Welcome to Nuketown! (On Hold)

Another One?!

Bri almost fell off the counter as Braxton quickly pulled away from her.

Everyone bursted into laughter as the two turned a deep red and slowly made their way into the living room.

"Assholes." Braxton mumbled. "What was that? I think your lips might be swollen from kissing your girlfriend so much!" Levi mocked them. Bri punched his arm and went back into the kitchen to get her breakfast.

"Be easy on her, alright? I was helping her calm down and relax." Braxton put his hands in his pockets. "So that meant nothing?" You felt anger rising in your stomach. If he was only kissing her to calm her and trick her, you were gonna hurt him.

"It did mean something. We didn't actually breakup, we just didn't see each other for a while. That was kinda our first kiss since we met back up." He scratched the back of his neck. Your anger subsided and you took a deep breath.

"I always suspected that there was something between you two." You winked at him jokingly. "Heh, yeah. I wouldn't just play with her emotions like that, she means too much to me."

"So when did you guys have your 'first' first kiss?" You asked him. "Um, around Christmas. About a month or so after we officially started dating."

"Why around the holiday?" You asked. "Mistletoe." Was all he said.

"That's cute." You nudged his arm. "Yeah. It was a gift for our one month together. She turned so red when it happened." Everyone laughed.

"She means a lot to me. I just hope she knows that." He looked at Bri as she walked back in the room. She smiled and looked at him. "Whatcha talkin' about?" She leaned against him.

"Oh nothing...just 'Braxanna's' first kiss!" Gillian squealed.

"Do you have to bring up the ship name?!" The redhead and brunette asked at once. "Yes I do! We came up with that at 7th grade Science Fair! It is to be used until our lips can no longer carry the song of life." Everyone looked at Gillian with shock.

"What? Is there something in my teeth?" She swiped her tongue over her teeth.

"No, there's nothing in your teeth. That was just...the most poetic thing you've ever said." Bri looked at her blonde friend.

"I'm talented like that." She placed her hands on her hips. Everyone rolled their eyes.

"So how was it?" You asked Bri. "How was what?" A puzzled look was rested on her face. "The kiss! Did you use tongue the first time?"

Bri turned a deep red and shot a soft glare at Braxton. "No, there was no tongue, no one does that the first time. Anyways!! What's the plan for today?" The topic switch gave the hint that the conversation made her uncomfortable.

"Don't know yet." Brady said and wondered out the door with Logan, Levi, Gavin, and Cole. Blake stood behind for a second before following the others, Talon walking behind him. Gillian smiled at Bri and said goodbye to you and Braxton.

"And then there were three." Braxton said, trying to kill the tension in the air. "Bump that down to two. I'm gonna go change out of my pajamas." Bri kissed the ginger on the cheek and walked to her room.

"What was the conversation change back there?" You asked him. "While she wants people to know that we're together, she's not too keen on talking about our relationship on a personal level. If you ask her if we went to the movies, she'll answer. But ask her about the last time we...kissed, she'll get uncomfortable."

"Makes sense. You don't want everyone to know everything." You nodded your head and looked in the direction Bri left.

"Hey Rookie?" You turned your attention back to the male. "Yes?"

"Did you leave someone behind to join the war?"

"No, I wasn't with anyone at the time. I had a few relationships throughout high school, but nothing too serious. A kiss there and there but not much besides that."

"So you didn't have the same feeling." His voice sounded sad.

"Same feeling of what?" A crash was heard from outside.

"Run!" Everyone who previously went outside was now scrambling to rush in and lock the door. After a second of fumbling with it, Blake locked the door and leaned against it. A pounding fist crashed into the other side of the thick wood.

"What the hell is going on in here?!" Bri walked into the living room wearing skinny jeans and a bra, her shirt draped on her arm.

"I don't know just hide!" Logan ran from the door with the others in close pursuit. As soon as Blake moved from his guard position, the door swung open with a great force behind it.

"What the hell...?" Braxton moved over to Bri and stood between her and the figure.

"YOU!!" The person bellowed with anger. He look several steps forward towards the redhead. "You fuck!!" The man wore a mask.

"Who the..." Braxton recognized the mask as soon as it was put into the light from the ceiling fan.

"Is that who I think it is?" Bri asked from her spot behind the ginger.

"Hunter?"
