~Met Behind the Masks~

Chapter 6

~Lauren's POV~ 

I wake up and immediately get blinded by bright sunlight. I groan in frustration, then flip over and cover my face with the blanket. Wait, I don't remember going to bed last night.. I ignore the blinding light and look over the room I'm in. I reach a black couch with blankets on it. I get up and check, making sure nobody was there. As I slowly approach the, really nice, piece of furniture, I hear a groan. I stop in place and watch the figure move.

I look over at the table that's by the arm of the couch and see an owl mask. I immediately turn around and head towards the door. I know that's Vanoss, and I'm NOT gonna go being snoopy and looking at his face. I lightly close the door, then look at my new surroundings. I see a thousand doors, then some stairs at the end of them. I quietly make my way towards them, making sure to not wake anyone else up.

I walk down the stairs, only to be met, with yet, another person. His eyes go wide, then he scurries up the stairs. I shrug off that weird moment, but can't help but remember the way he looked. He had blonde-ish hair, blue eyes, a mustache type thing as well as a slight beard. I make it to the bottom of the stairs and see Dathi, Jon, Mini, and Moo all sitting on the couch. Dathi is on the green one, Del is on the blue one, Moo is on the orange one, and Mini is on the purple one. 

I smile at them, then plop down next to Delirious. He looks over at me, so I smile at him. I notice he still has his mask on. I lean over to him and whisper "Why are you still wearing your mask..?" He looks over at me, then whispers back "Because. I don't intend to let you see my injuries.", then leans back with a wink. I roll my eyes, but let it slide. He'll take it off when he's comfortable I guess. I jump back up, not interested in whatever they're watching, and walk into the kitchen.

I begin to rampage their fridge, only seeing raw eggs and stuff. Then, it gives me an idea. They made me dinner last night, so I should make them breakfast. I see about 4 cartons of eggs, so I shrug and grab 3. I grab 2 packages of bacon, along with the butter, milk, and cheese. I close the fridge door with my foot, then set all the raw food on the counter. I go through about 4 cupboards before finally finding the frying pans in the bottom left, close to the corner.

(Please excuse me in this cooking scene is bad. I don't do good with step by step specifically placing things correctly XD You have been warned) I crack open all 72 eggs in about 4 different bowls, then pour the milk in each of them. I mix them up firmly, so there's not much chunky yolk left. Once I finish the first bowl, I put the pan on the stove and turn it on to about the middle. After I see the red on the stove top, I spray the pan with non-stick spray and set it down.

I finish off the last three bowls, then pour in the first two. This is going to take awhile.. I grab another decently sized pan from the cupboard, then set it down on the burner next to the eggs. I turn on the stovetop, then cut open a package of bacon. I pull out about 4 slices, then set them in the frying pan. I hear the sizzle, making my stomach growl. I smile, but keep my focus on the food. I stir the eggs, but see that they're no where near done.

~Time skip so that I don't have to explain everything~

I finish buttering the last piece of toast, then set it on the plate with the others. I make my rounds, turning off the appliances, then wash my hands. "BREAKFAST!" I yell really loudly. The people in the livingroom heard me first, so they all came running in. I set the plates down on the table as they take their seats, making it a bit more difficult for me to reach over them. After grabbing the plate of toast, I see all the seats are taken. 

I look for an opening, but see none. I sigh and reach over the head of the person in front of me. But them being very tall, I have to stand on my tiptoes. I look under me and see it's Evan. I smile, then set the plate down. I back away from that awkwardness, then look around once more. I still see no open seats, so I grab an empty plate and begin filling it with food. Once I get my bacon, I head to the counter and sit on it.

I listen to the conversation behind me and smile when I hear them talking about their funny moments in gaming. "I remember that time when me, Wildcat, Ohm, Panda (Bigjgglypanda), and Zero (Four0seven) were playing golfing with friends on our computers, and Ty-Wildcat, was raging because he couldn't get his ball in the hole on that one map with that big ass lion cat thing with the mouth moving up and down. It was so funny!" I hear an unfamiliar voice say.

I turn around and see Basically speaking, so I turn back around and continue eating my eggs. I feel some eyes on me, making me shift uncomfortably. I set my plate down, then get off the counter. I slowly slide on the floor, only so nobody can stare at me. I pick my plate back up and resume eating. As I finish off my toast, I feel a presence. I look to my left and see feet, so I look up and see Vanoss. He sits down next to me and sits in the position I'm in.

I continue to stare at him in awe. He looks over at me, his big yellow eyes staring right into my soul. "You can go sit with them.." I tell him awkwardly. "Nah." he simply replies. I smile, grateful that he didn't leave. It was a little lonely without anyone with me. I set my plate down and swing my arms over his neck. I feel him tense up a bit, but he eventually relaxes. I feel him put his plate down, then his arms make their way around my waist. 

"Why're you hugging me?" he asks, his voice a bit shaky. "This is my way of thanking you." I reply. "For what?" he continues on with the annoying questions. "Well, you saved my brother, you played video games with me, you moved me to a bed, and now you're sitting with me when you could be sitting with your family." I explain. Right then, I could literally feel his smile. I don't have to see it to know he's happy. I bet he doesn't get many hugs since they're all guys here.

I release him, only to have him pull me tighter. I smile, but feel him release. "Uh, s-sorry." he stutters out. I look up at him with a smile still painting my face. "Nothing to be sorry about." I reply, then stand up. I put my plate in the sink, and feel Vanoss do the same. "Do you remember anything last night?" he whispers in my ear. I blush, wondering what did happen. I'm still fully clothed soo....
