Snippet #1918659

"Something like that." James agreed and then smiled at Kasei cheekily. He got the joke. Zack couldn't have agreed more whens he turned to him and spoke. "Well that's a plus-one in my book." he smiled and nodded. Tanner gulped down the last of his drink and declared this the time for dinner, and joked about Ville and Kasei. Zack sensed something about Ville. Something that made it clear that he shouldn't get too close to Kasei. Ville didn't have to fear that though. At least not yet. Zack knew they weren't a couple, but Ville seemed more like a big brother. To his surprise, Ville left with the others and headed for the table. Zack couldn't help smiling at Jukka's joke. "It seems like the two of them spread joy and laughter wherever they go?" he asked Kasei and tilted his head, gesturing towards Jukka and Tanner.

James and the remaining three of Asphyxia exchanged looks and then shot glances back at their guitarist. James smiled and winked. "Do you think he...?" Thomas asked. "Oh come on, we just met Ranger!" Aaron hissed. "And you know Zack." All three of them shrugged and James looked at the Ranger members to see if they had heard. "So, where would you guys like to sit?" Aaron said as they entered the restaurant.

Zack started walking slowly towards the hotel as well, rubbing his temples. He desperately tried to figure out what to talk about, but failed. "I really hope our schedules will allow us to come backstage and watch you guys tomorrow." he tried and raised and eyebrow as he looked away.
That's the best you've got? he thought to himself and shook his head slightly.
