Weak in the Knees Ch. 03

... insecurities.

"I'm a single dad, I just got diagnosed with a progressive disease, I'm bisexual, I'm known as a bit of a playboy, I'm his boss, and on top of all of that, I'm part of the entirely out-of-touch upper class in the hoity-toity High Society," Zach listed off while using his fingers as a visual aid. "It's a lot, and it's possible I'm missing something in that list."

Brinxton seemed to be counting along. "You forgot your great humility."

Zach gave him a wry smile. "Yeah, some men like my cocky attitude, but not down to earth ones."

"Okay, sure, let's say all of that is an issue," Zayne said.

"It likely is," Daniel agreed, and Zayne sent him a glare which made him shut up again.

Once Daniel was quiet, Zayne looked back at his brother and used his hands to represent a scale, with one side down with all of the negatives that Zach had said. "On one side, we have all of that, but let's consider the flip side. What do you have going for you when it comes to a partner? You're good looking, if I do say so myself." This got him the grin from Zach he was hoping for but then he continued. "I've heard from quite a few of your flings that you're amazing in bed, you're a smart businessman, you don't have to worry about money, you're an attentive and caring father who loves your child more than anything."

"Oh, like you moved on?" Zach asked, and then immediately regretted it because a flash of hurt went over Zayne's face.

Zayne looked over at Brinxton. "That was different. That was an entire year of falling in love and ignoring..." He paused there for a moment, his face like a lightbulb going off. "Ah. I see. Already in the falling stage."

Diego flinched as if he had been caught snooping and retreated quietly to his room to think about what he had learned by accident. Zach, meanwhile, leaned back into the couch again, letting out a sigh. He hadn't really wanted to admit that out loud, but now it had been said so he wasn't going to argue.

"So what are you going to do?" Brielle asked him. "As I told Brinxton before, sitting around doesn't get anything done about the issue."

Zach shook his head. "I don't know. Try and gain the courage to ask him out? Wait for him to make a move if he wants to? Ignore it and pretend nothing is going on? There's so many choices."

Daniel snorted. "I never pegged you for a chicken shit before, Zachariah."

Brinxton snorted, "You've never pegged anyone before, you miserable little bottom. Hush now, the adults are talking."

Daniel looked positively shocked but Zayne ...
