A Splash of Red -- Sidemen OT7

Sorry in advance.

Simon clicked the last fastening of his armour into place, turning to see if the other Sidemen needed any help. The boys had decided to all go paintballing together on an empty weekend. If they had thought it weird, in the beginning, that any signs of referees or supervisors were not present, no one had said anything, in which lay their mistake.

There was light banter and an air of cheer in the air as the Sidemen prepared. Harry had trouble binding his knee-pads, but Josh was there to lend a hand. Simon looked over to his other side to see Vik, one leg up on a bench, tightly tying his combat boots. For the first time that day, one of the teens from the opposing team walked up to them with a smugly swaggering gait. He passed by Simon, Tobi and JJ without a second glance, then past Josh and Harry and Ethan. By the time he had stopped in front of Vik, all six of the others were looking at him suspiciously, thinking various thoughts along the lines of "He'd better not hurt our Vikky," "Yo who does this kid think he is?" and "Vik looks really hot in body armour."

The teen stuck his hand out, and Vik looked up, cautiously extending his own arm for a handshake. Invisibly to the other Sidemen, the boy drove his nails into Vik's palm and grinned menacingly. Vik made no response other than a genuine smile. If this kid thought he could intimidate the young Sidemen, he was greatly mistaken.

  "Can't wait to destroy you." The stranger said with a smirk, and Vik laughed his angelic laugh, throwing his head back, much to the chagrin of the teen and the adoration of Vik's six friends.

"You can try mate." He responded in kind, hoisting his loaded weapon over his shoulder. Sensing the commencement, the rest of the Sidemen did the same.

The game started with a shot in the air, one which no one could really tell who had fired. The team split up, Josh, Tobi and Simon staying back, and Vik sneakily leading the rest up front, crouching so he was near invisible in the grass. A shot rang out, and then another, and Vik turned his head in the direction of the noise. He pulled his weapon to his temple and fired, striking the opponent right between the ribs. The boy cursed and slumped, beginning to walk away.

"There's another one I saw at three o'clock." Whispered Ethan. "Right behind the one you just took down. Nice shot by the way." Vik nodded acknowledgement.

"I'll ambush him. You guys go west." He said thoughtfully, and slinked off in the direction of the teen he had taken down earlier, hearing the light footsteps of Ethan, JJ and Harry heading the other direction.

His breaths were obnoxiously loud to his own ears as he walked, heart beating quickly. He had no doubt the teen from before had set some sort of trap for him. Two shots and a shout to his left made Vik whirl his head around.

"That makes 3 down!" Tobi shouted in the distance. Another shot, and Harry yelped, followed by "Dammit! Harry's out!"

Two shots later, JJ shouted "I have avenged you Harry! Two for the price of one!" Vik did the easy math in his head. Two more guys, one of which was around him.

A scuffling behind a barricade to his right made Vik freeze, and in seconds he had turned, aimed and fired. A muffled groan and there was one man left. Vik continued foreword after a quiet "GG man."

The young Sidemen couldn't have known at the time that the two boys he had shot were doubling back, and were tailing him subtly, guns raised, though they had already been eliminated. Vik clambered over a low wall and heard a laugh. He raised his Paintball Gun. The teen who had shaken his hand stepped out from behind a concrete wall, his gun lowered. He smiled, but his eyes were malicious.
