Up North

"It's been weeks!" Brett exclaimed, "and we have yet to talk about it."

"Ever think about the fact that maybe she's just not ready to talk about it?" Reagan commented.

The two friends were hanging around in Reagan's lab. It had been a relatively slow day so they seized the opportunity to talk about their social lives (as if they hadn't done that every single day). Reagan was working on a new contraption as Brett paced the room.

"I did! But lately it feels like she's been avoiding me."

"Maybe she is."

"You know, you could at least pretend to care."

"I do care! I just don't know what you want me to say," Reagan said as she waved around a screwdriver.

"Well you know her better than I do. Do you have any idea what these 'bad things' she might be referring to are?"

Reagan shrugged, "I have some ideas."

"Are they really bad?"

Before Reagan could speak the doors of her lab slide open. The two turn to face the doorway to see Y/n striding in. She was holding a tablet in her hands and looked a bit anxious.

"Reagan," she said quietly, "can I talk to you for a sec?"

She looked over at Brett for a split second before turning back to face Reagan with pleading eyes.

Reagan put down her screwdriver, "sure."

The two girls looked over at Brett as if asking him to leave. He obliged leaving them alone in the cold laboratory.

"Did you say anything to him?" Y/n asked.

"Of course not," Reagan said, "I would never."

She reached into the pocket of her lab coat to retrieve a VHS tape, "I can destroy it if you want. No one would ever find out."

Y/n stared at the tape and sighed shakily as she read the label: Experiment 2314 video 23 of 25.

She shook her head, "Just promise me you won't show it to him. Ever."

"Of course."

"Thank you," Y/n cleared her throat, "uh there's also been a development in the Frasier case," she turned her tablet so that Reagan could see the screen, "I found him."

...

The gang all sat around in the back of a van heading towards some ski resort in California.

Y/n and Glenn played around with weaponry, each of them testing something different. Gigi was filling her nails while Myc and Andre adjusted their costumes for the mission.

Reagan was in the driver seat with Brett across from her in the passenger side. She thrummed her fingers against the steering wheel while a gloomy Brett looked out the window.

Reagan looked behind her before whispering to Brett, "you gonna mope around this whole trip?"

"I don't want to," he mumbled, "I can just feel this impending doom on our relationship. Like we're gonna break up or something."

Reagan pursed her lips and watched Y/n from the rear view mirror, "you won't. I promise."

The group pulled into a snowy trail and parked in front of a small cabin. They exited the vehicle and admired the view.

"Huh," Gigi said, "I'm hoping it's bigger on the inside," she remarked.

"It's not," Reagan stated bluntly, "we will be sharing two rooms."

"WHAT?!" the group exclaimed.

"Fucking budget cuts," Myc cursed.

"It's not too bad," Reagan explained, "it'll be just like summer camp. Girls on one side, guys in the other. Plus, there's a hot tub!"

"You've clearly never been to summer camp before," Y/n said as she picked up her luggage, "let's get inside before she makes us share beds too."

...

The girls unpacked each of their belongings. Gigi and Y/n had claimed their beds leaving Reagan with the most suspicious looking one.

"Someone could have been murdered here," Y/n commented as she unpacked the last of her things, "I swear this place hasn't been updated since the 1970s."

Reagan picked up a magazine that was on her nightstand, "ten positions to spice things up in the bedroom," she read aloud, "nothing like a little light reading."

She flipped through the magazine and paused at one of the pages. She cocked her head at the image before flipping it towards the others, "that cannot be comfortable right?"

Gigi looked over before continuing to unpack her stuff, "yeah it's not."

All three of them shared a look before bursting out into laughter, "really?" Y/n said, "you know what, I applaud you Gigi for even convincing a man to do that."

"Who said it was a man?"

Across the hall, the boys unpacked as well. They took note of Brett's mopey behavior. No one said anything at first before Andre asked, "dude are you okay?"

"Fine," he managed to stutter out, "totally...fabulous."

"It's about Y/n right?"

Brett's eyebrows shot up, "how did you know?"

"It's pretty obvious you guys are dating," Glenn commented.

"So obvious," Andre added.

"Plus now you're moping around like some sad puppy," Myc said, "we told you you wouldn't be able to handle her."

"So what happened? You two lovebirds break up?" Glenn asked.

"No. She's just been avoiding me and won't open up to me at all," Brett turned to Myc, "have you read her mind lately? Maybe we can put this whole thing behind us if I just knew what she's afraid of."

"Nope," Myc said with a wave of his tentacle, "last time I was in Y/n's thoughts I had to watch funny cat videos to cleanse. She's angry at everything and anything."

Brett fell back onto one of the beds, "this is hopeless. I just want to talk to her without her avoiding the conversation."

"Ah, so she showed you the tape?" Glenn asked.

Brett shot up, "tape? What tape?"

Andre, Myc, and Glenn all shared a look.

"Nothing," Andre replied quickly. He zipped up his suitcase, "umm let's go skiing before we're super busy tomorrow!"

The three guys slowly exited the room leaving a confused Brett with only one thing on his mind: what the fuck is on that tape?

A/N:
Sorry this chapter is relatively short lol. This whole trip is gonna span into two more chapters.

What do you y'all think is on the tape??

Anyway more smut soon tee hee 🤭
