Chapter Seven -Games

We ended up with some two-player ninja fighting game and I was pit against Jace, as he had already claimed the controllers. I was attempting to beat Jace's big breasted, ninja girl with my sumo guy with my amazing method of hitting random buttons continuously. I round one I managed to win but since then it wasn't working out that well. Nate had plopped down next to me on the available side opposite Jace, knees up with his elbows resting on them, folded, his face in his hands. Deacon had set himself up somewhere behind us on the mattress. I was punching Jace's character in the face when his suddenly did some shining spin jump thing in the air and flattened mine, killing me.

"Wha? No fair. How did you even do that?" I shook my head turning to him face scrunched; half in annoyance, half curious to how he managed it.

"I've got skills." Jace grinned smugly and shrugged at me, running his hand through his hair. I snorted and lightly whacked his arm at his cockiness, making the others chuckled. Jace rubbed his arm as if my hit had actually hurt and I rolled my eyes handing my controller over to Nate.

"Your go." I planned to watch which buttons he pressed so I could use it next game.

"Aww, don't be mad at me." Jace wined pulling me to him, his arm wrapped around my shoulders. My face squished into his side and I laughed at his attempt to make up our non-argument. By suffocating me.

"Fine, I forgive you." I huffed dramatically, speaking into his t-shirt.

"Good, good. Glad we're friends again." He pressed something into my head and I think he might have pecked at the top of my head but can't be certain.

I heard the game start up again and tried to pull away but he held on tight. I wiggled around a little but only managed to get my head free so I could see his controller. I tried to monitor what he pressed, but after a while of what I could only decipher as randomness I focussed back on the screen. I could hear his soft breathing and feel the warmth from his body pressed against mine, liking it a slightly too much. A few times I closed my eyes and concentrated on the feeling, wanting the closeness even if it was just for now. I've lost track of who's winning but by the sounds the boys are making, I'd guess Nate has the upper hand.

A vibration on the bed distracts Jace and he reaches into his back pocket to get out his phone. I use the distraction to escape and slid over closer to Nate, somewhat drowsy now. At the next fights intro I glance over to see him typing fast on his phone. The unwanted thought that he is texting some girl he was with last night comes into my mind. I shouldn't feel this way considering I barely know the guy, and also knowing it would be the same with both his friend and brother.

I'm so messed up.

The battles continue but I'm completely not paying attention to any of it now, trying to think of an excuse to leave. Its surprisingly cold in here, probably due to the fans they have set up behind the TV to keep everything from over heating. I think its working a little too well and feel a slight shiver ripple through my body.

A tap at my back makes me turn around, seeing that Deacons nudged me with his foot. He's leaning against the wall with a big rug wrapped around him. He opens up the rug and waves me over.

Not really seeing an un-awkward reason not to, I crawl to him and sit next the open arm. I expect him to just wrap the rug around me, but instead he lifts me up by my hips and places me between his legs, before pulling the heat around the both of us.

Not really sure how to react I just stay where I am, stiff but at least I'm warm. Its takes a few minutes but eventually I settle back resting my back on his chest.

"You okay?" Deacon asks me quietly, sounding nervous.

I should probably answer him properly as he's obviously concerned by my stiffness, but I just bob my head instead.

"You sure?" He murmurs.

"Mhmm" I mumble back.

We stay like that for a while and the other two argue and play another round to solve some disagreement on the final match. Nate asks Deacon if he wants to play, with out turning around, still focussed on the game. Deacon rubs his cheek against my head pulling me tighter into his arms, and says that he's fine.

It feels really nice here, in the safety he's set up around me. But It makes me panic, similar to how I felt next to Jace, except stronger as this is much more intimate than that. Even if he means it in a friendly way, its making my heart pound in my chest. I start to turn around, not sure if I'm going to push away or pull closer, when a loud growl comes out from my belly and I rub at it trying to stop the sound.

"Dinner time." Nate sings.

He and Jace swivel and face us. They look slightly surprised to see me cozied up with Deacon; Jace opens his mouth but then closes it, Nate's brows go up but then smirks.
