The Lines Were Gone (Joe x reader X Cherry)

The contestants

You, Joe, Cherry, Shadow, some random guy, Miya, snow, Adam, and a guy going by snake.

"Huh? An uneven amount, then I suppose someone will have to sit this round out and skate against one of our losers, let's draw to see who it is!!" As Adam pulled a label out of the bin he turned it around and you could see his eyes on you through from behind his mask, the name on the slip was you.

You sighed a little disappointed. "Shred it for me." You laughed to Joe.

"I feel left out." Cherry said seemingly needing attention.

"You don't do any shredding, you are precise and calculated, Joe is a muscle idiot." You giggled.

"I won't get offended." Joe mumbled to himself. "And I will honey."

"Don't lose to the snowbird, Darling." Cherry chuckled leaning on you as he spoke to Joe.

"Of course baby." Joe said back scrunching his nose. You burst out laughing leaning your head on Cherry's shoulder.

"That's adorable." You giggled. "So did you talk to him?"

"Was that little display not enough?" Cherry laughed. "Of course we talked, we did more than talk, turns out Joe really likes hair.. a warning for the future."

"Ooh, hair ties, got it." You hissed a little. "Should I massage your head, that might've hurt?"

"As much as I would love tender fingers running through my hair, I think I'm okay, Joe is an aftercare god, bubble baths, tea or wine, massages wherever you need, emotional support." Cherry sighed. "Honestly, for how rough he can get I can see why he learned good aftercare."

"He was probably worse with you than most girls, after all, he knows you can take it, and you're not a girl, he also could take your opinion in after to make sure that if it happens again he can adjust things if need be." You explained. "He's a lot smarter than he first presents as."

"I'm aware, you act if I wasn't there our entire teenage years." Cherry smiled. You watched as joe raced.

"He's having problems staying ahead, I think he's going to lose this race, do you?" You asked.

"Yeah." Cherry said. "Langa has improved greatly since he started, I don't know if even you could beat him now."

"I don't know either, but this should be over quickly, I suppose I'll probably be racing joe." You smiled.

"He wouldn't let you lose if he's already out for the count, remember that." Cherry smiled.

"Oh but he'll still put on a good show, can't leave his fans waiting." You laughed.

"Of course, he wouldn't be our gorilla if he didn't." Cherry chuckled cozied up to you.

"Wish me luck, blossom." You smiled gently.

"Good luck, love." He chuckled. "Tell that gorilla it was a good show."

"Will do." You blew him a kiss and he seemed to jump a little, still embarrassed by the trivial thing.
