24 Hours GF Challenge (Granevere AU)

Chapter Twenty-Two

"Man! Where the hell were you last night?" Claude walked towards Granger, who was still in last night's clothes.

Granger immediately hugged the quirky boy. Claude let out a loud yelp at the sheer force of the hug. It was like his wind pipe was being flattened. "Thank you so much, Claude."

He finally let go only to see Claude's triumphant smirk. "Last night, you and Guin? Damn that was quick!"

"Oi! Nothing of that sort happened!" Granger glowered dangerously at Claude, his eyes turning into snake-like slits. "We just hung out together with Kimmy."

"So you had a girl's sleepover?" Claude questioned. "Did you paint each other's nails or something?"

Granger raised his hands, revealing the handiwork of the two girls. He remembered vividly on how they roasted the daylights off of his nails. They said his cuticles looked dry and ugly.

"You really had a girly sleepover." Gusion entered the conversation upon seeing Granger's violet nails. "I mean, they're better than before. Much cleaner."

"Dude, you make it sound like I don't wash my hands." Granger retorted. "Where's everyone? I'm hungry."

"They're planning to have breakfast by the beach. That's why were all in swimwear." Gusion pointed towards their beach ready outfits. Claude was wearing a button up shirt fully opened.

"Why'd you even wear a shirt if you're just going to leave it open?" Granger grimaced. "Straight boys are so weird." He recalled Kimmy's quote.

"Just go and get fucking changed." Claude gave him a middle finger as he mockingly laughed at him. He went into their suite and changed into some beach appropriate clothes.

He decided to freshen up and brush his teeth, revealing his pearly whites. Suffering through years of braces was worth it to have perfect teeth. Rummaging through the drawers, he fixed his hairs and applied some deodorant and perfume.

Gusion was clearly rubbing off of him since he now regularly rubbed chapstick on his dry lips, making them soft and kissable.

"For Linguine only." He mumbled, referring to his lips.

After all this, he walked out the suite wearing some gray beach shorts and a black muscle tee. He wore his black slides and sunglasses.

"Why would you wear a shirt, if it barely covers you?" Claude mocked him as the opening of his muscle tee went down to his waist, exposing his arms and torso. "Straight boys are so weird."

"Have you been working out, Grangey?" Chou pretended to flirt with him. "Your muscles look so big!"

"Shut up, Chou. As if you can't choke a man with your bare arms."

"Aw, Grangy-poo. I'm so happy you noticed!" Chou gave Granger some kissy faces that the latter swatted out. Eventually, this lead to Granger accidentally slapping his face.

"That's what you get." Granger looked at their group and wondered. "Where's Alu and Lesley anyway?"

"They volunteered to set up the decorations." Gusion replied. "Honestly, Alu just volunteed to hit on Miya."

"Damn! Miya is a stunner. I'm sure Alu can charm her though." Chou commented. "Alucard, the harem king."

They all bursted out in boisterous laughter, garnering many odd looks from the older people. Not that they cared. All that matters is that he's back with the boys and they're not roasting the hell out of his newly painted nails.

Meanwhile, Miya and some employees were busy setting up the decorations by the beach. The beach looked pristine and shining in a turquoise hue that reminded Guinevere of Gatorade. The clouds parted to make way for the brilliant sun to shine warmly upon them all. While the cool sea breeze comforted their burning skin.
