Chapter 5: Missing Out

The day had gone by as usual, elimination; where Liy was eliminated. Her disclosure was full of threats and threatening gestures, which had you wonder: What was Liy a switch for?

Pushing all thoughts aside, you waited patiently for the contest to start, beside Match and the Third Wheel gang.

Match started you when she screamed. "OMG! (Y/N), what is that?!" She thrust a finger at the bite mark on your neck.

You flushed; You had completely forgotten about that, as well as covering it up.

"I'm... I-I don't know." You lied. Match only snickered in response.

"It's from Four, like, isn't it?" She teased.

You stuttered, trying to explain yourself, but ended up giving up, and hanging your head in shame.

"Girl, like, don't worry. This is exactly what we've been going for!" She spiraled.

You let out a relieved sigh.

"But don't worry, I won't tell anyone." She winked.

"The contest is to fly your team's plane as long as possible!" Four announced. "The first team to hit the ground is up for elimination!"

Your team was suddenly seated in a paper airplane. Then, X walked over to your team.

"Um...(Y/N), you have to sit this challenge out," X said.

You raised an eyebrow at this, "Oh? Um...ok." You awkwardly shifted yourself out of the paper airplane and steadily onto the ground.

X then led you over to Four. He smirked at you and then turned to a large rectangle behind the planes.

"Ready, set...GO!" He exclaimed, an evil grin plastered on his face as he pushed it. It sent all the planes of the cliff they were placed by.

He then turned to you, then slid his hand into yours and intertwined them. You blushed.

"Four?" He shifted his gaze to you. "Why did I have to sit out for this challenge?" You demanded.

He fully turned to you, "I'm only keeping my promise. You could get hurt."

You sighed. "But-"

"No!" He said sternly.

You retracted back, a sad look on your face. "Fine..." You turned to face the ground.

He felt a stab of guilt, missing that feeling he gets when you smile.

You gazed up at the stars, the pale moonlight hitting your face. Four had invited you to sleep with him again, you agreed, but you asked for some alone time before.

You heard the grass shifting, and you glanced over your shoulder to see Flower.

"Hey." You mumbled. Flower took a seat on the grass next to you and stared off the cliff.

She turned slightly to you. "(Y/N)? Why did you have to sit that challenge out?" She asked.

"Oh...erm..." You murmured. "He said it would be dangerous for me to partake in that contest..." You sighed. She looked confused.

"But, isn't that what you wanted?"

You thought for a moment, "Not really..." your eyes met the grass beneath you. "It takes the fun out of the contest...I am not really that used to all this kindness.."

Flower grunted with amusement. "Everyone's changing...huh?"

You smiled at her. "Yeah." You agreed.

The moon gave the only light source, as the wind sent chills up you guys' spines, and made the millions of blades of grass dance. You both sat in silence, enjoying the presence of one another.

"It's way better this way." Flower said, almost repeating your thoughts.

You hummed, nodding your head in approval.

She leaned against the tree trunk that sat behind you both.

You shoved your hands into your pockets, and let Flower know that you were going to bed. She nodded in response, only tearing her gaze away from the view up front.

Smiling to yourself, you headed over to the stretch of the competition grounds, and just over the edge, you found Four and X's house. You sifted through your pockets, eventually feeling the key hidden away in your pocket. Pushing the key inside the lock; a perfect fit, and turned it, hearing a click. Then, you pushed the door gently, carefully to not disturb Four and X if they were sleeping.

You shut it and locked it behind you, and felt your way up the stairs in the darkness. But, a hand grabbed you by the wrist and dragged you up the stairs. You squeaked and stumbled with the speed of the hand that had captured your wrist.

When you got to the familiar room, it revealed that the hand belonged to none other than Four. His unrealistically outstretched arm popped back into place and beckoned you to lay in bed with him with one of his fingers. You smiled to yourself and staggered to your side of the bed, lying down beside him.

You allowed yourself to sleep and looked back on the fun times that you had today, besides your mishap with Four and the contest.
