Jesse had come to understand Zak pretty well these days. At least he thought so. He knew his friend would be several tings at the moment. One, pissed off. Two, thoroughly upset with himself. Three, distant as all hell.
Jesse didn't care.
He reached the locker room quickly, managing to avoid all the hullaballoo outside pretty unscathed. He found Zak, as he figured he would. And Jesse needed to talk to someone on the damn team at the moment, and Zak was his best bet.
"Look, you big lug, I know you want to go off and do your own thing at the moment but you're gonna bloody oblige me for just one second, okay, cuz I sodding well need a hug." With that brief warning he stepped up to Zak and threw his arms around him.
Zak stiffened (not like that) when Jesse wrapped his arms around him. He could feel his mental block on it all immediately break down, releasing more burning tears than he'd like to admit. Zak turned and returned the hug without too much of a complaint, though he said nothing. He couldn't. His throat was hoarse from screaming from the sidelines.
He released the hug, squeezing Jesse's shoulder as if to give the younger boy some comfort. Zak sighed and grabbed his towel. Time to go drown. The Gryffindor strolled into the farthest shower stall and stripped down, hanging his clothes on a hook outside the shower. The water hit his skin, washing the pain away. He groaned loudly and out of nowhere threw a punch at the wall, followed by a howl of pain and a string of creative obscenities. "Christ, that hurt," Zak whispered, barely audible over the sound of the water.
Jul walked into the locker room and was about to scream or cry or punch something when she caught a glimpse of something...
Zak and Jesse hugging? Yeah she couldn't deal with that. She immediately turned and left for destinations unknown. Anywhere that would not make her feel like a complete nothing.
((ps. i had no clue this was open to the whole gryff team. thanks for that mel XP))
