Karaoke night

John and Alexander were sat on the sofa, watching a nature documentary when Lafayette threw the front door wide open.
"Quit the snogging and look at this!" he exclaimed proudly, practically jumping across the living room.
John and Alexander both blushed furiously, but Lafayette thankfully didn't seem to notice. The two weren't officially together, yet. The French boy was totally oblivious to what his comment had caused though, and simply threw a packet onto John's lap. Printed across the box in bright pink letters was "Singstar".
"It's karaoke time, peoples!" Lafayette laughed. Without waiting for their response he ran across the living room to Hercules' room, and barged in through his door.
The two boys on the couch shared a questioning look, but didn't say anything. This was Lafayette after all.

After a while of muffled arguing Lafayette emerged with Hercules behind him, the former grinning widely and the latter looking extremely annoyed.
"I have work to do," Hercules grumbled. He looked over at the couch as if hoping John or Alexander would help him escape from Lafayette.
"You've spent hours on that design project, ami"
"It's true man," John added. "Take a break"
Defeated, Hercules threw his hands in the air and walked over to the sofa.

It took them a while to figure out how to install the game, but after a bit of help from Alexander - the only one who actually read the manual - they finally managed it. Lafayette triumphantly held up two connected microphones before turning to the others.
"Rules are easy, you sing when there's text on the screen and the one with highest points win. Loser does the dishes tomorrow!"
His statement was met with groans of protest from the others, but no one argued.

"I vote for John to go first," Hercules said while flipping through the available songs. He stopped at the cheesiest love song of them all.
"Hey look, this one's perfect"
The others laughed, while John blushed and gave them a look that could've killed a man.
"I am not singing!"
"Aw come on Turtle-Boy"
"No, I suck at it!"
"Pleease John," Alexander looked at him with his best puppy eyes. "I'll be player two if you do!"
Unable to say no to that, John took the mic from Lafayette - though admittedly while muttering about how much he hated all of them.

He actually wasn't a bad singer, and ended up beating Alexander with twenty points. Alex punched him on the arm, but still laughed. John grinned at him in return and flicked his nose before grabbing the remote to choose a song for Hercules and Lafayette. Clearly set on revenge, he picked the hardest one.
"Damn you, Laurens," Hercules muttered.
Lafayette just stared intensely at the screen.

Poor Hercules didn't stand a chance. He got through his parts well enough, only stumbling a little on the fastest raps. But Lafayette was a force of nature. He nailed every single bar, and didn't even blink as he scored perfect after perfect. John and Alexander could do nothing but watch in stunned silence.

Once the song ended - and Lafayette had dropped his mic on the floor - Laf turned to Hercules with a grin.
"Better luck next time, mon cher!"
Hercules flipped him off in response.

As the night progressed the karaoke got less serious. They ended up choosing the silliest songs they could find, and basically yelled out the lyrics. None of them bothered to check the time, and they might have continued until dawn, if it weren't for their neighbours. Following a particularly intense rap battle between Alexander and Lafayette there was a shout from someone with a heavy southern accent.
"WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Once they had regained their ability to breath and made sure Lafayette wasn't choking on laughter the boys decided it was time to call it a night.

Hello person! I hope you enjoyed this. I plan on doing a couple of these one shots/shorter stories, as an addition to my story "New roommates at 2 am". (If you haven't read that I suggest you do, as most things here propably won't make sense otherwise but hey, you do you). Updates will propably be a bit irregular as I have a lot of tests and homework coming up, but I hope I'll be able to post somewhat often. If you have any comments or critisism, please tell me, I appreciate it a lot. Take care people!
