Chapter Text
“Now I know you’re cheating, you fucker!” Henry screeched, flopping backward on the bed, and throwing his arm over his eyes.
“It’s not my fault that you’re complete and utter shit.” Walter grinned, laying back beside him, knocking his shoulder into Henry’s. The problem is, he’d greatly overestimated how much of Henry’s body was actually on the bed.
He went tumbling onto the floor with a surprised squawk, frantically scrambling for something to grab onto, which just happened to be Walter’s arm.
“Hey!” he screeched, slapping the wall in hopes that they’d remain on the bed, but Henry was already mostly on the floor and there was no going back. Walter tumbled onto the floor, landing on top of Henry and effectively knocking the breath out of both of them. They were both silent for a moment, panting before they both burst into laughter. They both groaned through their laughter as they tried to get up, which only ended in them rolling until Henry was on top of Walter. And then they were wrestling. They were arguing and laughing and rolling around on the floor until, finally, Walter ended up on top of Henry, pinning his arms to the ground.
And then, suddenly, it wasn’t funny anymore. Both of their eyes widened when they realized the position they were in, their laughter dying in their throats.
They both jumped when there was a loud knock on their door, both of them scrambling to their feet and away from the other, putting as much distance between them as possible before August burst in.
“I just had half the boys on this hallway come bang on my door because everyone heard you two morons screaming. I don’t want to have to come back down here to deal with you again. Understand?” he threatened, raising an eyebrow at them when they nodded like bobbleheads. “Good.” he mumbled before shutting the door again.
It was silent again for a few more moments before Henry and Walter finally looked at each other again. Walter cleared his throat, quickly looking away before settling back on the bed.
“Come on. I’ll give you a rematch.” he grinned, offering Henry his controller back. Henry laughed and shook his head before sitting back down beside Walter.
“I’ll play if you promise to stop screaming.” he joked, nudging Walter to the side.
“I’m pretty sure you were the one screaming and calling me a fucker.” he teased, turning the volume down on the game before starting it up again.
“They really should make these walls soundproof.”
