I got another request yay!:
hi! your matchmaker Connor was so cute! if your requests are open, could you maybe write another Zoe/Evan story with their first kiss? either that au or outside of that, whatever you feel like lol
I decided to make it the same AU cause I loved that cute lil world. I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading the first one!
Zoe and I have actually been seeing each other for 3 weeks now!
Thanks to Connor, things have really been amazing! Us 3 have lunch together most days, and we’ve had movie nights the 3 of us, but I’ve felt pretty awful making Connor the 3rd wheel. He insists that he doesn’t mind but I still feel bad.
After school one day Zoe and I go back to her house to her room so I can do homework and she can practice for jazz band. Honestly, that’s probably what I like the most about this….relationship? She doesn’t make me feel pressured to entertain or be so high energy. We both just, enjoy being in each others company doing the simplest of things.
She makes me feel safe. Actually so does Connor. There have been a few times where Zoe is just way too busy and doesn’t want distractions so Connor and I will play mario kart or super smash brothers together. I think they are both such amazing people.
I hated those letters 5 weeks ago, but without them, I wouldn’t be in the position I am.
Sitting on the bed of Zoe Murphy, watching her play guitar.
I don’t even know how to describe how gorgeous Zoe looked playing her guitar. She looked peaceful, and full of love. She was creating something so beautiful but acting as if she was reciting something as simple as the alphabet.
She had the most stunning smile too, one that made me feel welcome and warm all over. One that made me feel compelled to just… lean in and give her a small kiss while she was playing.
“What was that?” She asked me with a wide smile. I watched as she brought her fingers up to her lips and then move them to her cheek.
“I’m sorry… you just. Whenever you play guitar. You close your eyes and you get this-- you probably don’t even know you’re doing this. But you get this half smile. Like you just heard the funniest thing in the world, but it’s a secret, and you can’t tell anybody. But then then, the way you smile, it’s sort of like you’re letting us in on the secret, too”
Zoe leaned closer. “I didn’t know I did that? You notice that kind of thing?”
I nodded and smiled and continued. “Like, I notice whenever you get bored, you scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans, and you’re super into buzzfeed quizzes-- OH and those, teen magazine ones. Um and there was that time last year, when you put indigo streaks in your hair. I thought that looked… You looked really pretty.” I pushed down my nerves. I had already accidently kissed her once, and she didn’t completely freak out.
I push her hair behind her hair. “I think you’re-- I don’t know how you don’t see that you’re-- Zoe, you’re seriously, the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever met. Inside and out.”
Zoe was… beaming. “Would you maybe want to be my girlfriend? I know we’re not like… dating officially or whatever yet, but I would really really like to if you want to. I’m okay with waiting if you’re not ready to! I just thought that maybe I should ask because if I didn’t ask now, I’d never get the courage to----”
I was cut off by Zoe kissing me. Longer than the small peck I gave her earlier, but still awkward seeing as we had a guitar between us. But it was perfect?
“I’d really like to be your girlfriend, Evan.” She smiles at me and it takes all I can in me not to actually scream.
Zoe Murphy. The girl I have liked secretly for almost 2 years is now my girlfriend.
“This is really weird, but am I allowed to go tell Connor?” I laugh “I mean just seeing as he is the one that got us to talk in the first place.”
Zoe laughs too, “Yeah, I guess you’re right. Connor is like a weird, emo cupid.” My laughs haven’t stopped “Oh God, now you’re making me picture him in like a diaper with a bow and arrow thats all black that shoots people because it’s fun but ends up making people happy together.”
Zoe usually doesn’t get to the point of laughing so hard that she snorts but here we are. If I thought her smile was beautiful, her laugh trumps that by 3 times. I kiss her cheek quickly and then start for the door. “I’ll be right back.”
I run down the hallway to Connors door and knock excitedly.
“Jesus fuck I am coming, you don’t have to break my fucking door.” Connor said a bit annoyed but as not like he was angry annoyed so it was okay.
“Oh, it’s you. What’s up Evan? I thought you were having a Zoe day today?” I let myself into his room and flop onto his bed.
“I am! I just. I needed to come and tell you that it happened! You’re a matchmaker!”
“I’m a …. What?” Connor looked concerned.
“A Matchmaker! Zoe is my girlfriend now! We just kissed like 3 times and---holy shit I wonder if she realizes that she was my first kiss?” Connor just laughs and sits at the end of the bed by my feet.
“Congrats man. I mean, Zoe seriously hasn’t been this happy before. And I guess that means you and I can keep being friends. Now that you guys are official, does that make me and official third wheel?” he laughed.
“Proud of you dude. Now go. Enjoy your Zoe day.”
