The Sleepover

Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia.

AN: I had this idea and I thought it'd be pretty funny.

Description: Dirk is going away for away for a week to remove exspheres from survivors, leaving Lloyd the house. What will Lloyd do when he invites three boys over for a sleepover? AU yaoi ZxL KxY

Monday

"I'll be back in one week, Lloyd." Dirk assured him.

"Yeah, I know dad."

"And remember, no girls, no parties, and no alcohol." He said firmly.

"I know, I know. You can trust me."

"I know that, son. Take care of the house."

Dirk hugged his adopted son and waved good-bye. He had an important mission to safely remove the expheres of the Desian's prisoners. Lloyd had reentered the cottage. He trailed around aimlessly and finally sighed in bored and it was only nine a.m. There was absolutely nothing to do! Genis and Raine were in the newly rebuilt Palamcosta at the school and Colette was a girl. So she wasn't allowed over. Lloyd had no idea what his other companions were up to.

He went to his ICD (instant communicating device). It was a great invention of the Sybak half-elves and ran on magitechnology. It could be used to contact other people, as long as they had one and were on your Pals List.

He contacted Zelos.

"…Ergh…"

"Zelos?"

"…sleep."

"Wake up! It's Lloyd!"

"Lloyd?"

"Uh-huh!"

"You mean my little snuggle-wuggle bear Lloyd?"

"Don't call me that!" Lloyd blushed.

Zelos laughed at the other end. "What do you need, bud?"

"I don't know." Lloyd looked blankly for a moment. "Dirk just left for a week and I am kind of bored."

"Huh? What? Oh damn… sorry, babe. It's the hunnies. I promise I will call you back. Maybe we can party…"

There was a distinct silence on the other end. Lloyd pouted in frustration. He called Sheena instead.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Lloyd."

"No, I don't know any Floyds."

"Lloyd Irving!"

"Duh! I'm trying to get my people to Sylvarant-Move your ass!-Tough work you know?"

"Sounds like it."

"Tiga, if I have to tell you one more time!"

Sheena had gotten disconnected. Magitechnology was so unreliable. Maybe Presea would have something reasonable to speak of. He contacted her.

"Greetings, Lloyd."

"Hi. What's up?"

"…"

"Presea?"

"Wahoo."

"Are you in Altamira?"

"Wahoo?"

"Gaah!"

Lloyd furiously cancelled the call. Was everyone too busy to talk to him? That's when Lloyd's ICD began to buzz with the tune of Tethe'alla Battle Song 5.

"Hi?"

"How are you?"

It was Kratos, his blood father. "Um, fine. Just…bored to death."

"That's not surprising." There was a brief silence. "Dirk has left today hasn't he?"

"Yeah."

"Are you busy?"

"I just said I was dying of boredom? Do you ever listen?" Lloyd said rolling his eyes.

"Is that Lloyd?" Said a background voice.

"Yeah, go away." Kratos whispered to it.

"Heheheh." The other voice answered.

"Hey, who is that?"

"No I wasn't!" Kratos barked immediately. "I mean that was a friend."

Beep!

"Hold on, Zelos is calling."

"Your perverted boyfri-"

…

"Hello?"

"Hun!" answered an eager voice. "So about that party?"

"No, no parties. I promised."

"Fine… then we will call it… a sleepover!"

"Well… I guess." Lloyd said cautiously.

"Great!" replied Zelos before Lloyd's sentence was complete. "I just need to pack my stuff. A week right?"

"Mmhmm."

"See ya soon! Mwah!" Zelos kissed him goodbye.

Lloyd beeped over to where his father was patiently waiting.

"Back."

"I was not! Right, welcome. Uh-hem." There was a cringing silence until Yuan began ranting in the background. "Not gonna invite us to your party, huh?"

"What?"

"Yeah, we heard it all!"

Magitechnology was so unreliable. "And it's not a party; just a sleepover."

"Your own father…" Kratos mumbled.

"Fine. You can come, but only for a week like Zelos."

"A week? You better take an extra cape, dear. I mean ant…e…lope."

Lloyd wished his father still wouldn't pretend about his relationship with Yuan. Whenever that awkward stuff came up, Lloyd was always reminded of… that day.

Lloyd was only walking into the Sylvarant Base to apologize to Yuan. It appeared empty. But Lloyd heard a disoriented Yuan yell, 'You're it!' And he turned to see a naked Yuan wearing a lampshade on his head. Consequently, Lloyd had never forgotten that fear.

"Just be here later." Lloyd grumbled.

The swordsman cleaned up the house for his guests. It was always so messy when dad was making insignificant figurines. After the house sparkled, Lloyd sat in front of his large-screen TV, a gift from his father. He got every channel from Derris-Kharlan to Niflheim despite the fact that nothing was ever on.

Currently, the brunette was being fascinated by the Wonder Chef.

"And today the Wonder Chef will be making…Lemon-Lime and Kiwi-Banana Tacos!" The crowd gasped in excitement. Lloyd too made a slight, horrid choke. In the midst of Lloyd's erotic taco nightmare, a cheerful tapping hit the solid wood door.

"Babe!" Zelos gave a tender smooch to the red cheek of Lloyd and dropped two heavy bags on the ground. Zelos plopped down in front of the TV and began flipping through the channels. Lloyd was forced to haul his bags to his bedroom.

"What the hell, man!"

"What?"

"Why are all the Altamira Bunny channels blocked?"

"Dad blocks all the bad channels."

"Babes in bunny suits are not bad, Lloyd." Zelos grinned.

He had gotten used to Zelos' odd behavior. The Chosen was indeed gay but still swooned over women; it must have just become a habit he didn't grow out of. Lloyd noticed it had gotten dark already. The other two should be coming shortly. Soon enough there was a loud beating on the door. Lloyd swung open the door and saw his distinguished auburn-haired father and his overzealous azure-headed mate.

"Lloyd! I brought the alcohol!" Yuan said proudly holding up a jug of vodka in each hand.

"What? My dad told me no alcohol."

"That's right, son. You won't be drinking any." Kratos said in a kind but firm tone.

The duo trotted on in; Yuan with vodka and Kratos with their bags.

"Hello." Kratos said in contempt to Zelos.

"Hey." He replied turning his nose up.

Yuan let the vodka hibernate in the fridge. The four sat quietly and lifelessly around the TV watching Coliseum Champions. The four men say dreadfully bored. Yuan finally got up and went to the fridge, removing a new jar of pickles. He twisted the lid; no good. Kratos watched in pain.

Kratos knew blue-haired people were unblessed when it came to jar opening. Forcystus too could not open jars. But then again, he had a cannon attached to his arm. Kratos stole the pickle jar away from his love. "Let me."

Kratos tried, forced, and growled with frustsration. He could not open the jar either. Zelos quickly entered the scene.

"Give it here, sissies."

The three boys fought over the jar, each one trying to remove the lid.

"Get off my toe!" Zelos cried.

"You're hand is too frail." Yuan told Zelos.

"My hands… are slipping from sweat!" Kratos murmured.

Lloyd snatched the jar away from the three, twisted it without hesitation and sat it on the table. "There."

Zelos looked at Lloyd happily, Yuan made a spoiled brat face at Kratos who looked ashamed.

"Why couldn't we get it off?"

"You were twisting it the wrong way."

The three broke out into an argument of who was most foolish. Zelos pretended he knew about it the whole time while Yuan told them he had cut his finger earlier. The jar of pickles had fallen onto the floor in the ruckus.

Lloyd sighed, "Morons…" and answered yet another knock on the door.

"Hi, Lloyd." Said Colette. "I was just returning the mayonnaise you let me borrow."

"Thanks." He said retrieving the jar.

"How are y-" Colette spotted the pickle incident on the floor. "Lloyd, you have a party and don't invite me!?"

"It's not a party!" Lloyd whined.

"Humph! I know pickles when I see them. I will just have to see you later!" Colette stormed away.

Lloyd returned to the rest of the idiots who were frantically trying to salvage the fallen pickles. It was going to be a long night…

AN: Review now please. I got this idea while walking my dog and more ideas just came along with it (the pickle, alcohol, and mayonnaise joke). I hope you enjoyed it. And let me know by reviewing, that way I can write the next chapter. And don't you want to see three drunken hotties? Heheh.
