Upon arriving at the pack house, we have a bit of time before the rest of the boys would be home since they had to finish last period. I'm feeling a bit unsteady from everything, Friday fall, seeing Marie, and today with McCoy. Sean tucks a blanket around me while Owen hands me a glass of water.

Owen has to go upstairs and get a few things done, but Sean turns on the T.V. and lets me pick the channel. I light up upon finding a Scooby Doo marathon on one channel. He sends me an amused glance, but doesn't say anything. He leans back on the couch with me as we sit in comfortable silence.

We are onto the second episode when I hear the sounds of cars pulling up outside. Voices soon follow.

"Trouble!" Gabe calls immediately upon slamming the front door open. I laugh as storms into the living room. The other guys close behind him. "I swear you are going to give me fucking gray hairs."

"Sorry, Meanie," I manage to say while laughing. It feels good to laugh.

"We cannot start this fucking sleepover without a fort," Gabe says blocking the T.V.

"It's not really a sleepover if we all live here, Gabe," Nathan points out. Gabe rolls his eyes.

"I don't fucking care," he retorts. "You make yourselves useful, we need blankets and snacks, fucking get to it!" Everyone is amused, but follows his directions. Kota, Victor, and North head into the kitchen to scrounge up some snacks while Nathan and Silas head to get all the blankets they can carry apparently.

Luke and Gabe pull me off the couch. Luke smirks at me as they push Sean out of the way. Sean rolls his eyes, but helps them out. They move the couch back, and then carry the table into the dining room so that it will be out of the way. I have never built a fort before, but the boys seem pretty excited.

Silas and Nathan come back carrying piles of various sheets and blankets. I recognize a few of them from the boys rooms. They work with Gabe, Luke, and Sean to drape the blankets from the ceiling. I rush into the kitchen dodging the other boys as they worked, and grab pins from the drawer. I bring them back handing to them up as they are needed.

Before too long I can see the 'fort' forming. It is like a tent or a secret hideaway. I like it. I help Silas and Nathan grab pillows from everyone's rooms. We pile them into the fort padding every inch of the floor and then some. The moment we are done Luke jumps from behind me landing gracefully on the cushions.

I turn around meeting Sean's eyes. He smirks as he dives forward as well, but he loops one of his arms around me pulling me down with him. We crash into the pillows, but it doesn't hurt. Instead I can't help the laughter that spills out of me.

"I hate to break up this fucking adorable bubble," Gabe's says from the entrance. "But pajamas first." His order has both Luke and Sean sighing. I sit up, and Nathan reaches in helping me out again. Everyone heads upstairs to change before all going back into the tent. Kota and the others really outdid themselves on snacks. There is a wide variety, but there's isn't very much chocolate at all. Probably was North's doing.

Even Owen joins us in our fort. The T.V was pulled in on one side opposite of the couch. I lean against the couch sandwiched between Kota and Luke.

"Time for some games mother fuckers!" Gabriel announces making some of the guys groan. I perk up at his words. I like games. "Nathan, truth or dare?" I frown at the question. I don't understand. I look over at Kota and he thankfully leans down and explains. I think I get it, but I wait to observe the others hoping I don't get asked for a while. Nathan lets out a loud sigh.

"Truth," he finally says. Gabe scoffs but Nathan sends him a glare. "I don't trust you after the last time I picked dare." Gabe smirks.

"It was just a little fucking chest hair," Gabe replies and shrugs. "It grew back." Nathan rolls his eyes.
