The Gang Goes to the Beach pt 1- All A-vored!

It was 4 in the morning, and the band room had already erupted in chaos.

Really, 4 AM seems to be a normal report time at this point. Why wouldn't the band room be in chaos at any given point of time.

This time was special though. It wasn't a bitter October morning, spent running around preparing uniforms, warming up, and finding a disgusting amount of hair ties for Nova’s mane hair. No, the chaos was caused on a mild April morning by a bunch of teenagers excited out of their minds for a Band Vacation.

Yes, someone thought it was a good idea to bring 20-ish superpowered (and non-superpowered) teenagers all to the beach together for a week with minimal adult supervision and didn't think ‘Huh, maybe this is dangerous’. This someone was Moniqa. God Bless Moniqa.

While waiting for the slackers (Merak, and Copen namely) to arrive, those already taking up residency in the band room double checked suitcases or just got into shenanigans.

Xiao and GV were amongst the ones to be pouring over checklists to make sure nothing was left behind.

“Pants? Underwear?” Xiao said, trying to decipher the rushed list GV made at some unholy hour the night before. "Phone? Wait where's charger on th- nevermind."

“Yeah, yeah,” GV replied as he filed through various clothes to identify what he needed.

“Binders? Backup bras?” Xiao said, seemingly emphasizing the last part.

GV rolled his eyes, “Yes, and yes your nagging finally got to me, dad. ”

Xiao put down the checklist, “Hey, you're gonna thank me when you can breathe properly and your chest isn't all fucked up.”

Meanwhile, Teseo was enjoying himself by singing cheesy pop songs extremely out of key and extremely close to Gibril, who was having none of it.

“Don't quit your day job, Teseo. You suck.” she said as she scrambled to find her headphones in her suitcase.

Teseo’s goblin grin only widened, “Aww, don't b such a #partypooper. I sound great,”

Gibril grunted in response, “Yeah sure, but your taste in music is still shit.”

“Ooh, I gotta get better tunes then, that's y ur so salty? Maybe I'll pass u off 2 Ghauri so you can listen to his beats, LOL!”

“You're not making sense anymore.”

“The inner workings of my mind are an enigma >:3c”

“Stop.”

Fortunately for Gibril (or perhaps unfortunately), Merak and Copen finally decided to show up and everyone was finally allowed to board the bus, slowly, so we wouldn't have any trampled students, or at least minimum possible. After a fair bit of shoving and making sure no one was actually trampled, the rowdy bus fell into silence as it’s 4:30 in the morning and if there's something these guys love more than chaos it's sleep.

That and questionable things happening in the back seat.

You see when it's 4:30 AM and at the very back of the bus, the 'No PDA' rule flat out doesn't exist. Xiao knew this better than anyone else. Xiao also knew that in these situations, playing video games with headphones not only blocks out unsavory noises but also the crippling feeling of loneliness and yearning for love. We've all been there, Xiao.

Now thankfully for all parties involved and not involved, there was nothing happening in the back seat that was beyond Zeno covering his small fuse box of a boyfriend in kisses and whispering very gay things into his ear while he thinks no one can hear him. Everyone who's awake totally can and kinda want him to know it but also kinda too nosy to stop him.

(Also everyone can notice the flustered sparks coming off of GV’s body that might be a electrical fire waiting to happen, but it's not yet so therefore it doesn't matter)

“Geeeeeves, you're so cute when you're flustered,” Zeno cooed as he nuzzled his nose into GV’s bright red cheeks. “I could just eat you up!”

Now normally this would be a sign of endearment and not an offer of cannibalism or something worse, but Teseo, on of the nosy conscious people, did not take it that way.

“OMG Zeno, I didn't know you were into vore! #exposed #kinkshamed”

“ What,”

Teseo said that a lot louder than he expected, a lot louder. Woke some people up even. Asshole.

Now with some new sets of tired eyes on him, Teseo didn't know what to do with all the sudden attention. He had to think fast.

“I mean, r u guys hearing what he'd said back there? I'm just sayin what everyone's thinking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

Now the eyes had shifted to the back where Zeno and GV were trying to get untangled as best as two sleepy teenagers in the dark could, also needing to think fast on how to reply.

“Uh, how about you don't eavesdrop? Teseo I know you're lonely but that doesn't mean you have to listen to us to get a taste of what having a significant other is like.” GV replied, before laying his head onto Zeno’s shoulder.

Now anyone who wasn't awake was brought back to the world of the living as everyone broke out into “OOOOOOOOOOH”s at the unintentional (or perhaps intentional) roast of the year. Teseo slinked back into his seat, perhaps to search for some aloe vera.

“Gibril, how long is it until we get there?” Teseo said, nudging his seat partner, who was blasting heavy metal at full volume in attempt to muffle the tomfoolery.

Gibril glanced at her phone, looked back up, and without moving her head at all, said “Teseo we've been on the road a little less than an hour. We're gonna be here a while.”

“Fuck.”
