Family Night

"Did you see that?!" Aiden anxiously demanded of his audience. He was in the midst of playing a video game; a gory, psychological horror one at that. He quickly swiveled the camera to look back at the mirror he'd passed on the screen...only to discover that the bloody, disfigured ghost he was so sure he'd seen was no longer staring at him through the mirror. "That was so fucking creepy. Oh my God!"

Up behind Aiden, Sora grinned with wicked glee as to his left, Vin slid his arm through Sora's and gave a slight wiggle in excited horror. They had been eagerly awaiting tonight; eager to watch Aiden play and see what shenanigans they'd all get up to as a family.

"Oh, I saw," Vin replied to his son. Aiden gave a slight shudder and then smirked, glancing at him his shoulder. "Did you get this far in the game yet?" Vin shook his head and grinned. "Not yet!"

On the other side of the couch, Aiden's younger brother sat silently, paused halfway bringing a cookie to his mouth. Aiden glanced over at him and laughed. "You okay, Toxi?" Tox jumped slightly, then looked at Aiden and laughed awkwardly. "Oh yeah! I'm good!" he exclaimed before popping the cookie into his mouth. Vin laughed and replied, "At least you're not as bad as your other dad. He hides behind his hands every time he watches anything horror." This caused all three boys to laugh!

From the kitchen came Cormack's voice, "Don't be having fun without me!" Vin smirked and raised his voice and called back, "Then get in here already so we can pick on you in person!"

"Bitch!"

"Ass!"

Aiden, Sora, and Tox all snickered at their antics before Aiden began to resume playing the game. "Okay, here we go. Moving past the mirror..."

it was about thirty seconds later that Aiden anxiously made it to a new part of the level. As the game finished loading up, it autosaved. Vin chuckled, "Uh oh. Autosave. Never a good sign." "I know!" Aiden lamented, sighing and leaning back against his boyfriend's legs for a moment before shifting forward and focusing. "Okay, I can do this." Sora snickered, "You totally got this, Babe."

It didn't take long for Vin's prediction to come true. All of a sudden, there was a ominous music playing indicating a boss fight. Aiden groaned and felt his body tense as he became even more hyperaware of the game. Up behind him, Tox murmured, "Oh fuck..." "Corry, you're missing the boss fight!" Vin called out to Cormack. "Okay! I'll be right there!" he called back.

Sora sat there between them all, staring at the screen, then glanced slowly down at the back of his boyfriend's head. A mischievous smile spread across his lips as he lifted his hands slightly. Should he do it? Did he dare? Oblivious to Sora's plotting, Aiden gave a scoff as he found a long, grotesque trail of what appeared to be intestines that was leading to the apparent boss fight. "Okay, the music's getting louder. Oh fuck...Oh God. Is that a- no, not gonna say it."

"Okay, I'm here!" Cormack said as he made his way into the living room. However, his progress slowed as he took a good look at what was on the screen and he felt slightly grossed out. "Is...is that a-" "Don't say it! And yes, that is what it looks like," Vin confirmed, slightly grossed out as well but clearly enjoying the horror of it all!

Cormack leaned over the back of the couch, holding the tray of popcorn he'd prepared for everyone as he dared to continue staring at the screen. "Oh that is disgusting..."

Sora glanced over at Tox who was staring anxiously at the screen, then ahead at Aiden who was tense, anticipating whatever was coming...

"Do it," Vin whispered in Sora's ear. Beside him, Vin grinned and squeezed his arm before pointing ahead to show Aiden, "Oh look, see that...no, go back. Yeah, over there." Sora smiled evilly and lifted his hands slightly, anticipating when to make his move.

Aiden nodded, not daring to tear his gaze from the screen as the lights began flicker, steadily staying off longer and longer... "Fuck, where's the- HOLY FUCK!"

All of a sudden, he felt Sora's fingers poke him in the back of the shoulders, causing him to scream and jump in terror! Sora and Vin burst into laughter as Aiden fought to catch his breath as he laid there flat on his back, staring up at his family. Cormack and Tox stared in shock, popcorn half knocked over and dumped all over Sora which only caused Vin and Sora to laugh even harder! It was only a moment later that Cormack and Tox began laughing. Finally able to breathe again, Aiden couldn't help but join in at the family shenanigans! But oh he was gonna kill him. Later.
