"Sure."

Shino and Artemis exchange their new numbers and part ways. Shino immediately starts texting.

Blake: Only if you feed me

Shino: fat ass

Shino: fine.

Yuki: ooooo count me in

Rikku: alrightyyyy I'll bring Shizu

Shino: tyyyyy

Shino decided to order pizza in advance and make snacks for the group. Rikku texted Kiyo separately since he always had their group chat on silent despite begging to be added.

People started arriving sooner or later, all prepared for a sleep over. Everyone turned up in pajamas and carrying pillows.

They also decided to make a candy salad so everyone brought a gummy candy. Other than Kiyo. He wouldn't reveal if he was trying to be different for didn't get the memo. He brought Twix. 

Blake came first since he and Shino were in the same apartment complex. She brought sour patch kids.
Jack had also come since Blake invited him. He brought sour patch peaches.
Rikku and Shizu came next, their cat in tow so it wouldn't be left alone in the house. They also brought a bag of Trolli's.
Kiyo came and Yuuto tagged along so he wouldn't be alone in their apartment. Yuuto brought gummy bears last minute and Kiyo had his bag of Twix.
Yuki was the latest, bringing her nerds gummy clusters.
Shino bought all the gummy candies he could find and the bowl.

"Heyyy." Shino started.

"Don't fucking hey me bitch." Blake said while dropping her bags near Shino's couch. "Spill."

Shino groaned and sat down, everyone following and helping themselves to the snacks Shino had set out.

"So... basically he just rocked up at my house with a bunch of stuff-"

"Gifts?? For you??" Yuki interrupted.

"Yes. For me." Shino shot Yuki a glare while producing the flowers, half eaten chocolate, and empty boba cup.

"Wowww. He wants forgiveness huh." Kiyo whistled.

"Hey hey hey. We talked about this." Blake glared at Shino. "You're supposed to be standing on business. No taking back ex's."

"But he's so hot.." Shino frowned and groaned.

"Wait what?? You still like him??" Rikku sat up from laying on Shizu's lap which a grin forming.

"Blake you know he can't do that. Mans too much of a slut." Yuki shrugged.

Kiyo made a face and paused playing with Yuuto's hair. "I swear we've had this conversation before?"

"Oh yeah! What happened to that dude form work? Elvis? Elsa?... Elbow??" Yuki questioned.

"Echo. Echo knight." Shino gave Yuki an unimpressed look.

"Hey don't look at me crazy, I knew he had some kind of strange name like that." Yuki shrugged.

"Shino... please... I thought you were in this weird situation ship?" Blake groans and leans back on the couch.
Jack pats her arm and remains silent.

"I know I knowww. I just gave him my number after we talked for a while. I didn't even text him yet." Shino held up his phone before squeezing a pillow in his arms.

"Number?!? Not even your insta or snap or something?!? We're jumping straight to the number?!?" Blake gasped.

"Oh yup he definitely still has feelings." Kiyo rolled his eyes.

"I do not! I really like Echo! It's just a friendly thing!" Shino refused to make eye contact with anyone.

"Well give me his number! I need to know why he ghosted all of us!" Rikku frowned and Shizu nodded.

"Woah woah woah. Give it a week at least." Shino got up to grab the remote.

"Shino your life is too much of a mess right now. What happened to stepping away form relationships??" Yuki snorted and shoved a handful of popcorn into their mouth.

"Well I-"

"He's had several one night stands so yknow his love life was never really dead." Blake glares at Shino begrudgingly.

"Hey! That's really not the point!" Shino whined. "Listen I didn't call you guys here to grill me!! I need fucking advice."

"Give it time." Jack finally spoke and everyone just looked at him for a bit before continuing the conversation.

"You better work this out before you end up getting your heart broken again." Kiyo rolled his eyes.

"But they're both so hot." Shino groaned and put his face in the pillow he had been squeezing.

"It's Artemis vs Kol part two."

"You see the common denominator! It's a sign!"

"No it means one of them is thirsty."

"Just one?"

"Don't think about it!"

"..."

"Or you could just stay away from the dating scene and make some more money. You're still broke at the end of the day no matter who you date."

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP"

They had determined they had 4 and a half teams.

1) Leave them both alone- Blake and Jack
2) Date Artemis- Rikku and Shizu
3) Date Echo- Kiyo, Yuki
4) Refuses to pick a side- Yuuto
1/2) Play them both- Yuki

Shino was intensely regretting inviting everyone over.

They spent the rest of the night spending time with each other as if they were still in high school. Kiyo convinced Shino to break out the alcohol.

After they all had at least 4 drinks, other than Rikku who became legal in a month, 3 arguments, 2 movies, and 1 meltdown, they were drawing straws.

Nothing came of it and the 4th argument broke out. Shino went through his second psychotic break and turned off all the lights, forcing everyone to bed.

"Are you guys still awake...?" 

"SHUT UP"

"I WAS JUST TRYING TO SAY WE NEVER DID THE CANDY SALAD!"

After Jack yelled at everyone the lights were turned back on and the ice cream was taken back out the freezer. The candy salad was a success. Possibly the only success of the whole night.
Even Kiyo's Twix were a nice touch.

Idk how to write anymore this is so bad and I'm scared of what I've created.
