Enter If You Dare.

10.

**Luca's Pov.**

We both stood there staring at each other.
What was he doing here?
Why was he trying to work here?
To upset everyone?
To laugh at us?
I could feel the anger trying to boil inside of me.
Sly's expression was blank so it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"Excuse me." I said turning away from him now to leave the break room.
"Luca wait-" He said grabbing my wrist.
"Let go." I hissed before my eyes widened seeing Snake ripping Sly away from me and pinning the other to the wall.
Snake smirked at him.
"Whatcha doing here pal? Besides making Luca here uncomfortable." He said.
Sly frowned deeply.
"I was needing to talk to Luca." He told him now.

Snake frowned deeply at him.
"You hurt him last time, are you sure you want to take that road again?" He questioned the other.
Sly's eyes pierced into the others as Snake did the same.
They were both reading each other just based on expressions.
"I'm not here to hurt him again, I just want to talk.. there's a lot of things I need to clear up, I've had eight months to think it through, so please." Sly's brows furrowed.
"Let me talk to him." He said now.

Snake glanced to me with a frown.
"What do you say Luca, do you want to talk to this guy?" He asked with this unsure tone.
Taking in a breath I nodded.
"Lets talk, Sly." I told him.
Sly looked relieved as Snake shoved him harder into the wall.
"Don't fuck up, I'd hate to bash your face in. High blood or not." He warned walking over to me.
"I'll let Chrys know it'll be a bit, take your time." He said before vanishing out of the break room.

I swallowed before looking to Sly with crossed arms.
"Lets talk." I told him.
Sly frowned.
"Can we go somewhere more private?" He asked.
Arching a brow at him I nodded.
"Yeah, there's a resting room near the lab. Come on." I said leading the other out.
Sly nodded following me without saying anything else until we got there.

I took a seat on the twin bed inside before patting a spot next to me for him to join.
Sly looked hesitant but sat next to me anyway.

"You're a lot more comfortable, just whats happened in these last eight months I've been away?" He asked with a daring smirk.
I rolled my eyes with a soft smile of my own.
"A lot, living with Chrys.. you have no choice but to be comfortable and weird, or else you'll miss movie night.. which is kind of crappy to miss." I said now.
Sly arched a brow at me looking more amused.
"Miss movie night? What is that, a way to ground you?" He asked with a laugh.

Bringing my knees to my chest I smiled more now.
"It kind of is, she goes on about how offended she is to be my friend then grounds me. Of course, she's playing the whole time, but to humor her I'll stay locked up in my room while our friends are there and act grounded.. and then Rosie hits Chrys each time it happens, and demands me to join them." I said with a smile.

Sly smiled now.
"I really did misjudge your friends.. and I'm sorry about the way I was back then." He said.
I looked to him with more focus now.
"Alright, your turn. What happened at the camp? And why did you vanish?" I asked him with knitted brows.

Sly looked away for a minute as if thinking over what to say to me.
"At the camp.. I was jealous, this is going to sound weird but I could smell that guy Styx's scent all over you.. and it really bothered me." He began as my face grew red now remembering why Styx's scent was all over me.
"Sly I-"
"No, its fine. Trust me." He laughed shaking his head.
"You were so shy around me when you two returned from the lake, and I knew something had happened. You don't hide guilt well and it was obvious you two messed around or something, but I let it go until that guy looked our way and said something to your friend Snake.. and then I lost my cool and took it out on Chrys by calling her out." Sly rubbed the side of his neck as if this was embarrassing him.
"I guess I was trying to impress you in the wrong way and it completely blew up in my face... and when you ran off, it killed me.. I wanted to chase after you and not let go but when you hit me... I knew I seriously fucked up, I knew I wasn't being cool. I was being a huge jerk who should of acted better than how I performed." He murmured.

"After that night, I left the town and went to Italy to try to cool my head.. I ended up running into some pretty close people and just stayed there, I really missed you and they helped me open up and to stop acting like some serious stick in the mud.. I was only trying to impress you, but I let my ranking get to my head and I wanted no one else in the picture but us, and only us." He confessed.

I sat in front of him now with crossed legs with furrowed brows, my cheeks were completely flushed and my eyes were burning from how embarrassing this guy really was.

"And you came back to California for what..?" I found myself asking.
Sly smirked before looking around in the empty room.
"Why else would I be here? I came back for you, I want to make things right again and want to try to get your weird friends to like me." He said now.
I couldn't help but smile at this.
Biting my bottom lip, I nodded.
"That sounds good to me." I agreed.

Sly looked at me with hope in his eyes.
"So.. you're willing to give this a second chance?" He asked me, I could hear the happiness in his voice rising.
Looking to the door then back to Sly I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm willing to give it a second chance." I told him.

Sly's eyes widened before pressing his lips to mine without warning.
But I didn't push him away.
I smiled into the kiss as I wrapped my arms around the other.
"Thank God, I rehearsed that whole thing." He teased as I looked at him with a raised brow.
"Really?" I asked.
He smirked.
"No." He grinned cheeky kissing me again.

We both tensed hearing someone knocking on the door.
Soon enough it opened to reveal a rather amused Snake and Deja.
"Are you two done being gay for each other? Chrys is demanding for her baby duckling to be returned to her, in like the next five minutes." He said.
