...fuck you bye
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's been a few days since they all settled for the month they'll be spending together. All was progressing well between each other, so nothing awkward was happening between them. The day was quiet so far, no laughing nor yells of joy were going on. Well, that is until a certain Bradstion decided to end it.
"Bazzaaa!" Brad screeched as he walked around the area, trying to search for his furry friend. "Bazzaaa, where are you Bazzaaaaa!"
"What Brad?!" Bazza called out a distance away.
Brad followed the sound to find the person he was looking for sitting on one of the chairs on the front porch having a conversation with Neptune and Sean. "I'm bored." Was all he said.
"Sorry Brad, but I can't do anything about that. Try doing something... I don't know. Entertaining?"
"Like what?"
"Search around, you'll find something to do." Was all he said.
Brad groaned as he lazily fell on one of the open chairs beside Sean. "I'll just sit here with you guys." He slightly pouted.
Sean chuckled lightly at Brad's childish behavior. He sighed before realizing something, since the moment they all settled here. They never actually spent time all together as a group, only moving from one person to the other.
"Say, how about we all do something fun for once." Sean suggested.
"Like what?" Bazza raised an eyebrow in interest.
"I don't know, we can explore this place or something. There's a lot to do than just sit here and chit chat all day until night time."
"Did someone say, fun!" Stylosa randomly appeared.
"..."
"..."
"...Did you just teleport?" Brad pointed his finger.
"No, I did not." He replied.
"Then how did you? When did you? Whatever." Brad crossed his arms and slumped back on the chair.
Stylosa blinked a few times, confused on why Brad would say such a thing before shrugging.
Neptune leaned forward, wondering what Stylosa has in mind for a bit of entertainment. "So, what do you have in mind?"
Just then, she found herself being sprayed in the face with water.
Stylosa had a water gun in his hand aimed at Neptune before raising it over his shoulder with an amusing smile. "You're looking a little... soaked Neptune."
Neptune pulled a chunk of wet hair covering her eyes to the side of her face as she stared at Stylosa blankly.
"Really?" Bazza spoke. "Water guns? Do you think I'm a twelve year old or something?"
"Eh, it's an option. You don't have to do it you know." The British man cleared.
Bazza crossed his arms. "Well, the obvious answer to you my friend is no-" Just then, he found himself being sprayed by water, drenching him and his clothing. He jumped in surprise as he tried to fight off the liquid with his bare hands. When it stopped, he looked at Stylosa with a face of absolute shock. "What the hell!"
Stylosa raised both of his hands to halt his thoughts. "It wasn't me." He gestured with his head to the right.
Bazza followed his gesture to see that Neptune had a huge smile on her face as she struggle to contain her laughter. The same goes for everyone there. He narrowed his eyes when he saw that it was her.
"Oh, you little-" He was silenced by another round of water to the face. Bazza looked at Stylosa before he sprung himself towards him. He grabbed his water gun before aiming it at Neptune. "Say hello to my little friend!" He spoke in a loud tone before firing.
Brad cheered for his furry friend. "Go Bazza!" He yelled with his arms in the air. Brad was soon hit with a wave of water as well.
"Come on little Bradly!" Sean spoke, somehow having a water gun in his hands as well. "Fight for true honor and glory!" He tossed his weapon at Brad before reaching to the side to grab another one.
"You'll pay for that Sean!" Brad exclaimed as they all began firing at one another.
Stylosa stood in the sidelines in silence. He watched the scene unfold before him, the four of them rushed out of the porch and onto the open field in order to have more room to move around. "Hmm, that escalated quickly."
Elliott and Oasis made their presence known a few seconds later, wondering what all the ruckus was about. "Stylosa." Elliott called. "What... is everyone doing?"
"Well, we're all being sprayed to death by water I guess." He spoke.
"And no one invited me! I'm hurt." He began to ramble off.
Oasis spotted an extra few water guns in the corner of her eye, she smiled as she made her way over to it. She examined the few that were there, and picked on that would best suit her. Luckily when she picked it up it was already filled, so there was no need to go fill it. She turned around to face the Elliott. "Hey, Elliott!" She called as she raised her weapon.
Elliott turned around and was mauled down with Oasis's water gun. The Asian girl had trouble on keeping the gun facing straight ahead, it surprisingly had a lot of pressure when she fired it. Almost like a real gun.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Oasis put her hand over her mouth, she was laughing yet worried that it may have been too much for the poor Australian.
Elliott smiled, before he started laughing. "You're going to pay for that Oasis!" He joyfully called out. He went and grab another spare before firing at the tiny girl in point blank range.
"N-No! I'm sorry!" She squealed as she ran around. Elliott right on her tail.
Stylosa sighed before smiling. "Well, might as well join them." He thought before joining in the entertaining conflict.
The seven of them continued to soak themselves in water, Brad decided to be a little evil and fill his container with 'ice' cold water. He gave his gun a few pumps as he was about to make his way back to the battlefield. But instead, he chose to go hunting for a certain someone to test his evil idea on.
Shen was seen doing her own things on the other side of the cabins. She could hear the joyful laughs of her friends doing whatever they're doing. She was going to check it out herself, but she wanted to stay by herself for a little while before joining on whatever everyone is doing. She heard the sound of someones footsteps crunching on the grass, so she turned and saw a soaked Brad looking at her.
"Brad?" She spoke. "What the hell happened to you over there?"
Brad shrugged as he walked towards her, a smile pasted on his face as he waited for the best time to do what he came here for. "Oh. you know. Just... fun." He spoke, not knowing how to explain it.
Shen scoffed. "Yeah, it does seem like a lot of fun."
Brad didn't reply, he stood silent for a few seconds before speaking up. "So, whatcha doing here all by yourself M'lady?" If only he had his McCree hat right now.
"Nothing really." She normally answered. "Why are you here?" She looked at his water gun, the way he was holding it began to slowly connect to her on his intentions "If you're going to squirt me with that then you have another thing coming Brad."
Brad did his best impersonation of a confused and shocked expression. "What? Me? Shoot you? Pl-lease! That'd be the last thing I'd ever do to you Shen." He soon thought to himself. "Pfft, yeah right." He inwardly smirked.
"...why do I doubt you?" She emotionlessly stated.
"Well you shouldn't." He looked away with his arms crossed as if he was hurt.
Shen smiled, placing her palm over her mouth as she tried to conceal her smile. It's so cute when he tries so hard. "You know Brad, you're not fooling anyone with that act of yours."
"What if it isn't an act?"
"Then what else could it be? Knowing you, there's very limited options on what conclusion can come of it."
Brad sighed in defeat. "Alright, alright! You got me." He then smirked "But it doesn't change the fact that you're going to get soaked!" He raised the hand which held the water gun, but instead of a water gun, his hands were now empty.
"You looking for this?" Shen raised her arm with a smile.
Brad blinked a few times before raising a finger with his mouth open as if he was about to say something. "...Well played."
Shen laughed before she started squirting Brad who began running for his life.
"C-C-Coooold!" He shouted as he picked up his pace.
"Get back here Brad!" Shen called out as she chased him back to the others.
Sean stood in front of Bazza as if he was Reinhardts shield. "Get behind me Bazza!" He yelled as they were under fire from all directions.
"Oh, I thank you for that!" Bazza thanked. "Where's your shield Neptune!" Bazza called out in victory.
"I don't need a shield like you do, coward!" She replied.
As they continued to exchange liquid water with one another, the sound of Brad screaming came into their ears. Sean looked to his left to see Brad being chased by Shen. Sometimes he saw him tense up when the water splashed onto him.
"Brad!" Sean called out, intending to help his friend. "Get behind me!"
Brad didn't waste the opportunity Sean gave him and immediately ducked behind him.
"Sean!" Shen laughed as she tried to aim around him to get Brad. "Move, I don't want you."
"Ahh, no can do Shen." He smiled. "You'll have to get pass me." He pointed his water gun at Shen. "Are you too scared that you'll lose Shen?"
Shen responded by shooting Sean in the face which made him jump in surprise by how cold the water is.
"Fuck this!" Sean stated moving out of the way. "That is bullshit!"
Brad seeing that Sean was no longer in front of him, grabbed the closest person around him, which was Bazza, and hid behind him as Shen fired another round that was suppose to hit him.
"OOOOooh! My God!" Bazza screamed, his muscles tenses at the unexpected cold temperature. "That is too cold!" Bazza made a move to get out of the way, but Brad stuck with him the entire time.
"No! Bazza! Don't leave me like this!" Brad cried.
"Fuck that Brad! You're on your own!" He was sprayed upon with another wave of cold water. "Aaaah! Stop shooting me Shen!"
"Then get out of the way!" She laughed with a huge smile as she continued to fire. Most of it hit Bazza while Brad took less of the icy cold water. About a minute of none stop firing and Bazza screaming for mercy, Shen ran out of water. "Shit." She cursed.
Brad took this moment to dash inside of the house, confusing Shen on why he'd do so. He soon came out with a bucket with water spilling from the sides a few times over how fast he was moving. At that moment, she knew it was her time to run. "That's cheating!" She cried as she began to back away from the approaching Brad.
Brad ignored her cries as he continued to chase her. "Cheating? I see no such thing!"
"Fuck off Brad!" She laughed, sprinting as fast as her legs could.
"Get back here Shen!" He yelled.
"No!" She yelled back, an enjoyable smile spread across her face as Brad continued to chase her down.
The continued fight for dominance came to a halt after a few hours of non-stop running, shooting, and laughing at each others mistakes. The eight are seen laying on their backs on the grass, exhausted over the amount cardiovascular exercise they put in.
"That...was...amazing!" Sean spoke in between breaths.
"Ugh, my legs are killing me." Elliott proclaimed. "How long has it been since this started."
Brad looked at the sun for a few seconds determining what time is should be right now. "I'd say about three or four hours since we started this" He smiled. "And it was a lot of fun!"
Shen, knowing that most of his fun came out of messing with her scoffed. "Fuck you Brad. I can't believe you did that."
Brad rolled on his stomach as he searched for Shen. He caught her laying just a few feet to his right. "Oh come on, you know you enjoyed it!"
"..."
"...See, you can't say anything because you know it's true!" He let a bright smile envelope his face in victory.
Neptune sat up on her butt and got to her feet. "Ugh, I need a shower after all of that." She wiped some grass that stuck on her clothing.
Shen chuckled, agreeing with her friend. "Same! I feel all yucky and covered with dirt."
"Oh-oh!" Oasis jumped. "I want one too!" She got to her feet and ran inside to get some extra clothing and grab one of the few showers available. Since the place was pretty big, their was actually four places where you can bathe.
The three females hurried off, leaving the five men to lay silently with one another.
"Four showers and three are now taken huh?" Bazza spoke.
The five of them sat up on their behinds and stared at each other. Time seemed to slow down as they eye'd each others movements, daring any one of them to make the slightest movement. They could of sworn a hawk just cawed in the distance, and then...
"I'm first!" Brad yelled jumping on his feet and dashed to the cabins.
"No you're not Bradly!" Sean jumped and tackled Brad to the ground before making a dash himself.
"You wot mate?" Stylosa appeared and tripped Sean before taking off in his own dash as well.
Elliot chased Stylosa in order to stop him, but he tripped as he did so. Luckily he managed to grab a hold of the British mans foot and cause him to fall with him. Bazza ran passed the two gaining the lead.
"Yes!" Bazza thought. "I'm going to make it!"
"Bazzaaaaa!" A screech was heard. He turned back to see Brad jump on him just as he reached the top of the porch that led inside the house. Brad made Bazza lose his balance and fall down the stairs, down towards Sean, Elliott, and Stylosa.
"Catch meeeee!" He yelled dramatically as he fell on the three.
"Haha!" Brad yelled in victory! "Suck it!" He then dashed inside to get what he needs.
"It's not over yet Brad!" Elliott screamed as he and the rest charged into the house shoving each other along the way.
As they continued to give chase, it became no use to be able to catch up, for Brad was now far too ahead of them all.
It's been a few hours since the incident that took place. The time was currently 2 in the morning, barely anything could be heard but the sound of distant waves across the jungle like forest, the sound of crickets chirping, and slight snores heard in individuals rooms. In Shen's room, she tossed and turned under her covers before her eyes opened in annoyance. She sighed before removing the blanket on top of her and slid her feet into a pair of slippers hanging over the edge. She stood from her bed and wrapped a night robe around her body before finally grabbing her blanket to cover over the rest of the clothing. She wanted to get some fresh air, and since it was night, and they were near open waters, then it must be pretty cold outside.
Shen opened the bedroom door quietly as to not disturb anyone from the creaking noise it made. After shutting it behind her, she made her way to the front door and exited the cabin. As the cool air rushed upon her skin, she couldn't help but feel more relaxed than before. She stood silently listening to her surroundings, but what caught her attention was a lone figure standing near the small open pathway that brought the sea water into the middle of the island. The person seemed to be picking and throwing rocks into the water talking to him or herself.
"Ugh, why do you I feel like this when I'm with you."
Those were the words Shen caught, or at least what she think she caught. Shen took her first few steps away from the cabin, wondering who else besides her was out here all alone. As she came closer and closer, the more she could describe the features on this person until she finally realized who it was.
"...Brad?" She softly, yet hesitantly called out
Brad turned around in such speed that made him seem like he never moved a muscle.
"Sh-Shenpai!" Brad stuttered. "Wh-Why are you up at this time?"
"I could say the same thing to you Brad."
"W-Well." Brad nervously chuckled. "I-I...stop avoiding my question!"
"I wasn't!" Shen replied. "I just thought you were going to answer my question first because it seemed like it."
Brad huffed as he crossed his arms. "Well, I won't answer until you do."
Shen sighed seeing that there was no way around this. When Brad has made up his mind, he'll want it completed before telling you anything, but then there's a huge chance he'll troll you in the end and leave you even more clueless than before. Well, hopefully it won't come to that.
"I just couldn't sleep, I mean. I did get some in. But I woke up after about 2 hours and I couldn't fall asleep after that. So I came outside to just be by myself, but then I saw you and... well here we are now." She had no idea how to explain everything, so she just got straight to the point.
"O-Oh."
"Yeah." Shen sighed once more, staring at the ground for a brief second in thought. She snapped out of it remembering that she wanted to know why he was out here. "So, why are 'you' out here Brad."
Brad stiffened. "Uh, well." He tried to think of the most believable lie he could think of, but at the rate he was right now. Nothing would seem believable at this moment over how long he took to reply.
"...Brad?" Shen spoke again.
He groaned in frustration as he knew he would have to say something sooner or later. "Might as well say half of the truth." He thought before clearing his throat. "Sorry, I'm actually out here because I'm having some... confusing emotions currently."
Shen replayed what he said over in her head a few times wondering what he meant. "Confusing emotions? Are you alright Brad?"
"Yeah, Yeah, I am!" He placed his thumb on his chin in thought acting like he was indeed confused on what he was trying to feel. "It's just something weird I need to think through of at the moment." He stopped, not wanting for Shen to think the wrong way, he shook his hands in front of him to halt her from coming to an early conclusion. "I-It's not like I'm having suicidal thoughts or a severe case of depression. I'm completely fine." He stopped, letting his arms slowly fall to his sides as his head hung a bit. "It's just, something that has been happening recently. I mean, it started about two or three months back... but now it's just coming to a point that I actually have to stop and think for a moment on why I'm like this."
"Like what?" Shen pressured a bit. Honestly, she didn't like it when Brad was acting like this. Sure he's a cunt a lot of the times, but she prefers the annoying Brad than a vulnerable, hesitant Brad.
"I... I, I don't want to go more into the concept, please." He nervously spoke. "I know you're trying to understand Shen, and I know you want to help. But, the thing is." He paused, wondering how he was suppose to say the next few words without giving it away. He shook his head to get rid of such thoughts. "N-Nevermind, it's nothing." He turned away and walked towards the cabins. "G-Goodnight Shen!" As he continued to walk, the sound of Shen calling his name made him stop.
"...Brad!"
Brad came to a halt, he turned his body to face Shen, but he was greeted with her wrapping her arms around him.
"You don't have to keep this to yourself." She spoke as her head rested against his chest. "I'm here if you want to talk about it, I'll always be here for you Brad."
Brad stayed silent as he tried to comprehend what was going on right now. As his thoughts finally caught up to him, he slowly clenched his fist into a tight ball, forcing every last scrap of his being to not break down. "Y-Yeah." He shakily replied. "T-Thanks, Shen."
Oh how he hated it when he was like this. How he hated feeling so open, so readable, and exposed. How he hated that she was the only person that managed to get this deep inside of him in such a short amount of time. He hated it.
...But he couldn't help but love the feeling at the same time.
