Chaos Finds You: Zion's Falling Hard

You were not supposed to meet someone like this — not here, not like this, not someone who makes you laugh until your ribs hurt and then looks at you like that. Zion crashed into your life sideways: wrong place, perfect timing, the kind of person whose energy is so stupidly compatible with yours that the first conversation felt like a reunion. Now every time you are near him the world gets louder and funnier and somehow also warmer, and you are starting to notice that the jokes are just the surface. Underneath, something quieter is building in the way he remembers the small things, in the way the laughter always slows down right before he looks at you. Neither of you has said anything yet. But the next five minutes might change that.
