"MAMA DER IS' VON TIKTOK"

"Mom, that guy's from Tiktok"

_______________

Jacob and you walk ahead, packed with your bathing things, into the elevator and Bene and Tim drag the now almost empty beer crate behind. You still have wet hair, smell of beer and sea salt, none of you have really put any clothes on and there is still music playing softly from the bluetooth box in Benes backpack.

To put it briefly: it can't get more German than that.

"Whoa, I'm feeling drunk already", you comment, overwhelmed, and lean the back of your head against the cool metal of the elevator cab, "And it's only five PM" "You only drank two beers", Bene comments, amused and you examine his reflection in the mirror. "So what?", You defend yourself, "Two beers are enough"

"I swear after this vacation...", Tim murmurs exhausted, "Imma need a vacation from the vacation"

The elevator rings on your floor and you stumble out a bit and make your way to your rooms. "See you in two hours, right?" Tim asks you and you nod and give him a thumbs up. You've all decided to take a little rest before you get ready for dinner and meet again in the hallway.

"Ok, I desperately need a shower first", you sigh and rummage in your duffel bag for a moment. You still have salt on your skin and the feeling that despite all that swimming in the sea, there is still beer stuck in your hair. "You wanna go alone?", You hear Jacob ask and give him a look, "Or..." he looks at you questioningly and you can't help but smirk "You're welcome to join me". Jacob returns your grin.

Your reflection is looking back at you in the bathroom. You have definitely gotten a bit of a tan by now and your cheeks are slightly red from the sun. Your gaze falls on your wild hair and you curse a little when you reach for your hairbrush on the sink to first do some damage control.

Jacob appears behind you in the mirror and watches you with interest before he runs a hand through his own dark hair and combs it through. When you finally put the brush away and comb your hair over one shoulder, you suddenly feel him in your back and his arms wrap around your waist from behind. You smile sheepishly, put your hand on his arm and lean into him. Your gaze meets your reflection and you examine both of you as you stand there embraced, half-naked and with wet hair. For the first time, you see the both of you from an outsider's perspective and it kind of makes you happy.

Visually, you would indeed look really good together.

His reflection casts you a look and smiles before he lets you go a bit to play with the tie on your neck. He pulls the string and slowly opens your bikini top and you take a breath and let him do it. He frees you completely from the top and lets it fall to the side as he kisses your shoulder and wraps his arms around you again until one arm covers your breasts protectively and his hand grabs you there courageously. You sigh, sheepish, and enjoy the feeling of his strong arms holding you tight and he smiles enamored when he looks at your reflection.

"What are you thinking about?", He asks you curiously and you tilt your head as you breathe deeply under his touch, "I don't know, I just feel... comfortable, kinda." He raises his eyebrows and smiles in surprise. "Yeah?" "Mhm."

"Do you feel comfortable with me?" He asks you examiningly and you nod. He smiles warmly and kisses your shoulder. "That's good", he breathes into your ear. You smile, embarrassed, "Yeah that and... a bit horny maybe"

You can feel him laughing softly. "I can help with that too, I think." "Oh?", You breathe aroused and giggle. "Mhm", you feel his lips under your ear and how he embraces you even tighter and this tingling feeling is there again immediately.

Fuck.

You look at your reflection in the mirror.

Damn, that girl is lucky right now.

"Go ahead", he directs you towards the shower, "I'll be right there in a second"

"Jacob?", You ask him relaxed, as you lie in bed  freshly showered and only in your underwear, dozing before you have to get ready for dinner. You have set an alarm on your phone in case you fall asleep and just enjoy the feeling of physical closeness to him. Your bodies are relaxed and not quite as hormone-driven anymore after you've helped each other out in the shower.

"Hm?", The dark-haired breathes above your hairline. "Thank you" "...For what?", He asks and you hear the amused tone in his voice. "I don't know", you smile thoughtfully, "For the fact that I'm now not quite as horny anymore" You can feel him laughing softly and then how he lifts up a little under you.

"Look at me, please", he breathes and you turn around in his arm so that you can lie on your stomach and look at him. He smiles as he examines you carefully and brushes your wet hair from your face, "I don't know how things were like in your last relationship but... you don't have to thank me for something like that. That's part of the deal for me." You smile sheepishly and play with the chain around his neck "Well, I really don't wanna overtext you with details from my last relationship. But it wasn't quite the matter of course for me." "Really?", He asks you, a little surprised and you shake your head honestly, before you evade his searching gaze a little embarrassed and lower your head on his chest.

You feel a little vulnerable about admitting this. But, in fact, you've rarely made it your priority to have your own fun having sex. And it wasn't necessarily seen as a priority by your ex, either.

"Hey," he breathes caringly and you feel his hand on your cheek and look at him again somewhat hesitantly. "Your needs are every bit as important as your partners. Never think anything else." You are a little surprised at his wording.

Is that what you are now as well? Partners? Something like a couple? Or does he just mean that in general? Oh well. Partners can mean a lot of different things.

"I'm... working on it", you smile sheepishly and look down again. He smiles warmly and wraps his arms around you and you snuggle up to his chest again. His fingers gently stroke your back down and up again. "For me it goes without saying to meet your needs, too.", he repeats thoughtfully, "You don't need to say thank you for that." You feel your stomach turn and smile, embarrassed. "Okay. noted."

This time Tim and Bene are actually ready before you and knock on your room door while you're still threading earrings into your ears in the bathroom. You have decided to make yourself look really pretty this time and are wearing a new dress that you have wanted to wear all along and that makes you feel really good because it flatters your figure perfectly. In addition, you've put on a little make-up and your hair doesn't look completely wild for once.

"What's up with y'all?", You hear Benes' voice ask, "Ready or what?" "Yo come in real quick", Jacob replies.

"I'm ready in a second!" You call from the bathroom.

You check yourself again briefly in the mirror and then leave the bathroom to meet the boys.

Bene sits on the bed waiting and Tim looks up from his phone when suddenly everyone's eyes are on you. "Yoo", Tim murmurs softly and raises his eyebrows as he examines your dress.
"Well anyways...", Bene replies overwhelmed and sits up on the bed, "Hi, I'm Bene and who are you?" You grunt in amusement and reach for your wallet and cell phone.

The boys look really good too, you have to admit.

Bene wears a black button up and more jewelry than usual. A chain and even rings on his fingers.

And Tim's in almost all white with a white button up, black and white striped denim shorts and white Nikes.

And then there's Jacob, who's somehow wearing a combination of a partly unbuttoned olive-colored shirt with a white tank top underneath, a gold chain and a black beanie on his head.

You're really glad that you have decided to put a little more effort into your appearance today.

"Guys please don't hate me now", Bene says when you leave your and Jacobs room, "but... we have to take some pics in the elevator. The lighting's so nice there and we all look extremely good tonight in my opinion" You laugh, "Woah yes, we haven't taken an actual group selfie, anyway." "Exactly", Bene agrees, motivated.

"Ok, quick photo shoot and then we eat", Tim grins when he presses the elevator button. "I'm fucking starving man", Jacob murmurs impatiently and crosses his arms and you smile at his mood swings. He's been rather quiet and annoyed for the past half an hour and you didn't know this side of him yet either. Today he also seems to be a bit hangry.

One of the two elevators in the hallway opens and you look into the faces of an older couple with two children and briefly exchange looks for help when they seem to make room for you. "Ohh", Tim politely declines in English, "We take the next one. Thank you!"

They look at you a little confused and the little girl in the elevator stares up at Bene, a little awestruck and afraid. "Mama der is von Tiktok", she squeaks in German language and then seeks protection in the womans arms and you can't help but laugh when the elevator closes again before the German parents can say anything about it.

"awkward", Tim comments and you really have to laugh gleefully about the situation. "Hey", Bene pinches you in the side when the other elevator opens, which, luckily, is empty. "That's not funny at all."

"I have no idea whether the little one's a fan or just plain afraid of you", you still laugh, "which child doesn't fear them when it enters an elevator; the elevator boys"

"Shut up now", Bene smiles and pulls out his iphone as you all stand together in front of the mirror, "Y/N you have to go in the middle" "What middle", you tease Bene, "we're four" "Wow, come on", Tim murmurs in amusement and gently pushes you next to him before he leans his elbow on your shoulder and throws himself into a pose. "So, now. Cheese"

"We should set up a Whatsapp group for all the photos and videos", you suggest. "Not a stupid idea, actually", Tim replies.

"You look really pretty today Y/N", Bene says honestly, after you finally sit in a restaurant again, placed your order for food and toasted with red wine.

In your opinion, that's the best feeling.

When you've been hungry all evening and then finally sit down, not worrying about anything anymore and only having to wait until the food is brought to you.

You look over at the curly haired and return his gaze with a sheepish smile. "Thank you, Bene." "With pleasure"

You smile at his suddenly charming manner and then devote yourself back to your wine glass. Jacob, who is sitting next to you this time, just watches your interaction with amusement, drinking his wine.

Your phone lights up with a group invitation on Whatsapp and Tim puts his iPhone on the table. "Now everyone can send in their photos and videos". You smile and lift your phone from the table to unlock it.

"Seriously?" You laugh as you read the name Tim gave your group. "Elevator Boys feat. Y/N?" Tim just grins proudly at you "Fits perfectly, doesn't it?"

"I'm so full man", Jacob murmurs next to you, satisfied, holding his stomach and you turn a little to him and look at him in amusement, "You happy again now, yeah?" And he grins, embarrassed, and adjusts his beanie on his head before nodding. "Mhm"

"It was actually critical", he murmurs and takes a sip of his wine while he turns a little more towards you.

"I don't know 'bout you guys, but I think I need a workout tomorrow.", He says to the group, "Burning off some energy again would be great" You look at him contemplating.

"I'm with you, Bro", Tim nods resolutely. "For sure", Bene agrees. Jacob looks at you questioningly, "You gonna join, too?" And you shrug your shoulders. "Yeah, why not. If you borrow me sports clothes?" He smiles and his gaze wanders curiously from your lips back to your eyes. "Sure"

You just want to respond with something ironic about his big suitcase full of clothes, when you hear a clink and immediately afterwards Tim's cursing.

You look over at him, startled, when his wine glass is tipped over on the table and he sits there with the red wine bottle in his hand, startled, while his white shirt has a not necessarily small red stain.

"No", Tim murmurs, overwhelmed, and puts the bottle down and the glass upright again, "That did not just happen" Bene is already laying his napkin on the wet edge of the table to soak up the wine and prevent worse, and you quickly hand him over yours.

"Poor wine," you grimace with regret. "My poor shirt!", Tim complains and Bene just laughs. "How did you even manage to do that, dude?" Asks Jacob, amused. "No idea, man", Tim defends himself, "I just wanted to refill my glass and then I kinda knocked it over"

He looks down at himself and makes a frustrated face. "Fuck, that shirt was fucking expensive. I'll never get that stain out, will I?"

You frown, thinking. "Well, we might be able to do something about it if we soak it quick enough"

Tim looks at you hopefully, "Can you do that?"

"Mhm, maybe I can still save it", you answer honestly, "I've had to wash stains like this out of a dress before so yes, it could work."

"Woah fuck ok Y/N please help me" "Yeah but we still have to go shopping for that", you think, "Because I don't think we have these kinds of home remedies with us"

"Ok, I need a lemon. And salt", you instruct the boys when you once again end up in a shop at night that's still open.

Somehow this is becoming a routine for you.

"And maybe tequila as well, while we're at it?" Jacob asks, amused, behind you and you give him a look as he walks past you.

"No, I swear to you, lemon and salt really help fade wine stains"

"Guys do we wanna buy some champagne, too?", Jacob asks again as he wanders off in another direction, "We can store it in the hotel fridge. Would be nice, too, for sure" You laugh because Jacob seems to be interested in anything but saving Tim's shirt. "If you still have space in the fridge", Tim comments, "ours is full of beer so..." "Yeah, I don't give a fuck I'll just buy two bottles now"

You shake your head in amusement when Jacob comes back to you with two bottles of Moët "How much does the world cost, Jacob"

Tim follows you somewhat helplessly into yours and Jacob's bathroom while the other two put all the drinks you bought for the evening in the hotel fridge and make themselves comfortable on the couch.

"Come on", you look at Tim in amusement, "take it off" He grins and unbuttons his shirt and you smile a bit embarrassed when he stands shirtless in front of you, handing the piece of clothing to you with a flirtatious look.

"Okay and now?" He looks over your shoulder when you first run warm water over the stain to wash off the worst of it. Then you take the lemon that you cut open with the plastic cutlery from the hotel room and squeeze it out over the stain before you pour salt from the pack onto it.

"Okay and now we let it absorb for a while", You think aloud and put his button up over the bathtub, "Looks much better already. And tomorrow you just hang it somewhere sunny. Sunlight helps with bleaching. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"You're really good at that", Tim smiles as he watches you. "Hm?", You sit up and look up at him, confused, "In what? Removing red wine stains from white laundry? Better wait and see if it actually works first"

"No," he replies, embarrassed and a bit amused, "You're really good at making people feel better" You hold his gaze briefly and feel the heat rise up inside you.

Admittedly, that's such a sweet compliment.

"Thanks", you smile sheepishly, "I try"

You put your hand on his bare shoulder as you walk past him and take a deep breath when you are out of the bathroom and meet Bene and Jacob again, who are chilling out on the couch.

"Hey, you have this kind of beach bag, right?" Jacob looks at you for help, "Can we use it to carry our drinks?" "Sure", you reply and take the jute bag out of your duffel bag and empty it.

Then you fill it with the two bottles of orange juice, five Red Bulls, a bottle of vodka and a stack of plastic cups that you took from the shop earlier. Plus a bottle of red wine that you felt like buying after Tim spilled what seemed like half of your dose at dinner.

"Okay folks, I'll get the weed, then we can go", Bene announces on the way out of the room. "Yeah, and I'll quickly put on a new shirt", the still half-naked Tim says goodbye to you, "later!"
