This chapter contains mild to explicit language, implied sexual content (descriptions of kissing and a reference to a steamy make out session), alcohol consumption, overdrinking, and implied alcohol abuse/ alcoholism. In this chapter there will be some content that takes place in the past, or is a flashback, this content is identified by italics.

There is also a scene where Zach become sick under the table from overdrinking, I wonder where I got that from…Yep, Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus, it is one of my favorite Wild Kratts Episodes! This scene is not too descriptive, because I can't write something like that as descriptive, but if this makes you uncomfortable, you can skip this scene, I will place warnings in the text that will allow you to skip the scene, and the content will still make sense.

I hope you all enjoy; I do not own Wild Kratts or any part of this great show!

"Some days, you're the only thing I know

Only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold

Can't look away, can't look away

Beg you to stay, beg you to stay, yeah

Sometimes, you're a stranger in my bed

Don't know if you love me or you want me dead

Push me away, push me away

Then beg me to stay, beg me to stay, yeah…"

"Everyone, can I have your attention? I have something fabulous to show you! Since Zach brutishly ruined Violet's outfit, hair, and makeup; I had the pleasure to correct this fashion catastrophe. As usual my taste is impeccable, and Violet here was the perfect model! Let me go get her!" Donita called out to everyone in the room, and I stood in the doorway, observing their curious expressions.

"Follow my lead," Donita ran up to me and whispered, "go out and strike a pose, act like you're on the runway, make a show of it, then answer anything I ask you in a flirty manner."

I nodded, and I walked out in front of Donita in a sparkly, tight, dark green dress to the sounds of wolf whistles from Gourmand. Zach glared at him as I proceeded to take a bow, and I stood up flipping my hair back. I placed a hand on my hip as I struck a pose, earning a round of applause from Gourmand, Dabio, Rex, and Donita. Even Paisley raised her eyebrows and nodded her head. But it was Zach's response that thrilled me the most, his jaw dropped, and his cheeks turned red.

"My, my, Violet, I had no idea you could move like that," Donita commented.

"Ask Zach about how I can move, he knows all about that, don't you Zach?" I asked him, crossing my arms with a satisfied smile on my face. He quickly closed his mouth, and everyone looked at Zach with smiles or smirks. Zach grabbed another glass of wine from a tray held by a Zachbot, and he began drinking heartily.

Zach's jaw was set, and his face was flushed with embarrassment as he said, "No, it's not like THAT, we danced together, THAT IS IT! We danced at summer camp, at her prom, and around here, the houses, planes, the yacht, WHATEVER, since she started working for me. We even danced at one of your shows Donita, you know that."

"I do know that, but that is NOT IT, from what I heard." Donita delicately crossed her legs in the chair she was sitting in and smiled evilly at Zach. I knew she knew something that Zach, most likely, would have a fit over once it was revealed.

"Heh-Heh. I don't know what you are talking about, Donita." Zach nervously replied, gulping his glass of wine down, pulling at the collar of his turtleneck.

"Ohhh, I think you do, Zachary. Dabio, get me a glass of wine, I'm going to need it for this," Donita called out, and Dabio dutifully served her, "oh, the rest of you will probably want some too, you are not going to believe it!"

The Zachbots served spirits to everyone in the room, Gourmand taking whisky instead and me handing my glass of wine to a sweaty and shaky Zach, after he snarled at me and told me to give it to him.

"Zach, are you okay?" I whispered, "I can make her stop, she will listen to me."

"NO! I have NOTHING to hide," he hissed, a little too loudly.

"But you do, Zachary. A couple things, actually. Well, are we ready! First off, Zach and Violet have not just danced together, they have done other THINGS together. I found out from a little blue brother that they LOVE each other. Zach and Violet declared their love for each other in front of all the Wild Kratts, and they sealed it with a kiss! It was quite the kiss I heard, and Zach here initiated it!"

"So, Blueberry spilled the beans? I wish I had seen that Zachy boy, you don't look like the type who would initiate anything with a lady, especially not a spicy one like Miss Violet," Gourmand said with a hearty laugh.

"I know, shocking, isn't it? But that is not the best part, there is more!" Donita exclaimed.

Zach was fuming at this point, and started vigorously drinking the wine again, I quickly grabbed the glass from him, and downed the contents that remained, hating myself for even giving him the glass to begin with.

"Why the HELL did you do THAT, Violet!" He yelled in my face, and he staggered to the table and fell into the nearest seat. He crossed his arms on the table and laid his head on them, then, never raising his head, screamed at Donita, "GO AHEAD, DONITA! Get your FUCKING LAUGH, tell them the rest!"

"I plan to!" She giggled. I tried to rub Zach's back to calm him, but he jerked away from me, and I decided to sit on the edge of the table, beside him, but not in reach of him. Zach threw his hands over his head and pulled at his hair.

Dabio hesitantly spoke up, "Donita, maybe you should not say it, Zach's really mad."

"But Dabio dear, it is so wonderful, they must know." Donita replied as she patted his arm reassuringly.

"Can we get on with this? I have places to be tomorrow morning; don't waste my time," Paisely said, sounding agitated.

"Of course, well, Dabio here walked in on an interesting little scene. Zach and Violet were at one of my shows, they were backstage in a dressing room, and they were drunk. Dabio heard noises coming from the dressing room, and what do you think he finds?" Donita paused for dramatic effect, and I watched Gourmand rub his hands together, Paisley readjusted her glasses, Rex wore a goofy grin, and poor Dabio looked uncomfortable.

Zach removed his hands from his hair and gripped his forearms tightly as Donita said, "Dabio found Violet on the dressing room table, Zach was between her legs, their clothing was rumpled, and they were hungerly kissing and groping each other! Isn't that right, Dabio? You said it looked like Zach was eating her face!"

"Yes, Donita," he mumbled, rubbing his foot at an invisible spot on the floor.

I thought back to that night, I did not know Dabio caught us, but I remembered Zach acting unsettled, "Zach, what's wrong?" I asked as I sought his lips again, running my hands through his dark hair, but he only kissed my forehead and said, "Nnn-Nothing, I think we better stop…If Donita catches us she will throw a fit about us defiling her dressing room."

I noticed Zach was shaking violently, I reached my hand out to him, and as I touched him; I realized he was crying. "Oh honey…" I whispered before he jumped up, wobbling, then fell back into his seat, clasping a hand over his mouth and looking at me with wide eyes. I got his message loud and clear; I knew Zach well enough to know he was going to be sick, "Zachbots, bring a trashcan NOW!"

***Skip Sick Scene***

The Zachbots put the trashcan in my hands, and as soon as I held it in front of Zach, he ducked his head into it and became ill. I was surprised to feel Zach's hands cover mine as he cried through the first wave of sickness.

"You should never drink that much on an empty stomach," Gourmand commented.

"I did NOT need to see that," Paisley mumbled.

"I have seen it before, but the last time Zach was…Oh, there he goes, he IS going under the table!" Donita laughed as Zach indeed pushed the bin away long enough to crawl under the table, then he grabbed it back. Before I could take my hand away, Zach took my hand, pulling it slightly, indicating that he wanted me to join him. I crawled under the table with him, and I spooned him from behind as he became sick again.

***End of Sick Scene***

I wrapped my arms around Zach and leaned my forehead against the left side of his head, so my lips brushed against his ear as I told him, "it's okay, Zach, it's okay."

Our time together over the past decade had taught me that Zach was prone to vomiting when he cried, overate, or overdrank, and seeing as he had been crying and overdrinking, this event was not odd.

I vividly remembered the first time I witnessed it, "Don't leave me, please don't leave me alone!" Zach wailed through sick spasms after getting drunk one night during our time together at summer camp. "You are so good to me, no one has ever been this good to me except my parents, and now my dad is gone!"

I stroked his hair that night, pulling it away from his eyes, and I repeated the motion in this moment. Zach pushed his head against my hand, seeking as much physical contact from me as he could possibly get.

Once Zach's sick spells ended, he pulled away from me. He curled up on his side, pulling his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around his legs. A few stray tears fell from his large eyes as he stared off into space.

I placed my hand on his shoulder, squeezed it, and said, "I'm going to clean this up, I'll be right back."

I moved out from under the table and attempted to stand up, then I felt Zach grab my ankle and he emitted a whiny "Noooo!"

I looked at everyone and shook my head slightly as I gave them a weak smile.

"It seems like the old ball and chain has a hold on you, Miss Violet!" Gourmand laughed.

I looked at Zach's pale hand on my ankle and fought back tears as I said, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

VvvvvvVvvvvvV

I handed the trash can to a Zachbot and instructed it to clean it thoroughly, then I crawled back under the table to be with Zach. I sat in front of him with both legs tucked underneath me, and I smiled at him. His harsh gaze immediately softened, and he whispered, "thank you."

"You're welcome," I responded, and it surprised me when Zach reached out his hand and took ahold of one of mine.

Zach pressed his head against his knees and admitted, "I need to lay down, if I don't, I'm going to get sick again. But…I want you to come with me." He looked up at me and the expression on his face was one of pure desperation.

"Of course, Zach. You don't have to ask; I love you, and I will do anything I can for you," I cupped my hand against his cheek.

"Did you all hear THAT!" Donita squealed.

"Seems like Miss Violet won't be kissing me tonight, which is a shame, I was looking forward to it!" Gourmand said and laughed, so I knew he was not serious, but Zach's eyes narrowed in anger.

I stroked his cheek reassuringly as I called out, "Hey everyone, do me a favor, and STOP TALKING! I do not want Zach to throw up on me or on any of your shoes, and if he gets upset again, there is a fair chance he will. Thank you!"

After hearing that comment, the room became unusually quiet. I took Zach's head in my hands, and said, "let's get you to bed."

Zach nodded his head, and I stepped out from under the table and dipped down to help him out. Even though he was nearly a foot taller than me, his thin frame was not hard for me to handle. I bent my legs and held my hands out to him, Zach gripped my forearms, and I pulled slightly to help him stand up.

Zach stood uneasily and staggered against me. He fell against my left side, dipped his head into the crook of my neck, and threw his arms around me, enveloping me in a tight side hug. I wrapped my left arm around his waist and after a quick glance to our villain friends to tell them, "Feel free to eat and drink, I will be back to check in on you all," I turned and walked Zach to his bedroom.

This chapter was fun for me to write, I like being able to show you all parts of Zach and Violet's relationship which I have already planned or written. The next chapter should be out soon, and it is Zach and Violet focused, but we will get to see the rest of the Villains again and have a surprise appearance from the Wild Kratts Crew in the 5th chapter!

I hope you all enjoy, feel free to let me know what you think! Feedback makes my day :). – JIG32
