"I wouldn't—" get the wrong idea is what he was going to say, but the rest sort of cuts off and gets lost in the kiss. Which is fine, he can tell her again later, that he already knows that people aren't being themselves.

But he has no problems with being kissed, if the way Zack steps closer and leans down to make it easier is any indication. A hand lifts to push some hair away from her face, tucking it behind an ear and then resting against her cheek.

He was about to offer help if he could anyway - so this technically counts, right?
