Falling - A Pentatonix Story

"Well, Candice needs to help us with that, and we weren't even nominated this year!"

"Well, we should've been."

"I'm happy just sitting at home. Tour is tiring."

"Sitting at home is boring. We can.. have a game night!"

"A what?"

"Play board games!" Mitch replies excitedly.

"Do we even have board games?"

"Of course we have board games. This is the Grassi-Hoying household we're talking."

"So we're sharing last names now?" I smirk.

"Monopoly or Twister?"

"Monopoly."

"What do you mean Monopoly?"

"I mean Twister is at least a four person game!"

"Okay. You were supposed to pick Twister."

"Twister, then."

"Too late," he shouts, and I hear a thud.

"Where were the board games?"

"The very top of the closet in my room."

"You could've asked for help."

"I'm not that short."

"Except I'm tall," I laugh, setting down my phone.

"Okay. What do you want to be?"

"Uh, Thimble?"

"Okay, I'll be the hat."

"I haven't played this in years, babe."

"That's fine. I think we played it at a party or something a while back while you were doing something else.

"You played Monopoly at a party?"

Mitch simply shrugs his shoulders and continues to take out everything we need.

"Okay, here's your money.." he mumbles shoving colored paper in my hands. "Do you want to be the person with the money or the person with the places?"

"Money?"

"Okay," he replies, shoving more colorful paper in my hands.

"Does this mean I get all of this?" I ask, holding up a fat stack of 500's.

"No, you idiot. You're the banker," Mitch sighs. "Here, read up on the instructions," this time he shoves white paper in my hand. With real words on it.

After a little bit of rereading up on the rules, I tell Mitch I'm ready to start.

"I'll go first," he announces.

"Why?"

"Because," he laughs.

"Fair enough."

Once we almost fully make it around the board, I land on Park Lane.

"Do you want to buy it?" Mitch asks.

"No. No one ever lands on it anyways."

"You just landed on it."

"I don't have much money. Hotels cost a lot."

"You literally haven't bought anything yet."

"I'll pass."

"You're loss."

Of course on Mitch's next turn, he lands on boardwalk.

"I'll buy it," he smirks, shoving more colorful paper in my hands. This time, though, I put it in the 'bank'.

"No one ever lands there."

"I just did."

"Well, the chances are very small."

"What chances? You have the same amount of chance to land on every square."

"Well, no one ever lands there."

"Whatever," He laughs.

---

"Hah! Two thousand dollars!" Mitch shouts, holding his hand out.

"That not fair! I don't even have two thousand dollars!"

"Shouldn't have landed on boardwalk then!"

"You shouldn't have bought it!"

"I only bought it because you didn't buy it!"

"You've landed on it five times! It's my only property!"

"I have every other property on the board and you never land on them! You're a cheater!"

"I'm not a cheater, you just suck at Monopoly!"

"It's impossible to suck at Monopoly!"

"Well you do!"

So our game of Monopoly got pretty intense.

Long story short, I have landed on boardwalk or park place five times. Five. Freaking. Times. I have almost every other property on the board, except for a few others Mitch owns. Somehow he always manages to dodge the ones I own.

"Fine! Take it! Take it all!" I yell, throwing the rest of my twenties and ones at Mitch.

"There's like 100 dollars here!"

"Take it!" I shout while laughing, this time throwing the 500's from the bank at him.

"You're so poor you had to rob a bank!"

"Oh yeah, well.."

"You can't even come up with a comeback!" Mitch shouts again. By now, we're both full on laughing and neither of us can stop. It gets so bad both of us fall to the ground, unable to keep from laughing. My sides are so soar I figure I'm about to pass out from laughing so hard. I can barely breathe, and Mitch looks about the same.

"Oh, damn," Mitch says, wiping his eyes once we've calmed down.

"Maybe Monopoly isn't the game for me," I comment.

"Really?" Mitch asks, sarcastically.

"Well, now what are we going to do?"

"It's like 12. We can always go to bed."

"Eh."

"We should catch up on sleep before we have like a twelve hour time change."

"From LA to Dublin is an 8 hour time change. Not twelve," he corrects.

"Okay, that's still a big time change."

"We'll get used to it after a while."

"Should we just watch a movie or something until we fall asleep?"

"Sounds good to me."

Both of us head into my bedroom and take off our clothes so we're just in our boxers.

"What movie?" I ask when we're underneath the heavy blankets.

"I don't care at all, honestly."

"We're watching Finding Dory."

"Okay," he replies, snuggling farther into my chest. I set the remote down and wrap my arms around him.

"I love you," I mutter.

"I love you, too."
