❝ ONE INHALE AND YOU
LOSERS ARE DEAD. ❞

THE TRIO WERE HANGING OUT in eddie's room. reina laid across eddie's bed on her stomach, facing the end of the bed where eddie sat on a beanbag, playing halo.

she watched, but she occasionally went on her phone held in her right hand. connor laid down vertically on the bed, scrolling through instagram. for the past five minutes, reina was subconsciously playing with his hair, twisting his curls around her finger.

connor could've fallen asleep right then and there - and he almost did, but seeing a picture of koosh and benj at the party caused him to get up in annoyance.

"this is such fucking bullshit!" he scoffed. "we should just call the cops and get that shit shut down."

eddie and reina shared a look before she sat up and moved to sit down by the edge of the bed. "benj looks scared as shit, i doubt something exciting is happening." reina stifled a laugh.

eddie nodded, still focused on his game. "yeah, and why are you so mad? a few hours ago you didn't even wanna go."

connor rolled his eyes. "yeah, but i decide. they don't tell me i can't go, that's my decision - let's get wild tonight."

"get wild?" eddie and reina questioned in sync.

"you know what i mean - let's, uh, smoke cigarettes," he suggested.

reina laughed. "one inhale and you losers are dead," she joked.

"you know she isn't wrong, i have allergies," eddie said.

"well let's just do something!"

"we are! we're gonna play some halo, do face masks with rei because she's gonna force us anyway, and crush some motherfuckin' meatloaf! shit's gon be lit," eddie said enthusiastically, not taking his eyes off of his game.

rei high fived him. after that, she got up and stood in front of connor who sighed in defeat. "stop throwing a tantrum, hothead," she jokingly rolled her eyes. "besides, you love doing face masks with me."

he hummed. "yeah, but not that weird charcoal one, that one hurts so fucking bad."

"charcoal? what - no! absolutely not rei, you aren't putting that cement torture shit on my face ever again," eddie spoke up in genuine fear, rapidly hitting a bunch of buttons on his controller.

reina and connor burst out laughing, remembering when eddie accidentally left his on for too long, and it took almost hours for reina to peel everything off. safe to say, eddie had his face in an ice bowl for the rest of the night.

eddie liked hearing them two getting along again, even if it was at his expense.

suddenly, dennis appeared in the doorway, barely knocking once before walking in. "oh-ho-ho-ho! there's my guys and girl, huh?"

connor silently took reina's hand and led her back to sit on the edge of the bed. once they sat down, connor wrapped an arm around her waist, and she leaned into his side with her arms crossed.

"yeah, staring down the barrel of another wild night, i see," he taunted, looking at the tv screen and around the room.

eddie's shoulder's slumped. "can i help you, dennis?" he asked bluntly, clearly annoyed by his presence.

"i doubt it - i'm just waiting for your mom to get ready. it's her birthday so i wanna do something special to her," the man replied casually.

to, not for? reina's face scrunched up in disgust at his words. she felt connor pull her closer to him, also staring at the man weirdly before sharing a look with eddie.

"hey, can i ask you guys a question?" he didn't even wait for answer. "obviously you're not doing gangbusters in the real world, right? which is fine - but you're at least getting some action in the metaverse, right?"

reina looked down, trying not to laugh. connor and eddie looked at each other in confusion. "that's not how it-"

"but hey i mean, little man over there," he pointed at connor, noticing how close him and reina were. he held out his fist, expecting connor to fist-bump him back.

instead, both teens just stared at him, and connor made no move to return the gesture. eddie grinned in amusement, and the three watched dennis awkwardly retract his hand back. "no action yet? alright, alright, cool.." he held his hands up.

connor grimaced. "what.."

"hold that thought," dennis interrupted, answering a phone call. "yo."

the three could just about hear the other voice. "what up, d-bag?"

"oh, my man!" dennis looked at them and pointed to his phone by his ear.

"d-bag?" reina whispered with a smile. connor stifled a laugh.

eddie continued on with his game with connor watching, and reina checked her nails, all whilst dennis was on call.

"ah no - no i can't do that tonight. i'm taking my lady out for her birthday," he then sighed huskily. "yeah, the one with the kid. mhm."

the three teens stopped what they were doing, all looking up at dennis who stared back at them. he then laughed loudly, "ha! trust me, he doesn't have that in him..."

reina narrowed her eyes at him, tempted to let her intrusive thoughts of kicking him in the balls win. connor noticed the look she was giving dennis. "you wanna hurt him, don't you?" he grinned.

"would you stop me?"

"nah."

after dennis ended his phone call, eddie's mom walked in with a bright smile. "hi boys, rei!"

"hey mama, looking good," eddie smiled.

"yeah, you look amazing, ms young," reina complimented the woman who she also saw as family.

she waved the young girl off. "oh, you're an angel. you look amazing yourself, sweetheart."

"aw thank you," she smiled gratefully.

"looking very good, my queen." dennis leaned forward and kissed her.

"hey ms young, happy birthd-"

"wait wait wait." dennis put a finger up, not even looking before kissing eddie's mom again. "okay."

ms young giggled, lightly hitting dennis' chest. reina had to refrain herself from frowning.

"happy birthday."

"thank you, connor," ms young replied, her smile growing after seeing him and reina.

"any big plans?"

"dennis is taking me out to dinner."

"nobu," he added.

"then we're getting a hotel for the night."

"four seasons," he added again.

ms young was in a fit of giggles. dennis pointed to eddie, "this guy gets it."

eddie shut his eyes briefly and shook his head, wondering if this was real life.

dennis chuckled. "we should go, the uber is here."

"dinner's in the oven, call us if you need us, and be careful," ms young said, getting polite nods from each of them.

"oh and make sure you blow on the food before you bite into it. cause i really don't want you to burn your little tonguesies," dennis teased.

no one laughed.

ms young hit his chest again. "okay! okay, good night guys!"

on their way out, reina's eyes widened as she heard a slapping sound, followed with ms young's laughter and a faint "dennis behave!"

"he should make sure he hides all his knives, wouldn't want him to wake up without a dick," reina muttered before speaking loudly. "i don't know how the fuck you cope, eddie."

"i don't."

connor abruptly got up, and reina missed the warmth greatly. he went over to the door before turning back around in frustration. "see, even your creepy-ass dad thinks we're pussies!"

"he's not my dad," eddie corrected.

"well he's definitely your daddy," both connor and reina spoke.

"now he's gonna go fuck your mom in some cheap motel," he grimaced.

"they're going to the four seasons."

"whatever, dude! everybody is partying and fucking except us!" connor complained, not even processing his words.

reina rolled her eyes.

"the fact that they're willing to leave you alone speaks volumes about how little respect they have for you."

"actually, it means the opposite?" eddie furrowed his brows.

"eh, he's a tiny bit right, in a fucked up sense," reina said, shrugging.

"what - how?!"

"see! come on, man - are we really going to drift through life, getting disinvited from parties whilst guys like dennis bang our moms?" connor exclaimed.

"jeez, is it that time of the month again?" reina flopped down on the bed.

eddie abruptly put his controller down and threw his hands up. "okay, fine. what would you like to do?"

instantly, reina sat up, making direct eye contact with connor as the two smiled. usually, this would've had them all flustered, but right now the two shared the exact same brain cells, having the same idea in mind.

eddie looked at them both, slowly shaking his head in regret and slight fear.
