He immediately relaxed once the door was shut, collapsing on the couch face down, "They gave us one bed," Came the muffled reply, "I think they think we're together already."

“Oh yeah they most definitely think that.” He crossed his arms, sitting down on the couch near Lachy. “This is gonna be fun to deal with.” He looked over at Lachy, poking him gently. “You okay?”

Lachy raised an arm and gave a thumbs up, "Peachy. I just don't like people staring." It made him feel like he was back at school when everyone would stare and make fun of him, "Nothing big."

“That makes sense. Anyway, I really don’t know if we’re going to be able to get rid of the rumors but we can try I guess.”

"Rumors tend to stick around. And if they already think that something is up trying to get rid of them are just useless. I think we just… be ourselves and go from there."

“That’s true….this is going to be a real bother for us isn’t it?” He said, releasing a long sigh. Aidan wasn’t used to being in the center of attention so this would be hard for him.

Lachy nodded, rolling onto his side and curling round one of the outrageously soft pillows, "Mhm. Unless we make it explicitly clear like… yelling at each other in front of everyone that we are not together then they're always going to believe it."

“Yeah But I don’t want to yell at you, and we need to be a good team, so I guess we’re just going to have to deal with it.”

"I guess so." He sighed, drawing patterns on the pillow he was holding, "Hopefully no one makes too many comments about it, though."

“I don’t think they will. At least I hope not. And if they do make comments we can just ignore them.” He leaned off the back of the couch, his bangs falling up over his head.

Lachy rolled over all the way, pillow to his chest as he stretched his legs out across Aidan's lap, "Ignoring them might be hard when it seems like there's so many of them here."

“True. We’ll just have to do our best then.” He said, looking over at Lachy. He wasn’t necessarily angry about the rumors. There were a lot worse people to be accused of dating.

Lachy sighed softly, glancing at Aidan before back to his pillow, "When did Mike say he was coming back?" He asked.

“No idea. Maybe a few hours or so?” He said with a soft sigh. He didn’t mind having to be around Lachy. But being in confined space together for awhile meant things would get awkward between them eventually.

He nodded a little. It then dawned on him that he barely knew anything about the other male. If they were supposed to work together, they had to be friends, and friends knew what the other was like, "Wanna play 21 questions?"

“Sure.” He suddenly sat up, finding that all the blood was rushing to his head. He readjusted himself on the couch. “Umm…you ask first.”

Lachy hummed, thinking for a moment. Start with the simple questions and work his way up, "Favourite hanf out spot back home?"

“Mm..there was this kinda secret spot near the back school parking lot. Kids used to just go and make out but then I took it over.”

"Define 'take over?' Like did you just scream at them until they went away or did you actually drop kick 'em out?"

“I didn’t even have to do anything, although I wish I drop kicked them. But no one wants to make out when there’s just some dude standing there staring at you. So yeah, I was that creepy kid at my school.”

"Woooow, I'd have never have thought that the dark, brooding emo kid be the creepy one." He teased, poking Aidan in the chest with his heel.

He laughed. “Woah woah, look at that, the man’s got jokes.” He grinned up at him. “But you are right, I am the dark, brooding emo kid.”

Lachy rolled his eyes, though he was still smiling, "You might be dark and emo, but when you wanna be I suppose you're not all that bad."

“Why thank you.” He said, doing his best to do a dramatic bow from where he was sitting. “I guess you’re not that terrible yourself.” He smiled.

He snorted, "Okay okay, stop being so dramatic," He laughed, "Okay next question. Weirdest thing you've ever eaten."
