You enter the living room, only to hear cheers. You laugh at the scene before you. Sal and Selene are on the floor, holding each a Switch controller as they maul each other on Super Smash Bros. You chuckle, leaning on the doorway, "Mom said that dinner's almost ready."

"Can't wait to eat!" Liam says to you, then turning to go cheer for Selene. "Come on, Selly, beat that chav!"

You sit beside Gab on the couch, his arms crossed. You put an arm on his shoulder, letting it rest there.

"I don't know what the hell they're doing." He tells you with a huff. He points at Sal and Selene on the floor, whining, "I can see them playing on controllers but I don't know what's on the TV."

"Aww, that's a bummer." You slides your hand off his shoulder, placing it by his waist as you try to ease his annoyance. "I'm sorry, we should have remembered."

"What happened with Gab?" Liam asks, leaning back on the couch as he sees you and the blind guy cuddling.

"He can't see what's on the TV." You say, ruffling the boy's hair. Liam gives you a confused look, and you grin, "It's better if Gab explains."

"Well, Liam my boy, let me tell you something about myself." Gab lets go of you, now facing the green haired boy.

You chuckle, standing up from the couch and heading back to the kitchen. Your eyes widen, seeing Larry speaking with Mina. You slowly go back out, hitting someone. You turn around, seeing Todd. You let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Wow, sorry Todd."

"It's fine, Y/N, but I wonder what they're talking about?"He says, knowing that both of you don't know the answer. You just shrug at him, getting back to the living room to see what Ash has taken Sal's place on the floor.

"What happened here?" You ask them, leaning down on the couch as you get behind them.

"It's a change the loser game, I lost against Selly." Sal says, crossing his arms to his chest. If you could guess by his body language, he was probably pouting behind that mask. "She's hella good."

"Really good!" Ash exclaims, frantically mashing the buttons on the controller. "Calm down, would ya?"

"Sorry Ash!" Selene giggles, seemingly calm as she press the buttons of her controller. "I'm just playing to win."

"Shut up, Selly, I'm trying to beat you!"

"Sorry to proclaim, kids, but it's time to eat!" Larry shouts from the hallway. "Mama Mina's gonna get mad."

Selene pauses the game, giggling at Ash, "I guess we're going to continue this later?"

"I'll beat your ass Selly, you'll see." Ash playfully grumbles, ruffling her hair. You all get into the kitchen, suddenly realising how big Mina's house is when you see that all of you managed to fit. You get a plate for yourself, helping youself for some mac 'n cheese, mashed potatoes, and pizza. You'll get some nuggets later.

"Guys, you know we have been friends for quite a while.." Mina speaks up, shyly if you would add. You all watch her, causing her to be more bashful, "Well, I am.. going to.."

"Going to what?" Sal asks, causing Larry to hit him upside the head. Sal glances at Mina apologetically, he wasn't able to shut his blunt self any faster.

"Err.. please do not freak out, okay?" She says nervously, as she reaches up and pulls down her mask. You frown a bit, seeing scars stretching the sides of her lips.

"That's why you wear a mask.." Liam frowns, putting down his plate and hugging the girl. "What happened to you, deary?"

"Some nanny I had back in Japan, we did not know she was crazy and, well," She points at her lips. She smiles, the first time you've seen her do so without her mask. "I hope you do not find me disgusting."

"I can't fucking see, but you're beautiful, Minako." Gab snorts, eating his mac n cheese.

"Nope, definitely not disgusting!" Larry grins at her. You look at Todd, who gives you a knowing nod. You snicker about this, taking a bite of your nugget.

"I'm more disgusting." Sal says, snorting. You watch as food disappears from under his mask, making you laugh. "You look fine, Mina."

"Pshh, you look fine Sal, shut up." You tease, causing all of you to laugh. He gives you a pointed look, and you only shrug. "It's the truth, buddy."

"Sure it is." He says in a sarcastic tone, and you only laugh at him. You spend the rest of dinner chatting, making jokes, and doing what friends do; roast each other.

After everyone has gotten their fill, you help Mina with cleaning the kitchen up, washing the dishes and making everything clean. You could say you did your best.

"Well, the kitchen's clean now." Selene says, putting a rag down after she wiped the counter tops. "Come on Ash, I want to fight you again!"

"You wanna go?!" Ash exclaims, pulling the girl to the living room. "Let's go!"

You laugh as you follow after them, shutting the kitchen lights off. You jump on the couch, perfectly landing your body on Gab's, Liam's, and Sal's laps. They groan in pain, giving you glares. You only grin at them, getting off their laps and sitting in between Liam and Sal. You watch Ash and Selene fight, with Gab being his huffy self again.

"You guys suck." He whines, crossing his arms. "I can't see anything aside from Ash and Selene wanting to kill each other at this point."

"We really don't." Selene says, strangely calm as she finally beats Ash. She throws her arms in the air, cheering, "Yay! I won!"

"Fuckin' lost." Ash grumbles, handing the controller to Larry. "Your turn, Pinocchio."

"Stop calling me that." He groans, taking Ash's place on the floor and cracking his knuckles, "Alright Selly, prepare to get your ass beat."

You turn to Mina, who's enjoying the night as she freely smiles without her mask. You hug your knees to your chest, watching Larry shout out battle cries as he uses Yoshi to fight off Selly's Isabelle.

"Who's next after Larry?" You ask, looking around you. You see Todd raise a hand, smiling a bit.

"I've been wanting to play Super Smash Bros, and let's see if I can beat Selene." He tells you guys, pretending to crack his knuckles as he even makes sound effects.

"Selly beat my ass to the ground." Sal grumbles, having a canned soft drink in his hand. It has a straw so he can still drink from under his mask. You smile at this, seeing the way he sulks. You wonder why he's such a broody person, but you don't think about it any longer than you should.

"She just learned how to play earlier when Liam showed her how." Mina giggles, seeing Liam pout at her statement. "He beat her the first time, and she started winning the next few rounds. Even I got beat."

"Damn, no one mess with Selene when it comes to video games." Ash laughs, ruffling the girl's hair. "Go Selly! Beat Larry's ass!"

"Shut up, Ash, I thought you were on my side!" Larry whines, making his character run away from Selene's Isabelle. "Win, Yoshi, I believe in you, dude!"

In the end, Larry sulks as he hands the controller to Todd, crossing his arms like a child.

"I did my best!" He moans in exaggeration, hugging Sal's legs, "Comfort me, Sally Face!"

"You fucking lost, Larry Face, I press F to you." Sal snickers, patting Larry's head. 

"Poor Larry, lost to the sweet Selly."

"Shut up Sal, you lost also."

"I admit defeat, you're just a sore loser, Larry Face."

"NO YOU'RE A SORE LOSER!"

You laugh, shaking your head at them, "Children, please."
