Friends With Benefits

Flirting, I Guess

   The room came to a halt, the music, the dancing, and even the cute muffled chuckles from Thomas. Then suddenly Thomas stood up and sprinted toward the stage. As Virgil was about to step off of the stage Thomas lept and met him with a warm embrace, to which Patton added on to. Virgil looked surprised and worried, as per usual, but it watered down to a smirk and a slight rosy tint in his cheeks.

"O-M-Jeepers you guys," Thomas voiced, still squeezing Virgil and Patton, "that was amazing! I didn't even know you could do that Virg!"

Virgil slipped out of the hug and put his hands in his pockets bashfully and spoke sarcastically, "I mean... We can do what you do... stupid."

"It doesn't matter who can do what! You two danced fantastically." Thomas cheered, finally loosening from the neverending hug cycle he and Patton were in.

"I feel like fuzz, but like fluffy fuzz, like a carpet! Or maybe snow!" Patton gasped. "Carpet angels!" Patton fell to the ground and laughed while feeling his limbs across the carpet.

That's it. I couldn't resist it. I've been serious and quiet and shy this whole time. There's no way I'm passing this up. I got up from my chair and dropped flat next to Patton.

"Carpet angels!" I chuckled waving my limbs around on the ground of Thomas's living room.

Thomas looked at Logan and Virgil with a joyous flame in his eye and, before speaking, collapsed as well.

"Dude, do you even know how long it's been since you've vacuumed that carpet?" Virgil questioned.

Thomas could barely say anything through his laughter. "N-N-No!"

"It's been a month," Logan sighed with a chart in his hands. "I figured you would be down there with them though, Roman."

"I totally would but I just remembered that lollipop that we might've lost in the carpet." Roman said.

Just as Roman said that I sat up and felt something in my hair. I chuckled and said, "I think I found it, guys."

I tried to reach back to rip off the remnants of a lollipop, but before I could I was interrupted.

"I've got it!" Thomas said behind me. He ripped it off quickly.

I yelped.

"Oh I didn't-did I hurt you?"

I turned around kneeling in front of him. I was just a little shorter than him, and his eyes were so beautiful. This would be SUCH a good opportunity to flirt or make some sort of move! Maybe I could say something witty, or funny? Maybe blush-inducing! Um... just say something!

"I'd give you a dollar if you licked it."

Idiot. Idiot. Stupid idiot. What kind of flirting is that?! It's not!

"Only if you lick it after!" Thomas proclaimed.

What.

"Deal!" I shouted, again, without thinking.

I don't know what I just did, but it worked! I think. Still kind of gross, but I'll take it.
