Tension was high - the thought and sight of dead bodies where no longer hard to look at, this almost seemed normal to everyone

Blood stained jumpsuits to the off white shoes, this all was a game that began to seem normal - everyone for themselves.

You all walk into a big white room feeling the numb sensation in your thumbs - trying to keep calm.

456 gives you a nod as you step out on to the platform gripping your shoes to the floor. Seeing the fear in other players eyes as you scope out the area

It looked like a playground, sand filled floor with large climbers and swings on the left side

Your feet scraped across the sand along with the others trailing behind you

"What do you think?"

456 steps closer to you turning his head making sure his voice was to a whisper

"All I know is half the people in this room are going to die today"

You say twirling your thumbs around nervously

456 looks up at you with determination in his eyes like never seen before

"You got this y/n , I promise"

456 grabs your hand shaking it , you somehow felt reassured until the voice booms across the arena.

"Good evening players"

You gulp feeling the saliva heavily go down your throat like a dry pill.

456 nods keeping eye contact with you reassuring your nerves

"Pick a shape and stand in-front of it - after I will explain the rules"

The voice booms across the microphone as everyone stands in wonder

Triangle, square, star, and umbrella shapes stood in-front of you as 456 walks up to you grabbing your arm.

"What shape are you going for?"

His smile was ever so distracting , it gave you a sense of relief and made you forget you where even in the arena to begin with.

You clear your throat looking back at the shapes as some begin to line up

"I think I'll go for umbrella"

456 laughs holding your arm

"As a kid I never could get a good enough umbrella"

456 explains as your mind draws to a blank, trying to make the decision - this game could be anything , shapes ? What does this have to do with shapes?

You scratch your head as 456 explains more into his umbrella story

"I'll go for circle"

You interrupt him as he seems shocked

"Circle? What's the meaning behind circle"

456 looks confused at your decision

"Alright alright circle it is then, I'm sticking with umbrella"

456 crosses his arms in confidence as you both separate into the lines, standing in-front of your shapes.

-
The microphone booms
"The time is up for choosing your shapes, now I will explain the game"

You grab the tins from the guards , 456 gives you a cheeky smirk before grabbing his tin.

A honeycomb with the shape you chose in your palms as you unscrew the tin

You plop right next to 456

A honeycomb game - a needle -

Sweat drips down his face as he comes to the realization

"Shit"

He mumbles as his tin begins to shake with his hand .

You quickly grab his hand keeping it still

"Remember what you said, you've got this"

You smile at him as he looks up - you see the nervousness in his eyes.

—-
The room falls silent as the scraping of honeycomb fills the arena as you scrape away at the circle.

456's breathing became heavier as he concentrated on his umbrella

-

Suddenly he begins licking it, holding it up to the light as you sit confused

He nods your direction focusing on his lines

The distant gunshots caused you to flinch

He licks the honeycomb as you follow, you begin licking the honeycomb as 456 almost gets distracted by your mouth movements , he bites his lip infatuated by you and the cookie.

You pull it apart as it comes out perfectly as you sigh .

Player (your #) passed

The voice says as you walk out of the arena with some others.

-

You begin to worry as 456 had been taking the longest, hearing the distant gunshots from the arena your hands tremble as the door opens.

"Player 456 passed"

456 walks into the hallway grabbing you and picking you up spinning you around

"I PASSED!"

He chants

Pinning you to the wall sending shivers down your spine

He brushes the hair from your face

"I told you we could do it"

He hisses as his warm breath goes on your neck throwing your head back

"You chose umbrella like an idiot"

You smirk teasing him as he puts his finger to your lip

"I may be an idiot, but I saved my ass by licking that sucker"

He smirks looking you up and down still pinning you to the wall.

As others walk in he unleashes himself from you making sure he wouldn't get caught

"We will pickup where we left off"

456 smirks turning around heading back to the dorm.
