Pay Up

[Marisol Woods]

Marisol was so happy that Gryffindor had won the first game of the season. She had been worried for a second during the game, but overall she had no doubt that they would win which was good because she and Asaiah had placed a bet on the game as usual. And as usual Asaiah had lost, which was amusing to her that he still tried every single time. Most of the time they had made the stakes over homework duty, but Asaiah was now tired of that so they had come up with something else. Now he had to do whatever she wanted for an entire hour, and Marisol needed to make the most of every second of that. After the game she showered and asked her boyfriend to meet her in the student lounge so he could make due on the loss of his bet. She was sure there was probably a Gryffindor celebration going on in the common room but she wanted to spend time with the Slytherin. She considered inviting Wyatt to come gloat in Asaiah's face as well, but she had a feeling even if he might enjoy that, he would otherwise not want to be around them, so Marisol would have to gloat enough for the entire Gryffindor house.

[Asaiah Murphy]

Asaiah was not happy that Gryffindor had won the first game of the season. He had hoped that the snitch would have been caught by their seeker as soon as the match had started just so he wouldn't lose the bet against Marisol but of course luck wasn't on his side. He didn't want to head to the lounge to meet up with Marisol because he knew that she was going to gloat first before she would tell him what he was supposed to do for an hour long. Asaiah made his way up the grand staircase once inside the castle, wanting this to be over quickly so they could move on to the fun stuff and talk about the match without her rubbing Gryffindor winning in his face too much. The Slytherin entered the student lounge and saw his girlfriend standing near the table. It was going to be something disgusting he was sure of that - there was simply no way that she was going to make this easy for him. He groaned as he approached Marisol and said, ''Okay, let's get this over with, I have more important things to do.'' and leaned in to give the girl a kiss on the lips. ''Like that for example,'' Asaiah said with a grin.

Marisol waited patiently for Asaiah to show up and turned around once she heard the sound of his voice, already laughing at his grumpy attitude. "Sore loser," she teased, before smiling as he kissed her. Marisol hummed happily and nodded in agreement when he said kissing her was more important than his punishment. One the one hand she deserved a congratulatory makeout session, but on the other hand, bossing him around was too fun not to take advantage of. She could always get endless kisses later, so for now she had to take advantage of this bet. "Nice one, Murphy but you're not getting out of this," she said in amusement.

Marisol had come up with two punishments for Asaiah. One to make fun of him for in front of others, which is precisely why she had asked him to meet her in the Student Lounge, so as many people as possible could see. But the subject of kissing reminded her of another option she had secretly thought of as a punishment for Asaiah. The concept was something she and her best friends always joked about, but after Wyatt had not reacted very favorably of her and Asaiah dating, she had began trying to decipher why it bothered him so much. The only conclusion she had accepted come up with was that she and Wyatt had once kissed before, so perhaps the idea of her having kissed both boys must have been weird to the Gryffindor boy. So the more she thought about it, the more this second punishment seemed ideal to her.

Marisol quickly leaned in to kiss Asaiah on the lips again before she suddenly said, "Be right back! Don't even think about running away!" she warned and took off to the Gryffindor common room in search of Wyatt to drag him down here. She would need to convince the Gryffindor but she hoped he would agree to it since it was just meant to be a fun type of prank for the Slytherin.

[Wyatt Finch]

Wyatt was not expecting to be dragged from the common room after showering from the game and celebrating. He had been mid conversation with another Gryffindor as Marisol took him wherever she wanted. He was asking repeatedly where they were going to no clearer of an answer when they had started walking until they turned a corner and he realized they were headed to the lounge. He sighed and knew this must be some sort of intervention for he and Asaiah like he had thrown for Marisol and Asaiah years ago. To think they really hadn't needed it seeing where they were now but he still smiled at his friends anyway. "Uh so what am I here for?" he asked them both again, unsure what was going on.​

 

[Marisol Woods]

Marisol hadn't explained anything to Wyatt as she dragged him down to the lounge where Asaiah should be waiting in the fear that he might run away as soon as she told him. With Asaiah here to laugh at, Wyatt might be more willing to go along with it, so the Gryffindor kept silent until they were both standing in front of her. She looked at both of them with an amused grin on her face, already laughing at the idea, and she hadn't even said anything. "As usual, Asaiah here lost his bet to me when Gryffindor won," she prefaced, still feeling rather proud to gloat with another Gryffindor around now. "So now he has to do whatever I say for one whole hour. With conditions like that, the possibilities are endless, right?" she mused, looking over at Wyatt with a grin at Asaiah's expense.

"But there's something going on between us that we've all been ignoring," she gestured between the three of them wildly, pointedly leaving out the 'ever since Asaiah and I started dating' comment to avoid Wyatt walking away. "It's obvious there's some sort of..unresolved tension here, and I think I know how to fix it and also make Asaiah pay up," she continued, defending her point before even stating it, just so they had a chance to think over her preposition once she made it. She looked at them both, trying to decide who would need more convincing, but decided since it was Asaiah's punishment she'd make the statement to him officially. "You and Wyatt should kiss," she stated with much more glee than she intended. "And I'll even go easy on you and say it only has to be once! Not for the full hour, as we originally agreed upon," she added quickly, already laughing at the idea again.
