Welcome to the last week of Flufftober!
Prompt: All the Hugs
"Today is National Hug Day,"Vince announced.
"It is?"Ben asked, sipping his orange juice.
"No, but I'm deciding that it is."
"Watch out,"Joel joked as Vince squeezed him.
"Hush,"Vince said, settling his head onto Joel's shoulder.
Ben was second. He was getting a bag of chips from the pantry when Vince popped up behind him and squeezed him.
"Gah!"Ben exclaimed, flailing wildly.
"You've been squeezed,"Vince murmured menacingly.
He added a black cape to his ensemble and stalked off to find David Smallbone.
"Hello!"Vince yelled, grabbing David as he turned. David yelped (he would later deny that).
"Ha! I scared you!"Vince exclaimed, gleeful.
"No, you did not,"David said, trying to get out of Vince's embrace. Either Vince started lifting weights or he was getting really old. He gave up.
"You have been squeezed,"Vince murmured menacingly.
Then he sped off to find his next victim.
"Hold water!"Luke screamed as Vince grabbed his neck.
"Sorry! I meant the waist,"Vince apologized.
"How'd you- never mind."
Vince held him for a long time. Then, he gripped him harder.
"You have been squeezed."
By the end of the day, everyone (including a surprised Courtney and a very enthusiastic Phoenix) had been squeezed.
Vince, too.
Then, on his way home, he thought better of it and asked David Smallbone for Chris Tomlin' address, drove to his house, and rang the bell. He fluffed out his cape. When Chris answered, Vince grabbed the man in a hug, squeezed him so tight Tomlin gasped for air, and murmured, "You have been squeezed."
Chris never went near Vince again.
