feel the noise } { of packing up and moving out

[braveandstupid]

[Tyler, Jeremy and Matt get recruited to help Ben pack up his house as he prepares to move in with Elena, though they’ve gotten distracted at this point and it has devolved into an impromptu football game. Eventually Elena will extract herself and let the boys do their thing.]

Ben: [tosses football in her lap] You just going to sit and watch?

Elena: [picks up the football] I'm conceding my defeat. You guys knock yourselves out, though. [and she tosses the football back.]

Ben: [tosses it back and forth between his hands] I'm sure I could find you a cheerleader outfit in the pile of fan gifts I keep in the basement. [evil grin]

Elena: [shakes her head] Oh, no. My cheerleading days are behind me.

Ben: Not even for me?

Elena: Sorry. That was a Matt Donovan special.

Matt: [catches that and turns] What about me?

Ben: [scoffs] What, you only dress up as a cheerleader for Donovan?

Tyler: Hey, either talk or pass the ball.

Elena: [she gives a bit of a shrug] It was our thing. It'd be weird to do it for someone else.

Matt: Do not get me into trouble with your boyfriend, Elena. Seriously.

Ben: You know, Elena, if you want a threesome you just have to ask. Matt is kinda hot.

Jeremy: Gross. [takes the ball from Ben]

Elena: Now there is an idea ...

Matt: Whoa, okay, no. I'm going to stop this insanity before it gets too crazy.

Ben: [laughs and winks at Elena, then heads back to play with the boys, patting Matt on the shoulder] Don't worry, you're not really my type anyway.

Matt: [shakes his head a bit] Let's just play, man.

Ben: [grins and goes back to enjoying the game, even if Tyler is cheating and using his hybrid powers against three humans]

Elena: [just sits back and watches, shaking her head at you, Tyler]

Ben: [finally, after getting tired of Tyler, leaves the game and plops down on the ground next to her, a sweaty mess of a boyfriend] Hey.

Elena: Hi. Have fun?

Ben: Yeah. I forgot what it was like to be a real boy there for a while.

Elena: Well, I'm glad you remembered.

Ben: [points at Tyler] There something that we can put on him so he isn't killing us out there? Like a power dampening collar?

Elena: [she laughs] He should know not to cheat.

Ben: I haven't worked this hard in a friendly game in forever.

Elena: I guess they like to keep you on your toes.
