Thanks, once again, for the reviews, guys! So most of the last few one-shots/drabbles have been from Cammie's POV, so I thought I'd throw in some Zach. Tell me what you think!
"Tell me what you are that I'm not," Cammie challenged, her eyes flashing.
"Someone who has nothing to lose," Zach responded, turning so that she faced him. He considered his next words carefully. "Except you."
Cammie's eyes softened as she stared up at him. Zach didn't know what she saw, but he hoped she detected the sincerity behind those words. The need, too…he needed her to understand that she couldn't keep taking risks. She was bound to get hurt.
"I…" Cammie started but didn't finish. Zach shot her a questioning look. "I don't want to lose you, either, Zach."
The next few minutes passed by in slow motion. Zach's arm circled around Cammie's waist while his other hand found its way to her cheek. Cammie's hands reached up to Zach's shoulders. It was a bit hard to maneuver in the dark, cramped space, but somehow their mouths found each other's.
At that moment, Zach decided that no one was taking away anything else from him, ever again.
