You were all back on the tour bus by now, and it was on the road to your hotel. You, Sean, and Ethan were all playing road games to kill time. You'd introduced them to the Alphabet game, and had been playing that for about ten minutes. "R! Attorney!!!" You shout pointing to the sign you passed by, then moving on to look for a sign with an S. Sean called back "U! Pizza Hut!!!" While Ethan tried desperately to find a Q. Mark walks back to you three and says "Alright, while you guys were playing games I checked our rooms and told the hotel that we were on our way." You glanced back at him, and jokingly said "Glad to know one of us is responsible here." He rolled his eyes and sat down beside Ethan. The bus stops and all four of you look out the window to your hotel. "Woah..." you mutter in awe. The hotel was huge with what looked like gold and marble accents. Most likely faux, but still! It's was beautiful. You snapped out of the trance and gather up your stuff. You step off the bus and stare in awe at the hotel one more time before going in. Mark calmly says as they walk in "Oh, by the way, We're on one of the top floors and the elevator is glass." as he passes by Sean. He freezes and says "What? You're kidding right?" Mark says "Come on, it won't be that bad." as he walks towards the glass elevator. Sean hesitantly follows. Everyone knew Sean was afraid of heights, but what no one knew was that you were too. You tugged on Sean's shirt and whispered "Don't tell either of them... but I'm afraid of heights too." Sean laughs quietly and says "So we can panic together." You laugh nervously and say "Yeah... Uhm... this is embarrassing but would you mind if I held your hand again?" Sean, without laughing this time, says "Sure, if it helps you." You nod and say "Thank you." your face a little red. You both step onto the elevator and you try to discreetly grab Sean's hand. He lets you as you had agreed, and the elevator begins its ascent. Sean takes a deep breath and you squeeze your eyes shut as the glass floor (which was not 15 inches thick) rose away from the safety of the ground. As you got higher up you squeezed Sean's hand tighter and he squeezed back like he was silently telling you it would be okay. Mark and Ethan were casually chatting as the death trap you were in got higher and higher. You thought you were about to die when the elevator jerked to a stop, but as soon as the doors opened you and Sean were outta there. Ethan and Mark laughed and Ethan asked "(Y/n) do you have a fear of heights too?" You stiffened up and quickly yelled "No!" Neither Mark nor Ethan looked very convinced by this. "Yeah," Mark says "Well when you and Sean stop holding hands you can follow me to your rooms." You quickly let go of his hand and said "Sorry." before holding your arms. He laughed and said "It's fine, that's just how he is." as he followed the two others. When you all eventually came to a stop Mark handed out room keys and said "Sean and I are in 106, (Y/n) and Ethan are in 107." You nod and walk to 107, Ethan in tow. You open the door to a large room with beautiful decorations. You stared in awe one last time and Ethan laughs. "Wow, you must really like Mark's hotel choices." you cross your arms and stick out your tongue at him like a child. He rolls his eyes and puts his stuff on the bed closest to the window. He walks over and looks out "Woah... This view is amazing." There's a moment of peaceful silence, interrupted by his saying "I guess you won't wanna see this since you're afraid of heights." You huff and say "And you're afraid of peanuts." as you open your bag to get a nice set of clothes out for dinner. "I am not-" he starts, then stops and huffs. You smirk at him and say "Of course you aren't" under your breath. "I'm gonna go take a shower," You say as you walk into the bathroom. Ethan rolls his eyes and laughs a little. You hadn't known Ethan for as long as the other two, but you had for long enough to get close to him. He was cool. Even though he was kind of being an asshole right now, he was actually a sweet guy. You remember the day you went to lunch with Mark, Amy, and Ethan and gained a ton of respect for him.

(Warning: Harassment)

You were sitting at a small table with all the others all of you enjoying the ice cream you'd picked out from the shop you were sitting at. Ethan had introduced it to you that day and you were already in love with it. While Amy cheerfully chatted with the table, you excused yourself to the bathroom. After you'd found it, done whatever you needed to do, and gotten out, you found yourself face to face with a stranger. "Oh, I'm sorry," you chirped, trying to laugh it off and carry on your way, but you suddenly felt a tight grip on your wrist. "You from around here?" the stranger asked. You slowly shook your head, your eyes darting between the stranger's eyes and hand. "Shame, we need more lookers like you," the grip on your wrist growing tighter. "Please let me go," you say, trying to sound tough. "What if I don't wanna," they coo at you. You try to pull your arm away, only for them to tighten their grip even more. "C'mon, It'll be fun..." the stranger cooes again. "Let me go!" you say, a bit louder and tougher. The stranger was inching closer to you until you heard a familiar voice. "(Y/n)?"  Your head snapped in the direction o the voice, along with the creep's. Ethan stood a small distance away with a mix of confusion and concern on his face. "Ethan!" you shout. The creep loosens his grip a small bit, just enough for you to pull and rush away from them. The creep grins and says "Another person to help me," Ethan growls "Leave them alone," with a huff. "Awe c'mon," the stranger whines "Don't act like you don't want to," as they crept a step closer. Ethan did the same in the direction of the creep, only his lead to Ethan grabbing the front of the guy's shirt. "No, I don't. Ya know why? Because of this wonderful thing called self-control"  The guy seemed a bit more startled by Ethan grabbing their shirt, causing them to stutter a bit. Ethan growls "stay away from them," before turning back to you. His mood immediately changes as soon as the two of you are out of earshot of the guy. "Are you alright? What did he do? Did he hurt you? Do you need anything?" You try your best to answer all of them as he leads you back to the table. Mark and Amy both questioned the extra long pee break you'd both taken, and when you explained what happened Mark was pissed and Amy was going mama bear mode. Needless to say, you went home and the group did heir best to make you feel better.
