"Alright stop shaking his hand your being gross with how much you look to enjoy his touch." Rachel told Hazel clearly not amused about her behavior.
"Let her have it this time Rachel its been 80 years so let it go." Priya calmed Rachel down but this sentence did was also heard by Hazel.
"Wait your telling me its been 80 years?" Hazel asked the two girls but seeing them nod and looking at Zack she realized that it was no joke.
"I am Zack Quinn i found out my grandfather was the legion commander before me so here i am." Zack told Hazel after he realized that he had not told her his name yet.
"Oh its good to meet you and i guess you do look like him a bit but since Priya told Rachel to let it go and we are not in the hole how about i get that kiss now?" Hazel asked Zack well more like asked but did not care about a answer.
Before Hazel could kiss Zack she was suddenly dragged away and there is only one person who would drag others.
"Rachel let me go i don't like to be dragged." Hazel was struggling but could not get free from Rachel's grasp.
"Your not kissing him you have no idea of personal space and know what consent means." Rachel was telling Hazel off but even after she was done talking she was still holding Hazel by the arm.
'Priya do you know why there like this because Rachel looks very annoyed?' Zack decided it was best not to just ask using his voice and just used hivemind to ask her.
'I do but i am not telling you i am hoping for something.' That was all the response Zack got from Priya wich confused him but he was slowly making the connection in his head but he did not want to guess wrong so he decided he will just see how this plays out.
"Why are you so against me kissing him i mean he did not push me away that's close to consent." Hazel who was still bickering with Rachel decided that she needed to catch Rachel off guard to get free.
"For you consent is the same as breathing in the same world as you." Rachel told them locust but could not explain why Zack had not pushed her away.
"Why are you making this such a big deal unless you want to miss him first dont you?" Hazel looked at Rachel with a grin on her face.
And Rachel started blushing and that told Hazel all she needed to know.
Although it may have seemed like Rachel did not have feelings for Zack they were there and she only realized it during the trip after the bandit attack what these feelings were but not wanting to get it confused she asked Priya using the hivemind.
And Priya told her that it was love but also told the wasp that she was also in love with Zack but did not want to ask because she was afraid of rejection and this also stopped Rachel from asking but they knew of Hazel's personality and decided to watch Zack's reaction and then make a decision.
Back in the present Hazel seemed to consider something for a little and came up with a idea.
"Are you afraid to ask him Rachel?" Hazel although with the same grin did sound sincere instead of ridicule.
"Yes and you should know of all people how rejection hurts." Rachel told Hazel and she nodded.
Hazel had in the past asked the previous commander out but was rejected because he liked humans.
"But you do want to know the answer right?" Hazel asked Rachel and she nodded while this was going on Zack was still busy in his own mind and struggling with his own feelings.
He could not deny that the tree girls were hot they simply were but he did have to think about the fact if there is something more than just finding them hot.
"HEY COMMANDER!!" Hazel suddenly shouted startling Priya who was on the sidelines just watching this and it pulled Zack out his thoughts.
"Yes what's wrong?" Zack automatically just assumed because Hazel shouted out of nowhere.
"I have a question Zack?" Hazel suddenly became serious was wich a bit of a suprise and Rachel let her arm go.
"Sure you can ask it i probably won't mind?" Zack was a bit suprised by Hazel's serious mood but also did not know what she wanted to ask.
"Would you consider going out with me or one of the other two girls here?" As soon as those words left Hazel's mouth there where multiple reactions.
Priya was not expecting to get outed as one of the lovers she thought she had his it well but ultimately just decided that Hazel must have noticed it.
Rachel who was even less expecting it was very confused because Hazel already had a rejection and was for some time not herself she seeing this just immediately after meeting Zack she could not understand.
While Zack just shut down completely and thought hard about the girls he had been the longest with Priya and liked all the info she told him and found her cute.
Zack might have spent less time with Rachel but she did bring a bit more of a excited mood around them and Priya was looking so much better after some time with Rachel and Rachel might be strong but also showed incredible care for the wasps.
He might not know allot or anything of Hazel except for that she was honest about her feelings wich was surprising but he did not mind it and also saw that when Rachel dragged away none of them was using allot of force against eachother.
Zack thought about allot and had a answer and when he looked at the girls they were all looking at him with different expressions.
Priya looked very flustered but also a bit happy.
Rachel was looking a bit confused but also expecting at Zack.
While Hazel looked proud of herself but she was shaking from the amount of time Zack was thinking made her think twice wondering if it was the right thing to do.
"Well i have my answer but before i give it i would like you all the be closer and stand next to eachother." Zack told them and the girls did just like he asked a bit confused but still did it.
The reason Zack did it was because he noticed that the girls like to tackle hug at times so he did it so they have less time to build up speed.
"If you three have no problem with sharing me i dont mind being in a relationship with you all and i will do my best to make sure everyone is treated fairly." After these words left his mouth the three girls did not tackle hug hik but walked to him and gave him a huge.
"But who gets the first kiss?" Hazel asked the two girls and Priya looked at Rachel and both nodded.
"You get it Hazel go ahead." Priya told her this suprised her and she looked at Rachel.
"If it was not for you asking him that we would not be in this situation so its thanks to him we get to be in a relationship so its only fair." Rachel told her with a tone of appreciation.
Hazel almost teared up but wasted no time and gave Zack a good kiss and before Zack could do anything Rachel kissed him and Priya kissed him after it.
"Now we all had a kiss it's time to find some locust for Hazel." Priya told them all and all nodded but Zack was very flustered he had not expected a kiss to feel so nice.
