decode.

Anna nodded her head, leaning up to give Zack a kiss. "I love you."

--

Brian pushed October's yoga pants down, tossing them to the side.

"I love you too," Zacky smiled brightly at her.

---

October bit her lip and tugged her shirt off before she pulled at his.

Anna beamed. "Good." She whispered.

--

Brian tugged his t-shirt off and tossed it away.

Zacky smiled at her and took a sip of his drink before he sat back, resting a hand on his stomach. "At least we never have to worry about kids," he chuckled.

October looked up and ran her hands over his chest, biting her lip as she looked into his eyes. She rested her hand over his heart, trying to feel any sort of beating.

"Thank god," Anna said softly. "I don't want to imagine my body after children."

--

Brian frowned gently, moving her hair. "It hasn't beaten in a hundred years."

Zacky frowned. "It wouldn't matter to me either way," he said. "I think you're perfect no matter what."

---

October frowned and grabbed his hand, pressing it to her chest so he could feel hers beat. "It's okay," she murmured.

Anna blushed tomato red and looked down at her plate.

--

Brian smiled softly. In all of the years since he had been changed, October was the only one who told him it was okay. He leaned forward to give her a kiss.

Zacky raised an eyebrow as he watched her. "You're cute," he chuckled. "It's true, though."

---

October wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately. She pulled back slightly and looked up at him. "I love you," she murmured.

Anna smiled softly. "Well, don't you know how to make a girl feel special."

--

Brian smiled brightly and pulled October tight to him, burying his face in her neck. "I love you, too."

"It's a craft I've mastered over the years," Zacky joked, smirking at her.

---

October smiled and held him tightly, rubbing his back soothingly.

Anna blushed. "Well, there certainly have been some lucky girls before me then."

--

Brian hugged October tightly, just taking in the moment. "I could sit here forever."

Zacky shook his head. "Honestly, they never lasted very long," he said.

---

October nodded her head. "Me too," she murmured. "But I think I would eventually have to go to the bathroom."

Anna felt a small sense of satisfaction. "Oh...well, good for me, then." She spoke softly.

--

Brian laughed slightly, moving to kiss October's neck. "You're adorable."

Zacky sighed. "I guess," he said. "You know, as soon as they figured out what I was, they tried to run." He looked up at her. "I hate having to hurt people. But if they told people who I was, they would come after me."

---

October smiled. "Make love to me," she murmured.

Anna's face went white. "You mean...." She whispered.

--

Brian nodded and gently lay October down. "Anything for you."

"I'm not proud of myself," Zacky said. "But I want to be a hundred percent honest with you."

---

October bit her lip gently and smiled up at him, cupping his cheek in her hand. "I trust you, Brian," she murmured.

"O-okay..." Anna said softly, color slowly returning to her face. She took a deep breath to relax.

--

Brian leaned down to give October a kiss as he pushed her yoga pants down with his free hand.

"I had to protect myself," Zacky frowned, reaching over and grabbing her hand. "I would never do that to you."

---

October kissed him back, undoing his pants and pushing them down.

"I know," Anna said softly. "It's still taking a little getting used to."

--

Brian kicked his pants to the side, shimmying out of his boxers.

Zacky squeezed her hand. "I understand if you don't want to have all this baggage," he said.

---

October smiled and reached between them, wrapping her hand around his length and stroking him slowly.
