Xena
I woke up from the uncomfortable feeling on my back, I open my eyes a bit and soon realised I was in the living room. Archer still deep asleep.
I look up to see if everyone else’s was till asleep but no one was in the room except for Archer and I.
I got out of Archers hold on me and stretched while standing up. I look at archer for a bit and smiled. His face was buried into the side of the sofa and he looked peaceful in his sleep.
I walked to the kitchen and I stopped dead in my track. Right I front of me was Brie, Felix, Cam and Owen all in the kitchen. But what shocked me was the mess in the kitchen. There was flour on the floor and in Brie’s and cams hair. Owens and Felixs hair looked wet.
“What the fuck did you guys do?!” I ask them walking in the room.
“You might now want or walk over—” Owen starts to say pointing at something on the floor.
But I was already on the group, I fell and slipped on something weird and gooey.
“Ew ew ew, what was that” I say looking at my foot
“Egg…” Felix says while he picks up a piece of his hair and smells it, he puts on a disgusted face before glaring at Brie.
“tout est de ta faute … mes précieux cheveux” Felix grows and pouts.
(It’s your fault… my precious hair)
“What the fuck did you say?” Brie ask bluntly looking at Felix in confusion.
Brie might have taken french since she was a freshman but that doesn’t mean she understands.
“It’s your fault. You ruined my hair” Felix rolled his eyes.
“You can always just wash it off, plus I’ve read that egg is good for your hair” Cam shrugs. I was just watching them while I was still on the ground.
“Xena?” Archer walks half asleep, he starts walking up to me.
“No don’t. There’s—” Before I could finish my sentence Archer slipped but he was fast enough to hold onto the edge on the counter. Knocking off the flour from the island counter and landing on my hair.
“Archer!” I groan and stand up.
“I’m so sorry baby, it was a mistake—” I took an egg from the carton and smashed it on his head with a small smile on my face.
“Well…” Owen looks at Archer then at me with a shrug.
Archer narrows his eyes at me and goes to crab another egg from the carton but I turned away from him and started to run. I was about to fall and slip in the same place that I slipped on before but Archer held onto my waist preventing me from falling.
“Wow, carful Xena” Archer says
“Thanks” I sigh but then he smashes the egg on my head.
My hair…
“Okay, okay. I recommend that we stop right now before it becomes into another food fight—” Felix starts.
“Oh it’s on” I narrow my eyes at Archer before I grab the flour that was on the floor and I dump it on his head.
“Here we go again…” Felix mumbles to himself
“Oh come on!” Archer groans and lets go of my waist. I walk quickly behind Brie and Cam.
“You know we won’t be able to protect you right” Cam turns and looks at me.
Just then I saw Owen sneaking up behind her and smudging a bit of what looked like pancake batter on her cheeks from behind.
“Owen! Stop!” Cam turns and glared at him but all he did was give her a toothy smile.
“Crackheads” Felix mumbles to himself.
“What did you say?” Brie and I turn to look at Felix
“Amazing… talented people…” Felix covers up.
I saw Archer creeping up on him from behind and I let out a small smile.
Archer then dumps a spoon of the pancake batter on Felixs hair.
“My hair!” Felix turns and glares at Archer.
Aww… What a cute couple.
Felix then shakes his hair and the pancake batter comes flying at Archers face.
I burst out laughing and Archer then snaps his head to me.
“Yeah? You think this is funny? I’ll tell you what’s funny” Archer says running up to me but I was already off running away from him.
Archer being the athletic person he is he was catching up to me.
I then went behind the island counter. Archer on the other side. He ran to one side I ran to the opposite.
But then he jumps over the counter and I take off once again trying to run away from him. But Cam holds be back.
“Cam! You traitor! You’re supposed to be on my side” I yell while Archer smiles and smears pancake batter on my face.
“It wasn’t fair. You only had four on your hair” Cam shrugs
I narrow my eyes at her before I hear footsteps.
Dad…
I look around and see the mess we made. Only god can save me now.
“Xena? Is everything okay?… oh” dad walks in and stops once he sees the mess we made. It was Sunday so he didn’t have work.
“Hello Mr. Wright” Archer smiles
“Morning Archer” my dad smiles and then looks around the kitchen.
He then breaks into a smile.
Wait, what?
“I don’t really care. As long as you clean it up” Dad shrugs before walking back upstairs.
“You’re dad is so chill. I love him” Felix smiles and looks at me.
And I’m grateful for having a chill dad.
“Well, we better start cleaning” Archer says before ruffling my hair, flour falling out fo my hair.
“How did this mess even happen?” I turn and look at Cam, Owen, Felix and Brie.
“Well… you and Archer were sleeping. And we decided to make pancakes…” Brie smiles sheepishly.
“Alright then… let’s start cleaning” I shake my head a smile on my face.
After around an hour and a half we finished cleaning the whole kitchen.
“How about I make the pancakes while you guys go take a shower” Archer says looking at us.
He was the only one who knew how to make proper pancakes. I would have made them but they’re not as good as Archers.
“There are 5 bathroom so us five can take a shower then once one of us is done Archer can go for a shower. Is that okay with you Archer? Should I help making the pancakes?” I ask him, I felt bad. I should help him make the pancakes.
“Yeah that’s fine, you don’t need to help. I like making them anyways” Archer shrugs with a smile.
We all nod and Archer went to the kitchen while we all went to the different bathroom. I ask my dad for some of his clothes and hand them to Owen and Felix. Brie and Cam borrowed some of my clothes.
“Can I wear this hoodie? It looks comfy. When did you get it?” Cam says holding onto Archers hoodie I had from before.
“You can’t take that one, it’s Archers. Plus I’m going to wear that” I smile and grab it from her hand.
Cam laughs and then once they picked out the clothes they got out of my room heading for one of the bathroom.
I shut my door and got into my bathroom, I took a shower and tried making sure that everything was out of my hair and that I didn’t smell like eggs.
Once I got out of the shower I opened the door to the bathroom and entered my room, my towel wrapped around me.
“Sweet baby Jesus. Archer! Do you not know how to knock” I hold onto my towel.
“Oops, my bad. I came here to tell you that the pancakes are ready and that everyone is already downstairs” Archer shrugs. He didn’t look the least bit apologetic.
“Okay, I’m coming. Now out” I point to my door.
“I need to take a shower” Archer smirks standing up from my bed and walking closer to me.
No thank you. He’s coming now where near me when I’m just in a towel.
I side stepped him and walked to my walk in closet but he holds onto my wrist.
“Then go for a shower” I smile innocently. I know what he’s doing. And I know he knows that I know what he’s doing.
“Damn. I just wanted a kiss” Archer pouts and looks at me.
I roll my eyes and step closer to give him and peck. He smirks and kisses me back and just as he pulls away he tugs lightly at my towel in a teasing way and then runs to the bathroom and locks the door almost like he was scared I’ll scream in his ear.
I did scream.
“Hey!” I yell and then roll my eyes at the closed bathroom door before I changed and got out of the closet in some cozy shorts and Archers hoodie.
I put some of my dads clothes on my bed for Archer before leaving my room and closing the door behind me.
I walk down and I saw everyone else was already eating. Only a few pancakes left.
“Hey! Leave some for Archer and I” I say.
“Oops I forgot, it’s just… it tastes so good” Owen says his face shoved with pancakes.
“Hey! Stop that” Felix and Brie say at the same time.
Right they still can’t taste yet.
“You’ll be able to taste soon. Don’t worry guys” Cam says winking at them both.
Owen was about to take another pancake but I swatted his hand away.
“That’s for Archer and I” I say and sit down, once I took my seat we all started talking I picked two pancakes and started to eat them, there were three left and those were for Archer.
After some time Archer walked down the stairs in the clothes that I had put on my bed.
“I made 14 pancakes… there’s only 3 left” Archer laughs and sits down taking the remaining pancakes.
“Owen ate them” we all point at Owen.
Owen gasps dramatically and puts a hand on his chest in shock.
“Did not” he says in a high pitched voice.
We all talked and ate at the table before we all headed to the living room, we all ended up sitting where we were sitting yesterday.
Archer and I were snuggled up close, Cam and Owen sitting near the bean bag and Brie and Felix snuggling on the other sofa.
We were all watching The Lion King and from the corner of my eye I saw Felix talking to Brie. She had a huge smile on her face and it looked like she was trying not to laugh at whatever he was saying.
They’re really cute together.
I can’t wait till they find out their soulmates.
Well… I’m not sure if they are soulmates but I really really hope they are… it’s a gut feeling.
I turn back to the movie and rest my head on on Archers chest, I could hear his heart beat it was slow and even. I drew patterns on his stomach for fun and I couldn’t help but notice his heart beat fasten.
It’s actually funny how much I affect the Archer Howell.
