PART III

"Hey! What are you-"

Zoot stopped mid-sentence after fully taking in what he was seeing in front of him. Zuz was reclining on his chair, his legging on the floor. He was knuckle-deep inside himself while looking at pictures of...Zoot. There were pictures scattered across his desk, and one enlarged on the computer screen. Zuz was jacking off to him mere moments ago. As you'd expect, he didn't know how to process this. Zuz looking at him like a deer in headlights wasn't helping much either. They both just stared at each other, unsure of how to proceed. Zoot broke the deafening silence with five simple words.

"What in the bloody hell...?" Zoot said as he looked on, a mixture of bewildered and horrified tones in his voice. Zuz began to frantically pick up the photos, turning off the computer at the same time. He was trying to salvage the situation, no matter how futile that may be.

"Listen, it's just- I, well, I can't- it's not-" Zuz was cycling through excuses in his mind, trying to find one that might save him. The panic in his voice rose alongside the redness of his face. As he got up from his chair, Zoot began to speak again.

"Zuz, what is the meaning of this? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" He shouted, now wanting answers more than anything else. Zuz flinched at the sudden increase in the volume of her voice, small tears forming in the corners of his eyes. He sighs before sitting on his bed, placing the photos to one side. Zoot walked closer to the bed, his arms crossed and a stern look on his face. Zoot's gaze made Zuz feel more tense than anything in his life.

"Zoot, I am just...so, so sorry for what you saw. I should've been more open with what've been doing, and I should've stopped sooner. I should've=" Before Zuz was finished talking, Zoot interrupted him.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Could you just tell me WHY you did that?!" Zoot was really putting on pressure on now. Panicked, Zuz blurted the reason out.

"B-because I love you!"

The words lingered in the air as they both looked at each other in silence. Zoot felt like an atom bomb was just dropped on jos head. Now both of their faces were deep shades of red.
