Chapter 6 - "Why Is Everyone So Hot?" "Global Warming"

(A/N: This was supposed to be the pride month special, but I'm sure you read the A/N before this chapter. So yeah..... sorry bout that. But it's here now! Sorry to keep you waiting! This story is on AO3 now too, if you wanna go check it out. My account is the same name.) 

(3rd person POV) *It's the only one I'm good at*

Kawaii~Chan rushed through her kitchen, setting various treats into bags and placing them in a basket while throwing any and all dishes into the sink to be washed later. She hummed softly to herself as she closed the basket, picked it up, and headed out of the kitchen.

"I'm leaving now!", she yelled over her shoulder as she grabbed the keys and opened the door. A faint 'Have fun!' Could be heard from the living room before she shut the door and struggled to find the house key one-handedly.

She sighed as she readjusted the basket in her arms. Katelyn had specifically said no magic was to be used in Operation Garrence™️. Both Lucinda and herself had objected but eventually gave in. After all, Katelyn had been dubbed captain of the "S.S. Garrence". It was only fair, seeing as no one had shipped them as long as she had. Except maybe Vylad. But Vylad wasn't here, so that didn't matter.

Aphmau had pulled some strings and managed to convince the boys to have the little get together at their house. Mainly because it would be easier to pull off their plan, but Kawaii-Chan thought that there was an ulterior motive. The only other place they could have it without kicking someone out of their house temporarily was Aphmau's house, and Kawaii-Chan had the feeling that she didn't want to clean up afterwards (or beforehand).

So as she walked down the street to her friends' house, she went over the plan in her head. It wasn't much of a plan, really. All they had to do was get the guys to flirt with each other once again and then make them realize that friends don't flirt with each other (not that Katelyn and Aph could say anything about that). It seemed simple enough.

Moments later, they were all positioned around Garroth and Laurence's living room, draped over the coffee table, the arm of the couch, or really anywhere except the couch itself (with the exception of Aphmau, who was laying down and taking up the whole thing). The bag of snacks had been unceremoniously plopped in the middle of the table, along with various drinks. Laurence was fiddling with his phone for a bit, before some random pop song started playing quietly through the speaker. He set the phone on the table and plopped down on the floor next to his roommate after snatching an apple strudel. Garroth looked at the pastry, then Laurence, then back to the pastry. The brunette snorted.

"You know there's more on the table, right?"

"But they're sooooo far away!" Garroth stretched his arms out towards the coffee table dramatically but his fingers stopped a few inches from the bag. Laurence chuffed and pushed his friend, who lazily tipped over onto his side. He turned his neck to look his offender in the eye, pouting. With a sigh, Laurence climbed over the table and grabbed another strudel, chucking it straight at Garroth's face. The blonde broke out into a grin and popped up again, nearly knocking his head into the other boy.

"Garroth, you are the laziest person I know.", Lucinda claimed from her spot on the other side of the wooden table. Katelyn snorted.

"I don't think you can talk, Lucinda. You spend most of your time sleeping." The witch responded with a squawk and a glare at the entire group, who were all giggling. Aphmau sighed from the couch and flopped onto her side to face everyone.

"So... what's first?" They exchanged glances. No one had thought this far ahead. But Nana perked up with a smile.

"Who was the first person that made you realize you weren't straight?" Everyone hummed considerately and the room was silent for a minute, with the exception of the music in the background. Katelyn answered first.
