Even when things weren't pleasant with people, Zach still loved them and wanted to be with the. That's what loving people meant, what it was about. It was wanting to be around them even when it wasn't the most pleasant. It wasn't all about fun times. Some of that was even in wedding vows. For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, and all that. Did Colin want to marry him, even if it wasn't considered a real wedding?
And Colin hugged him so quickly. Zach's arms wrapped around Colin and held him close, as close as he could. And perhaps Zach was squeezing a little too tight, but he really didn't want to let go and find out Colin thought he was better off with just Justin. And Zach...Zach would let him, if he wanted it.
"Oh Merlin, no Colin," Zach ran one hand through Colin's hair, "I'm not upset with you. I wasn't very good at explaining things. And even if we still disagree on things, I love you. I love you, and that's not going to change. Okay?"
