Thanks for all the reviews! It's been like 2 years and I still find it hard to believe people actually like what I write! Thank you!

Oh and if you like House of Anubis crossover fics you should check out musicrox14.

Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis, if I did Patricia's favourite band would be called Demon Bite, which I in fact do own because I made them up, wow, I am so creative.

House of Competitive Boyfriends

"Do you ever feel like Fabian and Nina are a bit too happy, like it's cute but it kind of makes you want to punch them in the face all the time?" said Mick to Catty as they stood across the hall from them.

Nina had her arms around Fabian's neck and they were whispering and giggling and occasionally kissing every 10 seconds or so.

Patricia, Jerome, Alfie and Skylar were also stood with Catty and Mick.

"They are way too happy, it isn't normal," confirmed Catty, "And they are way too into public displays of affection as well."

Skylar said to Patricia and Jerome, "I'm glad you two aren't like that."

"Ummm," said Jerome awkwardly and the others turned to stare at him confused.

Patricia asked, "What's up with you?"

"Open your locker," he replied sheepishly.

Patricia looked a bit confused and a bit scared but she went to her locker and opened it after a moment of hesitation. It was filled to the brim with rose petals that tumbled out at her. Then underneath the petals there was a box and an envelope. She first took the envelope and opened it.

"Tickets to see Demon Bite!" she yelled, "Jerome, you are insane but you are the best boyfriend ever!"

"You still haven't opened the other bit," he grinned, happy she was happy.

The box contained a cake which Jerome had cooked himself (with Trudy's help).

Patricia really wasn't into pda's but she couldn't help herself. She kissed Jerome and hugged him and jumped up and down excitedly.

Most of the school had come to stare at what was going on and as he and Jerome walked past Fabian, Zach and Logan, Jerome whispered, "I win."

That was the start of the most epic battle of the boyfriends ever.

HOAHOAHOA

"Our school is actually insane," said Hailey sitting down next to Craig, "I thought the secret admirer stuff was crazy but after what Jerome did for Patricia yesterday and now Logan just…"

She told Craig all about Logan wearing a horse mask and carrying Amber to school on his back.

"Well I just saw Zach…" informed Craig.

He'd seen Zach and Danielle entering the cupboard where they'd once been trapped before school for a picnic breakfast. Zach had covered the cupboard in twinkly, fairy lights.

"That's pretty adorable," said Hailey.

"I know," replied Craig, "Now we just have to wait to see what Fabian does, he needs to retain his title of best boyfriend in the school."

Hailey said, "He does, I hope he doesn't sing to Nina, been there, done that."

"It needs to be more unique than that if he wants to win," answered Craig.

Him and Hailey looked at each other and suddenly realised how ridiculous there conversation was, they burst out in hysterics.

"I still prefer my secret admirer presents to their boyfriends gestures," she admitted, a small smile on her face. Hailey wasn't convinced it was Craig but if it was she wanted to make sure he knew she'd changed her mind. Earlier she'd always said such horrible things to him about the secret admirer.

Craig smiled and observed, "Well you've changed your mind then, why?"

"It's been going on for so long now, it must be true," she said, "And the gifts have become a lot more thoughtful, it's just so sweet, now I'm not scared they don't mean it the true romantic in me can't help but find the whole thing incredible."

Internally Craig was grinning but he didn't want to give anything away.

HOAHOAHOA

"Sally it's been ages, you need to talk to Mr Winkler now," demanded Catty as her and Mick sat in Sally's room talking over there plan of action.

"Catty," replied Sally, "Mick figured it out on Sunday, today is Thursday, it has not been ages."

Catty rolled her eyes in response.

The past few days had rolled by quickly as Catty and Mick had been bombarded with the boyfriend battle and Catty had been spending more and more time with Ryan (when Mick was distracted).

She was starting to like Ryan but she still had feelings for Mick.

Ryan was nice. Ryan was funny. Ryan liked her and he told her, not like the way her friend's boyfriends shouted it out to everyone that would hear but quietly. He complimented her and he flirted with her. She wasn't sure whether it would go anywhere; she didn't see any reason for it not to, except Mick…

"Sally, you know what's at stake here, Nina's life, Catty's life, we need to get it sorted and solved," said Mick gently.

"You're right," she frowned, "I know you're right but talking to him would mean…"

Catty said, "Admitting your feelings."

"Not necessarily," she snapped, her face flushing, she realised she had again accidently admitted to having feelings for Jason Winkler.

"You've got to tell him, Sally," she said.

She groaned like a teenager. To be fair she was only 24, she wasn't that much older than Catty and Mick- which was more evident at times like these.

"I don't have to say anything," she said, "I just have to tell him that I know he is dying, I know about what happened last and as little as possible about me."

Catty grinned, "And then you kiss!"

Mick and Sally turned to give Catty looks of utter disbelief.

"I'm sorry but Sason is my otp, ah my feels, you just need to be together, I ship you guys so much," squealed Catty.

Mick said, "That's it, we are deleting your tumblr immediately."

Catty protested, Sally laughed and Mick looked deadly serious.

"I'll think about it, I promise, I will talk to him, I just need to decide what to say," she said.

Mick answered, "It's okay Sally, I know it's pretty complicated, take your time, just not too much time because then they might kill Nina and Catty."

The girls laughed despite the fact what he said wasn't actually funny. They might.

HOAHOAHOA

"Did you talk to Sally about the dying blood thing?" asked Nina when she saw Catty later.

Catty did not like keeping secrets from Nina but she couldn't tell her about Sally's feelings for Mr Winkler because that would feel like betraying Sally.

"Sally is working on it, she thinks that she might be able to get Mr Winkler to give us blood but obviously it's a bit of a weird situation so she might figure it out another way, either way we don't have to worry about it anymore," babbled Catty.

Nina nodded and looked a bit confused. She then laughed and said, "I still think it's weird how you call her Sally."

"Sometimes I do to," replied Catty, "But she talks to me like we're friends so it would be weirder calling her Miss Holmes."

Nina found this pretty weird too.

"Mick seems really worried about how Sally's family want to kill us," said Catty, she then paused and said, "Wow, that sounded pretty weird."

"It's our family against their family," smiled Nina taking her cousins hand and squeezing it.

Catty smiled at her and they sat in silence for a moment, it wasn't an awkward silence but it was slightly tense yet both girls felt safe with each other.

"You know why Mick is so worried don't you?" asked Nina.

"Drop it Ninny," said Catty edgily.

Nina apologised and asked, "How are things with Ryan?"

Catty told her they were good, they were good, but Mick…

"Well that's great," said Nina trying hard to sound sincere and almost managing it.

HOAHOAHOA

"Secret admirer delivery!" yelled Skylar as she answered the door.

There was a box there with Hailey's name written on it, she rushed to the door unable to hide her excitement, she'd given up on doing that recently because she was a girl after all. Hailey took it into the living room and opened it at the kitchen table. Inside the box was a plant pot.

"There's no flower," observed Skylar.

Hailey checked the tag and replied, "There's herbs inside, he already did flowers remember?"

Skylar laughed and apologised for her terrible memory.

"Your secret admirer is the cutest thing ever, I seriously doubt anything a boy ever does for me in the future will be able to compare to this," grinned Skylar.

Alfie was in the room, he looked over worried which Jerome noticed.

"Don't worry about it, you just have to think of something better," he said.

Alfie continued to look worried.

He left it about 10 minutes and then got up and sat down next to Skylar at the table where she was sitting reading. Hailey had got up to go to her room to put the herbs in the window sill.

"Hello," she smiled.

She noticed he seemed nervous when he replied, "Hi."

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine, I was just wondering, whether, maybe, umm…" he stumbled and then…

A marching band burst into the house and approached Nina who was sitting down. Fabian walking in after them holding a sign that said I love you. Nina looked scared and touched.

Alfie groaned. Skylar got up to laugh at Fabian's gesture, momentarily forgetting what Alfie was saying to her… Alfie got up and walked away. She watched him leave, confused and sad.

The marching band continued to play loudly and Nina suddenly realised that Danielle was also there, playing the sax as part of the band. She glared at her teasingly.

Jerome covered his ears because of the noise but the others in the room (Mara, Joy and Amber) smiled and laughed at Fabian's cuteness.

They finished and Fabian said, "I love you."

"I can see that," she laughed and kissed him.

The girls cheered, Jerome groaned again.

"You're losing Jerome," teased Mara, "Where's Patricia anyway?"

"Changing," he answered, "I'm taking her out tonight, we'll see who's losing now!"

The girls laughed because the boys were taking this competition way too seriously, it was cute though.

Nina and Fabian both thanked the marching band; Fabian was paying them by doing their maths homework for them.

Hailey came back downstairs and asked, "What did I miss?"

Everyone burst out laughing.

After they told her Nina teased, "Did you find a good place for those herbs?"

Hailey replied, "Yes, yes I did."

She went and sat back down next to Skylar who was looking a bit strange so Hailey asked her what was wrong. She told her about her short exchange with Alfie.

"Do you think he was going to ask you out?" whispered Hailey excitedly.

"I don't know," she said, "I thought he liked me but he usually treats me like we are just really good friends, then that happened but he didn't finish what he was saying, then he just left."

"He's shy," frowned Hailey, "You know better than anyone what it's like to be anxious about things, you make him nervous."

Skylar said, "I know I do and I hate it, I don't want to put him through that."

Hailey didn't really have an answer for this; she knew Skylar would never, ever make the first move. She could be confident but it wasn't in her nature to force someone's affections, she was much too shy to say anything to Alfie, it would probably just end up with her shaking. Damn conversion disorder. However she could see she was distressed by the idea of making Alfie feel so insecure and nervous, she hated feeling that, she didn't want others to feel that.

"I don't know what to say," said Hailey honestly, "I think you should wait, just don't say anything and see what happens."

Skylar was about to respond when Craig entered with Ryan and Justin. Craig and Justin weren't really friends with Ryan so everyone was confused.

"We ran into him on the way here," informed Craig.

Nina smiled and said, "You three are over here quite a lot, I wonder why."

Justin blushed, Craig laughed nervously and Ryan just smiled.

"Is Catty around?" asked Ryan, "We're meant to be going out tonight?"

Nina answered, "Yeah, she's upstairs with…"

She trailed so Amber helpfully filled in the blanks, she yelled, "WITH MICK!"

"Oh yeah, Mick, he's a nice guy," commented Ryan and Amber's face fell as her plan to scare Ryan off seemed to fail instantly, Nina couldn't help but smile on her cousin's behalf despite the fact she herself shipped Matty.

Nina went to get Catty from upstairs and Craig made his way over to Hailey whilst trying to be subtle about it. She told him about her latest gift and he acted surprised like he always did.

Patricia and Catty both came downstairs looking pretty and left on their dates.

Then Alyson came downstairs laughing.

"Logan just kicked me out of our room," she said, "Amber, you must go up there now, for some reason he has got your make up kit."

Amber giggled and ran upstairs.

Skylar said, "I'm starting to think that Logan might be the winner you know, he sacrifices a lot of his pride for Amber."

Fabian yelled, "ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?!"

Everyone laughed because Fabian was freaking out over a competition about who was the best boyfriend.

"Where's Zach and Danielle?" wondered Hailey.

Nina answered, "I think her and Zach have snuck out, they were going to make a den in the forest."

"That just sounds scary," criticised Fabian.

Skylar pointed out, "Which is clever because she'll cling to him to keep her safe, Zach is such a romantic I swear, who would have thought it!"

Fabian was getting angrier and angrier.

Mara teased, "Hey Fabian, aren't you the only guy who isn't taking their girlfriend out on a date tonight?"

Fabian was about to snap.

"The marching band, did no one see the marching band?" he cried.

"I saw the marching band and it was wonderful," grinned Nina, "I love you Fabian, that's all that matters isn't it?"

"Yes, I guess," he said.

She yelled, "You guess?"

"I'm joking, I'm joking!" he shouted, scared of his girlfriend's wrath.

Everyone laughed and Fabian sat down next to his girlfriend, she snuggled into his arms and giggled some more.

"You are the best boyfriend, you know that don't you?" she whispered, "I mean, you're the only guy I know who has told their girlfriend that they love them, never mind remind them of it at least every hour."

Fabian grinned at that idea and kissed Nina, she always knew what to say.

"I love you."

I didn't know how to end this chapter (it's SO long) so I just kept writing until I came to more Fabina. I love them so much.

Hope everyone is liking the boyfriend battle, any ideas would be appreciated because I'm finding it hard to come up with lots of romantic gestures! Who do you guys think is the best boyfriend anyway?

I was hoping to write more mystery into this chapter but I ended up only setting up further mystery, more will come soon, promise.

Thanks for reading and please review.
