Zach comes out - Mark 1
So, I've been playing around with making Zach bi bi, and not just jokingly bi. Tell me what you think of this, and also whether Zach just walking into Tommy's house is Zach behavior or too much:
Tommy’s house felt empty, possibly because Tommy had abandoned Buck, left him alone lying on the couch with only Mister Thomas, the stray cat that Zach had forced upon them for company.
Now, techincally, Tommy had a shift but Buck was not in the mood for excuses as he lay there, definitely not getting cuddled on his day off. Frankly, it should be against the law, in fact he might even consult Athena on it.
Distracting him from his day dream of Prisoner!Tommy and Officer!Evan, there was a loud knock at the door, then the door bell went, followed by the sound of the door opening.
Which could mean only one thing, Buck thought to himself.
“Dumbass, you’re meant to wait till someone answers the door.” He yelled, debating bothering getting up, but it was would upset Mister Thomas, the cat and also he couldn’t be bothered.
“Yo yo yo, Fuck with B, how’s it hanging my man.” Zach called out, appearing in Tommy’s lounge distinctly uninvited. “You good?” He asked, pointing some finger guns at Buck, “Because you look amazing dawg.”
Then: “Oh my god, Mister Thomas, awwwwwwwwwwwww who’s a lil cutie, you are, yes you are, you’re so cute and perfect and….”
There was a doof noise as Zach literally dropped to his knees next to the couch, and Buck winced at the mere thought, he was only eight or so years older than the idiot kneeling next to him patting the grumpy cat and his knees would kill him.
Then again, he did have a firetruck land on him, so… you know, maybe cut Buck some slack. He was still young.
Not as young as Ravi maybe… and definitely not as young and dumb as Zach.
There was a hiss, and Mister Thomas was swooped off Buck’s knee and into Zach’s arms as the said idiot tried ‘psp psp psp’ing the demon kitty. Unfortunately, Demon kitty was not in the mood for Zach’s charms and promptly scratched him without warning.
“N’aaaw, lil man, ya wound me. Hashtag betrayed bro.”
Despite the betrayal, Zach let Mister Thomas down gently as Buck sat up on the couch, weighing up moving so Zach could sit next to him or deliberately taking up the whole couch.
Then again, Zach would probably just sit on him.
“Uh, sorry Zach, but uh, Tommy’s at work today.” Buck explained, only slightly puzzled that Zach himself didn’t know that.
Except, an interesting and very vibrant shade of pink crawled (or raced might be a more suitable term) Zach’s neck, across his face and up to the tip of his ears and his fuckboy haircut, complete with stylish fade.
“Ummm, yeah dawg, I know.”
It was Buck’s fault, because instead of saying anything, he just gave Zach a look that said ‘Well, why are you here?’ to which Zach just awkwardly fidgeted on the spot.
Right then, words then. “So, uh, is there anything that maybe I could, uh-” Was Buck going to regret this question, “-huh, help you with Zach? Maybe something easy like where the door is?” It was only half a joke.
Face still flushed pink, Zach ducked his head and rubbed his face a few times before squeaking out, in a very manly manner, “Hmm, do you like want a beer?”
“I’m sorry, did you break into my boyfriends house when you knew he was at work to steal one of his beers?”
Zach whipped his head back up, “What, no bro, who the fuck does that, like that would just be, like weird or shit…”
“Then why are you here?”
If Buck had felt second hand pain from Zach dropping to his knees, then this did him in, as Zach flopped back onto the floor like it was nothing so he was staring up at the ceiling, hands clasped over his chest.
“Look dawg, like I legit don’t wanna over step any boundaries here-” and you would not believe how hard it was for Buck not to laugh, biting his lip to try and choke back the chuckle that threatened to escape. “-and I get that you’re like, Tommy’s boyfriend, so maybe you don’t even…” Zach’s voice sort of trailed off into the distance.
“Even what Zach?”
“Hehehe, Evan… hahaha…”
“Zach, focus, please.” Buck pleaded.
“Right, uh, like I dunno if we have the sort of, ya know, relationship where I can ask you something like super personal, and I don’t wanna weird you out or anything because like, Tommy is really down bad for you bro….”
This time Buck wasn’t able to hold back the surprised noise that escaped his lips, “Zach…”
Nope, Buck was at a loss for words.
Then with a huge sigh, Buck rubbed his temple, “Uh, well you should, if your comfortable-” and Buck cringed, if Zach was comfortable? Zach literally broke into their house and started making weird comments to him and Buck was worried about Zach’s comfortable levels? “-Uh, just ask me, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Oh, that was asking for it, he knew it.
Especially given Zach sat back up and looked at him, really looked at him. “Well it’s just, like, I’m normal right?”
Well, no, Buck thought to himself, but he just nodded politely.
“Not that uh, there’s anything wrong with the gays right? Or even women, like womens rights are great, right?”
“Hmm, I’m sorry, was that a question?” Buck asked, focusing on Zach, who was squirming more than he was use to.
“Wait, what, like no man, no… not at all. Like, sluts, prudes, trans, gays, all the weirdos out there, it’s all dope right? Like live your truth…”
Rubbing his temple, Buck swung his legs off the couch, “Thanks for the input, I’m not quite sure-”
“Hold up king, legit, I got off track I know, but please…”
“Yes?”
“Right, so like there’s nothing wrong with that right, and you and Tommy are goals, forever right, no cap, straight bussin in that bussy boys-” Zach must of caught Buck’s look because he hurried, “-Anyway, it’s just like, I’m not right… or at least, I shouldn’t, right? Like my dad is already super disappointed in me, like every part of me. I’m not a banker, I’m not smart, I didn’t graduate fucking whatever it is after high school…”
“Do you mean University?”
“Sick, that’s the one, the parties were fire bro, but the studying, not so.. Ya know… anyway, uh, it’s just… how did you know that you were like, well…”
“Bi-sexual?”
Clearing his throat, Zach gave a stiff nod, just as Buck tilted his head, squinting at him curiously.
“Okay, uh, just wait a minute, correct me if I’m wrong here,” Buck began, “but, huh, haven’t you… y’know… sucked dick before? Like, multiple times?”
Unconvinced by that question, Zach waved a hand dismissively at Buck. “Yo, bro, that doesn’t count. That was just between bros when the chicks were being lame. Everybody knows that’s not gay.”
It was Buck’s turn to be unconvinced as he stared at Zach, letting the disbelief colour his face. “Uh, I dunno bud, pretty sure somebody would argue it is.”
Zach shrugged it off. “Lots of straight guys mess around with guys to get off. I’m talking about something different. Like… seeing a dude and thinking... stuff. You know man? You know.”
