Darius and Aaron walk up to their room, they see James and Laura talking, both pink-faced.

  Before either Aaron or Darius could hear what the two were saying, the conversation ends and they go back into their rooms.

  As James walks by, ashamed that Aaron of all people noticed how he felt and saw him talking to her just a little bit after Aaron had commented on it.

  As James walks by Aaron and Darius, looking ashamed, Darius smirks at Aaron, who is realizing that his mingling may have done more to lose him the bet than win it.

  James then walks into him and Aidan's room, where Aidan sits on his bed, waiting for James to return.

  When Aidan sees the look on James' face, he knows that something is up.

  Aidan then says "So... what happened this time?"

  Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

  James sighs and says "So, you remember that thing I told you about Laura?"

  Aidan nods, going back in his mind to a story James had told just a couple days before.

  It was a similar situation, just in the middle of the day, with James walking into the room, ashamed, before Aidan asking what was going on.

  Only this time, James tells a short story

  "So... I was walking down to the bathhouse.. And umm... When i opened the door, I... Um.. Saw Laura-"

  James got cut off by the look on Aidan's face, one of both pride and realization.

  Aidan then waits a beat before asking "So what's the big deal, man?"

  James puts on a look of confusion before replying with "THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!?!?"

  Aidan then realizes something, before commenting "Ohhhhhhh, so you've never- Really?"

  James then asks the same thing Aidan just asked him "So? What's the big deal?"

  Aidan hesitates, thinking of how to reply before saying "Well, I would've expected you of all people to have, y'know."

  And then Aidan's brief flashback ends when James shouts "Hello, you there?'

  Aidan seems to almost snap out of a trance before saying "Oh, yeah. Yeah I remember. So did it happen again?"

  James quickly replies "No! I just told her that it happened."

  "Also apparently Aaron knew about it somehow because he commented about it, it's the whole reason I told her!"

  Aidan tells James to sit down, before giving James some advice.
