"Video games?" I asked.

Jax nodded. "Me and Killian are about to play some if you want to join. You might want to put some pants on first though."

My eyes widened. "I am! Look." I pulled up my long tee revealing my black compression shorts underneath. Not even a second later, Killian ripped my tee from my grasp tugging it back down from behind me.

"Hey!" I growled, glaring back at him.

"Stop showing him." He hissed.

"Showing him what? That I'm clothed?"

"No offense Eris but you just revealed to me a lot of leg that only Killian should see." Jax said, laughing lightly.

I felt my cheeks growing red from embarrassment and I shifted uncomfortably before Jax continued.

"Anyway, c'mon lets play Smash Bros."

He walked passed us and into Killians room, grabbing two controllers from on top of his dresser. We followed him inside and Killian took a seat on his bed, Jax following pursuit.

I climbed on the bed behind Killian and laid back on the pillows, putting my feet on either side of him. Jax turned on the game and I watched as they battled it out for the win. After a few minutes, I grew bored and sat up, peering over their shoulders at the TV.

Then, my eyes wandered to the black curls that sat on top of Killian's head in a quiff. I was tempted to reach out and touch them but was afraid of how he would react. To test the waters, I scooted closer to him, so that my front was just inches away from his back and reached a finger up to tug at a curl. Killian looked back at me for a second, his glance curious before turning back to the game. He had been winning for a while now and was pretty much cruising at this point.

I tugged on another curl, twisting it loosely around my finger before letting it go and watching it spring back into place. I got no reaction to that, so I decided it was safe to freely play with his hair to rid myself of my boredom.

I gently ran my fingers through his scalp, enjoying the feeling of his soft locks on my skin. Every once in a while Jax would curse in frustration when he lost and I would laugh, causing Killian's focus to break and for him to momentarily look back. The minutes were passing by slowly and I was drowsily braiding a few pieces of Killian's hair when he finally spoke.

"Eris, stop." He mumbled quietly, vigorously pressing the buttons on his controller.

"Sorry." I replied, moving to scoot back.

At my retreat, Killian turned the front of his body around and grabbed my thighs, pulling me back into place.

I blinked, slightly confused as he looked me over in approval at our proximity.

I was still for a few moments, unsure of what to do before deciding on laying back to see if I could take a little nap. My eyes flicked up to the ceiling, scanning over the crystal chandelier before finally closing and allowing darkness to overtake me.

After a few minutes, I was struggling to keep myself awake, but gave up to the pull that lulled me to sleep.

...

I was awoken by the sound of voices.

"Dude come on, just do it!" Jax whispered.

"Can you go away? Leave her alone." Killian growled.

"But it's just a prank? She probably won't even get mad. Just draw something in her face and see how long it takes for her to notice when she wakes up."
