The night was cold and dark, and the survivors had gotten back to the cabin safely. Many of them were tired out, opting to rest and recoup on the couch- But a certain gambler and pizza delivery guy were taking their much needed break time upstairs in the small library nook, watching tv while sitting on the comfy beanbags! It had been a crazy run, with chance almost messing up his coin flips and shots, and Elliot throwing so many missed pizzaâs heâs not sure how much food went to waste. But most importantly now they were safe and they were alive.Â
âSooâŚYou ever wonder if the killers eat your pizzas when one of the others doesnât go for it? Or does it justâŚGo cold and moldy?â Chance asks absentmindedly, to which his boyfriend shrugged.Â
âI donât think they can eat em actually- I mean, if they could it probably would suck for us cause it would give âem healthâŚâ He mumbled, leaning forward slightly toward the gambler as he spoke up..
âWell it isnât like they lose health like at all man- I mean have you seen em?! I fired a shot at Don and he just stood there and then kept walking! Itâs so unfair!â Chance huffed, deflating into his beanbag. Elliot gave a nervous smile, looking away.Â
âIâll pretend like it isnât concerning that you know the mafia personally just donât lead him to me next round okay? I donât have a death wish.â Chance snickered at that, rolling his eyes. Heâd never do thatâŚTo Elliot anyways- Look sometimes his luck is really bad and his health's low and he needs a little help! Not his fault heâs being targeted by mafioso every time heâs the killer!
âI promise Elli, Iâd never do that, swear on my life!â
âYeah, you say that but you almost died last round so I dunno how solid that statement is~â
âKey word âalmostâ! You were just around the corner and I know I can always count on our good local pizza guy!â That made Elliot smile a little softer, his voice low.
âHah, you think so..? I missed my targets a lot last round and sometimes people didnât even pick up the pizzaâŚIs it my recipe?â His smile began to fall. âI feel like I donât do enough compared to you guys I mean I just throw a pizza and run! Iâm such a coward- HYEEEHEE-! Chance!â Elliots cheeks reddened as he felt two hands squeeze his sides, making him jump and snap his head around to face the smug man sitting beside him, a smirk now on his face.
âSnap out of it Elliot! Like I said you saved me last round! Donât go moping about how you donât do enough when half of us would be gone without you.â
âBut I- Eehehe- Hey!â Another squeeze. Elliot was getting flustered now- If only that damn gambler wasnât so persistent!
âI said stop moping! But since you got wax in your ears or something I guess I gotta remind you of how awesome you are!â He pounced suddenly, jumping onto his boyfriend as his hands immediately found his hips and he began to dig his thumbs in gently. Elliot let out an uncharacteristic squeal, bursting into giggles.Â
âChahahance- Wahait- Hyahahaha!â Elliot squirmed under him, his hands finding Chance's wrists- But he didnât completely try to shove him away- which the other took as a sign to continue as his smirk softened slightly into a fond smile.
âYâknow Elli- Youâre such a kind and caring teammateâŚYouâre always here to help if weâre low on stats or hurt..If I asked around, the others would probably agree!â Chance complimented him, now moving his fingers to spider across his lower ribs.
âBuhuhut- But I ruhun awahaaAHAy!â Elliot tried to deny, but he was interrupted by his own giggling, a wobbly smile forming on his face.
âAnd you arenât the only one who does⌠Oh and thereâs that sweet smile you always give everyone! Sooo cute~ I mean just look atâcha- You could light up the whole Cabin with that!âÂ
âNohoho- Shuhut uhup!â Elliot blushed even brighter, almost the same shade as his shirt!
âHey! Donât tell me to shut up or Iâll bring out the big guns~!â Chance switches to gently scribbling at Elliot's stomach, making him toss his head back with a squeal.
âCHAHAHANCE! Hehehehaha- Stahahap!â Chance only smiles wider, grinning down at him.
âYâknow you say you want me to stop but you arenât pushing me away~! In fact you seem to be pulling me closer..Are you having fun Elli~?â He coos, no malice or mockery in his tone surprisingly, only fondness with a hint of teasing. Elliot could only giggle in response, turning his head away to try and hide his growing flustered redness and smile. But chance took that as an opening, because if there's one thing he knew from his gambling days? Always take your chances- And also cause it was literally his name. He quickly swooped his head down and began peppering tiny ticklish kisses all over Elliotâs neck, which pulled squeaky breathless giggles out of him.
âEeehehe- Chahance-! Hehehehaha-!â The buildermans ears and neck were now completely red too, his smile practically splitting his face in two.
âAwwww~! See how loved you are Elli? No one here would ever think badly of you- I know I donât~!â Chance continued to gently kiss all over his neck and ears, making poor Elliot a flustered, squeaky puddle underneath him as he opted to sink into his beanbag.Â
âBuhuhut Iâm nohot as spehehecial as you guhuys!â That made Chance pause.
âWho said anything about specialty?â The gambler retorted, stopping the kisses to gently nuzzle his cheek. âListen- We care about you- I care! And you are just as special and important as all of us..Like I said before, you save so many of us all the time- I almost died out there how many times now? And what kept me alive? You and your damn pizzasâŚIâm here cause of you. And Iâll stick around because you light up my world with the exact look youâre giving me right now~â Elliot took in much needed air, looking up at him with slightly nervous eyes.
âYou really mean that?â
âOf courseâŚ! Would I lie to you~?â He grins. The pizza man sighs, then decides to be a bit playful.
âEhh I dunno! I think you might sometimes~â He joked, to which his boyfriend gasped in mock shock.
âReally? You say that after I pour my heart out to you? Iâm shattered!â He puts a hand on his heart, acting like he was just shot, before he gently grasps the hem of Elliotâs shirt. âFine..You wanna play that game~? Alright, I warned ya about the big guns didnât I~?â Elliot's heart drops with giddy fear.Â
âW- Whaha?â He was already giggling in anticipation, making Chanceâs smirk soften.Â
âYou heard me Ells!â He gently lifted the fabric up, smiling.
âNoho-! Chahance wait- Waitwaitwait-!â He giggled frantically.Â
âWait..? Why? You know Elliot, 95% of gamblers quit before the win big~â He slowly leaned down. âBut Iâm part of the 5% that goes for the Jackpot~!â And with that he pressed his lips against his boyfriends stomach, blowing a huge loud raspberry. Elliot almost screeched, kicking his legs as he burst into renewed laughter. His hands grasped at Chanceâs shoulders, looking for any sort of reprieve from the tickly feelings.
âHYAAAHAHAHA! CHAHAHANCE!â He laughed, tossing his head back once more. His boyfriend kept blowing raspberries, occasionally mixing in little kisses. By the time he stopped Elliot was a giggly blushing mess again, gasping for breath.
âSo..You finally gonna stop putting yourself down or do I gotta start again~?â Chance wiggled his fingers threateningly, to which Elliot squeaked and shook his head.
âI wohonât-! I wohohonât..!â
âGood~!â Chance gently rubbed away the remaining tingles for him, fixed up his shirt and then gently kissed his nose. âYouâre so important ElliâŚDonât forget that, okay?â Elliot nodded, slowly calming down as Chance pulled him close, both of them finally properly resting in each other's arms.
