The Gauntlet

"...I told you no...uckin touch..."

Aiden lowered his book and glanced at the door.

"...tra just c...down..."

He closed the book and got up sure he heard the voices this time. But he was a little confused because the gang wasn't't due to visit till about an hour. So why were they here now?

"Look see, I think it's coming loose." That was definitely Jesse.

"It better be, or when Olivia and Axel see it there gonna kick your ass, then mine for failing to prevent your stupidity."

That was Lukas.

"Just help me pull." Petra snapped.

"Ow! OW! Not loose! So not loose! Guys stop!"

"Oh quit your whining it's moving!" Petra said.

Jesse protested, "No it is not! Ow!"

Aiden decided to open the front door then. Petra and Lukas both fell through into the threshold crashing hard to the floor.

He looked down at them, then at Jesse. The male timidly waved from the entrance, "Sup Aiden? Sorry we're late."

Aiden crossed his arms, "You're not late," he eyed the glowing glove on Jesse's waving hand, "You're early, by over an hour."

The other grinned and looked at the still untangling pair from the floor, "See that guys, we're early."

"We'd be earlier if we hadn't stopped," Petra countered.

Lukas managed to get up first, audibly growling and retreated to the kitchen.

Aiden helped Petra up, glancing towards Jesse as the brunet closed the door behind him. "So, new fashion statement?"

"What is?"

"Oh, I don't know..." he pointed, "The big glowing gauntlet on your hand."
Jesse looked at said glove. "That obvious?"

"No. Not at all." Aiden said dryly.

"Idiot just had to put it on, and now it is stuck on his hand!" Lukas hollered angrily from the kitchen.

"I'll get it off," Jesse hollered back.

Aiden reached over and gave the piece of armor a tug, Jesse even stretched his fingers out and kept his palm flat to prove it was stuck. "Smooth. Story?"

Jesse sat on the couch, "I'd rather wait till Olivia and Axel get here so I don't have to explain it twice."

"Fine but they better hurry, I think it's devouring you."

Lukas shot his head out from the kitchen, "It's what?!"

"Chill, I was joking..." Aiden casually looked at Jesse.

Jesse was 'casually' tugging at the gloves, and obviously trying not to panic.

Aiden looked at Petra, "Screw it. I'll get the butter and you tell me everything."
