Russian Roulette

He avoided my eyes sheepishly, "Two weeks is a bit of an exaggertation..."

"Okay, 13 days." Tal rolled his eyes, chuckling.

"No! Because I didn’t know who to pick on the first day! We had gotten so many I couldn’t pick!"

"Yeah, and I opened Jill's. So you should be thanking me for her."

"Okay. Thank you." Jimmy hugged him tightly, lifting him off the ground a little. "Happy?!"

"Wee!" Tal laughed before Jimmy dropped him on the ground. "Asshole!"

"You're heavy! It's not my fault!"

"I'll show you heavy!" Tal got up quickly, jumping onto Jimmy's back and flipping over his head and pulling him to the ground.

It wasn't long before they were in an all-out wrestling match. I slowly sat back down at the picnic table, watching them. What else was I supposed to do...?

"...Heyy! I got 5 bucks on Tal!" I looked up to see Zacky leaning out of his bedroom window.

"Fuck you!!" Jimmy shouted, getting Tal in a head lock.

"The skinny ones are so defensive!"

"...Hey!" Tal glared at him teasingly. "Where do you see fat?!"

"I win!" Jimmy managed to pin him down fully in the grass, sitting on top of him. "That's five bucks, Baker!!"

"Damnit, Tal! You suck under pressure!" Zacky laughed. "Just kidding man, how are you?"

"...Do we have to yell?!" Tal coughed under Jimmy's weight.

"What are you coughing about!? I'm not fat!!"

"Uncle!!!" Tal whined, trying to get free.

"...I'm an uncle?!" Jimmy jumped up, laughing.

"Damn straight! I knocked up both your sisters!!" Tal slowly managed to sit up, laughing.

"...Yay! that means you'll marry at least one of them and you be my brother!" Jimmy said excitedly.

"Whoa! I don't bang and tie!" Tal burst out laughing.

"But....but... I can't marry you! I'm not gay and I have a girlfriend!"

"A-a girlfriend...?" I looked at Jimmy in awe. Than what was I to him...?

"...Where?!" Tal's eyes went wide.

Jimmy pointed at me, "Look, blind man, right there!!"

"Way to introduce me, Man!" Tal glared at Jimmy before getting up and going over to me. He took my hand and kissed it before smiling. "Hi, I'm Tal..."

"...Hi, I'm still Jill." I chuckled, blushing.

"That's a cute name!" he smiled. "Let me know if Jimmy is a dick. I'll kick him in the head again."

"...Which one!?" Jimmy looked horrified.

"Both." Tal looked at him with all seriousness.

"...You can't reach!!"

"...Want a bet!?" Tal got up and went over to him.

"Get the fuck away from me!!" Jimmy backed away quickly, laughing.

"No! I really wanna try!" Tal was following him. this was the most cliché thing I had ever seen, but it was really about to happen.

"Jimmy, the pool-" I was cut short as Jimmy walked backwards into the pool. Tal died laughing, doubling over.
"You fucker!" Jimmy surfaced after a moment, reaching out of the pool to pull his best friend into the water as well.

"MY PHONE!" Tal shouted as the electronic device floated to the top.

"That means your vibrating strap on died too!" Jimmy smirked, going over to the edge of the pool. He motioned me over. I shook my head, blushing.

"You're the one with the strap on!" Taking Jimmy's distraction as an advantage, Tal shoved him beneath the water.

"I borrowed it from you first!" Jimmy surfaced, laughing. "Babe, come on!" He called me over once again, taking his shirt off.

"I don't swim..." I mumbled, distracted by his chest.

"Yes you do, get over here! I won't let you drown!" he smiled.

"And if he does, I'll save you!" Tal dove under the water.

"No! I really don't swim..." I mumbled shyly.

"Don’t make me get out there and come get you!" he smirked at me. Tal surfaced with Jimmy's jeans in his hand as he tried to lay them out in the sun. I covered my eyes, blushing again and shaking my head. "Stop stripping me, you faggot!!" Jimmy laughed.

"I love it when you go commando!" Tal laughed, taking off his own shirt.

"Go get me my fucking jeans!! This water is fucking cold!!" I didn't dare to look.

"No! it's fucking hot out there!" Tal chuckled, keeping his shoulders just under the water.

"Babe..." Jimmy whined. "Will you get me my jeans?"

"I...I..." Could I walk without seeing? "...Only if you and Tal swear not to pull me in the pool...!!"

"I promise." Jimmy smiled. I looked over to ask Tal but he was underwater. I bit my lip as I got up slowly, making my way over to the in-ground pool. Picking up his pants unsurely, I slowly walked over to him. At the last second, my legs were grabbed, and Tal, quite literally, threw me into the pool. I quickly held my breath before I went under water, trying to regain myself enough to swim to the top. After a moment, two arms wrapped around me and pulled me to the surface.
