Save Me - A ForthBeam Fanfic

Chapter 31

[Beam's P.O.V: continuation..]

Everyone on that table looked at us and Bright motioned us to sit with them.

"Toot!" Forth greets. He has a funny name. This must be another cousin.

Come to think of it, am i the only one here who is not a relative? Wow. Now I'm getting more anxious about my presence in this house. I mean, this is supposed to be a family gathering...why am i here?

"My favorite cousin is heeeerrree! How about a hug?" He cheered and streched his arms wide expecting Forth to hug him from across the table but Forth just laughed.

Forth seemed to be everyone's favorite.

He's also my favorite boyfriend.

Just kidding. Kekeke

"Stop invading his personal space, Toot!" Knot says, fanning away his hands.

"Tell him to stop invading everybody's personal space." Someone from the twins said.

"Oh shut up. Anyways, who is your friend here?" He eyes me curiously. What now? Does he have telepathic mind too? "Such an eye candy.." I blinked dumbly at the remark and Forth and Knot chuckles.

"Don't even think about it." Knot smirks.

Forth introduced me to Toota then not long after, one of their friend arrived back from the kitchen with an ice bucket. I realize I'm not the only person in here who is not a blood relative. Another introduction and i learned that his name is Prem. He sat at the right side of Knot, i was on Knot's left side. Forth was on my left, then Bright was on his left, then Toota then Pick.

It was nice being included in their conversations even if i don't understand most of it because it was about Sotus System. We don't have that kind of hazing in our faculty and thank goodness we don't. Imagine me under the sun doing things that make your legs burn and make your body sweaty and smelly. No.

Forth didn't let me have too much to drink and besides, i don't want to drink too much either because i know what alcohol does to me and i don't really like it because nasty things happen after that and the worst part is i don't really remember anything after that but oftentimes, that doesn't stop me. Except only for this time because i don't want to humiliate myself while I'm staying under this roof. I need to behave.

"—totalled the car! Mae almost buried me alive! Even the look in her eyes could turn me into stone. Medusa would have been proud." i heard Toota say as i went back to myself after zoning out. He was dramatically fluttering his hands.

"That was a pretty good idea, i wonder why Auntie didn't do it. I could have helped her. You would have been a really nice gargoyle." Bright mused and Toota glowered at him.

"Eh. Being buried alive is no fun." Prem says after chugging in his can of beer. "I'll tell Auntie to send you to the camp for military training." They all grinned after that.

"Military training?! Are you crazy? I can't leave my boyfriends!" Toota yelled almost dramatically, it's like he can't even imagine himself being in a military uniform, i can't either. Pick snorted.

"Boyfriend..ss? You mean you got more than one?" Pick says not looking so amused.

"Is there a problem?" Toota glares. These bunch of cousins are mean to each other but they don't get into a fight. This must be how cousins are. I wouldn't know. Both my parents are the only children in their family so i don't have cousins or even a sibling. But i have Pha and Kit and they come close to being my brothers so maybe that's quite the same.

"Oh look at that. Love really is blind."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Toota glowers after hitting Bright on the back of his head. Bright chucked a beer cap back at him.
