This chapter is so fluffy and sweeter than sweet corn. I like it so much and I hope you guys do too.

"I WANT THIS OMG" Evan screamed, drawing the attention of the whole store to us. Even the dogs.

"Isn't it too small?" the kitten looked too small to be raised on its own. It was so cute nonetheless.

"If you like them big then that's your problem" I couldn't help but feel that there's a deeper meaning to what he said but I brushed it off.

"Fine then, we'll get this one"

"Yes!" he cheered. His eyes were wider than ever and his whole face was bright. I loved that. He deserved to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy at least once in their lives. I wanted him to be happy. I wanted to make him happy. I wanted to be the reason he's happy. But knowing how life treats me sometimes, my chances were low.

Evan//

"Will he be mad?" I was worried that Liam would be mad at us for buying a cat. But it looks so nice you can't say no to those pearly green eyes. We named her Mistletoe. I called her toe. She was as white as Rue.

"He's not gonna be mad" Zac told me for like the thirtieth time.

"Ok but what if he got mad that we didn't tell him"

"For the last time, He Is Not Gonna Be Mad".

"Ok".... "But what if"

"Evan!"

"Ok fine. But if he's mad it's all on you" why do people face palm a lot when I'm talking to them?

We were still at the pet shop, buying her food and litter and such.

Zac picked up a litter box and I immediately disagreed.

"Put that thing down and pick the blue one" He shook his head and got the blue one instead.

"I swear to God I don't know why I put up with your weirdness"

We got everything we need and went back home.

We were in Zac's room, with Mistletoe moving around, clearly weirded out by the new place.

"It's so adorable" Zac said.

"I know right? She's too cute"

"I'm talking about you" he clarified and I was taken aback by his comment. "You look really happy and I don't want anything to wipe away your grin"

He was so precious. I scooted over so I was next to his cross-legged figure and kissed his cheek.

He stood up and took off his shirt with one swift move. His muscles rippled as his arms flexed and I immediately felt my tongue twitch.

"I'm going for a swim" It all flashed back.

"Aren't you supposed to rest?"

"I am, but I really feel stiff, and a small swim won't hurt anyone" He was already halfway through the room.

"Just so you know, I'm not letting you out of my sight"

He smirked an evil smirk. "Then," he took off his pants and was down to his boxers "we're both gonna have fun". He fucking knew what he was doing to me and I wasn't even mad. He was hot as hot things.

He went on his way to the pool and I went to pick up Toe. "Come on Toe, we're going to perv on my stepbrother let's go".

I followed Zac, with Toe tucked under my arm. He was already in the water, doing slow laps. I went to the sitting area and put Toe to the ground. She quickly went the other way of the water.

"The water is great you should join me" Zac said. "It's warm"

"Is it warm because it's heated or you...you know that thing that makes water warm"

"You're disgusting! It's a heated pool you asshat"

I laughed at him. "Seriously come join me" he said as he floated on his back. His wet body surfaced and damn I wanted to join so badly. He was swimming in his boxers for heaven's sake and just the thought of that made me slightly not as soft.

As his whole body was floating, you could make the outline of his dick from the wet underwear. That's it I'm going in.

"Fine I'll swim" I said as I took my shirt and jeans off. I laid them on the patio chair.

I ran the small distance and jumped. With the little time I had in the air, I could only think about one thing, and one thing only. I Can't Swim.

The few moments after I landed in the water were pure bliss. I felt warmth cover me from head to toe. I couldn't hear anything, and my eyes were closed. I felt like I was floating in midair, but with bubbles coming out of my nose. And then I felt myself going up. Then down. Then up. Then down again.

"I CAN'T SWIM" I screamed but ended up swallowing water and spitting and my arms were flailing everywhere, with my legs doing the bicycle.

I kept going up and down, and my heart was racing, with my lungs pumping water instead of air.

"I got you. I got you" Zac's arms were around me but I was still floundering. It still felt like drowning. Until I was clutched tightly by him and it felt safe.

"Did I drown?"

"Almost, but I got you." He assured me. "Now for the real question, What the fuck were you thinking? Why didn't you say you can't swim? You almost drowned you idiot!" Zac lectured me but I wasn't listening. I was warm and hugged by wet muscles which were also warm. I didn't wanna be anywhere else.

"I kinda forgot that I can't swim" I coughed a few times. "How are you standing up?"

"It's not that deep where we standing, but I'm a little taller than you are. Try standing on your own" He started letting go of me but I gripped him tight.

"Don't let go yet" I said reluctantly.

"Okay, take your time" I took a deep breath.

"Ok easy now" I told him as I started untangling myself. I slowly felt myself sinking in, and water started to rise above my neck, and it covered my tightly closed mouth, and then it almost reached my nose, and that's when I clutched Zac again.

"I can't reach the floor" I admitted disappointedly.

"It's okay, let go of me and I'll keep you afloat" Zac reassured.

"How so?"

"Just trust me" was all he said. I trusted him forever and always. I slowly started letting go again, but this time I felt Zac's leg underneath me.

"Use my leg as a rest and stand on it"

"Wouldn't that hurt though?"

"Evan you dumbass, water lifts a portion of your weight" oh.

I was standing on Zac's foot and I wasn't drowning this time! I called that progress. He started to teach me the basics of swimming. I was learning slowly, but still it was learning.

"It's all good as long as you don't panic and flail like you were doing. Those only bring you down"

"Okay noted"

"And your legs should be always kicking slightly" he continued. I was listening intently because I didn't want to drown again.

"I'm really exhausted. I'll just sit on the side of the pool" I said.

"Ok put your arm around my neck" I did. We swam together to the edge of the pool, where I lifted myself out of the water and sat. I immediately felt a blow of ice cold air pass through me.

I stood up and grabbed a towel from the closet that I didn't see was there at first. I put it over my shoulders and sat back, my legs kicking water at Zac, who was swimming not so far from where I was sitting.

He suddenly stopped swimming and it looked like he was dizzy and going to faint. NO, NO.

"Zac take my hand!" I quickly laid on my chest and extended my arm. Zac didn't respond so I stretched harder until I was able to reach his shoulder. I dragged him as much as I could till I was able to pull him out of the water. I laid him on his back and got a big towel to cover his body, and another one I rested it under his head. He was still breathing; in fact, he was still awake.

"Thanks. I don't know what happened, I just felt the world spinning around me."

"It's okay, I got you" I repeated his sentence. "I got you" I kissed his plump wet lips and passed my hand through his messy hair.

"Let's take a shower and rest, It's getting darker and colder by the second" I stood up and raised Zac to his feet. "Can you walk on your own?"

"Yes, but I rather have you by my side"

"You cheesy buttknuckle" I joked, but still tugged myself under his arm, with my own slid around his back.

We took quick showers, and got into really comfy pajamas. Zac was sitting in the living room, setting up a movie for us to watch, while I made us hot chocolate.

I took the two mugs, their steam covering my face and the aromas filling my nose.

Zac was on the couch with a blanket on his legs, and the remote was in his hand. He looked up from the TV and I swear his whole face smiled. I handed him his mug, which he took gratefully, and took a small sip.

"Thanks, you're the best" He moved the blanket over and patted his side. I sat there, tucked myself closer to him. He then threw the blanket over the both of us and started the movie.

I think we fell asleep right there on the couch.

"Should we wake them up Li?"

"No, leave them be. This is the most peaceful and happiest Isaac I've ever seen since his mom's death, let him stay that way"

"Awe" I gushed and kissed Liam's cheek, while I hugged him closely.

"Let's go prepare dinner together, and then we'll wake them up"

"Alright" Liam agreed, as we went hand in hand towards the kitchen.
