zack is kind of a flirt! he's not some sleazy guy who hits on every girl he comes across, he's just naturally charming and confident, so some flirting here and there just naturally happens

usually you wouldn't mind such behaviour, but while zack flirts with a lot of people he comes across, he never once flirted with you! when all you want is for him to finally notice you as well…

you love being zack's friend, he's a great guy! but for the longest time, you've been in love with him! and zack is too oblivious to notice that…

you don't want to ruin your friendship with a confession and you don't expect zack to reciprocate your feelings, as he flirts with everyone but you. so you simply keep it to yourself – or you try, at least!

after such a long time, it's only normal that you eventually reach your limit. it's when you see him flirt and joke around with cissnei that you can't bear it anymore and just leave!

zack notices quickly that you're gone and rushes after you. but he doesn't make it in time and you're already off, so he returns to cissnei, thinking about you the entire evening…

the next few days, you occupy zack's mind. you don't respond to his calls and texts and he's constantly thinking about you. and then he starts to wonder… could it be that you were jealous?

at first, that thought sounds impossible! but then again…

zack really starts to think about you, what kind of relationship you two have and what you mean to him. and suddenly, he realizes that you're… kind of the perfect partner for him?

the next day, zack shows up at your place. you've been avoiding him long enough now and he wants to put all of this behind you! plus, there's something that he wants to ask you…

you reluctantly let zack inside, dreading this uncomfortable conversation. you know he's going to ask you what happened and you know you can't keep your feelings hidden any longer…

but just as you think zack's about to ask that, he surprises you by just asking you out on a date! the last thing you've been expecting…

zack confesses to you that he thought about you a lot recently. and while he's worried about ruining your friendship, he wants to give this a try! are you willing to give him a chance?

oh, you can absolutely be a handful at times, with your hot and cold behaviour, but zack handles it so well and finds it so incredibly endearing that he wouldn't want to have you any other way!

zack was the one who approached you first and has been nothing but kind to you since the start. he's such a sweet guy, how could you not end up falling for him?

even when you pushed him away, too scared to let anyone close to you, he still made an effort to get to know you better and to put a smile on your face!

and now that he's your boyfriend, zack understands you better than anyone else! he knows your past and understands why you're so cold at times, but he doesn't hold it against you, not even during arguments!

even if you're yelling at zack and getting all mad, he stays calm and lets you vent your frustrations, before offering a hug and telling you that he still loves you (which sometimes makes you even more mad cause you feel like he did NOT listen to what you just said–)

zack likes to tease you from time to time, but while it's fine when he does it, he won't let anyone else tease or mock you! he knows you well, so it's fine, but others might not be as nice as him…

only zack gets to see the real you! only when you two are in private do you let your walls down and show him the real you. people might wonder what made him fall for a tsundere like you, but they just don't know you the way zack knows you…
