Hope you enjoy!

One evening, the NSB members gathered in the living room of their shared house. Sebastian and Oliver were sitting on the couch, engrossed in a game of Fortnite, their playful banter filling the air.

"Oliver, you're getting destroyed!" Sebastian teased as he high-fived his brother.

Meanwhile everyone were cheering up or yelling in the background.

As the evening wore on, Sebastian noticed Regie giving them a mischievous grin. "Hey, Oli, I dare you to give Ryan a hug!"

Oliver chuckled, "Regie, what are you up to?"

Regie winked, "I just want to see if the strict, no-hug policy applies to our leader."

Oliver took up the challenge. He got up from the couch and approached Ryan, who looked bewildered. "Hey, Ryan, can I give you a hug?"

Ryan blinked, clearly taken aback by the request. "Uh, I guess so." He opened his arms hesitantly.

Oliver wrapped his arms around Ryan in a gentle hug, surprising everyone in the room. Regie had a playful smirk on his face.

Sebastian, who was still sitting on the couch, grinned and cheered them on. "YEAH!"

After the hug, Ryan's stern expression softened.

Regie couldn't help but comment, "You see, even Ryan can't resist Oli's charm."

Oliver chuckled, returning to his seat on the couch. "Well, that was an unexpected bonding moment. Thanks, Regie."

At night, Ryan found himself alone in the kitchen. He had just finished watching a particularly unsettling horror movie, a genre he usually found no trouble with. However, this one had gotten to him for some reason. Seeking solace, he put on his headphones and played calming music to ease his nerves.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Oliver and Regie had coincidentally met on the stairs. Both of them had a late-night craving and decided to head to the kitchen together. As they entered the dimly lit room, they noticed Ryan sitting on a chair, his eyes darting around anxiously. It was clear that something was bothering him.

Regie, ever the nonchalant one, approached Ryan and gently took his headphones off. Ryan was about to protest when he realized it was Regie, and something about his friend's concerned expression caught him off guard.

Oliver, who had been following Regie, noticed the tension in Ryan and immediately wrapped his arms around him in a comforting hug. "Hey, Ryan, it's us. You're not alone."

Ryan, though initially caught off guard by the unexpected embrace, soon felt the warmth and reassurance that came from being surrounded by friends. He let out a deep breath and whispered, "Thanks, guys. That movie really got to me, and I didn't want to admit it."

Regie patted Ryan's shoulder and offered a reassuring smile. "No need to keep it to yourself, buddy. We're here for you, no matter what."

Oliver, still hugging Ryan, added, "You know, we're more than just a group; we're a family. Don't hesitate to lean on us when you need to."

The three of them stood there for a moment, sharing the quiet and comforting bond.
