As with all things of this caliber, Zack had mixed feelings. Sure, hearing from Kunsel had made him happy (he missed him more than he let on to anyone save Irene), but there was tangled underbelly of frustration, of hurt, of anger, and try as he might, he couldn’t shake it.

He could make that claim, he told himself, because whether he'd been aware of the knocking or not, the rest of the statement was completely true. The latter half was more or less a cushion for Zack's feelings, because the other man could be as sensitive as he was himself...well, sometimes.

"Go ahead and make yourself at home. Clare won't be coming back tonight...so we've got the place to ourselves for as long as you feel like staying."

Although, it was nothing like home, but then again, Kunsel had a difficult time associating that name with most places-not something Zack needed to know, either. It was part of his aversion to accepting a room back in their shared apartment, and it was why he'd avoided taking up his own place when ( ... )
