Role-Swap

"Hey look, it's the Order of the Losers!"

"Uh-oh." Axel leaned in whispering, "Don't look now but here comes trouble."

"Don't worry guys."

"They're coming this way!" Olivia stressed.

Lukas hefted a big sigh, before turning around on his heel and forcing his best smile, "Hey Aiden what's up?"

"You losers actually trying to build a second year?" Aiden scoffed, coming to a stop just shy of the trio.

"What's wrong with that?" Lukas asked, crossing his arms.

"You always lose," Maya laughed, "Why bother?"

Aiden looked down at Lukas's foot, "Got you're rat I see. What the hell is wearing?"

"He's not a rat Aiden!" Lukas warned, kneeling down to pet his companion, "Basil is a cat! He's our mascot, it's a costume for Ender-con and someone has to wear one."

The orange tabby meowed in confirmation.

Aiden rolled his eyes, "Pretty lame if you ask-"

"Hey guys come on, knock it off. We got a build to start."

Lukas felt his face heat up, and he casually stood back up. Keep it cool, keep it subtle...

"Here comes your girlfriend," Axel teased.

"She's not my girlfriend," Lukas whispered back.

Jesse walked up, her black leather jacket enhancing her pale complexion and dark hair. She elbowed Aiden, "Leave them alone and get building."

Aiden mumbled something then retreated taking Maya and Gil with him. Jesse gave Lukas and apologetic look, "Sorry, Aiden can be a pain sometimes."

"That's putting it nicely," Axel mumbled.

"Axel," Olivia warned.

If Jesse heard, she didn't show, "I like Basil's costume,"

"Oh um," Lukas stammered, "Thanks, uh, Axel made it."

Jesse nodded, impressed, "It looks good. Hey -"

"Builders! Get ready to begin!" The announcer's voice cut through the bustle and the hustle of the crowds.

"Looks like it's about to start," Lukas said,

"Yep," Jesse stuck out her hand, "Good luck?"

Lukas took it, "May the best team win."

She smiled, "Careful what you wish for," her eyes sparkled.

Olivia and Axel pulled back to their booth; "Lukas come on!" the former called.

"Be there is a sec!"

Jesse watched them go, "Sorry about earlier," she whispered. "No hard feelings?"

"None whats-so-ever."

"See you at Ender-con? No matter who wins?"

He nodded.

Everyone was busy and rushing about, determined to win the competition. No one paid the pair any attention. Jesse casually pushed back a strand of hair from her face, "Well..." She leaned up, having to get on the tips of her toes and gently kissed his nose, "Good luck!"

Lukas kissed her cheek, "You too."

"Jesse!"

"Coming guys!" with a whirl of hair and a wink, Jesse returned to her group. He lingered a second longer then Lukas returned to his.

"Dude you're blushing," Axel said.

Lukas tore into a box, "It's hot out."

"Dude..."

"What?!"

Axel was grinning, "You have lipstick on your nose."

Lukas went scarlet, hand reaching up to cover his face.

"BUILDER'S!"

Olivia was laughing, "I knew it! I knew you two were seeing each other!"

"S-s-shhhh!"

"ON YOUR MARKS!"

"Man, I am never gonna let this one go!"

"GOOOO!"

No more time to tease, Lukas and his gang rushed forward, determined to win. From the corner of his eye, Lukas saw Jesse. She smiled and laughed. She saw the whole thing. Lukas smiled, and let his hand brush across his nose, lipstick residue came off on his fingers. Lukas laughed and laid down the first block.

So much for being subtle.
