GEMINI: characters stuck in a small space
Whoever came up with the bright idea to get Michael his own laser tag equipment for his birthday must have been insane. Like, legitimately, certifiably, insane.
It’s their day off and, of course, Michael had decided that everyone was going to play laser tag with him. Never mind that nobody else wanted to play; he’d just handed out the guns and vests to everyone and said, essentially, every man for themselves, but to stick to the large meeting rooms of the hotel, namely the ones set up for their meals.
Which is how Luke finds himself hidden under one of the catering tables, gun discarded by his side, tweeting about how stupid laser tag is when you play with extremely competitive people who will accept no end but their own victory.
There’s a rustling of the tablecloth and Luke picks his gun up again, ready to take out whoever it is (hopefully Michael so he’ll stop terrorizing everyone), but a glance at the person’s black hair tells him that it’s Calum. He sits down with an “oof,” then looks over at Luke like Luke’s the one who imposed on his hiding spot.
Calum’s face softens into a smile after a moment, then he says, “So this is where you’ve been! I’ve been looking for you for ages, mate. Michael’s gone crazy trying to win this stupid game.”
Luke nods. “He’s lost his fucking mind! Like, I knew he was competitive, but this is ridiculous.” Calum hums in agreement and they sit in comfortable silence for a little bit, tensing when they hear the door open, holding their breath until they hear it close again.
“I guess I should have asked this earlier, but it’s cool that I hide here with you, right?” Luke nods and they occupy themselves until they hear the door open one last time, Michael yelling, “I lost, fuckers, you can come out now!”
send me an astrological sign and a pairing and I’ll write a thing!
