tough luck - ALEJANDRO X READER

024

After Owen had won your team two gold medals, everyone made their way back to the Odeum of Pericles to check in on Duncan and Gwen with Chris leading the way.

Neither of the two seemed to have obtained the gold medal yet but the host stopped all of you at a certain distance from the pair, preventing any of you from getting a closer look. He went up to them personally, and whilst he did so the dreaded bell rang, meaning that they'd have to start singing.

You unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, knowing that you wouldn't have to do any singing for today's episode.

"Nice one Gwen!" Courtney cheered as her and Gwen shared a high five, you frowned slightly upon Duncan not being able to win another medal for the team but you guys were still in the lead with two gold medals to one.

You noticed Alejandro returning to your side at that time, which was strange because you couldn't recall him leaving. Even still you didn't dwell on the matter for too long.

"Is Duncan okay? How long were you two along together before we got here?" Courtney continued to question Gwen to which she looked taken-back.

Gwen had no time to form an answer as Chris started walking away dismissing the questions, "Next event, moving on!"

"What about Duncan? Shouldn't we help him?" the C.I.T. desperately asked but Chris still payed no mind.

"Chef will deal with that, moving on!" he said as he led the group to the destination of the next event. To be honest, missing Duncan from your team was probably an advantage.

Tyler kept his head hung low so you contemplated whether or not you should go up and talk to him whilst Alejandro gave you a look, a look that told you he knew something valuable.

"Interesting song. Someone's been very naughty" Alejandro said with smirk, his hands resting on the counter of the bathroom sink

"Welcome to the hurdles event! The ultimate test of speed and flexibility." Chris announced as he brought you all to an open area containing five pairs of hurdles going down a line increasing in height.

"Players must leap higher and higher over these hurdles until while they race for the finish line. First one across wins the gold!" he said as he finished explaining the rules, "Heather, since you're the only one from Team Amazon yet to compete, you'll be going head to head against Alejandro or (Y/N) for the same reason."

You and Alejandro shared a mutual look, you weren't sure if he didn't want to participate but you definitely weren't keen. Heather approached the two of you, "Sorry, but I'm fast and flexible," she taunted stretching her left leg with her arm.

Alejandro seemingly looked unimpressed at her actions whilst you on the other hand scratched your head. Owen came up to you both adding to the tension, "If we lose tonight, we're gonna vote out whoever didn't win a gold medal, right?"

At his words, Alejandro effortlessly went down into the splits and tied his hair into a ponytail with his feet before standing back up again. All you could do was look in equal shock and horror at the sight.

"Um, what?" you asked, blinking in disbelief

"No man should be that flexible!" Gwen stated.
