"Yeah?" Josh asks as he opens the door. "Oh you two are cute." He says and I glare at him.
"I literally hate you." I say as Ben walks in, forcing me to follow behind him.
Ben rummages through his suitcase so I stand next to him, my hand on his back. He stands up after a minute with a t-shirt and flannel pants.
"Okay let's go."
"Help," I whisper at Josh who just smiles from his bed. Ben walks into the bathroom and I reluctantly follow him. He pauses and turns.
"This is gonna get weird."
"No shit Sherlock." I say, rolling my eyes and turning around, letting him keep his hand on my shoulder.
After a minute he taps my back and I turn back around.
"I gotta wash my face and stuff." He says and I just nod, not saying anything. I leave my hand on his shoulder as he does his night routine. We walk out once he finishes and he throws his old clothes on his bed, glaring at Josh.
"I hope you know that we're gonna get you back for this." I say as we walk out, Ben nodding in agreement. I open the door to my room and walk in, setting the key card on the table before forcing Ben to go into the bathroom with me.
"What are we doing?" He asks as I close the door.
"I gotta pee." I say quietly and his face pales slightly. "You should just be glad I'm not on my period." I say, making him nod fervently with wide eyes.
He turns and covers his eyes with his hands. I let my foot touch his as I use the bathroom. I wash my hands once I finish, Ben's hand on my shoulder. I quickly wash my face, take my contacts out, and brush my teeth before we walk out. Mel's asleep so I turn the tv off before Ben and I awkwardly get into bed together.
We lay on our backs, the backs of our hands barely touching above the covers. I turn around after a few minutes, letting my right leg touch his left. I feel him shift to face the other direction, his leg still touching mine. His breathing slows and I roll my eyes, cursing him for being able to fall asleep.
After about half an hour of listening to his breathing mixing with Mel's I slowly fall asleep.
The next morning Mel wakes us up, telling us that people were having the buffet in the hotel lobby and that we were invited. I sit up, making sure to keep my hand touching Ben's. He sits up next to me and we stretch at the same time before glaring at each other. We carefully get out of bed and I grab my glasses. We follow Mel down to the lobby.
"Do you know if they have waffles?" I ask Mel who shrugs as the elevator doors open. We walk out and see everyone standing around, plates in their hands.
"Hey love birds and Mel!" Josh says, a little bit of shaving cream on his face, and I roll my eyes.
"Shut the fuck up Joshua." I say angrily, still upset that he made us do this.
"Why are you two holding hands?" Wren asks as Ben and I make our waffles, neither of us looking at each other.
"Because Benji got lost yesterday. We're doing this to make sure we don't lose him again." I tell Wren who nods and runs off to her mom.
"Really? I got lost?"
"Do you want to try and explain it to the tiny child?" He doesn't answer and I nod. "Mhm, yeah, that's what I thought."
We walked over to where Josh and Sky were sitting with another table pushed against it. We start eating, our feet touching so we could focus on the food.
