“I’m fine,” Victoria shook her , waving off his concerns. “But are you?” Her eyes made it clear what she meant. “Are we?” She didn’t know what she’d do if the answer was no, but at least she would know, and could save herself from getting hurt. Maybe.

“What do you mean are we? Vic...” Zach asked, looking the other over as concern raised. “Vic How are we not okay? If we weren’t okay I would say something.... Vic you are amazing.” The boy stated as he sat up looking over the girl.

“Anything I want?” She eyed him carefully for a moment, chewing on her lower lip as she debated whether or not to broach the subject of his distance, before sucking in a breath. As much as she hated the idea of what he might say, she couldn’t keep living in wonder, not when so many other things in her life were uncertain. “Can we talk?”

“Anything you want... Why have anything in mind” Zach nodded, smiling at her, although that smile soon dropped as she asked to talk with him. “Talk? What about Vic? You cool? Not to hot?” He asked quickly, eyeing the girl.

She watched him go, the smile fading the moment he was out of the room. Sighing, her hand came up to her mouth, teeth chewing lightly at the side of her thumb as she slipped into thought. Not knowing what was wrong sucked, and she hated it, but with everything else that was going wrong in her life, she couldn’t bear losing Zach as well. Perhaps that meant she just needed to pretend… but how was that fair on either of them?

She was still deep in thought when Zach came back into the room, and she glanced up, hand dropping from her mouth as she forced a smile, reaching to accept the offered bowl of ice cream. “Thanks.” A shake of her head followed his question. “Uh, honestly, I don’t know. I kind of spaced for a moment,” she admitted.

Zach couldn’t help but blink as the other mentioned that she had become lost in thought in his brief absence. “We can rewind then, if you want.” He offered leaning over to press a kiss to her cheek. “Or if you aren’t enjoying the movie we can find something else. Anything you want Vic we can do.”

Neither his answer nor the charming grin were able to dissolve the worried frown. There was something that he wasn’t telling her. She wouldn’t mind him keeping secrets, after all she was doing the same when it came to her dad being sick, but this felt more personal, as if it had something to do with her, and that’s what bothered her.

Still, she couldn’t quite bring herself to push for an answer she wasn’t sure she wanted to hear, and so she forced a smile, trying not to overthink the way he kissed her cheek, seeming to move away from her almost instantly. “I feel like both is just being greedy,” she chuckled, pleased with how normal her voice sounded. “I think I’ll just go with the ice cream today.”

“Ice-cream it is. I’ll be right back.” Zach smiled softly before heading into the kitchen. The smile dropping instantly and a soft sigh left him as he just stood there, the freezer door wide open. The cool air hitting him, but only effecting him for a short time. Finally he pulled the tub out, filling a bowl for Vic and just having a large spoon for himself before returning.

“Ice-cream as promised” He hummed happily as he handed over the bowl before taking his seat again, body pulled in even closer to himself. “Did I miss anything good?” He asked, pointing the spoon of his towards the TV/

When she’d first met Zach, Victoria had been expecting things to last a couple of weeks at the most, just a bit of fun and a much needed distraction from everything going on with her dad. As time had gone on though, she’d found herself feeling something real for him, though she was hesitant to admit it out loud.

And perhaps that was a good thing, because recently he had seemed to draw away from her, becoming less cuddly. As much as she tried to ignore the behaviour, she couldn’t deny that it bothered her. What had she done? If she had upset him in any way, she wanted to fix it.

Of course, there was a voice in her head that said that there was nothing she could do to fix it, that Zach was simply losing interest in her. Really, she couldn’t blame him if he was. Her family issues had caused her to break down in his presence, and on top of that her dad had been less than accepting. Maybe he was just deciding that it wasn’t worth it. That she wasn’t worth it.

They’d been lounging on the couch for some time now, and slowly Victoria had found herself inching towards Zach, half on instinct and half out of curiosity. Seeing him shuffle away from her, she looked up, a slight frown creasing at her face. “You okay?” It was the only question she could bring herself to ask.

“Hmm?” Zach hummed in question as he heard the question come from the other. “Am I okay? Vic why are you asking such a question. I am definitely okay.” The boy insisted with that charming grin. “Why wouldn’t I be okay Vic? I mean I am spending the day with you and watching such cheesy movies.” The boy chuckled before getting up and stretching.

“Although I believe I promised you something a little sweeter that these cheesy movies.” He hummed, quickly leaning over to give the other a quick peck on the cheek. Doing his best not to linger to close for more than a second. “Lemon meringue or Ice-cream or you know both?”

Everything was going well. Himself and Vic had been a thing for a couple months now and well. Zach couldn’t be happier spending his time with the Stark. Most of their time together was spent snuggled together, watching movies and eating sweets. It was relaxing. However something was growing more and more on his mind. As the temperature rised outside. the more Zach was feeling self conscious. His own body temperature was higher than most others and in past relationships there had been arguments over the one thing he could not help. He especially didn’t want this to happen with Vic.

Slowly over time Zach was starting to reel himself in. The boy became less cuddly, avoiding body contact with Vic for more than a few seconds. He could have this happen again. He didn’t want the pointless arguments.

The pair were lounging on the couch, although Zach curling up on his own in the corner. as he could see Vic sprawled out, as if her body was slowly moving closer and closer. But he couldn’t say anything. He just shuffled his own body against the arm of the chair more, trying to make some more space between them.

Victoria: Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you

Victoria: I just couldn't sleep. My brain doesn't really want to switch off for the night

Zach: It's fine. I don't have classes right now so just expect me to sleep in if you keep me up all night!

Zach: I would invite you over to relax in bed with me... But well with the time and all.

Victoria: Now, that would just be telling, wouldn't it? 😏

Victoria: Only one? Damn, Zach. I hope there's something else for me to eat, you're not the only one who's hungry!

Zach: >.>

Zach: Sorry I was starving after my gym session! I promise there is ice cream... I can order more pizza if I have to

Victoria: Are you awake?

Victoria: I mean it's 2am so you shouldn't be but... are you?

Zach: I mean I am now... Do you need something Vic?

Victoria: You know it's a really good thing you're hot

Victoria: Because you're LITERALLY hot

Victoria: Like it would just be ironic if you weren't physically hot

Zach: This is why I buy so much ice... to literally cool down

Victoria: Be warned that if you eat all the pizza before I get there, I will be getting my revenge 😈

Zach: Revenge? What kind of Revenge.... there is some pizza left

Zach: Okay maybe just one slice... I was hungry!!!

“Oh dear, when I was your age it was a 50/50 shot that I didn’t end up dropping things,” Kitty replied, when I was your age she wasn’t that old was she? “Political Sciences.”

“And with me there is a 60/40 chance things will set on fire.” The boy muttered, crossing his arms. “And yeah Political science, I don’t take that class.”

“Because I didn’t think through this particular life choice very thoroughly,” she replied somewhat sarcastically, “I’ll give you extra credit when the school year starts?”

“And what classes do you teach?” Zach asked with a raised eyebrow. “Extra credit doesn’t mean much if you aren’t running a class I attend.” The boy noted as he looked over the boxes. “Besides. I am probably not the best choice in people to carry cardboard boxes. I am a little hot handed.”

Kitty was moving into her new place on campus, it was pretty nice. She was just excited to be closer and more involved in everything. “Hey you, you’re going to help me with these boxes,” she pointed to the first person she saw in the hallway.

“Excuse me?” Zach blinked, looking at the other. “uh... who left boxes sitting in the hall?” He asked, crossing his arms. The boy was on his way to meet with Tori. “Why didn’t you just hire movers?”
