"I thought this was only going to be a one-and-done sort of thing," Zack grouses, staring at R-Truth as he runs around in Dolph's shirt. He crosses his arms over his chest and raises his eyebrows in annoyance as Dolph rambles on about why and how and where and when this idea came to fruition. A story Zack knows all too well by now, something he's far from interested in hearing again, but he grits his teeth and waits Dolph out, still cranky that Dolph had completely forgotten him in all of this grand planning.

"Fine," he says. Repeats it a little louder until Dolph finally shuts up and listens. "Fine. Then I guess maybe I should take the hint and leave you two to it. Have fun." He grabs his things and leaves, Dolph watching on with parted lips and a shocked look in his eyes, unsurprised but hurt when Dolph doesn't even go after him. He sneers and shakes his head, continuing to walk despite how each step pushes another spike through his chest. "Dammit."

He finds himself in Heath's locker room, Wade looking unimpressed at finding him in there, but barely responds beyond that, ducking into the shower to wash off his latest match. Heath chuckles to himself before turning to Zack, the amusement quickly fading as he gets a good look at Zack's face. "Hey, what's going on, man?"

Zack shrugs. "Dolph won't give up on this stunt double thing," he sighs. "It's bugging me more than it prolly should, bro, but... I really thought it was only going to be a time or two, and then done." He sits down heavily and releases a breath. "It's just Truth's around all the time, and he's usually a nice enough guy, but only in small doses... now it feels like there's three people in this relationship, and... I just want it to be over with, but Dolph is enjoying it so it's probably going to last for months or something." He grimaces as Heath sits down next to him, lightly rubbing circles against his shoulder.

They're still sitting there during Dolph's rematch against Mike, Zack swallowing when Dolph regains the Intercontinental title, his smile slipping when Truth celebrates with him. Heath makes a sympathetic face and watches as Zack gets up. "You gettin' out of here, man?"

"Yeah," Zack sighs. "I think I have an interview with Eden or something later." It's a fluff piece, he doesn't have enough going on to really have anything to promote, but still. It gives him something to do for a couple minutes. For some reason, she asks about his relationship status and he flounders for a moment before laughing self-depreciatively. "I'm single." It brings him up short but the words have already left his lips and he considers backtracking, requesting a re-film... but ultimately decides just to roll with it, the misspeak leaving him awkward but not caring enough to actually speak up on his error.

When it's over, he turns to walk away and stops short upon finding Dolph standing a few feet away, a blank look on his face. As the blood drains from his face, he swallows and watches Dolph walk up to him, waiting to be punched or something- just to be grabbed by the arm and pulled in to a rough kiss that slowly grows gentle, Dolph's free hand cupping his jaw. "You're not single," Dolph informs him simply, ignoring everyone as they gape and whisper. "And I'm done with the stunt double thing. How's that sound?"

Zack inhales. Then exhales. "It sounds really good, bro."

"Well, good," Dolph says. "I think so too." He leans in and kisses Zack again, grinning as Zack relaxes against him.
