Still in the middle of 13 Reasons Why season 2 and I’m like, sailing myself on the already floating Zalex ship I mean, how did you guys keep up with all the feels?!?!???!!!!!?
zalex #1
Requested by @alexanderdempsey
Can u do a long shot abt zach and alex? Pretty much all about them secretly dating and maybe zach is still shy introducing alex, so they got a huge fight bc alex being alex had lowself esteem and the gays (ryan, courtney and tony) will tell zach what to do(mostly telling zachs an idiot) jsjsjs i hope u do this
-
this is a weirdly beautiful idea
and i love long shots and letting my imagination go wild so yes yes yes i’ll do it
-
song prompt: mutual - shawn mendes
-
those two lovebirds would build their relationship over PT sessions and alex’s “accidental” boner
alex would always be the one to initiate PDA, especially if it was a public makeout session
the GaysTM (ryan, courtney, tony) would ship them to death
they once nearly made zach kiss alex in front of a very mortified clay
zach would keep the PDA in more private places
“you still with standall, dempsey?”
“fuck off, montgomery. you know that my mom makes me do this”
zach says these things to keep up his profile in his jock circle because he’s still unsure what they would say if he was dating a “nerd”
alex pretends that he doesn’t hear these conversations but his heart is slowly breaking inside
zach, being the completely oblivious fool he is, dismisses alex’s lack of cheek kisses
“admit it, zachy, you’re head over heels for standall boy over there”
“we’re just acquaintances, bryce. it’s nothing special”
alex breaks because he just wants somebody to love him like he loves them
“ZACH REALLY?! WHO AM I TO YOU, A FORK?”
zach becomes really guilty
“you know i don’t mean that-“
“you don’t even have the guts to admit that we’re dating, dempsey.”
“i’m trying, standall.”
alex has had enough of his tries and failures and literally just slaps zach across his face, leaving a red hand mark
zach just stands there, completely flabbergasted as alex stumbles into the crowd of watching students
the GaysTM would have to restrain tony from beating zach up
ryan would follow alex through the crowd
alex skips his next period, knowing it was Marine Bio for zach and he would never skip it
alex completely breaks down, and stays in the boy’s toilets for the rest of the three periods, crying
ryan hears alex inside the toilet and passes him tissues above the cubicle door
“what the fuck, ryan.”
“it’s called sympathy, hun”
“hmph”
zach meets courtney in marine bio
courtney absolutely loses it at zach
“you’re an idiot, zach.”
“what do you mean? he slapped me first!”
“and that gives you the decency to not run after him and apologize? alex is broken inside and outside, you’re supposed to be the glue, not the hammer.”
ryan comes up to courtney and zach after Marine Bio and tells them that alex has been in the toilets sobbing his eyes out
zach becomes a tomato
“well what are you waiting for, zach?”
“what if bryce-“
“fuck bryce, go get your prince first.”
tony threatens zach with a spork that he’d better do it or he would scrape his eyeballs out
zach immediately runs into the toilets and he already hears sniffs from the last cubicle
he knocks on the cubicle door
“i have a landfill of unused toilet paper, ryan, i don’t need more of your sympathy”
“it’s not ryan”
“.........dempsey?”
“uh-yeah, i was just...coming to say sorry, i can tell bryce and the others right now about us if you want to...”
“-*muffled sneeze*”
“are you ok in there? i’m sorry, alex.”
“you think a sorry would be ok?”
“um...”
“fuck you, dempsey. i love you, and now you’re just denying that you love me because of your stupid jocks!”
“i love you too, alex. i really do. i shouldn’t have denied anything. i can make it official. i’m sorry for being a jerk. i’ll change, i promise.”
“...really?”
“yeah, i’ll yell it for the whole school to hear if i had the chance”
“you’re a weirdo, zach.”
“we’re on first-name terms now?”
“dempsey”
“i love you, standall.”
alex reappears from the cubicle looking like an absolute mess but zach loves him so he’s still cute
“i love you so much, alex.”
“...me too.”
hugs all around
a cheek kiss if possible
-
two months later
-
state finals
alex, clay and jessica would be the loudest and most obnoxious people in the crowd
“YOU WIN, YOU GET A KISS, DEMPSEY”
zach would be blushing on the field
“zachy~”
“fuck off, bryce”
tomato red cheeks
the tigers win the finals
zach literally runs over, all sweaty and glistening, and kisses alex
alex becomes a lil potato right there, melting into the kiss
the GaysTM would be screeching their heads off, especially courtney
ryan would probably compose a poem for their imaginary wedding
tyler snaps photos for the yearbook
underneath their photos would be
“the cutest couple ever”
WAS IT LONG ENOUGHHHHHH
A Kiss To Change It All - Montgomery de la Cruz (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/RBWoHz9TCP
As many people asked for a Wattpad version of it, so here it is! I will be publishing on both (as soon as I get back to writing which is in a few days? Hopefully...) And I suck at doing edits for pictures and stuff, so I just did this cover with whatever I found on Google ahah.
