Icy
Summary: Band, Restless Road, Zach hurts his foot, and has to spend the holidays with Kane and his family
”I can’t believe you-” “It was icy!!! What was I supposed to do melt the ice??”
“Not walk on it would have been good enough!”
“Zach you’re an idiot..”
“But I’m y’alls idiot.” He grins fondly and Kane shakes his head.
“What?”
“Now we have to drag your ass all the way to our place because you can’t be left alone with that boot on.”
“I can be..” He asserts and Colton just laughs more.
“Zach; no one should be alone on the holidays, Kane’s just using it as one big fat excuse.”
“Don’t give away my master plan.”
“I’m giving away whatever I want; since it’s Christmas!”
“It’s a week away…”
“And you’re stuck here for another two and a half weeks so the doctor can check you again…”
“It’s a sprained ankle.” Kane glares and nudges the boot.
“At the worst!” Zach quickly amends.
“Listen it doesn’t matter if you stubbed a toe or had to get your leg amputated.”
“It's closer to a stubbed toe..” Zach tries to interrupt but Kane just keeps talking.
“We’re more than happy to have you spend time with us.”
“I don’t have anything for Christmas.”
“You have a little over a week to do shopping, we can help.” Katy smiles gesturing to the boot on his foot and Zach huffs already annoyed.
Zach had been given a list and left to wander the mall and shopping center that were conjoined. He assumed it was just one mall but Katy had said that there was enough of a divide that they were actually two separate places, Kane had said that they were going to be back in an hour to pick him up and he almost feels like a dorky teenager again, having been dropped off by his parents.
”Did you tell him you weren’t going back?”
“No he thinks we’ve left already probably.”
“Ooo should we wrap you guys up in paper and stick you under the tree?”
“I’m not spending a week stuck under the tree.” Colton glares and Garrett laughs and then nods.
“Well we’ll at least have a bow on our heads or something; when he comes home today.”
“I still think it’s silly…”
“Well you’re the one who wanted us decorate gingerbread houses and made it into a competition…”
“Hey Katy said she’d be happy to judge us.”
“She meant in general, not a gingerbread competition.” Kane laughs and Colton chokes on his hot chocolate.
“I hate this family!” Garrett laughs and everyone joins in.
“So should we go pick up Zach now?”
“How much you wanna bet he didn’t get any farther than the first four stores?”
“I bet he managed one lap around.”
”Zach, jeez man you got far.”
“It took me like an hour, besides there are like four shops I actually want to go into.”
“Oh so you got all your shopping done?”
“Mhm, it didn’t take long, everyone is easy to shop for.”
“You just got everyone a gift card didn’t you?”
“Yep, it makes my life… fuck is that Colton and Garrett, let me go back and-”
“I’ll pick some up for them tomorrow just give me the money.”
”So what time are we being woken up for Christmas?”
“Well I told the kids it had to be six am or later.”
“Huh that’s not too bad…”
“And they argued for five am so..”
“Are you serious?”
“You're gonna have to find out.”
“I’m injured, you’re really going to force me, an injured person to wake up at five am; what a cruel house this is.” Zach can’t keep a straight face as he laughs.
