howling.

“Well damn, I guess I’ll have to.” Melanie joked, taking a sip of her coffee. “I didn’t see a dick tattoo, but maybe I was too drunk to remember.” She wondered what he would say to something like that.

“Hey now, the day I agree to get one of those, is the day that my relationship with Mr Jack Daniels comes to an abrupt end.” He said quickly, the thought of a tattoo on such an intimate area making him tense in pain already. “Don’t ever talk me into that.”

elenore-mendoza​:

“You’re doing so great.” Elenore giggled, spinning it again. “Left foot green.” She said, turning her head to him.

“Now you’re just humoring me.” He said with a roll of his eyes, stretching his leg out to make sure he hit the right color.  “Anything after this and I’m hitting the deck. I know it.”

autymn-ackerman​:

Autymn rolled her eyes whenever he suggested she’d look pretty with no eyebrows. “I’ll let you do me first. If you wax off my eyebrows, yours get waxed off.”

“Okay, I can take that as a fair deal. But I have never done anything like that before, so if you do end up with no eyebrows, it is entirely an accident.”

gabrielhcle​:

“I hope I am,” he sighed, “she’s alive, and is happy, so as long as she’s those two things I’m happy,” he chuckled, hoping that that would be a mindset that would stick with him the rest of his life, but he had a feeling things might get rocky soon. “Do not blame yourself, Zachary Gable, do you understand me? Yes, you did something wrong, but you are not responsible for the crazy shit your uncle did and became”

"I am almost certain that you are. Hell, you did enough good helping me grow up way back when, I’m sure you’ll do an even better job now that it’s your own flesh and blood.” Zachary had no doubt in his mind that Gabriel was doing the best job that he could as a father, and from his own experiences was certain the little one would grow up happy. “I carry it with my every single day.  And I just... I miss Aria, so much.” he didn’t speak of her often, but given that the other had known her, he didn’t feel as though he needed to hide it.

[zacharygable]

gabrielhcle​:

“Oh she doesn’t look like me, shit if she did I’d feel bad for the kid,” he laughed softly, “she’s got my stubbornness though, which I’ve come to really fuckin’ hate. But I love her, she’s my everything” he smirked, having become a different person from what Zac probably would have remembered from when they last met. He had always cared about others but had never showed his emotion, but ever since his daughter’s birth he became more sensitive. “You can’t blame yourself for what your uncle did”

Zachary was pleased for the other, so many things seemed to have changed since they had last seen one another, and yet both of them were still inherently the same. It was strange but also comforting. “I bet you’re a great dad.” He offered, a smile crossing his face. He had viewed Gabriel almost like an older brother in their pack, and knew him well enough to know that he’d step up to the mark. “He killed my father, and I tried to kill him. And got Aria killed in the process. I blame myself for losing her. If I had just left the pack quietly, or just let him lead the way he wanted to...”

melanie--james​:

“Maybe that was it, I don’t know country very well.” Melanie shrugged at him, her gaze leaving her phone. “Yeah, I’m fine.” She put her phone in her pocket, sipping her coffee, not caring about the burn. “What are you talking about? You were my booty call. I didn’t realize you had an ass tattoo.”

Zachary wasn’t convinced that she was as fine as she said that she was, but he opted to leave it - for now at least. It was still early and he was still waking up, though that was happening a lot faster courtesy of the coffee. “Hey, I’ve got more than ass tattoo, you’ll have to have another booty call to try and find it.” He joked, shoulders coming in a shrug.

xxcarsyn-gray​:

“Or, we can compromise. We split the rest of this bag, and then both eat nachos.” She flashed him a grin. “Then we both get chips and nachos and we both leave happy.”

Zachary snapped his fingers, and then promptly pointed them at the other. “That is a genius idea, and exactly why you’re the brains and I am so obviously the beauty.” He joked, the idea of nachos causing the hunger he’d been ignoring to become ever present. “Are you a salsa or a guac gal for your nachos?”

[zacharygable]

elenore-mendoza​:

“I have a free hand, I guess I can spin it.” Elenore reached over to spin it. “Right hand red.” She smirked up at him. “Think you can handle that?”

“I think I can just about cope with it.” Zachary laughed, crouching down at the edge of the mat to make sure his hand stayed in place. “But you know it’s all down hill from here.”

[zacharygable]

autymn-ackerman:

“I would never have fun putting you in pain.” Autymn said with a look of fake concern on her face. “But I’ll let you wax me back as long as you promise not to wax my whole eyebrow off.”

"Yeah yeah, and the rest.” He shook his head, reminded of the same way his sister always used to make the same remarks. He knew better now. “But I think you’d look really pretty with no eyebrows. Or even prettier with just the one.”

[zacharygable]

elenore-mendoza​:

“Maybe it is.” Elenore smiled, though she didn’t know if he could see her face from below her. “You could always try and get tangled up. I’m sure it’d be a lot harder with another person on here.” She knew that it would be. She didn’t have to avoid anyone in that moment. She could flip over the board perfectly.

"See, I knew I missed out on something.” He retorted, a small chuckle escaping from him. “Fine, but I’m warning that if I fall within seconds of that spinner going, I can’t be liable for any injuries you might obtain.” He clarified, placing the spinner a little closer to where she could reach. “At least spin it for me?”

[zacharygable]

melanie--james​:

“Oh you definitely were. Don’t you remember singing ‘I Feel Like a Woman’ to the whole bar?” Melanie said, hoping that he’d believe her lie. She sipped her coffee, reaching over to grab her phone. There were no messages, and it was disappointing to her. She hadn’t heard from Gabe since that night at the bar.

Zachary chuckled. “See, and I always thought I was more of a ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ kinda guy.” Whether it was true or not he didn’t know, though he wouldn’t have been entirely surprised if that had been the case. “You doing okay?” He asked, his gaze dropping to the phone before back up to her face. “Booty call didn’t come through, huh?”

[zacharygable]

wolfiebandit​:

It made a lot of sense, and it was much more practical in many ways. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like to live in a van, but the idea seemed interesting “Maybe I can visit your van one of these days, I’ll take the drinks” the wolf said, a smirk on her lips

His van was an important part of who he was, of how he saw his new life, and it wasn’t something that Zachary was prepared to go without, no matter how tempting the offer of the Marsh house might be. “For you Bandit, you’ll always be welcome at the van.”

[zacharygable]

xxcarsyn-gray​:

“I should be eating a big plate of nachos.” Her eyes slid shut and she blinked, a soft mmmm sounding as she thought of her potential dinner. Plus there were chips in it. “Aw, you’d take the fall for me? That’s real nice.” 

“Oh then you definitely need to let me eat the rest of this bag so that you can go and enjoy the nachos. Or you can finish the bag and I will eat the nachos, I don’t mind either way.” Zachary chuckled, his eyes rolling at her comment. “I’m a gentleman, what can I say?”

[zacharygable]

melanie--james​:

“I don’t think anyone drank as much as you.” Melanie laughed as she pulled out two coffee mugs from the cabinets. As soon as the machine was done, she poured them both a cup, handing him the coffee, she sat back down. “Plus, I’m not one to get many hangovers.”

“Oh come on, I wasn’t that bad.” Zachary laughed, though he. knew he had to have consumed enough whiskey to wind up with somewhat of a hangover that morning. “One of the lucky ones I suppose then.” He teased, his hands reaching for another of his purpose built storage spaces. “Your phone, m’lady.”

[zacharygable]

elenore-mendoza​:

“I guess you weren’t supposed to know.” Whenever Zach called out right foot green, she turned herself over, kicking her right foot over her planted left to land on green. “Like this?”

“Maybe this is the universe’s way of telling me I should have spent more time hanging around the cheerleader’s in high school.” Zachary laughed, his eyes watching the other as she managed to hit all the markers with ease. “I’m so losing this game already.”

[zacharygable]

autymn-ackerman​:

“Yes, yes it is.” Autymn had always loved makeup, though she wished that she could know more about it. “Okay, your eyebrows are perfect. I won’t touch them.”

"I’m more concerned about how much fun you’re going to have putting me through the pain of waxing.” He laughed, it never having been something he’d even considered that he needed to do. “No no, if you must.”

[zacharygable]

gabrielhcle​:

“Yeah, uh, it’s been rough, but I have a little girl though and she looks like her so it’s like I still have her at moments,” he smiled weakly, not knowing if that was a good or bad thing that she looked so much like her mother. “It’s good to be back, the pack went to shit after you left, it was horrible, and after her death I had no reason to stay”

“No way.” Zachary’s face pulled into a wide smile. “You’ve got a little girl? I can’t believe there’s a little kid like you out in the world.” He was only teasing of course, almost certain that Gabriel was a great father. He’d been a good role model to Zac growing up, and he was sure it would continue into fatherhood. “The pack went to shit because I made it go to shit. Yeah, my uncle was a tyrant... but I started that fight. The one the killed Aria. It was all my fault, I had to flee.”
