"Get your sweaty ass off me Herondale," Gabriel cried angrily as he tried to shove Will off him.

"Oh Lightworm, you know you love me!" Will sang with a smile and continued snuggling the other man. He knew how much Gabriel hated being near him so he did it as often as he could.

At some point, Gabriel managed to push him off, but not without a smooch from the blue-eyed man. Gabriel's face contorted in disgust at that and wiped feverishly at the moist spot on his cheek.

"C'mon Will, stop torturing the poor guy. One of these days he may finally give up, and you'll have to leave me for him," Tessa grinned, looking over at her friend Cecily, who returned the sentiment.

"Oh, Tessie, you know that I'll love you and only you," and he picked up his girlfriend, swinging her around while she laughed with glee.

"Ok, lovebirds, quit it. We need to get out and do something; you boys are getting a little too antsy," Sophie declared sternly, her brown eyes narrowing on Will and Gabriel who had begun to wrestle.

After much consideration, Gideon ended up driving everyone to the local Laser Tag place. Once there, everyone began deciding on their names. For Tessa, it was: BookLuvr, for Will: DuckSlayer4000, Jem: XviolinX, Sophie: b0ss lady, Gabriel: HorseGuy, for Gideon: SconeLuvr, and for Cecily: Blue_Eyed_Bby.

Later, they began arguing on which laser gun for who, which took about 15 minutes before the employees yelled at them to, 'Just pick a damn one!' Then, the games began.

It wasn't long before Jem was tagged out by someone from another group. Then it was Cecily who got Gabriel, and then Will tagged her out. Then Sophie and Gideon ended up shooting each other at the same time and left the arena giggling like a bunch of schoolgirls. So, it was just Will and Tessa left.

They were some of the best players, tagging out people from other teams but never getting close enough to tag the other person out. This lasted about 20 minutes. Sophie, Cecily, Gideon, Jem, and Gabriel sat anxiously staring at the TV reading who was still in the game. The names, BookLuvr, and DuckSlayer4000 again appeared on the screen in an angry red font. The girls - plus Gabriel - were betting on Tessa and the boys were betting on Will.

"C'mon, C'mon, C'mon," Cecily fretted anxiously. "Tessa needs just to tag him out already!"

Back in the arena, Tessa was thinking the same thing. She needed to get Will, and fast. If she squinted hard enough, she could make out a single red beam bobbing in the darkness like a ship out at sea. Tessa followed the light and slunk off into the abyss.

Will knew what he was doing. Tessa had seen the laser he had shone up onto the ceiling and was using it as bait to lure her into his grasp. With a smirk, he slunk off into the abyss.

Tessa's vest that was strapped to her chest - a little too tight she might add - was making her sweat profusely. This only made her want to finish the game more quickly. Wiping some sweat from her brow, she continued her journey to the red beam.

She could make out a mess of dark hair in the darkness and silently crept up behind it.

But as suddenly as it was there, it vanished. Tessa frowned in confusion and backed up against the wall behind her, uncertainty clouding her judgment. Suddenly, a dark mass shot in front of her so quick she didn't have time to react. And suddenly this black mass was pressing their lips onto hers.

"You know, Will, you can't make out with me just to win the game," Tessa sighed with a small smile on her face.

"I can try."

Then she heard the sound of a laser being fired and the vibration from her vest signaling that she had been shot. Rolling her eyes, because knowing Will, he would use his charms to get anything.

"C'mon Tessie, let's go to the others," and they both walked outside, hands intertwined.
