'Movember'
Rory had seen some weird things. Weird things she couldn't even describe if she wanted. Weird things that if repeated would land her in an asylum for the insane.
Well, clearly she had been part of the majority of them with a mother like hers and a boyfriend in the Life and Death Brigade. But since she had started living with Logan things had sky rocketed. She didn't know if Finn and Colin's extra free time was the cause, or just the boyish charms she had fallen for from the start. Either way, it was getting slightly out of control.
She could deal with the Life and Death Brigade events, as out of hand as they may get.
She could deal with the drinking competitions and the ghost title of playboy he had over his head.
She could even enjoy the company of Finn and Colin tricking her into losing video games against them.
But recently, her boys had become a little too obsessed with making bets between themselves.
Who could cause the biggest fight?
Who could create, and then proceed to drink, the worst alcoholic concoction?
Who could puke the furthest?
Who could get the highest on pub quizzes without using the letter 'A'?
They ranged from the normal to the completely insane with prizes of sports cars and forfeits of laundry and university work. However strange they may be, they never affected Rory's relationship with Logan and for that she could happily laugh as she watched them make fools of themselves. Until November…
November 7th
November was more commonly known as 'Movember' amongst students, a month in which participating male students would refrain from shaving for an entire month. While originally started in aid of charity, the concept had been warped and was now victim to another betting challenge of the three boys Rory often had to play mother to.
"Shave." Rose insisted, her face pulled tight with anger at the on-again-off-again 'boyfriend' Finn.
"Love, it's movember." Like it defended all of his actions.
A week of growth had left Finn with a dark hairy mass bubbling to life over his skin. The more it grew, the more pissed Rose became.
"This is ridiculous, you look like an idiot." She swatted at him and he skilfully dodged. Many years of females slapping him for lewd comments had given Finn reflexes like a cat.
"I look like a winner." Finn corrected, throwing his trademark grin to his pseudo-brothers across the table in the bar. "You're both going to be on your hands and knees for the next month, better get some kneepads."
"Sure, I'll just borrow your mom's." Colin replied, taking a smug drink of his beer.
The bet was quite simple, the last to remain with the beard would have the others cleaning his apartment for the next month.
Despite the fact every one of them hired a maid service, the place was still trashed easily and the humiliation of cleaning the other's apartment would serve as reminder of inferiority.
The first few days, Rory hadn't minded the stubble. In fact, it added something to him. And… not that she'd ever admit it out loud, when he went down on her, the beginnings of his beard had given her an extra tickling pleasure she couldn't even try to hate.
But now…
Rory turned and frowned at Logan's current state of grooming. 7 days had grown the stubble into a dark blonde wilderness smothering his previously perfect jawline into extinction.
Gone was the rugged charm only to be replaced by the homeless essence he was shrouded in.
Sweet kisses turned into black op missions to avoid the prickles sure to cause a rash. Cuddling was no longer an option, not when her teddy bear had grown barbs all over his face.
Like Rose and Steph (Colin's current girlfriend), Rory agreed that the problem arose when the preferred option was to notkiss their boyfriends. Action had to be taken.
"Shave, or I'll tie you down and pluck each one of those damn hairs from your stupid face!" Rose threatened, jabbing a finger at Finn.
"Another week, babe." Logan whispered, kissing the top of Rory's head. "Finn's getting too much abuse to hold out any longer. Besides, Colin won't be far behind, he's been getting as much heat from Steph."
Juliet and Robert had also been in the competition, but Robert's father had intervened on an unscheduled visit and told his son that the business he had his hands in needed a man who looked the part, not one who looked like he'd been swept up from the streets. Robert had shaved to save his inheritance. Well… Robert had been manhandled into a barbers and forced into a chair… but the result was the same. Juliet could kiss him again, and he had a month of cleaning the apartment of whoever won.
Rory turned from her boyfriend, finding Rose's eyes on her.
It was clear what the message was; sympathy.
None of the girls were enjoying this current bet.
Where previous bets had been comical or painful to watch, they never affected the girls. This was the turning point.
"Can't you change the bet?" Rory suggested, like Rose; trying anything to get her man back.
"Rory, love… when a bet is placed and shook upon, there are no amendments." Finn explained.
"You don't even need the boys to clean. You all have maids." A point that had made Rory's first month with Logan very uncomfortable as she stumbled around how to address the 'Merry Maid' in Logan's apartment.
"Ace. It's principle." Logan chastised. She knew this… she hated this and she knew it.

The fiction is not at all meant to be serious. Just light hearted fun.
