Thirty-Four: Shaken

Tess's world had become one surrounded by bars, metal above and on every side of her. She was cold, couldn't seem to escape it, shaking to her very bones and only able to create the smallest of heat by making a makeshift blanket by tearing some of the floor which consisted of newspaper. Wrapping the paper around her shoulders like some kind of scarf, it didn't even seem to make a dint in effort in helping her keep warm. She had cried all her tears, had nothing left in the tank. Now as she sat in her cage, stomach crying out for food and throat so dry it began to feel like a dessert. Swallowing, she tried wetting her lips with her dried tongue, looking to her water bowl that was a murky brown and clearly hadn't been changed. She'd rather die of thirst before she took a droplet from that thing. While Lenny was away at training, she was left with who appeared to be his girlfriend, Josie. She was a little dim, Tess having watched her as she dressed and stumbled about the room on clumsy feet, seeming to be living with Lenny as she already had clothes in his cupboard for her to change into, having to climb over the mounds of clothes and pile of water bottles that were left on the ground

Did Lenny have no parents? She hadn't heard an adults voice in so long or seen any evidence or appearances from a parent the entirety of her stay. Someone who could save her from this horrible room, anyone would do. She hoped Darrick or Jace were planning to rescue her, were already on their way to take her away from this hell hole. Josie tried talking to her every now and then, asking her name and if she was really dating Darrick and telling her the gossip at school. Josies voice only put Tess in a bad mood, frowning and sinking in on herself the more she spoke.

"Like he's really hot [darrick]. I've heard he's got a big dick too. Have you seen it? Surely you have~ literally I don't think he's ever dated anyone before" Jose spoke to Tess as if they were best friends, as if she wasn't keeping her locked in a cage, as if she hadn't witnessed Lenny kidnapping her hours before and tormenting her.

"He's really smart too~ once a month he goes to these like special classes that's meant to be this big secret but everyone knows. Ive seen him go into the office and he'll just like disappear for a whole day with a Tutor.." Tess noticed Josie would twirl her hair as she spoke, looking at her phone and sometimes to her hands as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. Tess frowned a little as she was learning more about Darrick from Josie compared to all the time she'd spent with him, never had she heard any mention of these special classes. She knew he was smart but didn't know he was top in a lot of his classes.

"I heard rumours that he's rooting the principal for extra marks... wouldn't surprise me, all his friends are horn dogs. Especially that Austin~ I swear he tries to get with every girl he lays eyes on" Josie scoffed and Tess winced at her words and her heart hammered in her chest, trying to block out her voice and trying to not believe her. Darrick wouldn't do that, he wouldn't. He wasn't that type of boy! On the other hand she fully believed what she said about Austin, not surprised that was a well known feature of Austins personality

In all that time Tess couldn't find herself uttering a single word, instead staring to her feet as she huddled together in a small bundle trying to keep herself warm with her makeshift newspaper blanket and arms. Still simply wearing her lingerie from when Darrick and herself had spent the night together. Closing her eyes she let herself think back to the night, the warmth of his breath, his soft lips pressed against her body. The thoughts made her cheeks warm and she curled closer to herself, trying to reminisce in the memories of Darrick. The lines of his hands and groove of his jawline, how he'd make a little smile to himself after every kiss.

"Hey! You don't talk much huh~" Tess startled from her thoughts as she heard the giantesses voice, loud in her ears and making her eyes snap open up through the bars of her prison to see Josie leaning forward in lennys bed to come face to face with Tess. Tess cowered back, surprised by the sudden close proximity between the two "If I take you out will you talk to me?"

Tess was shocked by her words and sat staring for a second longer then she should've without a response, not knowing whether this was an evil plan to get Tess to come out and be tormented or if this was a genuine question of a girl wanting someone to talk to. Turning away she moved til her back pressed further into the cool bars of her cage as if trying to disappear from beneath the giants gaze. She felt safer in her cage, felt comforted having something separating herself and the giantess

"I'm not like gonna hurt you, I'm not like Lenny. I promise, I can't even hurt bugs... I~ I could make you something to eat before Lenny gets home if you come out.. practice doesn't end for a while, we have plenty of time" Josie spoke quickly as she pulled back, grabbing her phone quickly to check the time on her Home Screen. Giving a quick nod, she turned back to the cage and began to unlock the door. Tess's eyes widened and her heart began hammering, watching the giantess without warning reach inside to try and retrieve the small human relentlessly. Tess felt her insides startle and her eyes widened, quickly scrambling back from the grabbing hand on her hands and knees to avoid being taken out of the cage. Tess couldn't help but let out a scream as her large hand came near, brushing her side and causing her own small hands to instinctively raise over her face beneath the shadow of the outstretched fingers. Tess waited, expecting to be grabbed and dragged from the cage, only for the large hand to cower away suddenly from her tiny form and retreat back out from the cage

"Sorry! Did I do something wrong?" Tess slowly let her eyes peer through her shaky fingers hearing the worry in Josie voice, seeing Josies shaped brows drawn together and lips pursed. Tess shivered and quickly hugged herself, letting her eyes fall down to her feet feeling extra small and incredibly uncomfortable in the presence of this girl. Tess could feel tears in the corners of her eyes before beginning to nod, yes she did something wrong! She tried grabbing her! Lenny did something wrong, by kidnapping her! Everyone had done something wrong! Her mother did, for bringing her to the Giants sector. Austin did for allowing other giants over for a stupid party!. Tess did herself wrong, for not fighting for her life and being so weak.

"Don't touch me~" Tess finally whispered, her voice wavering and a hot tear streamed down her cheek. She saw Josie shift uncomfortably from outside the cage, seeing the girl frown and cross her hands in her lap like a small child getting caught being naughty and been scolded

"I'm sorry~" Josie frowned and turned her eyes away up toward the ceiling, then down to her hands, avoiding eye contact at all costs. Tess didn't care if she'd offended the giantess, didn't bother even looking at her "I'll.. I'll just go make something to eat for you.." Josie said quickly, looking guilty and frowning as she climbed from off the bed and hurried out of the room to disappear further into the house .

Tess wiped at her eyes quickly and sniffled, watching as the girl disappeared from the room. She could hear the giantess banging and rummaging around outside, opening and slamming cupboards and drawers. Tess didn't care for the giantess, instead eyeing the cage door that had been left carelessly open for the tiny to escape from. Was this her chance. Inching slowly onto her feet, her breath hitched as she cautiously stepped across the length of the cage to stand near the opening to peer out, trying to make little to no sound. Was this her chance, could she actually use this moment to escape! Looking down onto the desk bellow which the cage sat upon, it was a easy step down for her to jump out of. Looking quickly to the giant bedroom door, in case the giantsss had managed to silently slip inside without her noticing, she quickly took hold of the chance to hop out of the cage and step down onto the smooth surface of the desk.

She felt a rush of adrenaline, heart pumping and muscles readying to make a mad dash. Now on the desk she was finally able to see the entirety of the ground which was strewn with more clothes, rubbish and a few alcoholic cans and bottles. Scrunching her nose, it looked as if a garbage truck had back up into Lennys room and dumped its contaminants onto the bedroom. Looking away from the mess, she lifted her head trying to figure out how she was meant to get down. She spotted the small window of Lennys room, a possible escape hatch seeing it was slightly pushed open to allow air to flow into the room . The open door, another exit of escape. Her eyes turned down then toward the ground that dropped far below before her, probably a couple of stories. Swallowing tightly, she came to the realisation that escaping would be far more difficult then expected. Especially with her hurt arm and size, she didn't know how she'd scale down something so high.

"Oh your out? Good! I found donuts which you can have and juice" Tess startled out of her skin as she saw the giant girl reappear into the room with a plate of food and cup. Josie hurried over, large feet thudding on the ground before sitting down upon the bed before her and placing down the plate before Tess to reveal two gigantic cinnamon donuts and a cup of OJ. Tess stumbled back from the plate that was placed almost atop of her by the giantess, her face red and heart pounding feeling her fear relapse realising the position she was in and what it appeared to look like, did the giant girl realise she was trying to escape.

"Don't be so scared, jeez. I really am not gonna hurt you, here have this" Josie said, oblivious to Tess's plan of trying to escape as she pulled a large chunk of the donut off to hand to the smaller girl, making Tess grunt as she held out her hands to hold the chunk, groaning with such a large chunk of food in her arms she let it fall before her. Sitting back, Tess felt uneasy being so close to the giant girl who began eating, hesitating as she watched the giantess chew, unsure if Tess were about to be grabbed as she wiped the large hunks of sugar from her arms. Tess allowed herself to take a second longer to take her first bite from the donut, unsure if this were actually an offering of peace. But while she contemplated starving herself she knew she couldn't resist, not having taken a single bite until her stomach gave in, giving a loud growl and forcing her to reach out to pull off a piece of the sweet treat.

"Thank you.." Tess murmured finally as she chewed, savouring the sweet dough of the desert and eating more til she filled her stomach, not knowing when she'd be able to eat next.

Josie couldn't hold back the large smile that came onto her face, wiggling a little on the bed seeming proud of herself that she'd managed to get a word out of the tiny human "your welcome!" Josie hummed sweetly, bringing a full sized donut to her mouth to nibble on, watching the small human with curious eyes the entire time they ate together

~

"Oh that's probably Stef"

Tess watched as Josie got up from the bed all of a sudden after hearing a knock at the front door, leaving Tess sat upon on the pillow while the large girl left out of the room, Tess watching wide eyed as the door inched closed behind the giantess. This giantess really had no clue..

Tess had been talking.. well more like made to sit with Josie on the bed for however long, she couldn't tell. The giant girl appearing to be somewhat lonely, speaking relentlessly of what was on her mind. Didn't seem to take a second to breath as she blurted every thought that came to her. Josie even began petting Tess at some point; playing with her hair and curling it around her finger. Tess had tried to move away but was simply guided back by the giantess hand unable to escape. Tess wanted to shout at her to leave her alone, but it appeared that Josie could be a way to escape this hell hole since she was appearing to warm up to Tess a bit.

Tess having been placed upon the pillow after their little meal together, had made her considerably sleepy now with a full stomach and she nearly drifted asleep multiple times to the giantess's stories but was rudely awaken by the girl poking at her with a large finger to make sure she hadn't fall asleep. Tess for some strange reason, even if she were annoying and somewhat narcissistic, Tess found herself not minding Josies company, reminding her somewhat of Jace with how she spoke so passionately and her large smile. Tess found herself frowning whenever she thought of Jace, wondering how he felt and what he was thinking, or if he even knew she was gone.

Josie had mentioned her friend Stephanie was coming over for a quick visit amongst her endless blubbering. Tess could only imagine what Stephanie was like if she were to compare her to Josie, probably be as gorgeous as the giantess that held her captive or even prettier. Everyone in the giant sector having features similar to a model.

As the giantess left, Tess hurried to climb to her feet, immediately beginning to search for a way to escape as she was left by herself on the bed for a few minutes. Hurrying over to the edge of the bed, she looked around desperately for a way to get down. She could use the blanket to slide down to the ground, maybe use the electrical cord to help her climb down and make a run for it beneath the bed. Looking to her arm she froze in realisation that her plan to escape probably wouldn't work as her arm still continued to throb painfully. Whimpering she panicked hearing girls voices approaching, looking to the ground far bellow, she wondered if she could just jump for it and risk hurting herself even more and maybe make it.

"She's in here, see! She's cute isn't she?" Josie reappeared from behind the door, making Tess stumble back onto the mattress to not look suspicious of trying to escape. Josie didn't seem to notice and hurried over, scooping up the small human in cupped hands before sitting down to show off her new pet. Tess gasped loudly as she was so easily grabbed and petted by large fingers, her heart sinking in her stomach as she was brought to Josies cheek to be smushed against, seeming to be snuggling the tiny human sweetly like one would to a cute puppy. Tess winced as her arm was pressed on, trying to squirm away from the giantess to escape the onslaught of cuddling. She couldn't escape, couldn't even move as the giantess was too powerful while she happily held the tiny girl.

"Is it like your pet now or something.. ew have you bathed it? It looks dirty" As Tess was pulled back she could see another giantess standing by the doorway looking similar to an angel, golden hair draped down over her shoulders and softly curling along the ends. Her body was immaculate, something to be admired on the cover of a bikini magazine. Curves in all the right places, skinny with a large chest that was hugged by a small pink top paired with a little white skirt and white sneakers. Tess flinched as Josie lifted Tess to her eyes and looked over her body, making her blush and squirm uncomfortably beneath her giant gaze.

"No~ I didn't think I needed to.." Josie said, flipping Tess over in her hands to look over her body. Tess squirmed trying to escape the grasp, grunting in the giant girls hands trying to push her wandering fingers away while her cheeks warmed as her rear end was evaluated by the giant girl like she were a baby.

"Yeah babe.. ~ so this is the rat that was living with Austin?" The large blonde girl smiled as Josie nodded and moved into the room finally to sit down closer, reaching for Tess and grabbing her in a firm fist making the small human Yelp in pain. Compared to Josie she was incredibly rough, holding her in an a tight hand unlike Josie who loosely cradled her body whenever she held Tess.

"Let me go!" Tess grunted out and squirmed madly, kicking her legs and using her good arm to hit at the giants manicured hand. She was frustrated and annoyed at this point, being grabbed and made to do what ever giants wanted, even from the beginning she'd been poked and prodded and held like she was no little more than a doll or toy. With an angry burst of energy she thrashed and squirmed, trying to madly escape the confines of the giant hand but to no avail. Her anger would come like an impossible build up of steam, burning her on the way out, burning the hand that held her on the receiving end by receiving furious hitting and kicking. She knew, every time her hand would hit or kick, she knew Stephanie deserved it. There was an explosion within her, without shame as she shouted in frustration.

"I've never seen a human so feisty before" the blonde muses as she continued to hold Tess, simply smirking at the tinies helpless struggling. This only made Tess angrier, her face burning redder then hot coals of a fire and she tried throwing daggers up at the girl with simply a glare

"LET ME GO!" Tess shouted but quickly turned to almost a whine, not meaning to sound upset but couldn't help it as her eyes glassed over as she looked at the large blonde who simply smiled in return with amusement. The giantess's eyes were large like two diamonds and was blessed with features like a model, high cheek bones and full pink lips that turned up at the corners as she admired the tinies futile attempts at pleading

"Very talkative too" Stephanie hummed and instead of releasing the human continued to inspect the small girl, beginning to turn her in her hands as she were admiring a small doll. Tess felt as the giantess ran a large finger down along the stretch of her back, tracing her shoulders and playing with her matted hair that still smelled of the beer that had been tipped over her the night before and sticky from being sucked on like a piece of candy. Tess shuddered at the thoughts, picturing Lennys mouth before her made her feel sick to the stomach. She hoped she'd never get the chance to explore any further.

"She hasn't spoken this much all morning.." Josie watched Stephanie, pursing her lips as the giant blonde began prodding at Tess some more. Tess felt her skin become raw with skin rubbing against skin, being held and touched so much was making her skin sensitive and dry. No matter how much Tess moved or squirmed, Stephanie managed to hold her still as if she knew how to handle a wriggly human. Tess huffed, frustrated and in pain. It didn't make it any better as a pain shot through her chest, a large thumb pressing down into one of her breasts and making her squeal in response. Squirming madly in the giantess grasp once more, she tried slapping at her thumb as if it would do anything to help.

"Don't touch me, you perverted bitch!" Tess shouted in rage, that was the breaking point of her patience. At that moment, she was blinded by a five-course serving of rage that tasted bitter. Tess reached out again and went to punch the girl in the hand. Her fist came in contact, only hurting her own fingers in the process. She soon regretted her choice of action as instead the giantess face twisted in what could only be recognised as pure anger, a wrinkle forming in the giant billboard sized forehead And cheeks burnt red.

"How dare you speak to me like that!" Stephanie hissed, her fingers squeezing around Tess's ribs cage like a python would it's prey, writhing in pain before Tess found herself feeling ~weightless~ The world rushed by in a blur and she knew the pain was coming. It goes by fast, yet slow, almost suspended as she screamed into the air, bodying twirling head over heels. Then impact. Tess felt her bones move in a way they shouldn't, jangled as she bounced upon the surface a few times. She doesn't move - anything to delay the part where she would see where or what she'd landed on after having been tossed carelessly into the air by the giantess. Shed landed onto the mattress bellow, face first atop of her arm.

"Stephanie! Be careful, she's fragile" Tess heard Josie but couldn't bring herself to look up as her world was still spinning, head pounding along with her arm. Tess felt sick, tasting the donut she'd eaten from earlier in the back of her throat and bile burning her tongue. Letting out a low groan, she was scared she'd finally broken her already hurt arm as she lifted herself up off her injured limb. Tess let out a low cry, trembling like a shaken leaf as her breath became stuck in her chest, unable to suck in a single beautiful breath of air, leaving her wheezing helplessly between the two giantess's above

"What? It called me a bitch I~"

"What the fuck is this Josie!" There was a loud bang, like a door opening violently and hitting a wall "I thought told you to not take it out of the cage!" The three girls jumped as the voice of the familiar giant white haired boy filled the room, Tess was unable to bring herself to look up, but could still picture his crazed eyes and nostrils flared in the back of her mind as he looked down on her tiny body, knew as she could feel his eyes burning into her shoulders like hot pokers. Tess felt her inside drop and she immediately crawled to the safety of Josie, hiding against the side of her thigh as if she were a safety blanket; knowing at least the giantess wouldn't torture her compared to if she were in the hands of Lenny. Why did he have to come home. Tears were in her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath, clutching onto her arm as if it may snap off her body at any second

"Baby! I~" Josie stammered "she's been really good, I swear. She's kept me company all morning while I was alone" Josie stumbled for words and looked a little worried now herself as she spoke to Lenny, reaching down to the human and scooping her into her large hands like a mother bird. Josie brought the tiny girl to her chest, cradling her close even if Tess squirmed against her, feeling claustrophobic and still recovering from being so carelessly dropped. Tess in that moment felt like just closing her eyes, to fall asleep and never wake up. Her heart beat so loudly in her ears, could feel blood rushing from her head and into her toes.

"I don't care, it could have escaped! They're evil little things, it's probably just using you~" Lenny snapped at Josie, hearing a loud crash of something come from the boy beyond the confines is Josie a hand "Also what are you doing here? You better not be trying anything. If you want the human you'll have to pay up like everyone else" Lenny spoke at a volume that could've been shouting, too loud for Tess's ears and rumbled inside her brain. Pressing the palm of her hand to her temple she could feel her heart throb in her fingertips.

"I don't want your second hand human, if I want one I can easily get one by myself. Besides~ I only enjoy the male ones." Stephanie hummed, standing up beside Lenny so that she could look down on him being considerably taller than the boy. Tess didn't care or see, instead squeezing her eyes shut as she sat trembling in the giantess closed hands.

Tess shuddered in josies hands with every word and tried curling into herself to hide from any light, feeling her heart thrumming like a scared little rabbit about to go into cardiac arrest. The fear sits on her like a heavy pillow over her mouth and nose. Not enough air gets in, surely not enough to keep her body functioning, it were as if she were shutting down.

"Then bugger off, would you! give it to me, it can't think this is okay to be allowed to be out and able to roam around" Lenny spoke and Tess felt her world move around her, unable to control her world anymore as Josie's fingers were pried open by another's to reveal her small half naked trembling form in the centre of the girls palm. Tess shouted as she was grabbed within the hot hand, trying to grasp onto one of Josie's finger a for dear life but was easily pulled away. Once again she began madly thrashing, kicking and pushing to escape but was simply squeezed, knocking the air from her lungs as she was brought up away from the giantess. Tess's mind felt fuzzy, feeling more and more disconnected from being able to control her breathing. Unable to control her limbs, that were held so tightly that they could snap any second

"Josie!" Tess couldn't believe the words that had found themselves in her mouth as she cried out to the giantess, a desperate plea while wincing in the grasp of Lenny as he squeezed the breath out of her further and further til she may faint.

"Shut it, I know what your kind is like, probably plotting an escape as we speak. Don't listen to it, Josie. It's trying to manipulate you and how soft you are." Lenny grunted as he watched the wriggling human, eyebrow raising at her helpless struggles, so weak in the monstrous hands "you can put that energy to good use~ I have somewhere a little more secure and fun" Lenny smirked as he looked to the two giant girls and slowly his hand lowered with the tiny human still clasped within his fist.

Looking down she felt the colour from her cheeks drain further til she was the colour of a ghost, seeing as she was held above the boys waistband, panic setting in as his other hand reached down to pull up his shirt then fingers slip down hook into the opening of his trousers. Her breaths became ragged and she pushed at the fingers that wrapped around her waist, no no no no! Slowly he pulled open the waistline of his pants to reveal the depths to his boxer shorts and it's contaminants. Tess felt every nerve and muscle in her body tighten, her face and ears burning hot as she peered down into the dark abyss of his underwear and what it held. She screamed, the sound ripping through her lungs as she tried kicking and thrashing trying to escape her doom that waited eagerly bellow for her.

" No ! No don't put me in there! anywhere but in there please!" Tess didn't know what else to do but beg, she didn't want to become the boys play thing, didn't want to be anywhere near his dick! Didn't want to be placed in his underwear and made to pleasure him like some slut. It was humiliating, degrading and inhumane! She couldn't believe her life had come to this, a sex toy to a giant teenage boy. Kidnapped and enslaved, she couldn't help but start crying as she couldn't help but wish death upon herself in that moment. Quick and easy, she'd rather it then to be a sex slave to Lenny for the rest of her sorry small life. "Please! No!" He didn't listen, instead lowering her down deeper til she could feel the heat of his body radiating against her cheeks and her nose scrunched at the musky smell.

"Babe~ " Josie pleaded over the tinies crying.

"Shut up. Let me have my fun, Josie" Lenny growled above but Tess couldn't hear him over her own screams.

Just as she felt his fingers loosen, nearly dropping her to her doom the group froze as a loud knock echoed about the house, making Lenny freeze and pull the human away from his awaiting underwear. Even though it appeared she had escaped from the eager underwear prison, she couldn't stop the sobs that suddenly shook her body from relief, head slumping and shoulders shaking within the giants hands feeling so weak she couldn't even bring herself to open her eyes.

"Who's that? Did you invite another one of your stupid friends?" Lenny snapped and just like that allowed his pants to close, the sound smacking against his skin made her shake with relief as she was instead lifted up and quickly shoved into her cage, hurrying away to curl into the corner, finding comfort in the small confines of the cage and not in the hands of the giant

"No I don't know who that is.. "

~~~

[A U S T I N]

His heart felt like a wild bird trapped within a small cage, fluttering around in his rib cage in desperation to escape. Standing before the door, he shifted on the spot feeling uncomfortable, nervous, scared and beginning to rethink his decision. Standing before Lennys house was intimidating beyond means, he felt like just running away, hurrying back to his car and leave Darrick and Tess behind. Not to mention his face was hurting along with his side, throbbing from a little interaction with Darrick after trying to chase him down at practice. Taking a slow breath, he raised his hand slowly to the door, hesitating for a second to look toward the lump in his pocket of his track pants. He knocks. There was a reason why no one ever came to Lennys house, why the boys never stayed over or came to visit. Ever since Lennys parents had passed away, Lennys home had become something similar to a fun house. No rules, no authority. No parents. Just Lenny.

It didn't take long for the door to swing open, Austin stepping back a little as Lenny appeared in the doorway before him, his hair wiry upon his head and eyes wild. Austin swallowed tightly and forced a smile onto his face, moving to step forward casually but instead Lenny brought up his hand to block him, pressing a firm hand onto his chest to stop his path.

"What are you doing here.." Lenny said slowly, Austin feeling his heart thrum in his chest beneath lennys fingers as the white haired boy cocked an eyebrow up to Austin suspiciously. He knew Lenny wasn't just about to let him inside, knew he'd be cautious whilst having a human in his home: would take the utmost care in who he trusted in his home whilst illegally holding a human captive.

"What? I just wanted to come see it. Come on Lenny, you don't think I'm seriously that stupid do you?" Austin chuckled and gently pushed Lennys hand aside, taking another step closer to try get through the doorway but Lennys hand instead came up again quickly to hold the Backnott captain back once more. Austin gave an obnoxious sigh and roll of his eyes "I know you have the human, come on let me see." He whined, pouting with amusement written in his eyes

"You haven't got darrick lurking anywhere in the bushes, do you? Is this some kind of ambush? Cause I'm not falling for it" Lenny hovered on his top toes, trying to peer around Austin's frame within the doorway as if trying to spot Darrick hiding somewhere behind him.

"No! Why would you think that, I think it's funny that you got her. Finally, I can have some peace and quiet without dad looking over my shoulder every two seconds" Austin let out a chuckle, smiling largely as he looked down at Lenny who didn't look convinced

"Hm~You seemed to be on Darricks side earlier~ whats with the sudden change of heart?" Lenny crossed his arms, cocking his head to one side as he looked Austin up and down as if sizing him up. Austin shifted on his feet, trying to smile through his nerves and loosely shrugged his shoulders. Slowly slipping his hand into his trouser pocket nervously

"Pfft~ you think I care? I was just trying to convince him to not do anything stupid to be kicked off the team. I can't loose one of my best players" Austin rolled his eyes and brought a hand to rest on Lennys shoulder "we can't carry the entire weight of the team by ourselves now can we?" Austin winked, squeezing Lennys shoulder trying to convince the smaller boy anyways possible. Knowing boosting his ego was the way to his heart.

Lenny.scoffed and shrugged off Austin's hand, "Darrick can't play for shit, he can't even defend properly, too much of a pussy" Lenny smirked and gave a chuckle as he stepped aside, finally allowing Austin entrance into the den of the beast "I know I could win the season for us if I got into a forward position" Lenny smirked as he talked about himself, always seeming to talk himself up in any situation. Austin gave a chuckle as he stepped inside, pausing when his eyes fell onto the two girls standing in the living room. He couldn't help but groan beneath his breath and roll his eyes, of course Stephanie was here. Could his day get any more interesting?

"Hey Austy" Stefanie smiled slyly as she sauntered over, moving to wrap her arms around his neck to pull how down into a hug. Austin shifted uncomfortably, moving his hips back consciously to avoid her body pressing into his leg, very aware of the small bulge in his pocket. Instead resting his hands on her sides, he tried avoiding hugging her all together, instead deciding to try side step out of her arms but found himself trapped in almost a head lock by the blonde.

"Hey Stefanie.... hi Josie, what are you two doing here?" Austin patted Stephanie shoulder a few times, trying to coax her out but eventually had to pry himself out of her grasp, moving over to the living room with a stumble to stand beside the other girl, looking down to Josie seeing her playing with the ends of her dark locks between her fingers while Stephanie hovered nearby

"Oh~ no reason, just visiting Lenny~" Josie smiled gently, her eyes turning away to the ground shyly. Austin cocked a brow, eyeing Josie as for the first time in.. ever had he seen Josie so quiet. He could tell something was wrong, could see how she shifted on her feet and eyed the bedroom door.

Lenny rolled his eyes as he came between the two, "he knows you live with me, Josie. Don't pretend~ only Stephanie is visiting and it appears she has overstayed her welcome" Lenny grimaced toward Stephanie who glared back, pushing back her blonde locks over her shoulder before falling down into the couch stubbornly.

"I'm here to see my friend Josie, not you" Stephanie raised a brow at Lenny before her eyes drifted toward Austin, biting lightly at the corner of her lip as she eyed him like a piece of meat. Austin shuddered beneath her hungry gaze and turned his attention away, still able to feel her looking at him with how intense she was staring. Who knows what she was thinking.

Lenny rolled his eyes and grabbed onto Josie shoulder then to guide her to sit down onto the couch by Stephanie. Josie did as told and sat down, cupping her hands into her lap and looking away to the ground, still quiet and looking smaller then usual by the way she curled in on herself. Lenny eyed his girlfriend for a long second, appearing to read her mind he slowly leant down to lean on his knees, trying to grab her attention by leaning his head forward with a light smile. When Josie didn't meet his gaze, he frowned and quickly raised a arm to clasp her face in one hand, roughly lifting her face to meet his eyes, squeezing his fingers so hard into her cheeks that it made her lips pucker "stay here while I show Austin the human, don't move until I come back. Okay? Don't cause anymore trouble"

Josie nodded quietly, but seemed to flinch with every word, avoiding eye contact with Lenny as he held her face in his hand for a long minute. Lenny smiled once he appeared happy with her response and leant in to lightly press a kiss to her puckered lips, pulling back to stand tall beside Austin, who tried to hide the disgust from his face as he looked down at Lenny with a tight smile.

"Follow me!"
