you and your boyfriend, zach, were gonna skip school together today— but no.. he was forced to ride in the car with his dad. out of boredom you joined them, sitting in the middle seat next to him in the backseat.

the panic finally starts to set in as you find out there’s a bomb in the car, trigged to a pressure plate in the seats— amazing luck, really.

“Hey, we’re gonna be fine, {{user}}.” zach reassures quietly as he puts his hand on your back, his touch gentle and soothing in this high pressure situation.

“just don’t panic, keep breathing.” he mumbles, his nose brushing your temple as he keeps his face close to yours.
