You and your two best friends, Carlie and Paige, went over to Adam's house to hang out.

He was having a small party and Adam already invited the other guys, which were Max, Red (or Michael), Barney (or John), Tim, Emily, and Ross.

Ross. He intimidates you for some reason. Every time you look at him or he looks at you, you get this feeling in your stomach.

"(Y/N) you want something to drink?" Adam's voice broke your thought. You looked at him quickly listening to his words.

"Yeah sure. Can I have Sprite?" You asked politely. Obviously you saw the beer and vodka bottles in the kitchen, but you weren't planning on it.

Adam went to the kitchen, and in 3 minutes, he gave you a red cup with the bubbling soda.

"Thanks." You said before disappearing into the main room.

There, Carlie was sitting next to Tim, Paige was next to Max, and Red, Barney, and Ross were sitting together at one couch.

"Oh, (Y/N), here take a seat." Ross said to you making some room on the couch. You were gonna object but Ross already moved.

As you sat next to Ross drinking your Sprite, you felt a stare on you. You didn't dare to look at who it was.

"I'm bored!!" Paige exclaimed. "Let's play Seven Minutes In Heaven." Her devious smirk curved her lips. Your eyes widened.

"Are you serious?!" You almost choke on your Sprite. Paige nodded rapidly more sure than ever.

"We're playing and you can't back down. Plus, we're all friends here." Paige got up and went into the kitchen. Everyone else stared at each other awkwardly. If we were to play this game, one of us wouldn't be the same after.

Paige came back into the main room and got a paper bag. She opened it and put it out in front of her.

"Everyone put in an item." She smiled while grabbing her squishy panda key chains. You took out a hair tie from your wrist and dropped it into the bag. Red dropped his car keys, Adam dropped his glasses, Tim dropped sunglasses, Carlie dropped her bracelet, Barney dropped a coin, Max put his necklace, and Ross dropped a pocket knife.

Paige closed the bag on the top and started shaking the items. Then she opened the bag.

"Red you pick first." Paige said since Red was literally next to her. Red sighed not hesitating to reach into the bag. He picked out a coin.

Barney, on the other hand starting smiling and covering his face.

"Don't be shy!! Go into the closet!!" Carlie started yelling while pulling Red and Barney. She pulled them to Adam's food pantry, because it's the closest thing there. Plus, the pantry was pretty roomy.

Carlie pushed Red and Barney and closed the door. "Seven minutes!! You guys don't even have to do anything, but it's gonna be awkward!!" She giggled while going back to the couch.

"Watch how one of their shirts will be wrinkled when they come out." Tim scoffed. Paige playfully hit Tim, knocking his snapback off his head. Everyone else joined into the laughter.

*7 minutes later*

"Okay, time finished!" Paige opened the door of the pantry. Slowly, Red and Barney came out of the pantry with weird looks on their faces. As they came into the main room, everyone's eyes went wide.

"D-did you guys?" Ross asked in shock. Red looked at Ross sadly as Barney's head went down. Everyone gasped.

"SIKE!!" Barney screamed as Red began laughing. Everyone was confused, but then they all got the joke.

"You piece of shits. Whatever..." Paige sighed as she picked up the bag.

"Ross! You pick."

Your heart started racing. Secretly you hoped he wouldn't pick the hair tie. But at the same time, you wanted him to.

Ross shuffled his hand in the bag and picked out an item. He brought it out, and it was your hair tie. Of course.

Now, you didn't move. But suddenly, your body was thrown into the air.

"INTO THE CLOSET WE GOOOO." Carlie picked you up and ran to the pantry, which she called the closet. Reality hit you when you touched the ground.

Opening the pantry, Ross was already walking his way to you. You stepped in, your legs turning into jelly. Oh shit.

Then the door closet. "Seven minutes!!" Carlie yelled before her footsteps faded.

You and Ross were in the dark room, face to face. And shit, it was awkward.

"So..." You began. "Sooo..." Ross repeated. Good job, dude.

"Are we just gonna stand here for seven minutes?" You gave a little scoff, your eyes adjusting to the darkness.

"Or," Ross' voice tone changed. "We can do something else." You felt a body step closer to you. You looked up to find Ross' eyes. They were already looking down on you.

"What-" "(Y/N).." Ross' finger touched your lips to quiet you.

"I probably have six minutes left, but I'm gonna do this. Please don't hate me."

In a second, you felt a hand grab your cheek, pulling you closer to Ross. Then, soft lips touched yours. In the darkness, your eyes shot wide open. They soon closed when Ross moved his lips.

Slinging your arms around his neck, you deepened the kiss by kissing a little harder. It's too late now to go back.

Ross grabbed your hips before moving his lips against yours one more time. He finally pulled away from the lack of breath.

Through the dark room, Ross stared into your eyes.

"(Y/N) before you scream or hit me, I just wanted you to know that ever since I met you, I had this crush on you and I didn't know what to do and since we're in a dark pantry-"

You cut off Ross by kissing him again.

That's when the most embarrassing of your life started.

"OH MY GOD!!" The pantry door opened, letting the excessive amount of light in. Carlie stood at the frame with a very expressive facial expression.

"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOOOODDDD!!!!" She screamed while running around the house. She ran away from the pantry and to the main room.

You and Ross separated and awkwardly brushed your clothes.

You stepped out first, and everyone was staring at your direction. You waved awkwardly as Ross also stepped out.

Now you and Ross had some explaining to do.
