Milkshake Hearts

Chapter 20: Shirtless

A/N: This and the next few chapters are probably the most explicit this fic is going to get in this particular book. There is no active sexual activity, but there's some pretty explicit references to sexual acts, so heads up for that.

Also this is completely fiction please do not leave comments trying to link anything in this chapter to the people it draws on as character inspiration because it is not them

Olivia has her turn, next, leaving Courtney to go up last. Ian wanders out first in Courtney's turn on the hot seat, also shirtless, making out with the excessively long-tongued mannequin. She laughs, kicks him in the shin, and hopes he's just being a dick and not doing anything intentionally.

"Hello, Courtney, I am your biggest-" Damien starts – also shirtless – "stalker, because he stole my fan" he finishes, pointing at Shayne, appearing behind her fanning himself. She rolls her eyes, looking back at Damien.

"Can I take you on a date, and by which I mean the preserved fruit but giant and it flies?" he finishes, and she laughs, giving Damien the success.

"Please god let Olivia's bit not feature any partial nudity," she jokes, before taking another mouthful of water. To her credit, Olivia's bit is in character – super weird – and fully clothed in an orange prison jumpsuit, and Courtney laughs out of incredulity as much as humour.

"Okay, so this character is... me, but confused, trying on hats," Shayne calls out from somewhere other than behind the screen, "you got water yet?"

Courtney manages a muffled yes through her mouthful of water, glancing around to try and find where he is.

"Oh, hey Court, is this a good time-" he walks in from in front of her near the camera, wearing nothing but his actual underwear, holding a cowboy hat in front of his crotch as he turns back to slightly face the cameras. "Oh, shit, nope, bad time," He adds, angling back to face her, lifting the cowboy hat away from his crotch and tipping the hat on his head as she spits the water directly at his chest. She can't help but glance down, but she hopes the whole water spitting thing hides it.

"What the fuck, Shayne," she laughs.

"You spat all over me!" he shoots back, incredulous, and she grins as he sets the cowboy hat back in place and walks back off the stage.

"What did you expect?!" she calls after him. "I know I said you being shirtless isn't going to make me laugh any more, but that doesn't mean take even more off, okay?"

"Still shirtless, Shayne?" Ian points out, as they all gather together again for the outro.

"I made a choice and I'm sticking with it," he defends, "also she still has my shirt." He gestures towards Courtney, who pointedly grins before continuing with the end card outro.

"What actually was that last joke?" Ian laughs, after the camera cuts, and Shayne shrugs.

"It's a choose your own implication joke, in my mind it was genuinely about hat shopping," he defends.

"Sure it was," Damien laughs, "you two are being so intense today."

"Oops," Courtney shrugs, laughing it off.

"Yeah, do we need to reshoot anything in case you turn around and regret getting like that in front of the cameras?" Ian asks, raising an eyebrow, but Shayne shakes his head.

"Nah, it's chill. We discussed beforehand, it's just implication and silliness, playing it up a little on purpose," he replies, Courtney nodding.

"It's not like us all flashing each other and getting down to underwear isn't something that we've done in the past. I know it is a little more pointed given everyone knows we're together, but still. If you want us to tone it down we can, though," Courtney supplies, but Ian shakes his head.
