Next chapter is now up. Apologies for the long delay.
Throwing this out there for Pinto De Mayo since I didn’t have a chance to write anything else (it’s been sitting in my files forever). A feeble offering, I know, but I wanted to mark the occasion with something. I’ll catch up with everyone else’s PdM stuff when I can. ♥
Anonymous asked: pinto - flat tire on a long drive
Peering down at the sorry state of the tire, sitting flat as a pancake against the hot asphalt, it takes Zach a moment to process what Chris just said. “Wait, what do you mean you don’t have a spare?”
Chris closes the trunk. “Precisely that, Zach. I had to use it a couple of months back when I ran over some glass. I meant to sort out another one, but…” He trails off, apparently realizing that he doesn’t have a good enough excuse.
“So call roadside assistance.”
Wordlessly, Chris holds up his phone. Zach groans.
“So we’re in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire and no phone reception. Awesome.”
“This isn’t exactly my idea of a good time either, you know. We’ll just have to walk to that last town we passed through.”
“That was miles back!”
“Do you have a better idea? Besides we might not have to walk that far to get reception.”
Zach’s busy looking up and down the road in the vain hope that another vehicle will come along to give them a ride, despite the fact that he hasn’t seen another car since that last town either. He hones in on a single word, his head whipping back around to face Chris.
“We? What do you mean we? Let’s not forget that this road trip was your idea and you’re also the one who forgot to replace the spare!”
Chris throws up his arms. “Okay, fine! I’ll go, you stay here.”
As Zach watches Chris go, his irritation drains away. He closes his eyes briefly in resignation before calling out. “Wait.”
He has to jog to catch up with Chris, whose eyebrows are raised questioningly making the blue beneath them even more piercing. Zach shrugs. “If I’m going to be stuck here, I’d rather be stuck with you.” Chris’ expression instantly transforms into one of affectionate amusement, prompting Zach to swat his arm as they start to walk together. “Shut up.”

okay i just saw your tags on another post and OMG CHRIS'S BIRTHDAY. zach better still be there for that. i love how much they've been hanging out and how zach doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get back to new york. AND THEIR DOGS ARE GETTING ALONG THIS IS TOO MUCH
Right??? It’s only a few weeks away (if Zach remembers XD). And YASS! It’s like all of our pinto fics are coming to life! I’m having so many feels rn, srsly. *cries* We are BLESSED. ♥♥♥
Okay, as promised, here’s some more stalker pinto.
“I’m okay now. You can go back to bed.”
“You sure? I can stay if you want.”
“You don’t have to—”
“Zach. I don’t mind staying, honestly. Truthfully I’d probably sleep better next to you anyway. You’re not the only one who has bad dreams, you know.”
“Okay. Don’t hog the blankets, though,” he adds in an attempt to lighten the mood, and also to distract himself from the reality of Chris climbing into his bed.
Chris snorts. “I won’t. I might stray onto your side, though. I’m afraid my hugging tendencies aren’t suppressed by sleep.”
Great.
Zach slides under the covers, horribly aware of how spectacularly wrong this could go. He can’t bring himself to regret the decision, though; not when images from his nightmare crowd back in the moment he turns out the light. The reassurance of having Chris beside him, his even breaths filling the silence, is enough to keep that horror at bay and allow sleep to reclaim him.
When Zach wakes, it’s to the uncomfortable realization that Chris wasn’t kidding—he’s the equivalent of a sleeping octopus, arms and legs wrapped around Zach’s body. And, worse, Zach’s body is responding. Suppressing a groan, which is at least half arousal since Chris really does smell good and he’s definitely sporting morning wood of his own, Zach tries to carefully shift out of Chris’ grasp, but the tentacles only tighten in response. Thus Zach is left with a dilemma—wait until Chris wakes and have to deal with the resulting awkwardness, or make a break for it and risk waking Chris up in the process. Neither option is particularly appealing, but he decides that the latter is considerably less problematic.
So, with a quick but hefty shove, Zach frees himself and gets out of bed, leaving an abruptly awake Chris looking around in confusion.

Zach's in L.A. and looking forward to some quality time with Chris at his home, but things don't go quite according to plan.
So this was meant to be my PdM fic - only a week late! Hey ho. Huge thanks to @semperama for her support, wisdom, and beta skills. This would probably never have been published without her. <333
