Eraser and Pen are growing bored of waiting for Two to start the next challenge, so they start giving each other mini challenges until eventually these challenges turn more personal.
Pen and Eraser make out, but it isn't gay!
. . .
During the downtime between challenges, contestants often find themselves struggling with boredom while waiting for Two to cook up another competition. Eraser and Pen, in particular, were sitting idly at a picnic table, racking their brains for something entertaining to pass the time. Last week, they had a blast playing wingmen for Tennis Ball, helping him confess his feelings to Golf Ball. That adventure kept them busy for quite a while! However, now that Tennis Ball and Golf Ball are officially dating, their wingman services are no longer needed, leaving them back at square one, trying to come up with a new way to amuse themselves while they await the next challenge.
Pen hummed as he tapped his fingers on the table, brainstorming ideas while Eraser slouched with his hand on his cheek, looking utterly bored.
"We haven't had a challenge in a while... this is so boring!" Eraser complained.
Pen sighed. He hated seeing his bro so bored and wanted to help him pass the time. "Is there anything I can do to entertain you? Maybe we could create our own challenge?" Pen suggested, tilting his head.
Eraser raised an eyebrow, looking at Pen with curiosity. "Like what?" he asked.
"Well... we could take turns giving each other little mini-challenges. That way, we won't get bored!" Pen proposed, feeling confident about his idea.
Eraser smirked and shrugged. "Heh, I'm in! I'll go first!"
He looked around for an idea, realising how challenging it was to come up with something on the spot. Now he kind of understood how Two must feel crafting challenges. His gaze landed on a nearby tree, sparking an idea.
"I challenge you to climb that tree and backflip off it!" Eraser exclaimed, pointing at the tree.
Pen laughed, sliding off the bench and cracking his knuckles. "Too easy!"
After a few quick warm-up jumps, Pen sprinted toward the tree. He ran up the trunk, executed a perfect backflip, and landed on his feet with his hands in the air. "Ta-da!" he cheered.
Eraser clapped, genuinely impressed. He hadn't expected Pen to be that skilled.
"Wow, good job! That was more impressive than I imagined. Alright, your turn. Give me a challenge!"
Pen's cheeks flushed a light blue at Eraser's praise, feeling a warm glow from the compliment.
"Yeah bro! I'm the parkour king!" Pen bragged with a bright smile. "Okay, your turn! Let's see..."
Pen glanced around, then lit up with an idea.
"Ooh, got it! I challenge you to do 15 push-ups in one minute!"
Eraser laughed, slipping off the bench and stretching his arms behind his back. Did Pen take him for some kind of wimp?
"That's all? I can do that easily!" Eraser bragged as he got down on the ground and started doing push-ups, looking unfazed as if it were nothing.
Pen watched with admiration for his best friend, amazed by Eraser's strength. He always knew Eraser was strong-stronger than him, at least-but seeing him in action was thrilling. He couldn't look away. Pen shifted down onto the picnic table, continuing to admire his bro.
"Damn, you're strong!" He glanced at his watch, eager to see how many push-ups Eraser could complete in a minute.
"Heh, of course I am," Eraser bragged as he continued doing push-ups. "How much time do I have left?" he asked curiously.
"You've got 20 seconds!" Pen called out.
Pen smiled as he watched Eraser, thoroughly impressed. Seeing Eraser do push-ups so effortlessly fascinated him. He couldn't take his eyes off his friend, mesmerised by the way his muscles flexed with each movement. Pen's cheeks flushed a light blue as he rested his hand on his chin. He always found his best friend attractive-how could he not? But something about watching him work out like this made him seem especially hot. Was it normal to find your homie this attractive? Surely it was.
Eraser looked a bit tired but kept going. He wanted to impress Pen and couldn't let him down. The way Pen was watching him with complete awe? He would feel terrible if he disappointed him.
"I got this!" Eraser declared.
Eraser continued doing push-ups until he finished. When he got up, he looked a bit tired but proud of himself for completing the challenge so quickly. He was sweating and huffing to catch his breath. Pen couldn't take his eyes off him, his gaze sparkling with admiration.
"Whoa..." Pen clapped, truly amazed by Eraser's strength. "You're so strong, bro! Do you train?"
Eraser chuckled as he sat back down, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"If by 'train' you mean messing around in the gym doing push-ups and lifting weights for hours to pass the time, then yes, I do." Eraser casually flexed. He wasn't sure why, but he wanted Pen to think highly of him. He liked the way Pen looked at him, how proud he seemed. It felt good, making his heart skip a beat. Not in a romantic way, of course-not at all.
"Cool... I could never be as strong as you. I mean, I do gymnastics, not gym workouts. I can do backflips, but that many push-ups? Impossible!" Pen laughed lightly, cheeks still flushed.
"I can teach you, bro! Like a personal trainer!" Eraser grinned. "But some other time. Let's keep these challenges going! They're so fun!"
Pen chuckled, smiling warmly at his friend. He always enjoyed hanging out with his homie.
"I'd love that! Alright, now it's your turn to give me another challenge!" Pen beamed eagerly.
Eraser smiled at Pen before he thought for a moment.
"Alright... I challenge you to... sneak a snack from the kitchen and bring it here discreetly. I'm starving!" Eraser chuckled.
Now this was a challenge. Sneaking into the kitchen? Four and X always got angry when people tried to steal food. But nothing Pen couldn't handle. Besides, he wanted to impress Eraser. He wasn't about to give up that easily.
"Oh man... you know Four and X are not gonna like that, bro! But I've got this!" Pen assured Eraser, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Pen slipped off the bench and stealthily made his way to the hotel. He squeezed through and quietly crept down the hall toward the kitchen, terrified that Four or X might catch him and zap him. Upon entering, he spotted Snowball inside, wearing a badge that read 'Assistant'. It seemed Four and X had given him a job to manage the kitchen. No biggie. Pen could easily slip past.
He carefully lowered himself onto the floor and crawled along the tiles behind the counter, keeping out of Snowball's sight as he was distracted playing a game on a DS. Moving swiftly, Pen reached up to the cabinet and swiftly grabbed a packet of chips before darting out unnoticed. He raced back to Eraser and proudly slapped the packet onto the table.
"Ta-da!" Pen cheered, beaming with pride.
Eraser chuckled as he looked at the packet, pleasantly surprised that Pen had actually pulled off the challenge.
"Wow, didn't know you had sneak 100 in you," Eraser laughed, taking the packet of chips and opening it.
"Yeah, bro, I'm the sneakiest sneak!" Pen gloated. "Anyway, my turn to pick a challenge... let's see..."
He paused, thinking for a moment before smirking. "I challenge you to mess with a contestant! And I know the perfect one. Snowball is guarding the kitchen right now, presumably until Four and X get back. If you can make him mad in less than 5 minutes, you win the challenge!"
"Hehe, you little weirdo! That's a fun idea! Alright, I've got this." Eraser slipped off the bench, setting his chip packet aside for the moment. He didn't think anyone would take it.
"Alright, go! Get started!" Pen urged him on.
Eraser stood up, stretching his arms and rolling his shoulders.
"Heh, don't have to tell me twice!" With that, he began stalking off into the hotel, determined to find Snowball.
Pen followed closely behind Eraser, eager to witness if he could complete the challenge. As they approached the kitchen where Snowball was stationed, Pen stayed back, hiding behind a wall to observe while Eraser confronted Snowball. It was always entertaining to see Snowball get riled up.
Eraser walked up to Snowball and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. He adopted a mischievous expression, already plotting how to annoy him.
"Hey," Eraser said casually.
Snowball looked up from his game and sighed when he saw it was Eraser. "Yes?" he asked with a hint of irritation, while Pen stifled giggles from his hiding spot.
Eraser placed his hands on his hips, a smirk spreading across his face as he started to annoy Snowball.
"What are you up to?" he asked, knowing his mere presence was enough to annoy Snowball, which Eraser found amusing.
"I'm waiting for Four and X to get back. I'm helping them guard the kitchen from idiots like you," Snowball retorted sternly. "Which reminds me... You shouldn't be in here!"
Eraser chuckled and rolled his eyes momentarily.
"Oh, come on. We both know you're not here out of the goodness of your heart. You're just here to score all the free food you can," Eraser teased.
"Nuh uh! There's no challenge right now anyway! What else am I supposed to do?" Snowball pointed out.
Pen continued to stifle laughter behind the wall, trying to remain quiet.
Eraser smirked, crossing his arms confidently.
"Yeah, so you're just waiting for the hosts to come back so you can sit here and do nothing, like usual? What are you actually doing? You're just sitting around and being lazy!" Eraser chuckled.
Snowball rolled his eyes, clearly getting annoyed but not enough to lose his temper and let Eraser win the challenge. "I do stuff, I do a lot of stuff!" he scoffed defensively.
"Oh yeah? Like what? Sitting around and being boring?" Eraser teased, hoping to push Snowball to the edge and make him lose his cool.
Eraser chuckled softly, watching Snowball's expression closely, eager for any sign that he might snap and give Eraser the victory in this challenge.
Snowball was growing tired of Eraser's random annoyance. He wasn't sure why Eraser was picking on him specifically, but he knew exactly how to shut it down. Placing his hands on his hips, Snowball spoke up.
"Well, at least I'm not sitting there slacking off with Pen. You two never take things seriously; you're always too busy giving each other googly eyes~" Snowball teased, confident that this jab would irk Eraser enough to make him go away.
Pen listened from his hiding spot, his cheeks flushing a light blue. What was Snowball talking about? They didn't give each other googly eyes, did they?
Eraser's eye twitched in annoyance, clearly ticked off by Snowball's remark.
"Excuse me? First of all, we take things plenty seriously. Second of all, me and Pen do not give each other 'googly eyes'," Eraser emphasised, mimicking the gesture with his hands. He had no idea what Snowball was talking about. They were best friends, bros-nothing more.
"Yeah, you do! All you do is talk about each other and barely talk to anyone else. And when you do talk, it's just to get on people's nerves! Like seriously, get off his dick, dude, you're obsessed," Snowball teased, doubling down on his playful jab.
Pen gasped, covering his mouth in shock as he listened. He wasn't prepared for this at all and didn't know how to react.
Eraser looked visibly more annoyed, narrowing his eyes at Snowball and clenching his fists.
"What the hell are you talking about?! Sure, we talk a lot to each other, but we're not obsessed with each other! We're just good friends," Eraser retorted firmly.
Snowball rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Good friends? More like boyfriends!" He laughed and smirked.
Pen's cheeks flushed darker. Were they really so close that people assumed they were more than friends? He felt a strange sensation in his stomach again, similar to when he watched Eraser work out. It made him feel uneasy, and he didn't understand why.
Eraser's eyes twitched with anger, looking increasingly upset and frustrated.
"Now you're just being ridiculous! We are not boyfriends! And even if we were, why the hell would it be any of your business, you prick?!" Eraser snapped sharply.
Pen wasn't sure why, but Snowball's words made him feel uneasy. His stomach churned at the thought of actually dating Eraser. His face flushed as he leaned against the wall, feeling his heart race and his breath quicken. He suddenly felt overheated, unsure if he really felt something more for his friend or if he was just panicking over nothing. He couldn't make sense of his emotions anymore. He had always thought their closeness was just how all best friends acted, but now he was questioning everything.
Snowball shrugged and laughed.
"Well, I guess it's none of my business, aye? But maybe you shouldn't go out of your way to annoy other contestants, and I wouldn't have to say anything!" Snowball explained, before adding, "But honestly, are you sure you weren't boyfriends? You two are practically inseparable." Snowball was almost certain if they weren't boyfriends that they definitely had a crush on each other.
Eraser's glare at Snowball intensified, his posture straightening with anger.
"Are you serious right now? Why do you always have to butt into our business? We can't even hang out without you making it an issue! No, we are not and never were boyfriends! I get that you don't like us, but seriously, why do you have such a problem with me and Pen spending time together?" Eraser snapped, his protective instincts for Pen kicking in.
"What!? I don't! You're the one who came over here trying to bug me while I'm working! I'm just giving it back to you! I couldn't care less if you want to be all over your buddy all the time," Snowball retorted, hands on his hips and smirking widely.
Eraser took a step closer, looking like he was ready to punch Snowball head-on.
"I've had enough of you! We are not boyfriends, you moron! We're friends, and we can hang out and talk to each other whenever we want! You have no right to get involved in our broship! You just seem to hate us and find any excuse to bring us down! So just shut up!" Eraser shouted.
Pen felt his nerves heightening, unable to bear the tension any longer. He peeked out from behind the wall and hurried over, grabbing Eraser's arm to pull him back from escalating the situation.
"Come on, Eraser... the challenge is over. Let's move on to the next one," Pen muttered urgently to his friend.
Snowball rolled his eyes and smirked tauntingly. "Aww, does your boyfriend have to come and save you?" he teased, enjoying the reaction he was provoking.
Eraser didn't resist Pen's hold on his arm. He looked visibly relieved that Pen had intervened before things got physical.
"Shut up, Snowball. Come on, Pen... Let's go," Eraser said through gritted teeth, following Pen away from the confrontation.
Pen sighed in relief that he had stepped in on time. Leading Eraser back to their spot on the outside bench, he sat down beside him. Placing a comforting hand on Eraser's shoulder, Pen spoke up.
"Snowball is just being a jerk, dude... Don't let him get under your skin," he reassured Eraser.
Eraser let out an irritated sigh, looking visibly annoyed and grumpy.
"Yeah, I know. He's always like that... Damn, I was so close to strangling him," Eraser muttered, clenching his fists tightly.
"I could tell... He really got to you. So technically, you lost that challenge. You were supposed to annoy him, but he ended up getting to you instead," Pen pointed out, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
"Ah, shoot... I almost forgot about the punishments," Eraser chuckled, not seeming too upset about losing the challenge.
He paused for a moment, pondering what kind of punishment would be fitting.
"Hmmm... Since it was your challenge, why don't you decide the punishment?" Eraser suggested to Pen.
Pen nodded in agreement, considering his options for a suitable punishment for Eraser's loss.
"Uh... hmm... How about you owe me a soda? Yeah!" Pen smirked slightly, thinking it was a fair enough consequence.
Eraser let out a groan, but a smile played on his lips.
"Really? A soda? Is that the best you can come up with?" Eraser teased lightly, implying he could handle something more challenging.
"Well, do you have any better ideas for a punishment? I don't want to be too hard on you, bro," Pen explained, feeling a bit guilty that Eraser had lost the challenge and wanting to keep the punishment light-hearted.
Eraser shrugged nonchalantly.
"I mean... how tough are you gonna make it?" he asked, curious about what Pen had in mind.
Pen raised an eyebrow, sensing a challenge in Eraser's tone. It sparked an idea in his mind.
"Hmm... It depends on how much you're willing to take," Pen replied with a sly grin, enjoying the competitive banter between them.
"Eh, try me," Eraser challenged, meeting Pen's gaze with a smirk. The competitive streak between them was palpable.
Pen formulated his punishment, feeling it was both clever and not too extreme.
"Alright... Your punishment is... you have to kiss me. Yeah! I bet you won't! You're too pussy!" Pen declared, cheeks flushing a faint blue as he put his hands on his hips, trying to play it off casually. It was just a penalty for losing, nothing more.
Eraser chuckled at the challenge, amused by Pen's boldness. His cheeks tinged with a light pink, but he remained composed.
"Heh. Alright, bet... You realise you're gonna regret saying that, right?" Eraser teased, raising an eyebrow playfully.
"Oh, come on, how bad could it be?" Pen smiled, scooting a bit closer in anticipation.
"And hey, according to Snowball, we're 'boyfriends,' so I guess it's the perfect punishment for this challenge, right?" Pen added, trying to convince himself it was all part of the game, even though he couldn't deny a strange excitement about the prospect.
Eraser chuckled, his gaze daring as he looked at Pen with that amused smirk.
"Hmm, you're right... It is the 'perfect' punishment for this challenge," Eraser cooed, wrapping an arm around Pen's waist and pulling him closer. He couldn't help but wonder about what Snowball had said, but he pushed those thoughts aside. This was just a challenge, nothing more.
Pen gently placed his hand on Eraser's cheek and leaned in, closing his eyes. Eraser's smirk widened as he watched Pen move closer. He chuckled softly, sliding his hand down to rest on Pen's hip, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Despite the teasing and the punishment, Eraser couldn't shake the thought that maybe there was something more between them. But kissing a guy? That was just a punishment right? It had to be, it wasn't like he was going to actually enjoy this!
Eraser took his time, savouring the moment. Pen, growing impatient, finally spoke up.
"Well... go on! You have to kiss me! It's your punishment, not mine!!" Pen's nerves were evident; he had never kissed anyone before.
Eraser chuckled softly, his hand gently guiding Pen's chin.
"Impatient, aren't we?" he teased, drawing Pen closer until their chests touched. Closing the distance, Eraser leaned in, his face now mere inches away from Pen's.
"What? Pssh... no! I'm not impatient..." Pen protested, his face flushed a light blue. As Eraser moved closer, Pen's heart raced faster, his breath heavy. He couldn't help but glance down at Eraser's lips.
Eraser chuckled again, noticing Pen's gaze on his lips. His smirk widened as he leaned in even closer, his lips hovering tantalisingly close to Pen's.
"Sure you aren't," Eraser teased in a soft whisper.
Pen struggled to maintain composure. He was desperate to kiss Eraser now, the anticipation and teasing were driving him wild. He pushed aside any thoughts of how unconventional it might be; he just wanted this moment.
"Eraser... come on... you're taking too long. What if someone sees?" Pen pleaded, his voice betraying his eagerness.
Eraser chuckled softly, his smirk still in place. He was clearly enjoying this teasing game.
"Heh... you are so needy, y'know that?" Eraser whispered teasingly. Their faces drew even closer, his breath now softly brushing against Pen's lips. He was thoroughly enjoying the playful banter.
Pen was about to protest being needy before the gap closed between them. They kissed softly, Pen melted helplessly into the kiss, enjoying every moment of it. Eraser chuckled into the kiss, finding it cute how much Pen melted into it. His grip on his hip grew a little tighter, pulling him closer so their bodies were pressed against each other. He then slowly moved his tongue across his bottom lip, silently asking to be let in. Pen whined and opened his mouth for Eraser, his skinny body trembling, he wasn't used to this.. it felt nice though.
Eraser purred, taking advantage of him opening his mouth, and slipping his tongue into his mouth, gently moving it against his own. Damn, how the hell was Pen so cute? It was almost adorable how he was trembling from the kiss. Pen whimpered softly into the kiss, feeling slightly overwhelmed by all the senses. His head was racing with thoughts and his stomach was whirling. He felt his breath so tight in his chest, this was overwhelming but in the best kind of way, he couldn't get enough of Eraser's delicious lips.
Eraser's smirk grew wider, knowing that he was the one making Pen whimper and melt into the kiss. He moved his tongue around his mouth more, taking in everything he could; his taste, his smell, everything about him. Eraser wanted- No, needed. More. He wanted more. He slowly started to move the both of them backwards, until he eventually had Pen pinned against the bench seat, his body pressing him up against the wooden seat. Pen squirmed a little, his breath so heavy, his body still trembling immensely. He felt helpless to Eraser's touch, he was fully dominated, laid against the bench as Eraser did as he pleased, this felt euphoric, a feeling that Pen had never experienced.
Eraser let out a slight growl as he felt Pen squirm underneath his touch, he had him right where he wanted him- Pressed up against the bench and completely at his mercy. He couldn't get enough of the way he squirmed and trembled, and of the sounds coming out of him. It was all so cute and just made him want even more. He moved his tongue around his even more, pulling away for a moment to gently nibble on his bottom lip before going back at it. As much as Pen was deeply enjoying this, he was fearful of being spotted like this. Nobody had seen Eraser and Pen like this before, it would come as quite a shock to most people, and Pen would rather not be seen so submissive in public... it was slightly embarrassing how easily he was dominated. Pen whimpered and moved his hands to push Eraser away.
"Someone is going to see us..." He whined at Eraser.
Eraser was pulled away from the kiss by Pen gently pushing on his chest. He opened his eyes to look at him for a moment before he gave a chuckle. He knew that he was right, and that someone could potentially see them... But, he wanted more. He wanted to have him completely in his control for just a little longer. He then pinned Pen's wrists against the bench on his sides, keeping him in place.
"Shh.. don't worry about it.."
He whispered softly, moving to his neck.
Pen whined, trying his best to conceal any noises, he was utterly and completely defenceless now with his arms pinned behind him, he had no way to move. He squirmed beneath Eraser, his body trembling even more, he felt so weak.
"Eraser... come on, I'm serious... we can continue this somewhere else okay?" Pen begged, fearful someone was going to spot them.
Eraser chuckled at the way Pen squirmed and trembled underneath his touch, finding it incredibly adorable how weak he had made him. He gently nuzzled his face into his neck, leaving a few gentle kisses on it before responding
"Fine, we can go somewhere else.."
He said with a huff, moving his face so it was next to his neck once again.
"But, I want one more thing before we go." Eraser asked.
Pen whined but nodded in agreement.
"Okay... what?" He asked.
Eraser gave a smirk.
"Beg for me."
He whispered, keeping his grip tight on his wrists, his hot breath hitting his neck as he spoke.
Pen whimpered, seriously? He wanted him to beg? That was so humiliating! He whined, his face flushed.
"Do I have too..? Haven't you made me look weak enough?"
He groaned.
Eraser chuckled, finding how he was groaning and whining amusingly.
"Yes. I want you too. You're already pinned down, your wrists pinned, face flushed.. and your body trembling underneath my grip. Yet, I want even more from you. I want you to beg for me." He demanded.
Pen groaned, he knew he had no other choice. He swallowed hard and closed his eyes feeling so embarrassed.
"Please Eraser... Please." He begs.
Eraser chuckled and smirked at how embarrassed Pen was. He could tell he was embarrassed and humiliated by having to beg him in this position, and he loved it. He loved the way he was squirming and whining just by his touch, and his begging. He loved it all
"Heh.. Good boy." He whispered as he left a few more kisses down his neck.
"Ah.. okay, come on now!! Let's get somewhere private... please?"
He asked again, his poor face flushed completely blue.
Eraser huffed and nodded, releasing Pen's arms and sitting up. Pen felt a wave of relief wash over him as he also sat up, looking dishevelled with his cap askew, flushed cheeks, and trembling slightly. He hadn't expected things to escalate like this over a simple challenge, but at least it beat being bored while waiting for Two's next challenge.
"You're such a girl," Eraser teased, slinging an arm around Pen's shoulder.
Pen scoffed and rolled his eyes, avoiding Eraser's gaze, still feeling a bit flustered and annoyed at having to beg for Eraser.
"Shut up," he grumbled softly, though a faint smile played on his lips.
"Heheh, alright! Come on, bro, want to find somewhere more private to continue our fun?" Eraser asked playfully.
"Yeah... I'd like that," Pen replied with a faint smile.
