Rucas Holiday Bingo

Holidays are Fun, Except when they aren't.... Until they are again.

A/N: So, in honor of me submitting two of the four MFA applications (the next one isn't due until January 15th) I'm going to start posting these, and get back to writing. That's why I haven't posted anything, I was so stressed, I almost messed up on the application for my first choice school, but now it's done, so I can write freely. I am in the middle of writing the next chapter of To the Moon and Back, and the next one for Season 6 (which I'm planning on finishing before the end of the year), plus these holiday shorts... and one possibly long holiday story. So please enjoy as I write like a madwoman, because I have all of these things I want to do and need to finish.

Holidays are Fun, Except when they aren't.... Until they are again.

Synopsis: The group finds themselves at the Minkus' Family holiday weekend, where some plotting friends decide that they've had enough of the pining from two of their friends and create a way for them to finally tell one another how they feel.

This is for the Sharing a Bed and Pining squares on the Holiday Bingo Card

Riley found herself in a situation that she hadn't thought would be possible, she had let Lucas go when Maya had said that she had liked him, except Maya ended up with Josh and Lucas decided that it would be better for all of them if they stayed friends. So, Riley kept her secret crush on Lucas to herself, it's not like anyone noticed especially since all of her friends were in relationships. Well except for her and Lucas, but that didn't matter, they were going to hold onto their friendship and that was all that matters. Yeah, that's all that mattered. So, they remained friends, and now the group found themselves at Farkle's family cabin in the mountains for the holidays, their parents were stuck in the city but would get there just before Christmas. Plus, they were all twenty-one, and twenty-two, well with the exception of Josh who was twenty-four.

What she hadn't taken into account about the holiday vacation was the situation with the rooms, she had forgotten that her parents, along with the parents of her friends, they were limited to the rooms that they could pick. And of course, all of the couples wanted the chance to share a room for the night before their parents arrived. Which meant that the four rooms, even though some of them had two beds, others with three, were now spoken for by the three other couples, and they had all managed to give Riley and Lucas the one room with a single bed. How had that happened exactly, well....

-One Hour Ago-

"Okay," Zay said looking at the group. "The parents won't be here until tomorrow afternoon, and I want some time with my boyfriend, so I think that we should all take a room to ourselves for the night and then move into our regular rooms in the morning."

"I second this," Maya said looking at Josh with hearts in her eyes, the two had grown closer over the years, it was cute but the fact that they were deciding this at the moment made Riley wish they hadn't developed relationship brain.

"We should draw ballots or something," Farkle said to the group, who was in his own loving relationship, and made Riley wonder why she had been the only one who had missed out in all of this. Except the person she loved the most was happy just being friends and she was trapped as the seventh wheel most times because everyone else was in a relationship.

"I believe that that is a reasonable way of doing this my beloved," Smackle said smiling at Farkle, in that cutesy heart eyes way she had been doing so since middle school. "That way no one would fight over the master bedroom."

Riley couldn't believe what she was hearing, she wasn't sure of anything except for the fact that when it was her turn to draw, for some reason the universe wanted to torture her and stick her in the one bedroom in the whole place that had only one bed. When she looked around for help from her friends they just shrugged and moved on like it didn't matter that the only two people in the group that weren't in a relationship would be sharing a bed.
