Move in for the summer semester went as it always did. Bucky roomed with a returning cheerleader in his fifth year, a fourth year dancer, and one freshman. Well, the freshman wasn't a cheerleader. They liked to mix similar teams together in the dorms, so the cheer team and the dance team shared dorms.

"Welcome back, Bucky," the cheerleader, Kyle, greeted. "Where ya been?"

"I had to help my baby cousin move in," Bucky explained. "Little freshman."

"You mean your hot baby cousin?"

Bucky glared at his friend. "My baby cousin who had a boyfriend. He's upstairs, with the football team."

"Oh shit," Kyle said with a laugh. "Just pointing out the obvious. When do I get to meet your baby cousin?"

"Hopefully never."

Kyle laugher more and Bucky moved around him, heading to the dorm room on the left. "This is mine, right?"

"Yup. You get the room with the newbie."

"Of course I do," Bucky grumbled. "Who is it? The guy on the papers switched at the last minute to go to California."

"Some dude from Seabrook," Kyle said with a shrug. "Says you guys went to high school together. He asked to room with you."

Bucky raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yup."

Bucky grabbed his suitcases and went into the room. There were a few boxes and suitcases in their room, but Bucky's eyes were drawn to the Zombie struggling to fit a sheet on the twin bed in the corner.

It had been two whole years since Bucky had last seen him. He never went back to Seabrook; Addison and her parents made the time to visit him in Kentucky and Bucky didn't want to risk ever having to see his parents again (even though they had gotten a divorce and high tailed it out of Seabrook to avoid the embarrassment).

Bucky made a noise of surprise; Zach turned and smiled and Bucky felt his heart melt. It had been two years, Bucky had dated here and there, but there was no one like Zach.

"Hey," Zach greeted. "Long time no see."

Bucky felt hundreds of emotions at once. He wanted to scream and cry and hug him and punch him and punch Addison but also jump around and scream more. And throw up. He felt like he might vomit.

Instead he just gaped like a fish and watched Zach move from the bed and toward Bucky. He stood with a foot between the two of them, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Surprised?" Zach asked. "I wasn't supposed to come here. The stupid Zombie Patrol wouldn't let more than twenty of us leave the state, but then Zeke decided to go to school in New Hampshire and a sport opened up so—"

Bucky after on impulse and grabbed Zach's shirt collar, pulling him in for a hard kiss. Zach was surprised for a second, then held Bucky by his hair, moving his mouth against his.

From the living room came a muttered, "What the hell?"

Bucky pulled away, breathing hard. "I—sorry. I shouldn't have done that. What if you hate me now or you're in a relationship? Sorry."

A slow smile spread across Zach's face. "Of course: I am definitely dating someone, especially after begging the form people or whoever is in charge to be in your room and convincing your other roommates to let me share with you. And hoping and praying that you wouldn't freak out when you found me in here."

"Not freaking out. I think."

Zach let out a breathy laugh. "What are you thinking?"

"All the ways I wanna hurt you and Addison and you. I would've looked nice if I had known I'd be seeing you today."

"You always look good," Zach pointed out.

"I hate you so fucking much," Bucky muttered, then kissed him again.


A/N: And that is it! The Zacky Fic is officially over now! Thank you for joining me on this wild ride, it's been lit. This was a lot of fun to write. I need to write way more Zacky now, it's becoming a problem.

A special thanks to CallMeLy (unusual-ly on tumblr) who has allowed me to use her BG Zombies I'm so many fics. Check her out everywhere. You can find more of Zach and anyone mentioned in her story called Limelight. If you wanna read something angsty with the bg Zombies you could also read her story called Tattooed Mistakes (Are Gonna Fade Over Time). It's super angsty.

If you wanna know more about Zach, check him out on unusual-ly's tumblr at the BG Zombie Masterpost. .com(slash)post(slash)177460735780(slash)bg-zombies-masterpost-absolutely-everything

Also, Zacky is started to make an appearance in my favorite story, the main zombies timeline (for me). The most recent chapter of Always Had a Feeling has the beginning of Zacky (chapter 26) so check that out.

Thanks for reading! I love you all! Until next time!
