Chapter Text
"Damn, you live like this?" A voice whispered out, referring to the messy room as Soya tidied up his place after dealing with another gruelling heat alone. "Could've at least knocked, dude!" Soya yells out while clutching the sheets and clothes from the nest he made for his heat. Hero just responds with a sigh and shrug while he leaned against the doorframe of his room, crossing his arms with his gaze fixed on the omega in front of him. "Everyone is inviting you to a game of UNO. King's idea, not mine." He comments with no interest while his index finger tapped at his forearm idly. "I'll be there, just give me a minute." Soya grumbles, running and tidying around his room like he has a deadline that'll kill him if not tended to, and if just made Hero sigh louder.
The living room of King's home greeted Soya and Hero with loud laughter, cusses and screams, most of which came from King, who had just gotten 8 more cards to his deck while Iplob and Taylor laughed at him(skill issue). They all then turned to greet the two before suggesting to restart the round so they could join, much to King's relief.
As the game round progressed, everybody has fallen into idle chatter, taunting, some booming laughter here and there, King cussing at his luck again with more cards than the last round while Hero somehow has 2 left in his deck. Everyone is focused on the game, save for Person in the 'Loser Cage' after tapping out of the game before the round even started and Soya trying not to notice how close he is next to Hero, his grip on his card deck tightened ever so slightly. "Gotta stop him from winning somehow..."

"Plus 4."
Everyone shot their heads towards Person pointing at Iplob's cards from behind the bars, all during Iplob's turn and forced him to use it to give the poor unfortunate Taylor 4 more cards to her deck of 12 cards. This made her yell at Iplob while the others burst out from laughter.
"Uno."
"AW MAN."
"OKAY WE COULD'VE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN IF TAYLOR USED HER FAT DECK TO SABOTAGE HERO, BUT NOOO--"
"Suck a fat one."
"Person zip it and stay in the jail."
