Life Improvement in Very High Levels {Bastille} [ON HOLD]

5: Catching Fire, Drawings and M&M's

Alice was expecting to have the most boring Saturday ever, after all, nothing would ever beat all the fun she had last night - hanging out with her favourite band.

Behold, at about 2pm, while she sat in front of the turned off tv finishing her cat sketch, the doorbell rang. As Josh and Liv were taking a nap, it was to her to go open the door.

Slowly she walked towards it, and stood on tiptoe to look through the peephole.

There stood Will, Dan, and a couple of boys about her age that she had never seen before. As she opened the door, the taller guy, she observed, looked impressively alike to Will (and was consequently very good looking), and the other one looked a lot like Dan (also very good looking). 

- Inception. - She giggled to herself, and when they laughed too, she realized she said that out loud, and immediately blushed.

She was hoping nobody had noticed it, but to her mischance, they all noticed, and thought it was adorable - especially the two boys.

- Uh, well, hey. - Dan broke the silence, awkwardly running his hand through his hair. 

- Hello. - Alice chuckled. The guys greeted her too, and then another awkward silence settled in.

- So, Alice, this is Nick, - Will placed a hand on the shoulder of the guy that looked like him, and the guy smiled softly, which made her blush lightly and smile back. - And that's Dave. - He pointed at the black-haired and blue-eyed boy, who also smiled adorably. 

- Nice to meet you. - They both said, and as she was about to reply, Josh squealed something from inside the apartment, which lead the guys to chuckle and Alice to excuse herself and check up on what was going on there. 

- Josh, what the hell- Alice said as she stepped on the kitchen and saw Josh laying on the floor, with milk spread around him and Milo licking it energically. 

- Uhh, I might have dropped the milk and slipped... - She laughed. - But don't worry 'bout me... - He clumsily got up holding onto her arm for support. - What are you doing? 

- Currently helping my clumsy dad to clean up this mess... - They laughed. - But before I was embarrassing myself in front of four hot guys- She stopped dead in the tracks when she realized she had said that out loud, and he shot her a mishievous grin, followed by an eyebrow wiggle. - I mean, no, I... I was just... I was- um... - Alice was blushing madly and her palms started sweating as she thought of an excuse. Josh just laughed.

- You can think guys are attractive, it's not gonna kill you or anything, you know.

- Yes, but- it's still awkward. - She said just above a whisper, and he laughed again. 

- Oh, Alice. - He sighed, chuckling, as he cleaned the floor. - You can go back to them, and I'll clean this. Don't worry 'bout me. - There was a pause. - Maybe you can even get on a daaate... - He wiggled his eyebrows again.

Alice groaned and turned on her heels, walking back to the corridor, trying to ignore the blush evident all over her face.

- What was that? - Will asked, chuckling.

- Oh, just my dad... - She dismissively waved her hand and they nodded. - Well, um, anyway, not wanting to sound rude or anything, but what are you guys doing here?

- We, uh, wanted to introduce you to our cousins- I mean, Dave's my cousin, Nick is Will's nephew... well anyway, they moved nearby recently, so they are going to the same school as you, and even though they are a bit older, you could maybe show them around? - Dan hurriedly said as he scratched the back of his neck, looking down.
