"How the f--" Mask starts but stops when Skull elbows him hard in the side. "OW!"
"YOU'RE ASKING THAT!?" I shout at Mask, anger clear in my voice. "Why the hell do I have to be BAIT for you guys to paint?" I ask, crossing my arms.
"Oh, come on, Aloha. You don't stay mad for more than about ten minutes so it's not even worth getting mad over it. Besides you managed to run away from them, why are you so mad?" Skull asks, turning to me, pulling Mask away a few feet.
"Why am I mad?" I ask, letting my arms drop to my sides. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" I screamed at him. "UGH!" I glare at Skull who just shrugs. "YOU ARE INFURIATING."
"Calm down, Aloha. You did good out there and besides we won, you shouldn't be mad. Why not go plan a party with Team Pink or something...?" Army asks, grabbing my shoulder. I turn to face him, my face softening. He suddenly backs up, pulling away from me. I quickly turn away from him, back to Skull and Mask.
"Sure, whatever," I mumbled, walking up to Team Pink.
"Good job, Aloha! That was crazy! You were the center of attention!" Octo yelps, jumping up and down in celebration.
"No, I was bait for them," I say, sourly.
"Okay? So? You still showed them up. What did they do? Just get hit? You didn't get hit until last second so the enemy team couldn't do anything! That's great!" Diver (Snorkel) said, punching my shoulder lightly.
"Yeah, I guess so, but it was all luck. That's it. That's the only reason and that Army was with me. If Army hadn't been with me I would've been hit sooner. He took the hits," I admit.
"Oh, well! Shall we throw a party~?!" Straw asks, interrupting our conversation.
"Uh, sure. We can, yeah," I smile at them and we walk away. I could feel someone watching me. I didn't know who...I turned around to see who it was, stopping where I was.
"Aloha?" Diver turns to me. "You good?" He asks. I turn away, to him, nodding.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go~!" I chirp, rushing up to them.
"First you need to get changed, you are kinda filthy. She hit you as the match ended, wow, so unfortunate for her. She really wanted to get you, L-O-L!" Octo points out, giggling into her hand. I sigh and look down at my shirt, it was covered in black paint. I smile at Octo.
"You're right, this is no party shirt."
---Army POV---
I watched Aloha walk over to his team. Why was I staring? I don't know, it's just...him. I didn't really understand it...but it was Aloha. What do I care? I snapped silently at myself. ...Everything. I need to talk to him about this before it kills me. I should not be acting like this. He suddenly stops and I look away but from the corner of my eye I saw his eyes land on me. My heart fluttered, and I mentally cursed myself. "Sir?" Forge asks, I turn to her, happy for an excuse.
---Skull POV---
I steered Mask away from Army. "I need to talk to you," I said, waiting until we were alone.
"You notice it too, don't you?" Mask asks me before I can say anything.
"Huh?" I ask.
"Them." Mask says, nodding to the door we just went through.
"Oh, Army and Aloha? Yeah, I do. I was going to talk to you about it," I admit, sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head slightly before letting my hand drop.
