn’t the type to show major pda, so why was it that he didn’t want to break the kiss, and instead push him against the wall now and here? No, he needed to stop, so he allowed the kiss to linger a moment longer before pulling away slowly. He wanted to apologize - maybe for overstepping, but for now they also had to keep up a pretense so he turned back towards Thomas who had his eyes focused on Angel in that moment. “You two enjoy your night, we’ll see you around.” Zach could only respond before looking back at Angel. “Want another drink?” he asked as he brought the hand placed on his waist up to his cheek. 

Honestly, Angel didn’t want the night to end. He wished he could just spend the rest of his days pretending to be Zach’s boyfriend. The way their hands slid so perfectly together, how their bodies exchanged heat as the pressed against one another and how his head felt so hazy just from the lack of distance. He’d forgotten about Thomas entirely. Until he spoke and broke his thoughts, “Honestly. Good for Angel. He’s had it out bad for you for forever.” The man’s eyes widen behind the frames of his glasses, cheeks were painfully pink now as sirens went off in his head. He couldn’t think of what to say so he just laughed pretty awkwardly, “Yeah, well. Lucky me. Guess I got the guy I wanted all along.” Though Thomas was right. Their relationship never would have worked out while he was harboring secretive feelings for his best friend. 

He wasn’t sure the night could get anymore surprising and suddenly those lips he’d fantasized about forever were possessing his own. Angel was taken aback but his body wasted no time in reacting, waiting for this for too long, pressing back against the other effortlessly as his lips meshed against the blond’s. His body pressed into Zach’s, a heated kiss for being in front of so many people but Angel didn’t care. If this was the only time he’d get the chance to kiss Zach, he was going to make it last. The other men seemed to finally get the hint as they walked away but Angel paid them no mind, gaze not ripping away from his friend’s, breathing shallow and his glasses were fogged, “That was...um. Wow.” Words were never his forte, biting on his own bottom lip as he trailed his thumb along Zach’s lower lip, “The best kiss I’ve ever had.” He exhaled softly, nuzzling his cheek against his friend’s hand, “Sure...yeah. A drink. I’m sorry I’m just...I can’t believe you kissed me.”

In all his life, no one truly showed that they cared - at least not for real. The only person who showed any interest in his well being at all was Osbourne, but aside from him, there truly wasn’t anyone. So to hear the concern from Angel only caused a heaviness on his own heart - metaphorically speaking, of course. “I’m here now, aren’t I?” he asked with a smile. Best to see things in an optimistic way than anything else. His statement caused him to shake his head in agreement. “I know what you mean, I tend to stay away from dating just because of how horrible some people can be.” he added. Plus, this town wasn’t really safe for love for anyone, was it? He wasn’t sure, he was always so busy with his school and his work, that he figured dating, love, all of that heartache was best left later. At least he tried to train himself to think that way; His compliment only made Zach blush and he only hoped Angel wouldn’t catch the blush as a smile played across his lips. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. There’s a bunch of hot guys – even at this bar right now, and I can assure you, I am not one of them.” No – for Zach the only person he found any bit attractive was Angel himself. He adored his dorky style from time to time, the way he spoke to him, the way he cared about him. So he didn’t care about the bar - but he was most definitely not the hottest guy. Ever.

If Zach had to admit, he wanted the other to stay close to him. He even found himself leaning into him, his lips now brushing against the shell of his ear gently as he spoke up, “Ready?” he asked in response. Did it bother him that his ex and his new boyfriend were assholes? No. In fact he was hoping their presence would bother his ex as he pulled away from him, but took a hold of his hand in the process. He pulled Angel along with him into the crowd and as they approached his ex and his boyfriend, Zach purposely bumped his shoulder harshly against the man’s. His hand gripped Angel’s hold tighter as he faced his ex. “Oh, i’m so sorry man, we didn’t see you there.” he added while pulling Angel close to him. “I think we had a bit too much to drink.” he justified before closing the gap between him and Angel to press his lips to the other’s ears. “Pretend i’m saying something hot and sexy in your ear and act like you wanna kiss me.” he whispered while he let go of the other’s hand to place against the base of his neck instead. If he had been crossing boundaries, he was sure Angel would push him away.

That answer did settle his nerves but Angel wasn’t going to let it go so easily, flashing the other a soft smile as he gave a nod of his head, “That you are. Thank fuck for that.” He proclaimed, reaching forward to brush his fingers through blond locks, wondering what it’d be like to give them a pull. The other shook his head and pushed it out from his mind. “Dating is overrated. Like I’ve dated so many guys who have just...it was more of a waste of time than anything.” But with his insecurities the relationships weren’t the best. He had people who took advantage of him but Angel also let them. His head couldn’t help but cock slightly, did he detect a blush coming from Zach or was he just imagining it? “Um what?!” The other exclaimed in amusement, jumping up and down as he shook his head, “How the heck do you not think you’re hot? You’re like a literal freaking 10!” His nose crinkled in that way it did when he was overenthusiastic, “I can literally spot like 3 guys checking you out right now...” Probably wondering what a guy like him was doing talking to a dorko like him. 

He could already feel his breathing start to heavy, swallowing thickly as he felt the hot breath against his ear, tightening his grip on the other, “Uh uh.” Though he wasn’t sure if he was. His hand slid into Zach’s with such ease, fingers slotting with the other’s and the warmth was welcomed. Just walking through the bar, hand in hand, made it really feel like they were boyfriends and he was sure they fooled the rest of the others there. When they bumped into his ex, Angel couldn’t help but laugh but he tried to play surprise, huddling close to Zach, “Oh my god...Thomas? Is that you? Wow. What are the odds. I think you remember my boyfriend...Zach.” And the glare from his ex was unmissable, shrugging his shoulders, “Just a bit too much to drink.” His lips parted at the feeling of Zach’s breath against his air once again and it wasn’t hard to look at Zach like he wanted to kiss him, because he really wanted to fucking kiss him but he didn’t want to make the other uncomfortable. His hand travels to cup the other’s cheek, pressing his nose against the blonde’s. He brushes his thumb along Zach’s bottom lip, pressing up on his toes. Angel licked his lips before gently ghosting them against his friend’s, “Just uh...tell me if I’m taking things too far...boyfriend.”

Zach shook his head at the stream of apologies that left the other’s lips. “No, i’m fine. I’ll be fine.” I’m alive, that’s all that mattered truly. He let a smile play across his lips, if ever to assure the other that he is fine. He did smile when his hand came around his own waist, which meant he didn’t mind the close proximity, despite the fact that he was trying to make his ex jealous. “You do know that I never liked that ex of yours, right?” he leaned in, just to whisper towards him. Plus, this way it would seem like more to his ex if he ever saw. He could only nod at his words, which was understandable. He stood by what he said, he didn’t like his ex specifically for that reason. “For what it’s worth, it’s his loss.” he added as his fingers played with the end of Angel’s hair. He smiled at his words, “Thank goodness, it would be embarrassing if I ended up smelling bad.” but even he couldn’t help but note the scent from the other. “You do too, by the way.” how hadn’t he realized this before? “–Also, if you prefer, we can run into them on accident and put up a better display than just this.” he offered.

bright orbs eye the other reluctantly, knowing that no one who was there when events went down were fine. he knew his friend wasn’t fine. but he wasn’t going to push it. instead he offered the other a small smile and raised his hand to cup zach’s cheek, thumb brushing against his cheekbone, “well...i’m glad nothing happened to you. sorry i wasn’t there.” there were moments where angel couldn’t help but feel like there was some sort of sexual tension between them...he’d been crushing on his friend for too long now though he was too much of a chicken to admit it. sometimes it felt like there was some sort of reciprocation. but angel was sure he was imagining it. “yeah i mean...that relationship wasn’t the greatest.” he cheated on angel more times than angel could count but he was just the sort of pathetic, optimistic bastard who always believed him when he said things would change. but here was zachary. playing with his hair and honestly his ex seemed like the last thing on his mind. instead he was trying to work on calming his rapidly beating heart. “well i mean you make a way better ‘boyfriend’ than him anyways. he was actually always threatened by you.” he took another step closer, burying his nose into the crook of the blonde’s neck,  “yeah really good...like. maybe you should show me your cologne. or something.” okay so angel was just taking advantage of the moment but zach really did smell amazing. “oh yeah? what were you thinking?”

he wasn’t expecting the other to just touch him, and usually he wouldn’t mind, but after the crazy night, he was still healing. the hiss that escaped his lips was involuntary but he glanced over at the male. “i feel like a train wreck, i probably look worse, you want to find someone hotter?” he offered. he’d have been happy to do it, hell he’d even pull him over and wrap an arm around him, but would he even pass for that? “screw it.” after halloween night, he wasn’t going to bother with anything, so he wrapped his arm around the other’s shoulders to pull him close. “are you still into him though?” he asked as he trailed his hand to the back of his neck, if only to trail his fingers in his hair. 

angel immediately retracted his hand, cursing himself for being so insensitive to his friend’s situation, flashing him an apologetic glance, “fuck, sorry, sorry...did i hurt you?” he doesn’t touch the other but his hands linger, concern evident as he scanned his friend. he hated that he wasn’t there when all the shit went down. which was a dumb thing to feel guilty for because he probably wouldn’t have been able to do anything even if he had been there. hand looped around zachary’s waist, touch still gentle and goosebumps followed suit after the other’s touch, shivering in the greatest way possible. “definitely not.” he said probably too quickly, “i mean...no it’s just...it was a messy break up. and like...he’s an asshole. i shouldn’t care what he thinks but like...exes are messy.” the man shuffled closer, peering at the other through the rims of his glasses, dimpled grin evident, “you um...smell nice.”

“Wait what.” he said too tired to realize what was actually going on. He’d just gotten off of work, an over night shift that left him more or less a zombie. He needed coffee, but someone came up to him in an attempt to make an ex of his jealous. “Um, you just want me to stand here or?” He asked, looking at the other with a bit of confusion.

it was a messy break up and an even messier relationship and although angel had eventually lost those feelings, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of jealousy. he wasn’t sure why he cared. sometimes it was like that with exes. where you wanted to prove that you were better off without them but angel wasn’t sure if he truly believed that. “yeah! you can stand there. or maybe we could like...hold hands. or like hug?”
