Andre yelped. "Okay, I'm probably going to get a brain freeze!"

"How can you get a brain freeze from cold water?" Sebastian questioned, laughing.

"Because...Because..." 

Sebastian was surprised Andre didn't answer the question like he answered the rest of his questions.

"Look, this is the one thing I c-can't an-an-answer," he chattered. 

Sebastian realized how cold the water must have been for Andre, so he decided to pull him out (somehow) and wrapped a towel around him, "There," they said, satisfied with themself.

Andre nodded meekly. "Does this count as a th-thank you, or is thi-this like a re-revenge thing?" He asked.

"I guess it's my apology for splashing water on you," Sebastian answered. wrapping another towel around Andre cause #ProtectAndreTheSmulBean.

"Then, awww, thanks," he said, because #ProtectAndreTheSmulBean.

Sebastian smiled and wrapped his hands around Andre.

Andre smiled faintly, and hugged Sebastian back. Sebastian started shivering too cause Sebastian's also a smul bean. 

"Oh, no, you're cold!" Andre took another towel and put it on Sebastian because #ProtectTheseTwo, They'reAbsoluteCinnamonRolls.

Sebastian's teeth chattered, "Th-thanks."

"It's nothing," Andre waved it off. Quite literally.

"Sh-should we go inside?" Sebastian asked.

"Mmhm," he nodded and tugged on Sebastian's arm. "Let's go." 

Sebastian followed, not looking behind at the pool.

Andre walked inside, his left foot occasionally moving sideways. Kind of like a limp of sorts. No, he didn't have a limp, that was just how he walked. 

Sebastian was shivering still and his actual limp was now more apparent.  

Andre looked back. "Do you need another hug? You're shivering again."

"No, yes...I don't know," Sebastian admitted. "I just want to go to sleep, to be honest." 

"Oh, okay then. Go sleep. Also, your new name's Mochi," he told him, seeming a little tired himself. "Why Mochi? I have no idea, but just roll with it."

Sebastian nodded, a bit confused, but he went along with it, "Okayy. Um, I think I was in room 13?" 

"That's....near the hotel entrance, right?"

"I think so, where's yours?" 

"Mine's Room 12," he said. 

"I think that's next to mine."

Andre tried not to grin, but it slipped through. "A coincidence, no?"

Sebastian laughed a little, "Yup." 

Andre grinned a little more. "Shall we go, fellow comrade?"

Sebastian nodded and Andre offered him his hand.  Sebastian took it, his cheeks warming slightly.

Andre noticed the blush, and said quickly, "Platonic. Just as friends."

Sebastian's eyes widened slightly and he nodded.

"See? Just as friends," he emphasized, and smiled like the little cinnamon roll he was.

Sebastian smiled back, also as a little cinnamon roll.

"Hi" Aimee greets him.

"Hey," Jax smiles at her, then turns his attention to the rest of the group.

Noah sat on the sidelines, their face noticeably amused as Bindy stalked over to them, looking much relieved. "Did you kill the rose bushes?" they muttered, smirking. Bindy simply purred.

Tristan smirked and crossed his legs, putting his hands behind his head. "Let's play a game or something, I'm bored."

Vivian, who had suddenly appeared at the scene, nodded enthusiastically. "Truth or Dare?"

"How about spin the bottle first?" Aimee suggests.

Sebastian puts his head up "Sure." 

Vivian shrugged. "Fine by me."

"Sounds good," Owen said.

"Oh, goodie gumdrops," Andre mumbled. "This is going to be disastrous, right?" 

Aimee smirks a bit and looks proud of herself. Jax sends her a grin. 

Sebastian snickered, and nodded, "Yup." 

Andre sat down next to Sebastian. "If it does, then someone owes me Tylenol."

Aimee just rolled her eyes, "Anyone have a bottle?" 

"I do," Owen went and grabbed his empty water bottle. "Who wants to go first?" he asked.

Andre raises his hand, leaving it wavering in the air a bit before Owen passes him the water bottle.

Andre nodded, but then he looked around and, "...Um, can someone else go first? Sorry, I just can't."

Aimee rolls her eyes, "I'll go." she says taking the bottle.

"Ooh, yay, tea!" Tristan squealed.

Jax snickered and kept watching. This was defiantly going to be amusing. 

Noah attempted to offer an awkward smile and tried to just casually wheel their way outta there.

"Oh no you don't, Noah." Vivian stood up to stop Noah from eScApInG. 

"Nuuuu, Bindy, run!" they said, allowing Bindy to ~run away~

Not that the cat had much at stake.

Noah furiously wheeled away. "Heehee, catch meeee- wait no actually don't-"

Aimee just rolls her eyes and places the bottle down, spinning it. Tristan squeaked and bounced like an excited toddler. "I'm putting my bets on Jax."

"I put my bet on Owen," Andre mumbled to himself, loud enough for Jax to hear. Tristan's huge ice blue eyes widened into saucers. "It's slowing down!"

The bottle landed on Owen. Jax whipped his head towards the guys, who was starting with shock at the bottle.

Jax released his breath, realizing that he had hoped it would landed on him-that he , Jax, would get to kiss Aimee.

Tristan did a tiny dance. "Owennnnnnn ma boi!"

"Look, Seb! I was right!" Andre said proudly.

Aimee shrugs and gives Owen a quick peck before pulling away as if nothing had happened, "Okay whose next?" she says. 

Owen stares at her in shock, and Jax feels a bitter surge of..jealousy? But he hardly knew the guy!  

"Me!" Tristan offered.

Tristan took the bottle and immediately got distracted. "Ohhh, it's sparkly! Wait that's just the water-"

🅽🅾🅰🅷

🅽🅾🅰🅷 🆂🆃🆁🅾🅺🅴🅳 🅱🅸🅽🅳🆈 🅸🅽🆃🅴🅽🆃🅻🆈and watched. Spin the Bottle wasn't their type of game, but it sure was fun watching. Tristan started to spin the bottle. "Oh, look, it's sparkling even more now!"

The bottle slowed and skidded to a stop at Adir. "Woohoo!" Tristan cheered, oblivious to the fact that people could see his celebration as meaning something else. 

Adir reddened, coughing awkwardly.

"Are you okay?" Tristan asked, looking concerned.

"No! I'm not sick, don't worry." He gave Tristan a weak smile.

"Dude, you sure sound sick."

"I'm not sick," Adir insisted, still quite red. 

"Just kiss already!" Sebastian interrupted. 

Andre looked over with a face of bewilderment. "I didn't peg you for a romance person at first," he said. 

"Haha, I'm a hopeless romantic," Sebastian admitted. 

Tristan hugged Adir and kissed his cheek.

Adir looked like he didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed about where Tristan had kissed him. He awkwardly hugged him back.

"Thank you!" Tristan said to Adire, backing up. "Who's next?" he asked cheerfully.

"Me!" Sebastian said excitedly.

"Kay." Tristan tossed him the bottle.

Sebastian spun it, and Noah watched as the water glimmered inside. Tristan was right, it was very shiny.

The bottle stilled and landed on Andre. 

Andre looked down at the bottle, and then at Sebastian. "You didn't rig this?"

Sebastian shook his head, "I'm not some magician," he said.

"You said you were a hopeless romantic," Andre commented. 

"That doesn't mean I'll rig a Spin the Bottle game to kiss some stranger I met today," Sebastian said, looking insulted.

Andre mused, "I get your point. So.....how is this going to go?"

"You kiss. And then..." Noah tried to think of another step. "You try not to kill each other."

Sebastian shrugged, and just leaned in, pecked him quickly on the lips and turned away, blushing. 

Andre pulled away sharply and blushed slightly. "So that's that," he said quickly.

"I can go," Noah offered, immediately regretting it. They tugged their black hair as if they had bangs and silently wished for less tousled hair so they could just plaster it in their own face.

Noah shoved the bottle towards Vivian to take the attention off of themself. Hopefully, no one had heard them.

Noah frowned. "Who's going?" they asked, trying to pretend they never said anything.

Sebastian shrugged, "Maybe Jax?" 

"Woah, woah, woah, didn't you just say you were going, Noah?" Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"No I didn't!" Noah exclaimed quickly, smiling their brightest smile.

Vivian shrugged. "Alrightttt—How 'bout Jax?"

Noah tossed the bottle at Jax casually. "How 'bout you?"

Jax caught the bottle and shrugged, giving it a good spin. Noah leaned over in their wheelchair, intently watching the bottle.

The bottle slowed and landed on....

Noah.

"Wh- motherfluffer!" Noah 'cursed.' "That bottle isn't fair!"

Vivian shrugged. "It's perfectly fair."

"Is that your version of swearing?" Jax asked amusedly, moving over to them.

"Motherfluffer, I-" Andre burst out in laughter.

"Do you expect me to use profanity?" Noah grumbled, trying to wheel away.

"Fluff you," Noah said, basically burning the skin off of their own hands as they tried to speedily 'run' away in their wheelchair. "I'm busting that door out if it will be the death of me."

Jax laughed, jogging after him and trying to stop the chair.

Vivian mock-sighed at Noah. "Dramatic, much?"

"Son of a monkey," Noah grumbled as they wheeled faster. 

"I'm using that from now on," Adir commented dryly. "FLUfF yoU."

"Shut up, donkeyhole," Noah called.

Jogging alongside the wheelchair because he couldn't actually stop it, Jax leaned in and pecked Noah on the cheek.

Sebastian couldn't control his laughter, so he nearly hiccuped due to too much laughter. Vivian just burst out laughing. They couldn't handle this. 

"Why are you so flipping athletic? I was hoping you would trip or something!" Noah said, stopping the wheelchair.

"Years of track and lacrosse?" Jax tried, giving him a shy smile. "Besides, that wasn't so bad, was it?"

"That was too bad," they grumbled, wheeling back to the group. "I'm currently rethinking all of the horrible life decisions that led to this moment."

"Truth or dare?" Sebastian suggested in between hiccups.

"Alrighty," Vivian grinned.

Owen personally didn't like Truth or Dare, but he was busy tallying up his Aimen points against all the Jaimen points. 

But then everything went black. A sickening, dizzy black.

↝↝↝↝↝↝↝

Owen suddenly woke up. You're not dead? I'M NOT DEAD?

Aimee groaned a bit next to Owen as if she had a headache and tried to sit up.

Someone had arranged Aimee in between Jax and Owen and Andre right on top of Sebastian.  Whoever they were, obviously they had some ships.

Andre blinked. "What just ha-"

Sebastian blushed very evidently, "Um..."

Andre promptly moved away, his cheeks painted light pink. 

Jax sat up, blushing slightly, and glanced around. "Where the fluff are we?"

Aimee was sitting up and glancing around with her eyebrows scrunched together..

"You're still with the fluff thing?" Andre asked.

Then Owen looked up and screamed, like a real, honest-to-goodness scream. He stared at the bound and gagged bodies of his family-Owen saw Aimee look up and freeze with fear as well. Jax glanced up and gasped.

Marie was there too- Her blonde hair was soaked with blood, "What the [redacted]?" Owen asked, not bothering to use 'Fluff'.

Tristan started crying and hugged his bag of gummy bears when he saw his parents and 6 siblings.

Owen's dad- the same dad who had literally paid for Owen to go away- widened his eyes when he saw Owen. Owen looked away. 

Adir looked like he was having a panic attack when he saw his parents and siblings. He clutched his chest. He evidently needed a teddy bear or something.

"Why the [redacted] heck our people um...well in boxes? Well, dudeman?" Aimee asks, aiming the questions at the dude who was sitting and sipping on tea above them.

Owen saw as the guy stood up, eyeing them all with distaste. 

"As amusing as all this drama [redacted] is, I'd like to get a move on," Dudeman-that's what Aimee had called him- said, adjusting his mask and sounding remarkably like a snarky dude in his late teens.

"This isn't right-" Owen started to say. Owen could practically see his sister, Lou, saying "Thanks, Captain Obvious," to go along with the eye roll she was giving him.

 "Why are you-" Jax cut Owen off, directing the question at the ~dudeman~.

He snickered. "'Why are you?' I believe the question is 'Who are you?' A) fix your [redacted] grammar, man. I can't stand bad grammar. B) bold of you to assume I'd answer that!"

"If you let me finish I would've said why are you doing this," Jax sassed.

"Ah yes," Vivian muttered. "Let's argue with our captor, who is currently also holding our families hostage."

"Oh, I waited more than 3 seconds. Who has 3 seconds in between words?" Dudeman asked with a smirk. "And it's cute you think I'd answer that question too."

Dudeman ominously explained the rules. "Number One: You must do the dare or truth given, unless it is changed. Number Two: No trying to cheat your way out of this. Number Three: No trying to escape," He continued on with several other rules, but all Owen heard was 'Blah, Blah, Blah'

  "For practice, why don't you play with each other?" he suggested. Then Dudeman snickered. "I've seen you do very interesting things with some other games."

"Wait, you've been stalking us?" 

"Of course he has. That's basic knowledge when you're about to kidnap people." Vivian sighed.
