Partnered Up

Chapter 7

(3rd person P.O.V.)

 

Ray's the first person to wake up, and decides Ryan should be awake as well.

 

"Pst, Rye. Dude, wake up." Ray shakes him until he's satisfied.

 

"Ray, what the hell?" He whispers seeing that everyone is still sleeping.

 

"Ugh, what time is it?" Ryan says, rubbing his eyes. Ray checks his watch.

 

"Nine fifty-two." Ryan points at a sleepy eyed Geoff. The two of them crawl over to him and in the process, also wake Jack. Ray stifles a laugh as he looks at Michael and Gavin. Everyone looks at the two, cuddled up together, fast asleep. The four of them pull out their phones and take pictures. Ray and Geoff each take a selfie with the two, then they take a group photo. 

Satisfied with the pictures, they want to wake them up, the four walk into the kitchen and position themselves so they seem hidden to the sleeping two. Ray decided to whistle and wake one of them up. It seems to be Gavin who opens his eyes first.

 

(Gavin's P.O.V.)

 

I slowly open my eyes and discover that I'm wrapped up in Michael's arms. All I can do is smile to myself, and move closer to him. It's a lovely feeling, warm, cozy, and secure. He stirs in his sleep and hugs me tighter. I close my eyes to try and fall asleep but, hear giggling...?

 

"Psst, Michael." I poke him in the check. He grumbles in return.

 

"Wake up, you silly little doughnut." This time he lazily opens his eyes and realizes what's going on. He immediately moves his arms and sits up. The guys come from the kitchen in hysterics.

 

"TEAM MAVIN!" Ray starts screaming and running in circles.

 

"Ray, what the fuck does that mean?" Michael shouts back.

 

"Well, it's a mix of both of your names. It was either Mavin or Gavichael, and Mavin is less complicated and more catchy. Like I said, TEAM MAVIN!" Ray continues to yell. I can feel my face getting warmer by the minute. Michael stands up and heads for the kitchen.

 

"DO ANY OF YOU FUCK-FACES WHAT SOME FOOD? GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" Michael 'calls' from the kitchen. I get up and quickly head towards the kitchen.

 

"Whatcha makin'?" I ask over his shoulder.

 

"Some eggs." He retorts in the same exaggerated tone as I used. The rest of the group comes in and gathers around the table, waiting for food. 

Michael brings over a pan of eggs, and scoops some on to everyone's plate. We both sit down and begin eating. The only sound heard is the scraping of forks on plates and the occasional 'delicious' from Geoff.

(Michael's P.O.V.)

 

"GAVIN YOU FUCK! I'M GOING TO THROW YOU IN THE GODDAMN POOL!" I scream at him. He bolts down the hall and down the stairs. I race after him and tackle him onto the couch.

 

"MICHAEL NO!" I scoop him up and carry him over my shoulder and outside, everyone else following.

 

"You weigh like, seven fucking pounds. God, eat a cookie." He continues to squirm and flail around in my arms, as we reach the edge of the pool.

 

"PLEASE MICHAEL!" He squeals.

 

"One....Two....Three!" I throw him as far as possible, but suddenly I'm pulled forward and into the pool. Apparently, Gavin grabbed onto my neck and decided it would be funny to pull me in as well. 

God, what am I gonna do with this idiot? An idea popped into my head,

 

"Hey, uh, Jack can you come over here for a sec?" Jack walks over to the edge and squats down.

 

"Tell Gav that I have to give him something." I smirk. Gavin gets flustered if i poke him. lets see how he reacts to this.

 

"Are you gonna punch me?" He whines.

 

"No, but I need to give you something." He swims closer, careful, in case I change my mind.

 

"Well, I know you've been looking for something, and I think I have it. Here, I'll whisper it in your ear." He walks even closer and tills his head so I can talk into his ear. He's so gullible. 

"I think, you've wanted this from the beginning, so I thought it would be fair to finally give it to you." I place my hand under his chin and turn his face towards mine. I look into his eyes and kiss him.
