41 ~ tier listing disney horses is a peak bonding experience

[A/N - the team is so goofy i love them]

At some point after lunch, they'd introduced a volleyball into the water fight.

Much to his annoyance, Luis had been dragged in and swapped with Riley so that they could play in a five versus five.

He dragged his feet, barely even trying as Evans' team absolutely destroyed the opposition.

He honestly felt like Riley could have done a better job than Luis in this state.

Obviously playing in the water was just for fun, but Evan could only marvel at the sheer tragedy that was the other team.

Luis was a thorn in their feet, getting in the way at every turn.

Hugo, Luke and Ethan, being competitive as hell, had taken to cursing Luis out at every move he made.

"What are you fucking doing—" Hugo cried as Luis just straight up walked in front of him, accidentally stopping him from getting near the ball.

Luis shrugged, "Sorry," he mumbled, decidedly not sounding very sorry at all.

Hugo shook his head in disbelief, "Fucking idiot—"

Evan couldn't help but feel pleasantly happy about the whole thing. Really, Luis had burned his reputation to a crisp in Evan's mind when he'd broken his fucking finger.

"Fuck," Luke groaned as Luis stepped on his foot.

"Are you trying to be an ass right now?" Ethan uttered, looking disbelievingly at Luis.

Slowly, Luis shook his head, "No."

Ethan threw his arms up in disbelief, "Then the fuck are you doing?"

"This is stupid," Luis mumbled, "This was supposed to be a practice weekend."

Ethan waved his hand at the group, "Tell me, what are we doing right now?"

"Not practicing."

Ethan looked agitated, "Luis, for fucks sake, Coach wanted you to come this weekend so we can make some attempt at not losing a good player for a stupid reason."

Luis opened his mouth to speak, but Ethan cut him off.

"None of us wanted you here Luis. But lucky for you, we're short on competent players right now, and this— for your information, is team building, which is important, for you especially dipshit." Ethan waded up to Luis to face him, "So tell me now, is you being here a waste of time?"

Luis looked uncomfortable, "No."

"So you're going to stop being a fucking prick?" Ethan uttered harshly. It was like despite his shorter height, he towered over Luis, intimidating the hell out of the other boy.

Luis swallowed, "Sure."

"Lovely," Ethan drawled, "Now get your ass back over there and play like your spot on the team is on the line," Ethan jabbed a finger into Luis' shoulder, "Which, surprise— it is Luis. After all the stupid shit you pulled, be glad you even have a chance."

Luis had shrunk to the size of an ant.

"Okay," he uttered meekly.

At that, Ethan turned, looking exasperated. "Christ, I feel like Coach, this is meant to be a damned holiday—"

Evan grinned, feeling his now ever growing respect for Ethan skyrocket.

So Luis was here on Coaches orders, no one else's.
