@/sofyzin: "ugh, weird idea but thats just how my brain works: this happens before they are dating (and the roles can potentially be swapped around), basically zak sees darryl apply lip balm/vaseline and cant stop thinking about his lips, getting flustered and zoning out while staring at darryl. darryl notices and starts to purposely teasing him by bringing attention to his lips in different wats in front of him... which results into them making out when zak cannot take it anymore"

No One's POV

Zak yawns as he finishes editing his video. He stands up from his chair and walks out the door, flipping his hood up and holding onto the strings as he walks to the kitchen. He hears soft rustling from the kitchen and he looks up to see Darryl looking through different drawers.

Zak raises an eyebrow, "Hey Darryl, what'cha doing?"

Darryl doesn't look back and he continues with looking through the drawers. "Hey, Zak. Just trying to find some lip balm. My lips are really chapped."

The flirtatious Zak pops up and he grins, "I can help you."

Darryl stands up and raises an eyebrow, "How?"

"It might involve my lips on yo-" Zak flutters his eyes up and Darryl groans.

Darryl hides his blushing cheeks by turning away. "Oh my goodness..." He closes the drawer and heads to the pantry. He can hear Zak giggling behind him as he looks around and his eyes land on a small shelf by the door. There, a stick of lip balm sits patiently.

He grins and sighs in relief. He grabs the tube and walks out. "Found it!" Darryl hums, making Zak roll his eyes as he prepares himself a cup of water.

Zak looks up and he watches as Darryl uncaps the lid and he places the lip balm on his skin. His eyes travel to his lips and his heart flips as he watches the lip balm glide across his lips.

Darryl doesn't notice as Zak examines everything, taking in every detail. Zak doesn't know why, but he is so mesmerized by Darryl's lips glistening slightly.

Darryl smacks his lips together victoriously and he caps the small tube and tucking it into his pocket. "Alright, I'm going to watch a movie." Darryl looks over to spot Zak biting his bottom lip nervously and cheeks heated up. Being the innocent muffin he is, he doesn't think much of it. "Are you okay?"

Zak quickly snaps out of his daze and he shakes his head. Darryl guessed he was in a really deep thought. "Y-Yeah... yeah..." Zak whispers.

"Okay, wanna join? I'm thinking of watching a Disney movie." Darryl asks.

Zak hesitates. But he nods.

Darryl smiles and walks to the living room. Once Darryl was out of his sight, he mentally slaps himself and scowls at himself for staring.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid..." Zak whispers to himself as he finally grabs his water. He takes a sip and he heads over to the living room where Darryl is leaned back on the couch with his leg crossed over and arms on the back of the couch. He has the remote in hand, going through different movies.

Zak's eyes travel up his body and towards his lips. He feels his heart ache for some reason as he steps over to the couch. Darryl notices him, making him snap out of his trance. "Oo! Yay! You're here! Do you have any recommendations?"

Zak sits down on the couch, leaving some space between the two. His head leans back on the couch as his mind wanders to his lips again. He pictures the feeling of Darryl's lips against his and how he would know what type of lip balm he used. Maybe cherry? Strawberry? Watermelon? Plain?

"Zak?"

Zak snaps his head and he turns to see Darryl raising an eyebrow at him. "Uhh-" He stretches the word out, unsure of what to say as his eyes immediately travel downward.

Darryl looks super confused. He looks at Zak and his eyes follow Zak's daze. His eyes widen and a sly smirk appears on his face as he realizes Zak's looking at his lips.

Darryl doesn't do anything but rolls his eyes. He looks back at the TV and he clicks on Cinderella II.

He takes a peek every so often and he notices Zak sneakily glancing at his lips. His leg was bouncing up and down and he was biting his lip back. Darryl quietly giggles to himself and he decides to play with him.

He pulls his hands behind his head and as Zak was looking at him, he slyly licks his lips. Zak's breath hitches as he watches Darryl's tongue and he quickly turns away with a flustered face.

Darryl grins and leaves him be. The movie plays and Darryl checks on Zak.

The movie plays a romantic part and Darryl uses this opportunity. "You ever wonder what it would feel like to dance with your soulmate?" Darryl sigh, causing Zak to raise an eyebrow. "Like, you dance with them to romantically and the music just plays! The moon hits the two of you perfectly and then when everything is going well, you kiss. You kiss your soulmate and everything changes." Darryl slurs his voice with the word 'kiss'.

Zak looks over and he imagines himself with Darryl, dancing together. Maybe he has a nice cinderella gown and Darryl is his prince charming. A sly smile appears on his face.

Darryl holds in his giggle. He bites his bottom lip, causing Zak to stare even more.

Darryl decides to do one final troll.

He looks over at Zak. Zak's eyes widen and before he turns his head, Darryl stops him. "Wait, you have something on your face."

Zak freezes and watches as Darryl leans over and squints his eyes. They are glued on Zak's face and the smaller boy's anxiety rises up as Darryl gets closer and closer.

Their noses slowly approach and Darryl raises his hand up, pretending to get ready and take whatever Zak had on his face, off.

Zak looks down at his lips, still glittering from the coat of lip balm, and he watches as Darryl is stuck in the trance. Zak squirms in his chair as Darryl laughs on the inside.

For the final detail, Darryl uses his tongue to lick his lips again. It causes Zak's heart to stop to feel his breath so close and just inches away from kissing him. His face is bright yet. But no one is stopping him from making his action.

Just before Darryl is about to "catch the thing on Zak's face", Zak pounces on Darryl and slams their lips together.

Darryl groans and feels himself start to fall back, quickly wrapping his arms around Zak's waist. His eyes were wide in shock as he doesn't feel Zak pull away.

He sighs and his eyes flutter shut, taking in every feeling of Zak's lips against his and pulling him closer to kiss him harder.
