The second the survivors got back from the round Elliot dragged 007 and Guest out of the main cabin. It did look strange to the others but they didn’t question it. After all they were in purgatory and it wasn’t the weirdest thing they've seen. I mean once the Spectre swapped 1x and Shedleysky’s personalities for a day. That wasn’t very fun. Having an angry swordsman with no place to attack is in fact not a great idea.
Even if they were all close to eachother there were things that not everyone knew. Even if most of them who were here were dead the causes of their death were not mentioned. They all respected each other's privacy and didn’t pry. They had been here so long that people were getting into relationships with each other. Cance and Mafioso sorted out the issue with their debt and have been happily together for a couple of months now. Two times and Azure got over the sacrifice and would meet up often. Unbenouced to others another couple had formed.
Elliot, Guest 1337, and 007n7 had gotten together sometime during the timve they’ve been trapped. It started slow at first. 007 started to talk to them more, Elliot would try to save pizzas for them, and Guest would get distracted more when Elliot and 007 would be near. Every time someone would ask any of them they would immediately get defensive. They eventually dropped it and let them be. The three of them decided to have a talk and they got together. Slowly they began opening up to each other more. Seven and Guest talked about their kids and Elliot would talk about what working at the pizza place was like.
It took some time eventually Guest started talking about how they were sent here. Guest told them one night when they were cuddling together. He told them about the Bacons and how he sacrificed himself to kill the Bacon General. He revealed how he would sometimes have flashbacks when Chance shot his gun too much during rounds. From there Elliot created a protocal if somthing like that happens. Elliot would bring them to his cabin and they would just talk about what happened. If they had the ingredients they would make hot chocolate and Elliot would get the weighted blanket from the closet. At first Guest protested saying that it was too much but they insisted.
Just a few days later Seven decided to open up about how he ended up here. He talked about how after C00lkidd went missing he started to drink. Of the months of depression and the only hope being a photo of them at the carnival. How the police eventually gave up on finding C00lkidd and his hope dwindled. And Elliot and Noli not talking to him anymore was the last straw for him. How he summoned a gun with the C00lgui and shot himself. He also talked about how Chance’s gun also brought back memories in the form of nightmares.
Elliot decided that the protocal that was originally just for Guest would also apply for him. Sev also tried to reject it saying that iw wasnt worth doing this much for someone like him but the other two kept pushing. He eventually agreed under the condition that it wouldn’t be as intense as Guest’s. Guest died sourrounded by sounds of war and pain while he just died by himself. They all agreed to the terms and that's how it was set up.
Guest and Seven tried to do stuff for Elliot as he was doing so much for them but he said no. He was just a pizza worker who got unlucky and the way he died probably wouldn’t even come close to happning in this realm. Dispite this both of them went out of their way to make Elliot’s life easier. One of them would be in the kitchen helping Elliot cook for every meal. They would also drop off Bloxy Colas and Medkits to him whenever they had the chance.
They never actually thought the protocol would be used. The chances of Chance getting lucky enough to shoot more than twice was about as likely as escaping this realm. rounds. But eventually the losing streak was broken. Chance somehow managed to shoot the killer four times and all four times he somehow was near Seven and Guest. Elliot could tell by the look in their eyes when they got sent back. He had to get them out of there, and fast. He grabbed their arms, dragging them to his cabin.
To the others they might have seemed normal. But he knew, by the look of fear and anger in their eyes. The slight tremble. The more time they spent in the main cabin the more likely they were to snap.
When they arrived they made them sit on the bed while he went to get a blanket. They seemed to wake up as Elliot left. Confusion was evident on their faces as they wondered how they got here. They were lost in memories of the past. As Elliot returned he noticed how they looked more present. “How are you guys feeling?” Questioned Elliot as he put the blanket on them.
“Huh, how did we get here?” Asked Seven
“I brought you guys here after the round, I saw what happened with Chance's gun and I could tell something was wrong. Remember the protocal?”
“Oh, I remember that protocol we set up a while ago,” murmured Guest. Even if he was more present he was still mostly out of it.
“Just rest, It gave us enough ingredients to make hot chocolate. I'll go make some.” They were about to protest but Elliot covered thier mouths. “No buts you already agreed to this, no takebacks.” He got up and went to the kitchen connected to his cabin. All the survivors had a sepreate room connected to their cabin that had to deal with them. Guest had a training room, chance had a mini casino, etc. He opened the mini fridge taking out the milk and grabbing the chocolate and mugs from a cabinet. He heated up the milk and added the chocolate, adding marshmallows and whipped cream to Sevens and a bit more chocolate to Guest’s. He knew that Sev had more of a sweet tooth while Guest preferred a more rich hot chocolate. There wasn’t much to work with but it would have to do.
He got their mugs and headed back to his bed. When he got back he saw them sitting against the backboard of the bed talking. When they heard Elliot return they looked up from their conversation. He handed them each of their mugs of hot chocolate.
“What about you?” asked Guest, noticing that Elliot only had two mugs.
“Mines still in the kitchen im going to go get it then come back, kay”
“Alright hurry up”
“Yes captian” joked Elliot heading back to the kitchen and grabbing his mug. He walked back to the bed, joining them on it squeezing inbetween the both of them. They were both taller than him and more bulky. Seven was 5 '7 and Guest was 5' 9 while Elliot was only 5 '4 but it made them amazing pillows. They sat in silence for a while, just drinking their hot chocolate. It was a comfortable silence just enjoying each other's company.
“Do you guys want to talk about what happened?” asked Elliiot, breaking the silence.
“Later,” responded Seven, “I just want to enjoy this.
“Same,” agreed Guest.
“Alright, but your not escaping this. Let me go and clean up. He got up getting all of their mugs and bringing them to the kitchen, washing them and putting them on the rack to dry. When he got back he saw them asleep. He smiled and joined them, settling inbetween them. What did he do to get these beautiful men to date him. He pressed a light kiss to both of their cheeks and fell asleep to the people he loved most.

Shedletsky ran to the main cabin after seeing what happened. He slammed open the door getting everyones attention. He then proceeded to burst eveyones eardrums yelling. “WHO THE HELL WAS GOING TO TELL ME THAT ELLIOT, GUEST, AND SEVEN WERE TOGETHER.”
“HUH THEYRE TOGETHER” Screamed Chance.
“EVEYONE CALM DOWN” Builder commanded. “If you just learned about this now then they probably wanted to keep it secret but you just had to announce it to everyone.” Shedledsky’s expression changed as he took in what Builder said. He was right. I mean how did he have the right to announce their private relationship. “Everyone listen up, if anyone one of you guys tells them what Shed announced I will personally make sure you don’t get food rations. Do you understand me.”
“Yes sir,” they all said at once. Little did they know that the three of them had already heard them. They sighed as they realized their little secret had been exposed. They walked into the cabin holding each other's hands finally able to breathe.

(Random satire ending that I made)
Shedletsky’s jaw dropped as Elliot fell asleep. He snapped out of his shock as he stared at the three of them sleeping. He thought Elliot had hated Seven. But his thoughts were proven wrong. Hell didn’t Guest have a wife. Well he did too and he's together with Builderman but that didn’t matter. He headed to Chance's cabin knowing that the gambler would want to know this. As he took a step his fatass broke a tree branch and woke Guest up. As Guest woke up Shed tried to make a run for it, keyword tried. Guest caught up and bodyslammed Shed to the ground.
The sound of Shedletsky’s 200 pound ass hitting the ground woke up Elliot and Seven who came out to see what was happening. They saw Shed and tied him up and brought him in the cabin. They then proceeded to “touture” Shed until he promised that he wouldn’t tell the others that they were dating. Lets just say that the other survivors heard the torture pretty loudly and just assumed that it was Builder and Shed.
