Bennett's Birthday Blowout

Hu Tao was the first to wake up one morning, she knew what day it was and wanted to surprise Bennett. Bennett was still resting, and that's when Hu Tao grabbed an air horn and blew it in his ear. "Ah, oh Hu Tao, I should've known, why'd you do that for?" he yawned. "Don't you know what day it is today" she said. "It's the 29th, what's ever so important about it?" "It's your birthday, silly, now turning a broad 17" she coaxed. "Oh, right, I almost forgot, uh do you have any plans for this year's celebration?" asked Bennett. "Well, I think you should have a boys night out with Diluc, Xingqiu and Aether, it would be nice to get to know them and bond" "Yeah that would be fun, I wonder if Amber would let me have the day off" Bennett pondered. "It's Amber, of course she would-" "No, certainly not" she said sternly. "But Amber-" "No, Bennett, this week's been busier than ever, first I had to help regrow all of the forest that was burned down by the munitions and I have pay for the damages to the dam and that bridge too, and I need all of you to work twice as hard now, regardless of the holiday" Bennett looked hurt, so Hu Tao decided to say something. "You know, Amber, it would be a shame for Bennett to be overworked on his own birthday, so that's why me, Yoimiya, Xiangling and Lumine would fill in for them" she suggested. "Wait, hold on, we didn't agree to that" said Yoimiya and Xiangling. "Very well then" Amber agreed. "Hope you boys have fun" "And remember, if you guys do something crazy, I'll do my best to help you escape" Hu Tao winked, the boys just smiled and went on by their business. "Ok you guys, I know a guy who basically lets anyone into his house down in Liyue, y'all wanna go there and basically go wild?" Diluc said. "Hell yeah!" said Aether and Bennett with spirit. "Actually, I don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves, let's try to keep it peaceful" Xingqiu said fondly. The others just snorted at the Hydro as they were getting all the things necessary for tonight. Bennett grabbed 4 PlayStation controllers, Aether got the snacks, and Diluc bought a bottle of champagne for himself. "You've brought champagne in here, too, oh dear" said Xingqiu. "Hell yeah, we gonna be lit up in here" said Diluc proudly. "Alright everyone, we're playing COD tonight, I already set up the lobby, so join quickly" announced Bennett. Everything was going just swell, everyone's kill streaks were high, except for Xingqiu. "Bro, Aether, where are you, they ganging up on me" said Bennett worriedly. "Hold on, I'm changing my username" informed Aether. "This man's account name was PrettyLover_76, really?" teased Diluc while sipping his drink. "Look, I'm playing on Lumine's account, ok, just bare with me" said Aether while being irritated. However, just as Aether got done changing his account name, Diluc killed the last person on the opposing team, causing them to win. "Yes sir, that's what I'm talking about!" he said proudly while giving Bennett a handshake. "Oh cool, we won, and I ain't even do nothing half the time, worth it in my opinion" added Aether. Xingqiu saw that Diluc had drunk half of his bottle, and the made the ol' Pyro very tipsy. "Alright, now ladies and gentlemen, we're having a karaoke night, I would go first, I will be singing Chandelier by Sia, it will be the best cover of all of Teyvat" Diluc said while his speech was rather slurred. "Alright, let my boy cook" said Bennett. Diluc sang until it came to the big part, that's when he got up on the chandelier and started singing. "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier!" He kept singing until eventually the chandelier fell on the ground and broke. "Oh, well good thing this isn't our house, am I right, lads" chortled Bennett. "Yeah, I'm fine by the way, now anyways else wanna sing, perhaps maybe a duet" hinted Diluc. "You know, Diluc, let's skip the karaoke, what y'all wanna watch on TV?" asked Aether. "What about Hazbin Hotel?" suggested Bennett. "Hell no, I'm tired of hearing all the songs on repeat and the endless TikToks about it, besides I don't like some of the characters, especially Angel Dust" complained Diluc. "You must be mistaken but I'll have you know that Angel's one of the most well developed characters of the entire series, and has some of the best songs of the whole series!" argued Xingqiu. Bennett and Aether just sat on the couch while eating chips. "He's nothing more than a unapologetical cock sucking sex slave!" fumed Diluc. "He progresses over time though, he stood up to Valentino and helped everyone else with the big fight against Adam, you sound like Adam and Lute themselves too!" continued Xingqiu. "Stop arguing, you two" laughed Bennett. Aether saw some blue lights flashing outside of the house, a neighbor close by called the police because they were being too noisy. "Aw shit, now we got the police over here due to your loud mouth, Xingqiu!" Diluc accused. Xingqiu had a plan on how to scare them off, he played some sound effects of gunshots from the TV, that made the police scurry away. "Not bad, Xingqiu" Diluc complemented while looking remorsefully, Xingqiu saw how he was looking and whispered, "It's fine, Diluc, I forgive you" "Alright boys, what a day it has been, I think this was one of thr best birthday parties I ever had, and I'm glad I shared it you all" Bennett said fondly. The others just blushed and went to sleep, except Diluc who was drinking when Xingqiu came and broke his bottle, Diluc just smiled and fell asleep. Next morning, they were all kicked out by the homeowner for wrecking their place, they all just laughed, now becoming firmer friends.
