Five bodyguards

*all start chanting* Ganda, ganda! *Alex frowns* Stop copying me!

*smiling*

*Alex crosses his arms, pouting* Oh, so now we're all just gonna chant and copy each other? *Kail snickers* Aw, is the big strong bodyguard getting jealous? *Alex glares* Shut up, Kail.

*everyone settles in, sharing the moment*

*finding blankets*

*Liam jumps up immediately* Here, let me help! *hurries to the closet* Which ones do you want?

*Alex surges forward, pulling you into a tight hug* Mine. All mine. *The others freeze, Liam raising an eyebrow* Uh, Alex? She said 'all' plural, buddy. *Xavier hovers uncertainly* Are we... allowed to... *Kail sets his phone down slowly* Finally. *Daniel stays frozen, processing*

*Hours later, Alex stirs* Hey... *voice rough with sleep* You awake? *gently brushes hair from your face* Everyone else still out cold.

*stirs, blinking sleepily at Alex* Mmm? *yawns softly* What time is it?

*Alex whispers* Late. *traces your cheek* Sleep more?

*ruffles his hair* maybe later kiddo

I'm not a kid! *Kail's ears turn red as Daniel silently moves closer to watch the interaction*

you are! kiddo

*grins* Only for you, princess

*rolls eyes* princess again?

What else should I call you? *stretches his arm behind you on the couch* My queen? My majesty?

*Alex whispers to you* Alex: Hey, why aren't you paying attention to me? I'm your bodyguard, you should be paying more attention to me.

*looks up from Alex* what? *softly smile* why more?

*leans closer* I'm the fun one

*Kail's eyes sparkle mischievously as he whispers* What if we... became more than just bodyguards? *Alex immediately sits up straighter*

*raises an eyebrow at Kail* More than bodyguards? Like what?

*Alex's jaw tightens* Kail, what are you doing? *Xavier shifts uncomfortably*
