"I've got a straight flush, baby. Pay up." Cora flattened her cards out onto the concrete floor while Wilbur watched her in confusion. "That's not a straight flush? That's nothing, you got nothing." Cora pointed to her cards, also in confusion and tried to explain her reasoning.

"No, you bobble head. Do you even know how to play poker?" Wilbur asked, explaining how it is in fact not a straight flush. Cora huffed, throwing her cards through the bars and crossing her arms. "I refuse this slander. It would be easier to learn if you weren't in a cell."

Maybe we should recap? So back to when Wilbur, his tiny, itty bitty stick self, was beating Cora's 'best friend' to a pulp.

One of the lady's decided to be a snitch by calling the police, which they surprisingly came by as quick as they could, arresting Wilbur and leaving Jared to walk free.

It's pretty funny how Jared, a literal assulter gets to walk free while Wilbur, a person who was trying to justify Cora is the one who sat behind bars.

Real funny.

So, they brought Wilbur to the county jail and placed him in a cell for physical assult, until someone was able to pay bail. Cora, shamefully knew the cop on duty and begged on her knees, crying very believable on how she needed to speak to him.

He finally agreed, letting her go back, only if she was quiet. She swiped a box of cards on the desk of the man and walked where they said Wilbur was.

And now they're here, Cora sitting criss cross on one side and Wilbur on the other.

"I'm so boooooored." Cora complained while Wilbur organized the cards back together with his swollen hand.

"I told you not to beat him up. Look at your poor bruised up hand. It's honestly a huge turn on and I want to have sex with you, but that would be crazy unsanitary."

Wilbur peeked up through his swollen eyes with a hint of a smile on his face. "What? I'm speaking my mind. Plus, he got a few good hits in. Your face is really attractive to me right now."

"You've got problems."

Cora huffed, laying her back up against the metal bars and letting a few moments of silence sit between them. "I am sorry though. I provoked him with saying that he had a child with his cousin. Don't ask."

"Stop being sorry, he was literally about to do something a lot worse. I couldn't bear to see that."

"Wow, that's hot." Wilbur decided to mimick her, pushing his back against the cold metal. "You've got the bar so low."

She shrugged, putting her hand up in defense. "Well, most men, let's be real, are below my bar." Wilbur nodded in agreement, staring at the cell wall. He was hoping Jared was to just drop the charges. That bastard knew he deserved it.

Cora put her pinky through the bars and hooked it with his, knowing he was stressing about something. "Hey it's okay. I know I joke around all the time, but thank you. Like actually." He smiled, but said nothing, instead he squeezed her pinky three times which she squeezed right back. Cringy and Weird, but sweet moment.

"Cora!" A voice came rushing down the hall. Cora looked to the side to see Eden almost running down the hallway with someone behind her. Cora forgot she had called her. She didn't have any other friends in the city, it was just Jared, but She doesn't think she will ever contacting him again.

"Hey, Eden." Eden gave Cora a quick hug then looked to the boy behind the cell. "Hey Wilbur! Wow, Cora punched you good! Do you remember me? I'm-"

"Schlatt's roomate. Yeah and Cora lied, she didn't punch me, it was Jared." He glared at Cora when she blew a overdramatic kiss towards him in which he roll his eyes and returning his gaze to Eden.

"Please, tell me you didn't bring Schlat-"

"Now who's the pretty princess?" A guy with odd sideburns and a cap on his head walked to where they could see him. Wilbur sighed, banging his forehead onto the bars. "Oh sweet Wilbur, you're now more american than me. Isn't that something?"

Wilbur said nothing, trying not to look at the guy. He knew if Schlatt told, it would be a riot between his friends.

Schlatt unsurprisingly took out his phone and held it in front of him like an old man. "Here we go, okay now pose. In love with that dainted look. I got to get a down angle, up. Here could you take a selfie for me by the toilet. I wanna see how gross it is, since I, of course, have never been to jail." Schlatt handed the phone to Wilbur through the bars, but he didn't grab it. "Alrighty, that's fine. I just won't post your bail then."

Wilbur angrily snatched the phone and started to do as schlatt said. "Wow you're so submissive, I like it."

Cora and Eden watched the whole interaction, a little uncomfortable with how much tension was in the room, but overall about to burst out in laughter.

Schlatt looked to Cora and held out his hand. "I'm Jschlatt by the way. Call me Schlatt or Big Daddy, whatever you'd like."

"Don't call him Big Daddy." Wilbur said on the side, still taking pictures of himself and his surroundings.

"I'm Cora. Thanks for coming by, I'm poor and needed him out. I won't call you Big Daddy, but I would call you Sugar Daddy? Money, please?"

"Cora!" Wilbur yelled in response.

"What? I'm not serious." She looked to Schlatt and nodded slowly, letting him know she was dead serious.

A plump guared started to walk towards them with clanking keys in his hand. They all watched him slowly and awkwardly inch closer. When the man finally arrived he stared everyone down for a solid minute then unlocked the door, sliding it to the right.

"Go." Is all he said in which Wilbur gladly went, taking Cora's hand and pulling her down the hallway, the other two following close behind.

"I already paid the bail dumbass." Schlatt yelled, in which Wilbur ignored.

He decided the first thing he wanted to do was grab both sides of Cora's and pull it up to his, placing quick and delicate kisses on her lips. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt him, but he deserved it. You know it, I know it, hell even he knows it." Cora replied with the same thing, feathering small pecks along his lips. "It's alright Wil." She said, running her hands through his sweat filled hair.

"Alright, that's gross. Shower or we break up."

"I was literally in jail."

"No excuses you loser. The BO is way too strong. Super bold for you trying to justify it-"

"So, do you guys wanna go get lunch or something?" Eden asked happily looking at the couple. Wilbur cleared his throat while Cora reddened.

"I won't lie to you Eden, I'm exhausted." Wilbur said, throwing his arm around Cora's waist. They were now walking to the front desk, beginning to sit in the chairs that were pushed up against the boring grey walls.

"Sorry to tell you, but I'm not going back to the apartment. You can go and see Jared, but I would rather not."

"Oh, we have an extra room! We were trying to rent it out since our last roomie moved out, but you guys can stay in it for a couple days." Eden cheerfully said while a police officer handed paperwork to Wilbur.

"Woah, I never said anything about that. With Wilbur looking like this in my home will make me legit come." Schlatt decided to chime in. Cora acted disgusted, reaching over and slapping the side of Schlatt's head. "Not that I don't ship. I literally just got him back. So let's not."

He shrugged, patting Wilbur's purple cheek. "It's not my fault he looks sexy as hell. You know I have an extra maid outfit from when I bought one for Weston." Wilbur rolled his eyes and almost laughed.

"Schlatt, I want to have sex with you."

He stopped when he saw Cora, who looked rather intrigued. "You can't be serious."

"What? A man with zero toxic masculinity is just so attractive."

"Agreed." Eden nodded repeatedly, while looking to Schlatt and jabbing him in the side with her elbow.

"So it's settled! You two lovebirds will come stay with us! Oh my god, I'm so excited! It's like a huge sleepover." Eden said in utter glee.

"Wilbur, you can stay in my room. We can share a blanket, cuddle a bit, but you can't tell Weston." Schlatt added. Wilbur nodded while standing up, starting to walk towards the desk to turn his paperwork in.

"Alright, but if you speak about this to Tommy or anyone, I will personally never cuddle with you again."

"Oh god no. Never Wilbur, I promise."

...

The four were in the living room, sitting on the couch, of Schlatt and Eden's cramped apartment talking about basically anything accept what happened. Wilbur was drifting off on Cora's shoulder while she was laughing with the others.

"How about we watch a movie?" Eden suggested, already getting comfortable while turning on the TV.

Cora nodded, lifting Wilbur so she could situate herself into the corner of the couch which he hummed in refusal, slowly situating himself with her by circling his arms around her waist and snuggled his face into her neck.

"I kinda missed you."

"Yeah, whatever."
