Riverpaw backed out of the room, keeping her leg inside to stop Tsunami, who was desperately trying to get out. "Noo, no, stop it. Go, back- back up. O-okay, stay. Stay there. Please?…Good." She closed the door, painfully ignoring the pup's whines from the other side. She went into the kitchen to throw her plate away, waving to Meun and August.
"Hey guys." colden said to August and Meun.
(sorry i have been gone since like 5 )
August bit his lip in an attempt to stop himself from blushing. He looks adorable in my jacket, he thought. "Hey," he responded, looking away.
Meun waved back at him, giving him a small smile. He found himself snuggling into the collar of August's jacket, finding it oddly comforting
Belle looked over at Riverpaw and subtly nodded toward August and Meun. She lowered her drink so the girl could see her smirk.
he went back to eating the food on his plate.
Riverpaw returned the look, raising an eyebrow at the boys.
August scowled at Belle. "Shut up," he muttered, losing his internal struggle as a blush rose on his cheeks. He looked at the floor, crossing his arms.
Meun, being the dense dork he was, had no idea what Belle had done or why August was scowling. He looked between them like a dweeb for a minute, seemingly at a loss. "What?" he eventually asked
Riverpaw snorted, covering her mouth with an empty cup.
Colden shook his head at their silent speech and looked down.
"Nothing." August said, refusing to meet anyone's eye.
(oh god part of me really wants to have River accidentally take some of the spiked punch, but the other part knows how bad of an idea that is, I shouldn't even be debating this heeelp)
Riverpaw hummed smirking at him. "It's something~" She mused.
Meun looked at her, blinking owlishly in his confusion. "I'm…I'm just going to go find the booze now," he said before walking off and tugging August with him
Riverpaw put her cup down and went to stand in front of them, arms crossed over her chest. "No. Don't do that."
(I was on the phone, guys! Lol.)
"I didn't say a word," Belle defended herself, putting her free hand up. She lifted the cup to her lips again and took another sip.
August glanced at Riverpaw. "We're both legally able to drink alcohol, Riv."
"I-I know, but..you do that a lot. You, especially." She pointed at Meun and narrowed her eyes. "C-can't you just, I dunno…g-get something normal or something?"
"I've been legal for a little while now. Not that I didn't drink before that," Meun commented absently
"just because you are legal doesn't mean you have to" Colden said while drinking a cup of water
"Life's better when I'm tipsy." August responded, gently pushing past Riverpaw and into the kitchen. He pulled Meun along with him.
Riverpaw huffed, making a face at him.
Meun was about to answer Colden, but found himself tugged into the kitchen before he could say anything. Just being in a kitchen made his stomach growl, and he bit his lip as he looked around
Belle glanced down at her drink as Riverpaw and Colden spoke to Meun and August. She'd taken the punch, needing to forget about… things.
Colden just glared slightly at August and Meun, then sighed.
