Hey. Welcome to my Virals One-Shot collection. Currently I have several written and some half way through with many ideas. If you have any suggestions that you want me to do leave them in a review and maybe I will write some. FYI this story will not have predictable updates. Hope you guys enjoy this collection.
Many of these one shots will take place in college. So for the story they share an apartment. Hi and Shelton share a room and Tory and Ben each have their own.
Prompt: I know It's five am and I am in my underwear but can you please open this jar?
A loud knocking on her door woke Tory up. Groggily she looked at the clock next to her bed. 5:03 am. The knocking continued. Stumbling, she walked to the door, opened it and was suddenly wide awake.
"What the hell, Hiram?" Tory questioned. Hi stood in front of her wearing nothing but his underwear. Hi considered that maybe he should have put on some clothes before knocking on her door. He was glad he opted for boxers that day. "Look, I understand we are roommates, and pack mates, but that does not mean I want to see you in your underwear at 5 in the morning." Tory. Blunt as always.
"Right. Just wanna see Ben like that." Hi commented smirking. Tory slapped him across the face. Hi stumbled a little bit not expecting the blow. The girl packed a punch. Maybe he shouldn't anger the bear at the moment. "Right. Right. Canning it."
"What. Do. You. Need Hiram." Tory asked through gritted Teeth. Yeah. Definitely a bad idea.
"Maybe asking you was a bad plan. I'm gonna go wake Ben up." As Hi turned Tory grabbed his hair and repeated her question. Ouch. Note to self. Get a haircut.
"What. Do. You. Need. Hiram." This time Hi had the sense to blush. In response he held up the pickle jar.
"I wanted some burgers and I couldn't open the jar."
"So eat burgers without pickles!"
"Eat burgers without pickles? Are you insane?"
Tory exploded. "Hi, it is five in the morning, I am not in the mood for your shit. We all have class in the morning and I was supposed to wake up in two hours. Now here I am with you standing in front of me in nothing but underwear because you couldn't open the freaking pickle jar and you refused to eat burgers without pickles."
"Yeah." Hi agreed with his previous statement. "Should have woken Ben."
"Woken Ben up for what." Ben wandered into the hall way. Great. Hi thought. Ben is up. Maybe I should have woken Shelton.
"Can you open this?" Hi asked. Ben seemed to realize that Hi was wearing nothing but underwear.
"Hi." Ben started. "What the hell?"
Hi was exasperated. "All I wanted was some burgers but I couldn't open the pickle jar. I can't eat burgers without pickles."
"Look Thickburger." After being called that for several years Hi realized that he actually did appreciate the nickname. "Somethings should be left for the imagination." Ben had the decency to put on some shorts. He had on no shirt but with his muscles could pull it off without being weird about it. Tory had on a sports bra and shorts. Hi decided to make the five am encounter less awkward.
"I'm just gonna go put something on." Hi murmured before making a retreat. After putting on shorts and a shirt he returned to the hallway and found the conversation had moved to the kitchen. Ben was brewing coffee. Hi looked at the clock. 5:30. Guess they had decided there was no point of going back to bed after this. The jar of pickles remained unopen on the counter.
"Someone could have at least opened the pickles." Hi muttered. Tory reached over grabbed the jar and dropped it in the sink. The sound of shattering glass filled the room.
"It's open." She simply stated. The coffee maker beeped. Hi reached for the pot but was stopped by Ben.
"Nu uh. You caused us to wake up at this ungodly hour. We get first dibs." Ben reached for two cups. Everyone had their own mug. Tory's had a picture of Coop on it. The mutt was currently sitting at Tory's feet. He still never left her alone even after all these years. Ben's had pictures of boats on it. Tory had gotten it for him at a souvenir shop down town. Shelton's was a plain stripped mug. And Hi's had really obnoxious Hawaiian prints on it. Ben had poured the coffee and handed one mug to Tory. After pouring cream into it she drank. Ben drank his black. Hi was finally able to pour his coffee and he added sugar.
"I guess we need to add pickles to the shopping list now." Both Tory and Ben glared at him. Hi put his hands up. "Fine. Whatever."
They drank coffee in silence until Shelton walked in. Out of everyone Shelton was the earliest riser usually getting up at about six every morning.
"Why are you all up?" He asked pouring his own coffee. The pot was empty. Tory put some more brew. "And why is the pickle jar shattered in the sink?"
"Hi," Torycommented. "Care to explain?"
"No." Hi said. "But I will anyway. So I woke up at like 4:30 with a craving for burgers, so I made some but when I went to assemble them I couldn't get the pickle jar open. I unwisely woke up Tory to ask her to open the jar. She refused. Ben heard us talking in the hallway so he joined the conversation. Eventually we moved into the kitchen and when I mentioned the jar still was not open Tory dropped it in the sink stated that it was now open." Hi did this without taking a single breath.
"You forgot to mention a key point." Tory started.
Ben finished the thought, "You were wearing nothing but underwear."
"So basically all I missed was Hi's indecency, Tory smashing the pickle jar, and all you deciding it was not worth it to go back to bed so you made coffee." Shelton summed up. The coffee maker beeped again. Shelton poured his cup and Tory poured another for herself.
"Yeah. Although thankfully Hi eventually decided to put on some clothes."
"Like I said, somethings should be left to the imagination."
"I never got my burgers though." Hi said thoughtfully. He looked at the burgers sitting on the counter. Ben walked over and threw them in the trash.
"Eat some cereal like a normal human being." He suggested. Hi, not in the mood to get slapped again, obliged grabbing some Mini Wheats from the cabinet.
"You have all the fun." Shelton commented. "At least this time it wasn't some late night felonies.
