A/N: oop this is late but you love me so it's okay wink wonk

Draxr, Witty, Winter, and Snek (I'm so sorry if I forgot someone) didn't say anything as they went through their ruined belongings. Well, what was left of their possessions. The bottom floor had been wrecked. The top two floors had mold and possibly other things. And there were fish in the living room.

Kashi, Neko, Bwhyte, and Lady had come along for physical and mental help. They gathered what was needed and put the things in the back of a truck.

Kashi approached Witty as he stood in the living room.

"It's all gone," he whispered.

"Not everything."

"Most of it. I mean, I didn't lose the upper levels, but still. This will cost so much..."

"Shh," she pat his back, "you can sort that out later. Now, let's just focus on gathering what y'all need."

He nodded and crouched down do examine a fish.

Kashi giggled. "A fish in your living room. How bizarre!"

Witty smiled. It was humorous.

From upstairs, Winter yelled with aggravation. Kashi and Witty looked at each other and shrugged.

Another car pulled up. Two car doors slammed. Lady and Bwhyte walked in holding masks.

"Here, the air can poison you," Lady held out masks for Kashi and Witty.

"Thanks," they said.

"I'll go take these to the others," Bwhyte held up more masks and jogged upstairs.

He found Snek and Draxr digging through a stack of bills. They took the masks with half-smiles and turned back to the papers.

On the top floor, Neko helped Winter gather essentials (I think that's the word I wanted to use ???).

"Masks, so you don't die of some airborne infectious disease," Bwhyte held out the last two masks.

Neko raised her eyebrow at his word choice. Winter shrugged and took a mask.

"C'mon, we can't have another sick person." Bwhyte made a sarcastic pouty face.

"But I've been cured," Winter added.

"Can't be cured if you're dead," Bwhyte glanced at Winter.

"Can't be sick if you're dead," Winter shrugged.

"Aye?" Bwhyte smiled.

"Aye!" Winter slapped Bwhyte's back.

The two laughed. Neko rolled her eyes and took the mask. It was funny though.

.llll..llll..llll.

Back at the non-flooded house, it felt more cramped. All the guest bedrooms had at least 20% less space. And the living room always had people in it. The bathrooms were the worst. With two bathrooms, between eight people, it was terrible. But it was organized chaos. One bathroom was for the men, the other one for the ladies.

Even though everyone in the house were friends, they still argued.

(Before you read this next part, please don't get upset. It's just a plot.)

The worst argument happened that night. Witty, Kashi, Lady, Winter, and Bwhyte sat in the living room. The television was off.

Kashi and Lady sat on the floor, doing a puzzle on the coffee table.

Bwhyte sighed and shook his head.

Lady raised her eyebrow at him. "Tired?"

He shook his head. "No." After a few minutes, he shut his laptop.

Kashi put two pieces together. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," he frowned.

Lady sighed now. "I noticed you've been up really late. You take day naps too much."

"Yeah?" He cocked his head up.

"Yeah. It isn't healthy. It makes you slower," she kept her eyes on the puzzle.

"What's it to you?"

This time she looked up. "It's makes you moodier."

"I'm fine."

Lady shook her head.

Winter put down his phone. "Look at you. Sunken eyes, headaches, dizziness. You're a walking zombie."

"It's better than being a hypocrite."

"Hey..." Witty said.

"What did you just call me?" Winter stood up.

"A hypocrite." Bwhyte sneered.

Winter glared at him with anger.

"Yeah, don't think we can't tell what you've been doing. Staying up until you're body forces you asleep. It's 'not healthy!'"

"What I do is none of your concern."

"Well then what I do is none of your concern!" Bwhyte yelled.

Witty rubbed his head. "Guys, please-"

"It's just not healthy!" Winter blurted. (I suck at this.)

Bwhyte stood up. "I can do whatever the hell I want! And you're one to talk."

"C'mon guys, stop," Lady said.

Bwhyte remained silent.

"That's what I thought," Winter smirked.

"Oh shut up and stop being a brat."

"Hey!" Kashi snapped at Bwhyte. "You two need to chill."

"Shut up? Shut up!" Winter screamed. "If you want me to shut up, then just go!" He pushed Bwhtyte back.

Witty and Lady stood up. "That's enough! We're friends, so act like it!" Witty put himself between them.

Lady took a deep breath.

"Oh what now?" Bwhyte gestured to her.

"What?" Lady breathed.

"Yeah, you too, nuisance!" Bwhyte yelled.

Winter stepped forward. "Leave her out of this."

"Of what? Your little tantrum?"

"Excuse me?"

"And you're the worst," Bwhyte pointed to Lady, "you think you're like the mother of us. Well no, we're not boys and girls."

Witty pushed Bwhyte towards the door.

"It's crazy! She thinks she's the boss of me like some adult! Adult my ass, look at her! What an insecure little nuisance."

The room went silent. Lady's shoulders began falling.

Kashi stood up and held her. "No, Lady, no. Don't cry. He didn't mean that. You're all just stressed..." she cooed.

Witty blocked Bwhyte from them. "What the hell?"

Bwhyte shook his head. "I- I don't know..." The last thing he said before he was pushed outside was Winter's dissapointed face.

(lmao idk how friends fight) (oh, no hurt feelings?)

.llll..llll.llll.

Bwhyte sat on the patio, holding his head in his hands. The front door opened. Two people say on either side of him. Silence.

"I snapped..." Bwhyte began.

"No, I did. I shouldn't have approached it like that," Winter said softly.

Bwhyte sat up and looked at him, frowning. "I'm sorry."

He nodded. "Me too."

"Coffee?" Lady held up a mug of steaming liquid in front of him.

He half-smiled for a second and took it, nodding as a 'thank you.' After a few minutes, he spoke up again. "I didn't mean what I said. I guess, none of us did. But I was disrespectful."

"Yeah," Winter agreed.

"I'm also sorry I made you... cry," he said, facing Lady.

"It's fine," she awkwardly smiled.

"Is it really?"

"Yes, it is." There was assurance in her eyes.

Bwhyte smiled and reached his arm around her to give her a half hug. He sat down his coffee and gave Winter a manly/awkward hug with the other.

"Wow you suck at hugging," Lady said, taking a sip of her tea to stop a laugh.

He sighed. "I know."

Winter whistled and stood up. "We cool?"

Bwhyte slapped his hand. "We cool."
