Kings of Hawkings [bxb]

Chapter 14

Jonas and Hugh waltzed into the dorms, still amused by the incident at the cafe, exchanging smirks and playful nudges. As they entered, they were taken aback to see Travis, Jaiden, and the other Kings crowded on the couch, their faces illuminated by the dim glow of a phone screen. The group was so engrossed in whatever was on Travis' phone that they didn't even notice the door opening or the playful banter between Jonas and Hugh.

Jonas and Hugh exchanged curious glances, their curiosity piqued. They silently approached the group, their footsteps muffled by the carpeted floor. As they got closer, they could hear snippets of familiar voices and the unmistakable sounds of their recent encounter at the cafe. Jonas and Hugh peered over the backs of the couch, realizing with a mixture of shock and amusement that the Kings were watching a video of the very showdown they had just orchestrated.

The video captured every moment, from Jonas' calm demeanor and deadly threat to Hugh's confident grin and final taunt. Hugh leaned in closer, whispering, "When did they start recording?"

Jonas shrugged, a smirk playing on his lips. "Trust St. Vincent's to always have a camera ready."

The Kings on the couch were completely engrossed, reacting with laughter and cheers at the dramatic moments. They barely noticed Jonas and Hugh's presence until the two couldn't contain their own chuckles, giving away their position. The sight of their friends reliving the cafe scene and the absurdity of the situation made it impossible to stay quiet.

The room erupted in laughter as Jonas and Hugh joined their friends on the couch, watching the video replay with a newfound appreciation for their own theatrics. The camaraderie in the room was palpable, a reminder that, despite the chaos and danger, they were a team bound by loyalty and shared experiences.

They stopped talking as they heard Jonas' voice in the video, offering a magic trick.

"Abracadabra, motherfucker."

A loud crash.

"Tada!"

The boys on the couch were cracking up, tears streaming down their faces as they replayed the cafe showdown. Jonas and Hugh shared a laugh and moved away from the sofa, light-heartedly shoving each other towards the kitchen. They grabbed a couple of drinks from the fridge and piled their homework on the table, settling in side by side.

Hugh and Jonas sat close together, their shoulders brushing as they worked through math problems. Their earlier adrenaline rush had given way to a comfortable atmosphere punctuated by the occasional nudge or shared glance.

They tried to ignore the boys on the couch, who kept replaying the video of the fight at the cafe. Every few seconds, another burst of laughter erupted from the group, drawing curious glances from Hugh and Jonas.

Every time they replayed the video, the room filled with a mix of disbelief and amusement. The scene where Jonas delivered his "Abracadabra, motherfucker" line became an instant classic among the group, eliciting fresh waves of laughter each time.

Sam wiped his eyes. "I swear, I never thought Hugh would meet his match in outrageous antics. They are hilarious."

Travis giggled. "They are basically soulmates."

Millan had his head in his hands, shaking with mirth. "I can't believe Jonas kept a straight face through all that."

Jaiden, still laughing, managed to gasp out, "Did you see the look on that guy's face when he realized who he was dealing with? Priceless!"

Rodgers, attempting to catch his breath, shook his head. "We probably shouldn't let them out by themselves again."

The others all voiced their agreement.
