have you ever seen two people more married in your entire life. please
#doctor who#twelveclara#so much to unpack here.#first of all the banter. just kill me.#the fact that he's helping her students on a regular basis. the intertwining of their lives to a dangerous degree#the fact that he jokes about their season 8 breakup as if that's something they joke about#the hug. THE HUG.#suggesting that physical touch is something they Do now#him admitting he missed her. not a huge deal but meaningful To Me.#the doctor who classic 'im never leaving you!' <- dies 1-3 episodes later. which will never get old#can we return to the hug one more time. insert joke about how i know he takes it from behind. and so on and so forth.#and last but not least the way he looks at her. man. stares off into the distance forever#i always forget about this little moment but it really is such a beautiful one

Actually no. Anyone who doesn't like Adric clearly doesn't have a younger brother.

OUTIS send help, Doctor Who is the gift that keeps on giving 😭😭😭 i thought the Toymaker would be the end of it but folks in my Toymaker server made a few jokes about Six. and i had -no idea- about what kind of character Six is. holy FUCK i am in LOVE with this pompous, arrogant asshole 😖💖💖💖💖 he's so cute!!!!! so abrasive!!!! so......PASSIONATE!!!!!! i didn't know he was such a freak!!!! yes yes yes please do rewatch his era because i'm doing it for the first time and having a blast 😂💖
yes,,,, YYYYEEESSSSS. This is perhaps the best development that could have happened. I need you to know how quickly I scrambled downstairs like some sort of Ghoul to try and find the old boxsets and AUGHE!!!!
I FORGOT WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CHARACTER HE IS!!!
He's got such an incredible amount of drama and charisma and wild-eyed charm inside of him, I can't believe how this man has slipped to the back of my mind for so long. Even outside of his borderline regeneration-induced-mania during his first storyline, he's just. such a delight. Colin Baker is having the time of his life delivering every line, and you can TELL
Look at him - what's not to love?
Also, this isn't directly related to our dear multicoloured man, but - thank you for giving me an excuse to Stare Affectionately at Classic Who! There are so many of those delightful quirks and silly set-pieces you can only really find in early 70s-80s sci-fi, sprinkled all throughout, I just,,, ah <3333 it has been so long
OKIE IM RAMBLING BUT >:) EHEHE I cannot wait to see you slip further and further into Doctor Who Fevers. Come yell with/at me anytime, I love seeing ppl experience Classic Who and all the wonderfully wild things it has to offer
#I FORGOT HOW SNIPPY AND SARCASTIC HE WAS POST-REGEN#I MEAN HE ALWAYS IS TO SOME DEGREE BUT ESPECIALLY SO RIGHT AFTER....#“that's three 'I's in one breath - makes you sound a rather /egotistical/ young lady” SIXXXXXX <3333#I do also love Peri being like '>:( god-DAMN you're ugly and old and mean' RIGHT OFF THE /BAT/ AMSDNASMND#AND HIM BEING LIKE 'clearly im having some sort of breakdown. I need to become. a hermit'#STAR I AM SPINNING AROUND W/ U IN A FIELD. HAPPY DAYS ALL AROUND.#I know 6's run is controversial bc he's a lot more arrogant but tbh. so far I'm having a lot of fun. Batting my lashes at him.#call him a showpony because I'm going to ride h- <- outis is forcefully dragged away#I think I only really watched 6 w/ my nan so the memories are more sparse than some of the other docs#a bit more familiar w/ 4th bc he was around for 17234823 billion years (affectionate)#but AUGH <3!!! SIX!!! HE IS SUCH A GOOD TIME!! I'M ENJOYING RE-DISCOVERING HIM SO VERY MUCH!!#also the background music is so good??? like the music in The Twin Dilemma is amazing?? that little musical sting??#I can't remember if it's like that all throughout this season but AUGH <33 Classic Who you never let me down#I also love his little gestural quirks. whenever he fiddles behind his ear I feel my heart go <333333 MANSDMSAN#ANYWAYS ANYWAYS. outis rambles in the tags. an extremely expected development MNASDMAN#OKIES GOOBIE. STAR HAVE SO MUCH FUN.#doctor who#sixth doctor

I see so many talk about RTD1 as if it looked like Season 1 for the entire duration, but it just didn't. There was a lot of trial and error in that early seasons as they figured out how to make the show and refined things as they went. In fact, they were sometimes refining so quickly that the end of Doomsday doesn't even match the start of The Runaway Bride.
#doctor who#dw#rtd1#you can tell by season 3 that the bbc was really fully invested in that show#it starts to look a lot more polished#and then they go the hd cameras for the specials#if rtd had done the 5th season it still would've look a lot better than his first four#despite what many think he did not set out to make the show look bad#he wanted to look like a well made modern action/sci-fi drama#and end all the jokes about dw just being about wobbly sets#he wanted people to take the show seriously#and he succeeded#it is just that we're now looking back at it from 18 years later#which is a longer gap than between survival and rose#in fact you do see this same kind of evolution in classic who#the way the hartnell stories were shot was completely different from how the troughton stories were#while the shows budget has never been huge#it has always changed and adapted with the times

Seven days // Zach mclaren x female!reader
Summary ; After an injury from soccer, Zach is forced by his doctor to rest his feets at home which leads him to order food. It was just supposed to be one night, but it was before seeing how pretty you are. And this is how you end up meeting him almost every night on your shift because he couldn't stop himself from ordering just to see you on his door . The food is great but he's now looking for another taste...
Warnings : None. it's purely romcom coded with all the fluff plotline and the cheesy lines filled because i needed this <3 (the delivery trope is so much underrated.)
Author's note : This is dedicated to @nadvs because we belong in the same zach fanclub. but also it's for all the zach's girlies. ✨‼️
There was no one who loved winter more than you. you were always the first to look forward to this season of the year. From the month of November, you waited at your bedroom window for the first snowflakes, the first white trees, the first mist on the window, the first icy breath on the snowfall. You couldn't wait for the city to be immersed in the Christmas spirit with all the decorations in the streets, the lightened places, the warm outfits to alleviate the chattered teeth and the frozen hands stuck on the pocket. The sunny sky above the roofs of the houses completely covered in snow, the sidewalks buried under the ice, and the snow was so pretty to contemplate in the parks, northern lights and the winter landscapes.
You were definitely a winter girl. that night like all the others where you were not with your nose buried in your books or on the screen of your phone scrolling all your tiktok fyp, you were working as a delivery girl in a chinese restaurant a few meters away from your home. The old couple who ran the house had agreed to take you in, even without any professional experience, and you had always been grateful to them. They were friendly people with immigrant backgrounds like you. You bonded easily, and you were a bit like their granddaughter. It was crazy how the clash of cultures could bring people together.
Because you had been lazing around in your bed for too long, you had to take a fast shower, and leave the apartment quickly. you hadn't even been able to put on a coat as you were already heading to your workplace. the only thing you had time to do was get into the frosty december mood with an eternal classic of your playlist music in your ears called “Last Christmas” by Wham.
you didn't like being late, because it made it seem like you didn't take your job seriously even though it was currently one of the things that mattered the most to you. you had good bosses, nice colleagues and in addition to your salary, you received generous tips. you may not have been rich but life offered you countless things to make you happy.
the only thing she had never given you before was a boyfriend. you'd like to say you weren't desperate about it but you were already in your late twenties and had no experience. it shouldn't be shameful to be single and a virgin but you were starting to believe that you would never find the right person. However, you had crushes but you were just good at accumulating them, not collecting them.
a woman should think more about her studies than about guys. and you agreed, but it was terribly frustrating to see the whole world pairing up when you had never kissed anyone, or even discovered what true love was. it was completely ridiculous.
you pushed the door of the restaurant, your entrance punctuated by a shrill sound of a bell. you greeted your work colleagues, put on your outfit and apologized to the bosses. you were ready to return to service.
“I don't mind if you're late here, but don't be late for the customer " the grandmother behind the counter gently scolded you, with a compassionate smile on her face.
“There is no faster or more reliable delivery person than me. I remind you that I have five stars on the site.”
“think you can beat me?” Spencer, one of your work colleagues, had challenged you.
“i already did. but thanks you, you’re adorable but keep going, I love seeing you believe in your dreams.”
you giggled before grabbing the bag of food. when you looked up at the address, your eyes widened.
“ what's the matter ? ” he asked because of the sudden look in your face. “ Something's wrong ? ”
“ it's just…i already delivered this guy almost everyday this week…i'm just kinda surprised, you know ? ”
“ you doubt the quality of my food ? ” questioned your boss with a fake offended tone.
“ no, lady su. nobody makes better food as you in this town but isn't-it strange ? ”
"maybe it's not about the food that he orders so much." had simply commented on the grandfather who passed by with a steaming tray of delicious dumplings with a plate of Peking duck.
you rolled your eyes, not believing a word he had just said. but he replied with a wink. sometimes you wondered if they weren't your real grandparents.
you left the restaurant before starting your motorcycle. on the way, you began to regret not having brought a jacket or scarves because you were starting to shiver. the cold was terrible with the wind which literally felt like a blizzard. your body felt colder against the temperature and you had been sneezed on several times. your ears were icy, and you were sure your bones were frozen. at least your fingers were.
you parked in front of the building. you rang the bell for him to open the building door for you before going up the stairs.
you knew the place by heart now that you came there every day. even though you tried not to think about it, it gave you a strange feeling knowing that he ordered at the restaurant every day. it was quite curious. you recognized that the food was incredibly good, but so much so that he wanted to eat it every day?
no way.
impossible.
you weren't complaining about having such a good client, it was very cool but you had to ask yourself questions. you barely had time to knock on the door when it opened, as if he had pathetically and desperately waited behind until you arrived.
“hey” his voice was always so friendly, so eager to greet you.
“hey” you replied with the same intonation, before handing over the bag of food.
Usually, you never bothered to take a closer look at your customers. you delivered and left but this time, you couldn't help but observe him from the third time you came. he must have been the same age as you. he was easily taller than you, his size forcing him to look down on your frame. he had intensely blue eyes, even brighter in the light of the hall.
and you could tell by his athletic shape that he had a sports career at his college. but judging by the way he grimaced when he walked, it was on break. you could tell that he had recently had a problem with his foot. you didn't need to have studied medicine to know that.
even if he wanted to hide it from you, you could hardly ignore that he was in pain.
as he picked up his bag, you sneezed. three times in a minutes. you tried to appear completely normal but it would have been hard for him to act like he hadn’t heard anything.
“i’m s-sorry.” you apologized. “ i'm fine. ”
“don’t tell me you deliver in those clothes ? ”
"it's okay. it's not about the co..." you sneezed.
“what did you say already?” he mocked you softly. “hold on. can you wait just a second?”
“w..."
you couldn't finish your sentence as he already had his back turned to you. you sighed slightly. you couldn’t lie about how terribly cold you were. you were shaking, and your cheeks were frozen.
when he returned, he was holding a jacket in his hand.
“I can’t accept it, I’m sorry.” you politely refused.
“I’m not going to let you go without it.”
“It’s embarrassing. and it’s not mine.”
he placed the jacket on your shoulders, ignoring your words. “now it’s yours. ”
“ you're too kind. I’ll give it back to you after my shift.” you replied, thanking him.
“It can wait until tomorrow.”
"Are you sure? I don't want to take advantage of your kindness."
“you’re better like that…” he hesitated for a long time before answering. “It looks good on you, better than it does on me.”
“then I should keep it.” you joked.
your little moment was interrupted by the vibration of your phone. it was spencer. you smiled, and replied “sorry, I have to go.”
you came home around two in the morning, the night had been long but warmer with your client's jacket on your back. you felt so good in it that when you got home, you kept it on for a few more minutes. the garment carried his scent, it was soft and surprisingly light as a perfume.
the next night he ordered again. you had left home early so as not to be late for work. he ordered at the same time every day, and he was very conscientious about this detail. so he was always your first customer of the day.
you had picked up the food, and walked over to his house in a fuzzy coat and matching boots. you had opted for something warmer, and you were carrying three bags in your hands. Chinese food, coat and apple shortbread with an aromatic touch of cinnamon and spices. you had spent your free time cooking instead of studying in order to thank him for kindly lending you his coat because it had saved you.
you followed the recipe from a culinary influencer that you followed on Instagram. you hoped that would have an effect on him.
you rang the doorbell. and the moment he opened the door, you were about to greet him with your charming delivery girl voice, but the words stuck wildly in your throat. you swallowed hard, forcing yourself to stay calm.
you were by no means shy, but he had literally managed to shove all of your self-confidence down your soul with his half-naked appearance. a hot steam hovered his tonic body and a white towel loosened his sculpted hips.
his chest was hot and wet as if he had just come out of a sauna. you wanted to look away but how were you supposed to ignore the size of his biceps when he rubbed his hair, the shaking movements of his arm making splash some beads of water. how were you supposed to ignore the six-packs exposed under your eyes. this body was just full of sins and you were about to lose your job if you heard your thoughts.
you gulped loudly, before finally being able to speak your mind. “ hey ! here’s your jacket. and i… ”
his smile was huge and in a way so warm. but mostly, it was his gaze. the way his eyes were fixed on your face, and your opened lips to catch every word of your mouth killed you. you tried to avoid his piercing stare but you couldn't escape it.
“ i made you some shortbread. i just hope you like cinnamon and apples. ”
“ you really made this for me ? ” he asked, like he couldn't believe it himself.
“ it's my way to show you how thankful i am. ”
“ seems like you've got a lot for me today. ”
“ "It's nothing. And you're a loyal customer. It's very nice to order from us every day. My bosses appreciate it."
“my name is zach.” he replied, holding out his hand to you.
“y/n.”
“I should have known you had a pretty name.”
you smiled before giving him all the bags. he returned a few seconds later with the tip. and your eyes widened at the amount.
“ wow... that's nice but i don't think I deserve that much money. "
“ you don't want my money ? ” he teased you softly, a little smile curving his lips. “ what can I offer you that would please you ? ”
“ you don't need to. just stay safe, okay ? ”
“ it comes from the girl who makes deliveries on cold winter days without a jacket. ”
“ i was stupid, it doesn't count. and I was late to my job, I didn't think too much. but now can you see ? i've got a superb coat. ”
he stared at you longer than he should. obviously, you were pretty. you were coming back from a long drive in the wind. you still had snowflakes in your hair, the tip of your nose was damp from the cold, your lips were slightly chapped and your breathing was foggy. you also wore an earmuff on your head which made your hair sag.
but you still looked so beautiful to him. his eyes were sparkling under the lights of the hall of his apartment.
“ would you mind if i ask you why you are ordering everyday ? i mean yea the food is really great and i'm happy that you're enjoying it truly. but it can't possibly be this awesome ? and deliveries cost some money at the end of the day, so is it…just about the food already ? ”
you know it was a risk to ask something like that but you couldn't hold yourself to hide this thought. you kept coming back everyday to his place, it was kinda your right to want to know. and also, he was not forced to answer you. you were anxious and afraid because you didn't want to seem bothered by him. you started to play with your fingers, slowly biting nervously your lower lip.
a little chuckle came from his mouth, before answering your thoughts. “ you've got me. ”
“ you think i'm dumb, zach ? ” you lighty joked to relieve the tension.
“ oh no. i know you're smarter than me, ma’am. ”
“ it's not true. you're just obvious. ”
“ but the food is really good. ” he defended himself by pulling out of the bag the box of noodles. “ want a bite ? ”
“ i'm working. ” you said.
“ actually, you're talking to me. ” he corrected.
how silly.
“ to be honest, i need to go back to work. my bosses will not be happy if i took too much time with a client. ”
“ then let's see each other without you being the delivery girl and me being the client. ”
“ i don't think it's professional. ”
“ think the way you stared at me when i opened the door was professional too ? ”
“ you know what you were doing. ” you mumbled in your throat.
“ and you're just mad because it worked. admit it, pretty. ”
you rolled your eyes and he laughed. “ it's not like you've got the body of an old man. ”
“ i'm a soccer player so i need to stay in good shape. i'm working out every day. ”
“ oh i totally suck at this game. ” you admitted.
“ you just need to learn. ” he answered. “ because, i promise, it's easy for a sport. ”
“ i don't know if i can trust you when i look at your foot…it doesn't look better since i come here…”
you didn't realize what you had just said until you caught his intense and piercing blue gaze on you. you looked away and he responded.
you had observed him. and you had just exposed it.
“It’s just an accident. It's nothing serious. I just have to be careful for a month but then I can start playing soccer and matches again. "
“you have to really love it to want to pick it up after an accident.”
“I don’t really have a choice.”
you would have loved to finish this conversation and even chat a little more with him but the clock was ticking and you had other clients.
"Okay. We can see each other again as normal people."
you wrote your number on a piece of paper before greeting him. you felt a little sorry for cutting him off in such a serious moment like this but you didn't have time anymore.
you couldn't afford to lose your job. you needed it. you were a student and you didn't really have the choice of working if you wanted to enjoy life, which was quite ironic.
When you got home, you had your phone on. zach sent you a message.
zach mclaren: hey
zach mclaren: your shortbreads were perfect
you: maybe i should start a business :)
(you boost my ego. thank you.)
zach mclaren: you know how to boost my ego too when you stare at me for so long
you: i was just checking that you don't get cold...
zach mclaren: you're not good at lying
zach mclaren: it's a compliment
you: i'm going to sleep.
zach mclaren: are you working tomorrow? i would love to see you
you: you're lucky. it's my day off.
it had already been half an hour since you said you were going to sleep but you continued to text zach. you would probably regret it tomorrow when you were half asleep in class but for now, you were responding to all his texts every second.
after your day of classes, you came home to change. you were meeting zach at the christmas market in a few minutes and you wanted to look presentable. you had arrived early for the meeting for fear of being too late, you hoped not to seem desperate or in too much of a hurry. when you saw his silhouette in the crowd, you smiled.
he was walking towards you, his hands in his pockets, and his lips were twisted into an adorable smile that was only addressed to you.
It was so warm in places like that but it was even better when you had someone by your side. you would think he was your boyfriend but he wasn't. you were still sadly single in winter.
“did you find something you like? " he asked.
“i was waiting for you.”
“ did you wait a long time ? ” he was now worried, but you reassured him.
“ also last time you said that you didn't have the choice to continue soccer…and i was wondering why ? i mean, there are a lot of alternatives. ”
“ i'm just…good at it ? i always focused on soccer since i'm a kid, and i've got no other skills or passions so i can't really give up. ”
“ there is no other things that you're good at except that ? i don't believe you. yes, i don't know you but you can't tell me you're only skilled at just shooting your feet in a ball. ”
“ i really need to show you what soccer is. ” he chuckled out loud, looking at you're confused look.
“ what do you do when you're at home ? you're just watching TV ? don't you read ? ”
“ it's boring to read. ”
you tried not to wince at his comment but your mouth was pursed slightly. “Have you ever tried to at least read some?”
you chatted while walking through the aisles filled with small traders. there was everything: jewelry, food, scented candles, soaps and body care, clothes and scarves, local products and a lot of other things.
“ i want to look at the scarves. maybe, i will find another one to add to my collection. ”
he nodded. honestly, all your desires were orders. he couldn’t say no to your sparkling eyes.
he followed you to the stand run by a lady behind her counter. she was quick to greet you as if you were her first customers of the day.
you grabbed the white scarf before wrapping it around your neck in front of the mirror. the wool was so soft.
you turned around to ask zach’s opinion but he was already looking at you. all his attention was fixed on you.
“it looks very pretty on you. you should pick that one. “
you didn't need to look in the mirror again because his gaze was terribly convincing.
White was certainly an ordinary color but with the tone of your skin, it was the ideal layering. the glow of your features was what made this scarf look so good, and what made you so attractive. Zach was literally watching you with stars in his eyes, trying so hard to not exposing his feelings but you were just so pretty with that accessory and your smile was literally taking his breath away. “ very pretty ” he whispered before towering with his height, using his hands to adjust the scarf around your neck.
His touch was so gentle, cold because of the snow that fell from the sky and gave your bones little shivers. You slowly met his gaze as his face was across yours, his fingers still wrapped around the fabric of the accessory.
Your mouth was agape, filled with tiny breathing that was tickling the space between you and him. You felt every snowflakes on your hair, your face getting colder with time.
When he took a step back, you looked away quickly.
“ i'm gonna take it then ! ”
“ you should. ”
when you were about to take out your wallet, he had already taken out his card to pay.
“You’re lucky to have a boyfriend like that. ” the lady commented.
“ he's n…” for some reason you didn’t continue your sentence.
you had just continued on your way to turn towards a food stand.
"you shouldn't have paid. I'll reimburse you..."
“I know but I wanted to do it. ”
"ok, then let me buy you something in return. why not a smoothie? athletes like that, right? it's fruity, it has vitamins. it's nutritious. let me find the perfect taste for you. ”
zach was lucky that you couldn't read his thoughts because he was gonna explode. hearing you talking about his health like that, turning yourself into a little nutritionist was something irreal for him. you were like a dream.
you were smart, gentle, soft and calm. you didn't need anything more to make him under your spell. just the way you were was enough. he was not the type to be difficult in regards to love, he could fall in love so easily with anyone. but the way you were, all the beauty that came from your brain, your physic, your gesture, your mind.
“ think you can do that without knowing every single thing about me ? ”
“ i know that you play soccer. ”
“ and ? ”
“ yea, you're kinda right. we don't know each other. but this is why we are here together in that marketplace. you're gonna talk to me about your life, the things you love, that make you happy and i will just be here, listening to you and realize that you're in fact a sweet boy. ”
“ only sweet ? i'm sure i'm more than sweet. ”
you ordered a smoothie and gave it to him, waiting to know what his thoughts on the state. he catched the straw with his mouth, and started to drink a little of the juice.
“ pretty good. ”
“ i'm glad. there are strawberries, bananas and spinach in it. i know it's the end of the day, but when you start your morning, it's a good and rich combo. ”
“ do you want to taste it ? ”
“ can i ? ”
“ you're lucky. i'm happy to share. ”
“ oh zach, you're too good. ”
“ i can ask for another str…”
“ it's okay. ”
he handed you the juice, and at the moment, you didn't care about the way your lips literally shared around the straw. you were just focused on how good your taste was. it was delicious.
you and zach continued to walk under the snow.
you shouldn't do it but unconsciously you noticed the little attention of the athlete. like the way he held you closer to prevent you from bump into people, the way he delicately readjusted your scarf so it wouldn't fall off, the way he slowed down when he felt like he was walking too fast for you, the way he went where your gaze went, looking at you so often to make sure that you were okay.
he was also a very attentive person. he loved hearing you talk, as he enjoyed listening to you. you were so interesting that he felt terribly boring next to you. you always had something to say, anecdotes, facts, stories. you could convince him to open a book more often with your words.
you had a way of being simply attractive.
when it started to get late, he walked you home. you talked about absolutely everything about cinema, music, sports, activities. you had never had so much fun. and it felt good.
you had even listened to music on the way home. you shared a pair of headphones that connected to your phone while remaining next to each other.
you had arrived at the door of your house, and a long minute had passed.
“thanks for today, zach. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a great day in my entire life.”
“then we should do this again. i mean if you're okay. ”
"Would you invite me again? It would be a pleasure. We could go to the cinema, or to.."
“whatever you want. i just like to be with you honestly. ”
you smiled. and his lightened gaze already catched your smile, while you wisely kept your hands in your pockets.
“ Oh, I almost forget.” you replied, giving him back the jacket he had lent you earlier. “ this is yours. ”
“you can keep it.”
“I can’t accept it.”
“And I can’t get it back either.”
“zach!”
"I'm serious. I'd rather see it on you than on me…”
he moved closer, leaning just above you. you had started to feel chills throughout your body, like squirming in your stomach. the proximity was so close that you were frozen. when you thought he was going to kiss you because he was leaning over your face, staring at you with light in his eyes, he simply blew on the tip of your nose. you shivered before feeling a slight rush of moisture on your face. a snowflake.
for some reason, you were kinda disappointed.
his mouth was so close to yours that you kinda expected it, his features were over yours, his lips were so close that you could feel his warm breathing against yours, and his nose was literally brushing your skin. the way it was so cold outside but every time he stood near you, the temperature rose again. it felt like he was enough to warm you up.
you didn't realize that you closed your eyes because of the sudden magic you felt inside your tummy. it was so strange. when you fixed your gaze on him again, he was two feets away from you and you chuckled softly. “ you scared me. ” you admitted. “ don't do that again. ”
“ i just protecting you from getting cold again. ”
“ you're worrying too much about me. don't forget yourself. ”
“ i can't help it. ”
"i-i need to go, okay. thanks you so much for today.”
“ text me when you're home. i mean in your room. ”
“ i'm literally there. ”
“ i just want to be sure. ”
“ okay. ”
you had been thinking about this day for the past two days. it occupied all your thoughts. you had returned to work, you had become a simple delivery person again.
you made your deliveries and then went home. the routine was the same except for one detail. zach had stopped ordering. now you were friends.
today, you suggested to Zach that you meet at the mall. It was quite cold outside due to the winter wind and snow so it was better to stay warm. you hadn't waited long before seeing him in the middle of the crowd. you were starting to get used to his presence in your life, and it was crazy how much space he could take up so quickly.
“wow, you really came fast.”
“I couldn’t keep you waiting. I'm a gentleman. ”
“I’m not that special you know.”
“I think you are. ”
“ I think you should stop saying things that make me want to fall in love with you. ”
“ Why ? Is it bad ? I'm a good guy. ”
“ Being too good is suspicious. ”
“ Fair point. ”
“ Anyways, does your feets hurt ? I've always ask you for things that make you walk so I feel sorry. ”
“ Don't worry, it's starting to get better. ” in fact, Zach was really surprised that you care about it. you cared about him more than he thought.
“ Really ? I'm glad. ”
you had followed the athlete to the video game store, a place that was extremely foreign to you but it was perfect. you wanted to know so much more about his world because since you knew him, you had the impression of only talking about yourself, of being the only one to open up.
“I bet you’re lost.” He scoffed, watching you glance around. “ You look like a puppy. ”
"I'm getting acquainted with your world. Be nice, will you?"
“I should teach you how to play.”
“ Oh yeah, teach me how to kick your ass. ”
" So this is your only motivation. ” he laughed, taking place next to you.
“ you know, i already play some games. not your type of game but…”
“ which one ? ”
“ just dance. ” you replied proudly. “ and i'm pretty good at it so don't even start to mock me. . ”
“ i believe you. but you know, you need to show me those dance skills one day. ”
“ don't say it twice. out of subject, why are we here ? you want to buy something ? ”
“ yea for my little sister. she loves to play video games like me, and it's Christmas soon so I want to buy her a new game. ”
“ oh so you're a big brother ? that's why you're so good with girls. ”
“ i thought i already told you. “
“ no, because i would remember it. what's her name ? ”
“ avery. i think you would like her. ”
“ i would like to meet her. ”
you kept talking while seeking a present for his little sister. when you find a game, he buyed it before the two of you walk to the bookstore. it was his time to get lost, and your time to shine.
“ so, this is your heaven ? ” he asked, still staring at you.
“ isn't it the most pretty place in the world ? i would buy everything here if i was rich but unfortunately i'm forced to choose only a few books. ”
“ you can read online. ” Zach suggested.
“ i know but this is not the same. i want to feel the paper. and i need to have the book in my room, to add it to my collection. ”
“ so you want to be an author later or something like that ? ”
“ oh no, reading is just a hobby. i learn a lot by reading. i can't believe you don't like it, or maybe you just didn't find the perfect book. let me find you one. ”
“ you really took that seriously. ”
“ this is why you shouldn't joke with me. so now, you're forced to read. ”
The Bluest Eye By Toni Morrison.
“ I've read this one when i was younger and it's beautiful. I think it's one of my favorites ever written. ”
“ I'm sure you've got great tastes. ”
one day, the grandmother who was your boss stopped you while you were going on deliveries.
“are you okay?”
“yes. why?”
“you know that guy you were talking about last time. he doesn’t order from us anymore. is he sick?”
" oh so that's it. don't worry. he just got what he wanted. " you replied with a wink.
A month had passed, and his feet were already feeling much better. he was going to return to university, and especially soccer.
zach mclaren : i've finished the book
you : how do you feel ?
zach McLaren : miserable
zach McLaren : but it was worth it
you : i felt the same the first time
you : but congrats, you read a book !
you : i'm feeling proud
zach mclaren : now, it's my turn
zach McLaren : come over
you : i need to study
zach mclaren : this is why you're texting me right now ?
you : i will be there in few minutes
you left your house after a quick shower to spend the rest of the day with him.
before returning to classes, he invited you to his house.
It was crazy knowing this building by heart even though you didn't live there.
he opened the door for you and you couldn’t help but joke. “ shit, you're dressed this time. ”
“ and i still make you look. ”
“ one point for yot. i've got the food. my bosses are generous and wanted to make the food for tonight. ”
“ i'm starting to be the favorite. ”
“ in your dreams. ”
you entered the apartment.
it was big enough for a student. you wondered how rich he was sometimes. you had started setting the table with all the chinese food, and he had brought the drinks. he had even prepared cakes for dessert.
you decided to watch a movie.
“what do you want to watch? ” he asked.
“ the princess and the frog. i'm in the mood to lurk at Prince Naveen. Isn't he the best prince ? ”
“ I thought i was. ”
“ So, i'm your Tiana. ” you joked. “ You would love me if I turned into a frog, Zach McLaren ? ”
“ Yea. And you will still be the best and the most beautiful person i've ever known. ”
“ I can't believe a man like you is single. ”
“ I can't believe you're single too. You're pretty, you're smart, you're talen…”
“ continue and i will think that you're in love with me. ”
“ does it matter ? ”
you looked at him, turning your gaze in his eyes.
maybe it was obvious from the start. all these commands, the way he looked at you, the way he absolutely wanted to spend time with you, the way he was constantly trying to talk to you. it wasn't just friendship, this affection was stronger, more intense. he wanted more than to be your friend.
what was less so for you was when all these attentions began to charm you. when was the moment, he made a house inside your mind and made you think of him so often.
“ Zach. ”
“ You're important to me. I love everything about you. I thought i was good by staying your friend but i want more with you. ”
“ It's so funny…I was just that delivery girl who came to your place and now, we're just here together…i mean, i'm just surprised…i'm just surprised because your words make me feel so attractive and important. i Always thought that i would end up alone and you just came into my life, made it brighter and now you're confessing your feelings about how you love me just because i was myself. ”
you were too sensitive, and zach took your hand in his, gently stroking your skin with his thumb, before you lost your gaze in the blue fierce of his eyes. “ hey, hey. look at me…”
“ when you seek love all your life and you suddenly feel loved, it's just so warm. you make everything so much better… ”
your words were shutted by his mouth, his lips moved into yours crushing them in a passionate kiss, as he pulled you closer with his hand on your cheek. you were exploding, making yourself a way on his lips, letting his free hand slowly down your body to catch your hips. he stroked them softly, his fingers dancing under the fabric of your t-shirt. you were on top of him, controlling the kiss with your tongue, and biting his lower lips with your teeths. you were pleased by the sounds of his moans under your breath. he was deliciously hot, and you shushed him with your fingers against the wet stream of his lips, forcing him to keep his mouth shut.
“ maybe, it's better to do it slowly because we are just confessing our feelings to each other. we shouldn't burn any step. it's okay for you ?”
“ i think you're right. it's better if we're taking time to make things right. ”
“ sounds like we're understanding each other well. ”
“ i really want to take my time with you, and we're not in a hurry. ”
“ i appreciate you for this. you're my first boyfriend you know and what i mean by that is that i'm…very happy that's you. i don't care that i'm not your first girlfriend because I feel really loved and it's all that matters. ”

BUCK & EDDIE IN EVERY EPISODE ↳ 6.13: mixed feelings (1/3)
[Image Description: 10 gifs of Evan Buckley, Eddie Diaz and Christopher Diaz from 9-1-1 season 6, episode 13. The scene is taking place at daytime at the dining table in Buck's loft. Gif 1: Two gifs on a large canvas. First, a shot of Buck coming to sit down with a bowl of popcorn in his hand, squinting as he answers Chris' question about what's the square root of 162, "Well, it's not a perfect square. So that would be 12.727, I think." The shot shifts to Eddie, who looks over at Chris sitting next to him as he checks it on the calculator. Second, Chris says excitedly, "That's right. This is awesome, Dad. Buck knows everything." Eddie pouts slightly, scrunching up his face as he replies, "Yeah, yeah." Gif 2: Two gifs on a large canvas. First, a wide shot of the three of them together as Buck sits down, saying, "Not everything. I—I think it's just the math stuff. Second, Buck, takes a sip of his beer as he says, "Today, on the way to work, I was able to calculate exactly how many gallons of gas I needed to get myself to the firehouse." As he speaks, the shot cuts to Eddie and Chris. Gif 3: 4 smaller gifs on a large canvas. First, while focused on his phone, Eddie asks Buck absently, "Why not just fill it up?" Off screen, Buck replies, "Because figuring it out was more fun." Second, Buck reaches out to garb some popcorn, smiling as he says, "Turns out, I love math." Third, Eddie reads from his phone, "Well, according to this, people can get new cognitive abilites—" Fourth, it cuts to Buck and then back to Eddie as he continues to read, "—After a serious injury to the central nervous system." Gif 4: Two gifs on a large canvas. First, Buck nods seriously, saying, "Ooh, which I—I definitely had. The shot shifts to Eddie, raising his eyebrows at his phone as he says, "Mm. But some doctors are saying it's not a real thing." Second, Buck looks indignant as he says, "Uh, you—you think I've secretly known the square root of 162 all these years and just been holding out?" The shot cuts to Eddie, looking up at him as he speaks. Gif 5: Two gifs on a large canvas. First, earnestly, Buck says, "No, come on. It—It has to be lightning. The shot shifts to Eddie who points at him and says, "Fair point." Second, as Eddie speaks, off screen, saying, "This guy literally got the power of electricity after being struck. Said the lights would turn on and off every time he walked into a room." Buck flexes his hands and squints down at them as if trying to exert a superpower. Gif 6: A shot of Buck looking at Eddie, grinning, as he says, "I wish I got something like that. You know, ESP, or...maybe the ability to see into the future or read people's minds." The shot cuts to Eddie, skeptical as Buck speaks, and then back to Buck again. Gif 7: 4 smaller gifs on a large canvas. First, Buck raises his eyebrows as Eddie says, "Those sound like terrible powers to have." It cuts to Chris, who says, "Maybe this is just the first phase." Second, Chris has just said, "Maybe you'll get more powers the stronger you get." Buck points at Chris enthusiastically, saying, "Yes, like an actual superhero." Third, Eddie tilts his head, saying, "You did get struck by lightning." Fourth, Chris adds, "Classic origin story," And Eddie nods, waving his hand in a told-you-so motion. Gif 8: After Eddie asks Buck what he's gonna do with his new-found superpowers, Buck says, "Ooh," looking intrigued. The shot cuts to Eddie and Chris, Eddie looking amused as Chris says with a mischievous grin, "He could give me the answers to my math homework." Gif 9: Eddie lightly chastises Chris, grabbing a page from his hand, saying, "Uh-uh. Uh-uh-uh-uh. You're never gonna learn if he gives you the answers. In the background of the shot, Buck smiles and laughs fondly at them, ducking his head. Gif 10: Smiling brightly and joyfully at Eddie and Chris, Buck tilts his head, reaching across the table as he says, "I'm the guy with the answers. I kind of like it." /End ID]
