BBS One-Shots

Mario Kart Rage

Soooooo, this is gonna be my first attempt (I think) at some Poly!BBS. I only have Brian, Craig, Tyler, and David (daithi, in case you weren't aware) in this one, because not everyone plays. I'm just kind of going for it and seeing what happens, so, I hope it doesn't suck as bad as I think it will.

Usually, after a few rounds of Mario Kart, everyone would be round up. There would be arguing, rage, some whining and complaining, and Craig would usually be in last place. Nobody was really sure why, but he was the easiest target because he didn't play the game as much as everyone else.

They all had their own setups, each fortunate enough to have the money for it. Everyone had their own room and their own setup for games. Everyone meant Tyler, Craig, Daithi, and Brian.

Currently, Tyler was winning, followed closely by Daithi. Brian was a few points away from the top two, but he wasn't at the thirty-point difference that Craig was. Craig hadn't won once, hadn't even gotten anything other than last place, since they started playing, and it was because everyone had subconsciously decided to fuck him over.

Craig was trying, he really was, but it was hard when Daithi had literally set down his controller and come into his room to start to tickle him. He'd left quickly, before causing someone to lap Craig, but after another minute or so of driving around the track, Brian and Tyler had both lapped the youngest member in the relationship.

Craig was seriously trying not to cry, because his pride was hurt and he felt like he was being attacked, even though he knew it was a stupid video game and that it shouldn't matter.

He'd just had relationship problems with his last boyfriend, abusive problems, so he was constantly scared of anyone's disapproval or trying to say 'stop' and 'no'. He just lacked the ability to tell someone when he didn't like what they were doing, so he went along with it. He was scared that someone would hit him, and the verbal abuse he'd once revived made it worse.

So, here Craig was, sitting in his room in silence as he was teased by everyone else because of said quietness. He didn't want to show any weakness, none at all, so he really was doing his best.

Tyler screamed something over the call, loud enough for everyone in the call to hear in their house and not through the mic, before throwing a comment at Daithi. Daithi shot back, a snarl in his voice and they continued to bicker until Brian managed to blue shell the both of them.

Brian threw his red shell backwards and it hit Craig, stopping him from moving from fourth. He threw another one, sending the young man further back, and they all heard the noise of frustration coming from the man, and then Brian teased him about never leaving the spot.

Craig closed his eyes and moved away from his mic, taking in a deep breath and holding back the pained noise. He couldn't cry. He could not cry. He refused to cry. He flinched when Daithi yelled, and held his breath when Tyler yelled back.

Craig stayed silent as they began to play the next map, and he was hit with a red shell, the rest of the group pulling away from him. He protested quietly, just a whine leaving his mouth. Everyone laughed, and Craig tried to force a smile on his face. He'd feel better if he was smiling right?

"Come on, Craig! Stop being such a bitch! Take it like a man!" Brian yelled, laughing.

Craig flinched at the loud voice and he tried not to think about how his past boyfriend had said something along the same lines while hitting him. He could feel his eyes start to sting but he sucked in a breath and swallowed harshly.

When Craig managed to get into third, in front of Daithi, he was bombarded by yells of frustration and disappointment, so he ran himself into the wall, letting Daithi get in front of him. He didn't want to be the cause of disappointment, so when he was laughed at for running into a wall, he, somehow, felt better than being yelled at. He wouldn't be a disappointment, at least, not completely.

"Wow, Craig," Daithi laughed. "So much talent. That was so disappointing."

Craig froze. Always wrong, no matter what he did.

Disappointment. God, what a fucking disappointment. You're such a disappointment Craig. I can't believe I'm still letting you date me. I should have broken up with your sorry ass ages ago, but I haven't. I'm letting you date me, yeah? This is a gift for you, because I'm the best thing you're ever going to get. Why are you such a little bitch?

Craig didn't realize he had tears streaming down his face, and he didn't realize that he'd just stopped moving.

"Craig, baby, are you alright?" Tyler asked carefully. "You're really quiet."

Craig sniffled. "I'm fine," he said, but his voice wavered and it sounded fake. Craig could hear Tyler set down his controller and then he heard the footsteps coming towards him. His door swung open, causing Craig to flinch and close his eyes as he waited for Tyler to hit him.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Tyler asked softly, gently taking Craig's hand in his own and rubbing his thumb over his knuckles.

"I'm such a disappointment!" Craig sobbed, weakly trying to take his hand out of Tyler's grip. He didn't want to get hit.

"No, you're not. God, we should have thought about what we were saying and doing to you. I'm so sorry, Craig," Tyler whispered, gently pulling the younger man into a tight hug.

Craig sobbed into Tyler's shoulder, hiding his face away from the world.

Brian and Daithi appeared in the doorway, both looking guilty.

"I'm sorry," Brian whispered.

"I'm sorry as well," Daithi murmured.

They both looked scared, guilty, like they wanted to make everything right.

Tyler gently helped Craig stand up. He swung Craig up and into his arms, bridal style, making the youngest man yelp in fright. He clung onto Tyler, hiding his face in the taller mans shoulder.

"How about we all go watch a movie, yeah?" Tyler suggested.

Craig nodded into his shoulder.

"I'll turn everything off," Daithi offered, referring to their games. He walked away when he say a small smile from Tyler.

"I'll make popcorn," Brian said, running away before anyone could protest.

"Well, that leaves us to pick out the movie, doesn't it?" Tyler asked, walking down the steps with Craig in his arms. Craig nodded.

They ended up picking Pacific Rim, because it's the first interesting thing Craig saw, and then he and Tyler got situated on the couch.

Tyler sat in the middle of the couch, Craig sitting on his lap with his head resting on Tyler's shoulder. Daithi sat to their left, cuddled up closely to Tyler, his head resting on the other shoulder. Brian was laying down with his head in Craig's lap, gently rubbing circles on the palm of his head.

Craig was feeling better by the end of the movie, so they just watched another, and another, until they all fell asleep.
