Claudette walked down the hall with Eliot in her arms, Layla walking beside her, the three of them yawning every second or so. Claudette smiled, still able to feel Jin's lips against her forehead before the two went their separate ways.

Jimin's door was open, so of course Jimin dancing in his room caught Claudette's attention while she walked past it. She giggled softly as Jimin did a little twirl, absolutely vibing to whatever song he was listening to with his headphones.

"Come on." Claudette spoke softly to Layla as she walked inside, closing the door behind her German Shepherd. Claudette stood behind Jimin and started to dance with Eliot, holding him out as if they were slow dancing together, Layla watching from where she sat. "I wonder what song he's listening to Eliot."

Well, her question was answered quite quickly once Jimin sang, well growled the words, "Bubblegum Bitch-oh my God." Jimin scrambled to throw his headphones off, eyes wide as Claudette blinked.

"Are you listening to Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and The Diamonds?" Claudette giggled, knowing the song just by the two words.

"No." Jimin shook his head, panicking inside. "Yes." He nodded once Claudette gave him a look.

"God you're so cute." Claudette hugged Jimin, him relieved she approved of his song choice. "And a bad bitch."

"Well of course Ettie." Park Jimin took her in his arms, his hand on the small of her back, his other helping her hold Eliot. "I'm Park Jimin." Claudette smiled and laid her head on his shoulder, letting Jimin lead them in dance. "Wanna hang out with me for the night?"

"Of course." Claudette stood up from his shoulder, smiling into his eyes, leaning forward and kissing him delicately. "Your lips are so soft." Jimin slipped his hand from her back to tickle her side, his other moving from Eliot to aid in his other. "Jimin!" Claudette laughed, squirming a bit.

"Are you ticklish?" Jimin laughed, not easing up, just going harder. "Are you?"

"Yes yes!" Claudette squealed, barely able to get her words out because of how hard she was laughing. "Are you?"

"I-AH!" Jimin laughed out, Claudette setting ELiot down so she could attack Jimin back. "Stop!"

"You stop!" Claudette giggled, both of them tickling each other, refusing to lose. They backed up until they fell onto the bed, still laughing and trying to move from each other so they could breathe. "Jimin!"

"Ettie!" Jimin shouted back, pinching her cheeks, Claudette doing the same to him. Jimin let his hand roam around on the bed, trying to so desperately find something to defend himself-

Claudette's jaw dropped once the pillow hit her face. Jimin tried to hide his smile, a total guilty look on his face as he cleared his throat and looked away. "Oh no who did that Layla was that-"

Claudette hit Jimin back with her own pillow, a look of betrayal on Jimin's face, Claudette looking at her nails with a smile. "I think Juno did that-"

"OH YOU'RE ON!" Jimin jumped to his feet, standing on his bed as he bounced slightly. "On your feet!"

Claudette grinned and jumped up (Jimin helping her up because someone is a simp-) "You ready to lose?"

"I should be asking you that question." Jimin and Claudette slowly walked in a circle, eyeing each other, their pillows at the ready.

"What is going on Laya?" Eliot looking up at his big sister, Layla watching with a face of confusion.

"I think they're going to war." Layla tilted her head to the side as she watched the two swing their pillows at each other. "iIve never seen this form of war before."
