Arcade Fun

Gilbert was glad that nothing at school really changed when he went after getting holes in his pants. It also felt so much better without his tail being squished. He really wished he could figure out what his tail would do because he did know that every animal had that one spot that calmed them down and that other spot that made them 'happy'. Well the relaxing spot seemed to be a reoccurring thing that all they had to do was get their ears scratched. The 'happy' spot seemed to be different with each animal and it had different effects as well. He noticed his bruder and the other dogs seemed to lose their anger and lie still when someone touches their stomach. That had to be the oddest place because cats always warmed up to you, as in hugging you tightly when you traced their spine. Gilbert didn't know what the bear's spots were and really didn't want to know because it was already bad enough he couldn't get Ivan to just go away.

Francis noticed that his friend seemed to actually be thinking lately and it worried him because his friend was so impulsive that it was rare to see him think. He wasn't really complaining though because usually what would happen was that he came up with a good idea or he was having trouble at home. The Frenchman just hoped that it wasn't home trouble because it seemed like his parents were still trying to control his life even though it seems like they don't give a damn about him. "Gilly, are you okay?" he asked using his pet name that no matter how deep in thought he was would always catch his attention.

"Don't fucking call me that!" he exclaimed snapping out of his thoughts to glare and fling a spoon of mashed potatoes at his head. "I'm just fine I just need to relax and not think…" he mumbled going back to pretty much only playing with his food.

Antonio was frantically trying to help his friend get the potatoes out of his hair and looked back at the albino. "Why don't we go to the arcade amigo? We haven't gone there in at least a month." he suggested finally pulling away when Francis had stopped complaining.

"Oui, we can go do that tonight even." agreed Francis wrapping an arm around his best friend's shoulders. "We can even have some extra fun~." he winked letting his hands slowly slide down their backs. Both friends instantly pushed at his face making him put his hands up in surrender. "Oui, oui, we can keep the fun for a later time." he smirked.

"I wouldn't mind going to the arcade though because I could still kick your asses." declared Gilbert smirking widely.

"Wasn't it I who was beating you last time?" Antonio asked trying to remember exactly.

"No way in hell! No one can fucking beat me!" snapped Gilbert.

Francis pulled his friends closer as he continued eating his meal and was thinking of a way he could help 'spice' up their arcade trip later. He looked around the room seeing as Ivan was nearly death glaring him again and couldn't help but realize the perfect bet. "I have an idea to settle this little score." stated Francis getting the other two to quiet down.

Gilbert looked at him noticing the glint in his eye and knew in some way he would regret this but he would never back down from a challenge, especially one from his friends. "What would that be Francine."

Francis sighed knowing he would do something like that and took a deep breath having his smile come back. He knew that once in a competition that Gilbert could easily get distracted and lose very easily. His tail swished happily back and forth knowing exactly how to do it. "Whoever loses has to go on a date with a person after drawing their name out of a hat." he stated.

There was silence from the two before they began outright arguing because they thought it was ridiculous that they couldn't choose or at least have an idea of whose names will be going in the hat. "Why do we need to draw a name?" asked Antonio after they got over the initial shock.

"Because it makes it only that much more interesting~." he winked at the both of them already knowing this was just to get back at Gilbert for the mashed potatoes.

Gilbert still didn't exactly trust him but he also had to prove that he was way better at video games than Antonio. He nodded and grinned widely, "Alright I'll take that bet."

Francis shook hands with him and then looked at Antonio waiting to see if he would get his approval from him. Antonio thought about it and just hoped that Francis would at least put Lovino's name in because he was just so adorable~! "Si, I'll take it as well." he said shaking his hand as well.

The trio walked into the noisy boisterous arcade looking around seeing as there were plenty of new machines but also a lot of the old machines that they loved to play at. There also seemed to be a lot more kids than usual but they didn't mind that because they could beat anyone that challenged them and they got challenged a lot. Since they haven't been there in awhile people might have forgotten that they were the champs but would soon remember. Gilbert instantly went over to a shooting game that had four players. The three of them put in their coins and began to play the game. "There is no way in hell you guys are beating me!" gloated Gilbert winning so far.

"Do not think we will go down that easy mon ami~." Francis stated doing considerably well.
Antonio was quieter than anything else focusing on the game being close to beating the German. It was when Gilbert had died that he took the lead and cheered. "Si~! Looks like I will win this round!"

As the trio moved around the arcade slowly building up their wins and looses another group of friends were watching them. The leader of the group happened to be a St. Bernard and was watching Gilbert very closely. He couldn't believe that a rabbit was pretty much beating his scores and he didn't like that one bit. His other friends were as well but the fact a rabbit was as well was the one that pissed him off. I need to show him his place.

Francis was doing quite well and winning most the games so far and in second came in Antonio. Gilbert was fuming over this because he really wanted to win so he could see the sucker getting stuck going on a date with someone they probably hated or vice versa. "This is so unfair you guys have to be cheating." he growled crossing his arms because there was no way they could be this damn good that fast.

"Non, we have no reason to cheat Gilly~." stated Francis waving it off.

"I said don't call me that!" he snapped.

"Calm down guys let's go do DDR as the final game si?" asked Antonio trying to keep his friends calm as much as he could. He really didn't like to see them fight so he was trying to keep this as an innocent competition.

Gilbert ran over to the machine and put his money in instantly. The person who stuck in their money next however wasn't any of his friends but another person. "I want to show you who is the champion." smiled the St. Bernard.

"You won't be able to beat me." he glared at him moving onto his pad and began to pick the song.

Francis and Antonio knew this would turn sour because Gilbert was clumsy… very clumsy. He was good at the game if he could keep his focus. So his friends went to stand behind him as the other kids group went behind their friend. This does not look like it is going to end well.

Gilbert picked the 'Captain Jack' song being pretty much his best song. He got ready picking a faster than average speed as well. His opponent picked the average speed and got ready smirking at him. The albino glared and his attention was back at the screen when the song started. Gilbert was doing great having a nice perfect streak beginning to stack up as well did his opponent. Antonio and Francis stayed quiet as the group next to them cheered on their buddy. "Go Zane!" they shouted.

The German's friends were looking at his opponents screen surprised to see he was doing this well and since their attention was off their friend, another person slowly snuck up behind them going toward Gilbert. Zane had told him he had once chance to throw the rabbit's attention off and he couldn't screw it up. So the cat slowly came up seeing the other two cats looking away and quickly grabbed Gilbert's tail before letting go and taking off. Went exactly as planned~.

Gilbert felt his tail being grabbed and if there wasn't instant yelling from his friends the small mewl that left his mouth would've been heard. He fell to his knees too shocked to believe at the sound that just came out. What the hell was that? The tug, that was meant to be rough, actually felt good and it caught him so much off guard that he lost the game even. He cursed realizing what had just happened as his friends came to his side quickly.

"Mon ami are you alright?" asked Francis pulling him into a tight hug.

"Gil, Gil!" shouted Antonio hugging both his friends just as tightly.

"Ge… get off!" he exclaimed trying to get free feeling just fine now it was just surprising.

His friends held on tightly for a few more minutes before pulling away. "You cheated!" accused Antonio glaring at the group that was watching them.

"I didn't cheat." stated Zane smirking widely as his tail moved back and forth. "Prey should just know their place and not act all big."

Gilbert would've attacked Zane already if Francis didn't have a strong grip around him. "You bastard." he growled as the group walked away and Francis only let him go when he thought it was safe.

"They must be new people here." he stated.

Antonio nodded and looked at Gilbert one more time. "Si, I guess we should finish up right?" he asked them. They all nodded and decided to just keep an eye out for the group again.

Gilbert was swearing up and down that it was the match between the St. Bernard and him that messed up his groove. He was only complaining because he was now the one having to draw a name out of the hat. Francis had a plan all along that when the albino would lose that the only name that he could draw from the hat would be Ivan. Yes, it was cheating but he felt he needed to relieve or at least see if Gilbert liked the Russian in anyway. It was the only thing he could think of so he knew if he could trust Ivan to help them keep their friend safe. "Oui, now you just need to draw a name from the hat. We found a couple people that would be willing to go out on a date with you~." he smirked.

Antonio was bouncing up and down not knowing about the Frenchman's plan. "Si~! It was maybe only a few but we did get enough to make it interesting~."

"Hey don't make it sound like I'm not fucking Awesome!" he snapped at the Spaniard before quickly drawing a name and read it before somehow going even paler than normal.

"So who is it?" asked Antonio looking over at the note.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me!" he yelled.

Ivan~3

Okay so the last part is what the note said obviously because Francis can pull off anything to torture his friends. This seems like a late update because I've literally had nothing to do other than work on fanfiction so I was kind of expecting it to be done faster but eh. I hope you guys like the update and maybe the little twist(?), if you can call it a twist that I added in.
