"Hmmm, I never… streaked." I say watching Jack take another drink from his cup. We haven't been playing that long so nothing too fascinating has been revealed. We did learn that: Zack has skipped school, had surgery, and intentionally set a barn on fire, Jack has had sexual thoughts about Brennan and me, done a keg stand, and has been in an ambulance, and I have had my appendix removed, kicked a guy where the sun don't shine, and both Hodgins and I have had shotgun weddings.
"I have never seen a stripper." Zack says. He has loosened up a little in the last twenty minutes. He took his jacket off and is now slightly slouched in the booth wearing a moss green T-shirt on it is a cow and a stick figure drawn in sharpie with 'i louve zakk" written on it. He lit up when he got the package from his 4 year old cousin.
I think about how cute that is as I take a sip from my mug while listening to an equally comfortable looking Jack Hodgins telling us about his last three girlfriends as he takes a long gulp from his beer.
"I never…" I'm jarred from my thoughts by the continuation of our game. "kissed someone of the same sex." He wiggles an eyebrow at me. I just give him a wink and down a little more from my drink. I spare a glance over at Zack who seems to be contemplating something. I'm almost giddy when he finally takes a drink. It makes me happy that he trusts us. "Damn I know I should ask Angela about her girl-on-girl escapades but… Zack, care to share?" Jack asks the question I was about to. Curiosity is both our strengths and weaknesses.
"Love transcends gender." Zack says committing the inside of his mug to memory. I just smile and take my turn.
"I never… made myself sick." Zack is the only one who takes a drink. I should have chosen a topic to lighten the mood but we have moved out of trivial subjects. So we wait again for a response.
"When I'm nervous or upset it makes me feel better. Like I'm purging my body in more then one way." He looks up to be met with twin looks of concern and quickly adds, "I haven't done it since high school." Thank god.
Zack takes a minute to think while we refill our drink "I've never fallen out with a family member." Jack takes a gulp. And as we all have had to do explains himself.
"My dad and I haven't been on the best terms. He's a little too straight and narrow and I'm a little too…"
"Curvy and thick?" Zack asks innocently.
I can't help but laugh and the tension leaves the table once again.
A/N: I feel kind of bad for aiming almost only on Zack. I'm probably gunna keep it like that but I'll try to get the other two in as much as possible. Hell it is in their POV so it shouldn't be THAT hard!
