Fate (Olicity, College AU, T)
Written for the super fun Halloween Prompts posted by @olicitytropes - check it out here. The prompt I’m using is: Person A is an actor in a haunted house. Person B is the friend in the group who didn’t want to walk through the house. Person B gets scared and punches Person A in the nose.
“I don’t want to be here.”
“Yes, you said that already.”
“I’m serious, Tommy,” Oliver hissed.
He grabbed his best friend’s shoulder and yanked him back as the group of women before them went inside the haunted house. Thankfully the guy managing the door held his hand up, indicating Tommy and Oliver had to wait before they entered.
The door took its time shutting, letting Oliver hear every single scream and shout and terrifying whoosh echoing from within.
A shiver scraped down his spine. From the crisp night air, he tried to tell himself.
Tommy’s shoulder shook with a chuckle.
“Ow, hey!” Rubbing his sore arm, Tommy glared at him. “This was your bet, not mine. I didn’t tell you to tempt the fates by playing chicken with Slade Wilson.”
“You didn’t have to tell him how much I hate these stupid things.”
“Nice try, but I’m pretty sure that was your drunken ass telling him that, not me.”
“Well, you didn’t have to say ‘Too bad it’s Halloween, haha.’”
“How the hell was I supposed to know he was pulling extra hours at this place? That guy’s shut up tighter than your asshole right now.”
Tommy tossed him a cheeky grin. “I know.”
Another scream erupted from somewhere deeper inside the hulking beaten-to-shit barn and a cold sweat broke out across the back of Oliver’s neck.
“Listen,” Tommy said, “we get in, get out, and then it’s over with.”
The man waved them forward.
