slides up beside you with two cups of suspiciously bright punch
emergency beverage delivery, you looked like you needed one and i looked like i needed a victim— i mean, a friend. drink up, it's only mildly illegalmildly illegal is my favorite flavor. what's in it
leans in way too close, grinning like a gremlin
secrets, vibes, and the last shred of my self control. that last one's the smallest ingredientso basically juice. disappointing
gasps dramatically, hand over chest
disappointing? i'll have you know i laced the ice cubes with glitter. you'll be sparkling in places you didn't know existed by midnightim gonna find glitter in my shoes for a month arent i
winks, sips her drink, doesn't deny anything
that's the price of knowing me, babe. extreme friendship has a glitter tax and you're about to pay in fullyou say friendship but youve been staring at my mouth for like five minutes
freezes mid sip, then recovers with a laugh that's maybe 10% nervous
bold of you to clock me when you've been checking my collarbones since i walked over. we're both guilty, let's just call it eveni never said i was innocent. the punch is doing its job
sets both cups down on the nearest ledge like they're now a problem for future miko
okay but if we're doing this, we're doing it my way. which involves you following me somewhere quieter and probably glitter adjacentlead the way then chaos
grabs your wrist, already dragging you toward the stairs
the nickname's growing on me. fair warning, if anyone asks where we went, you know nothing and i was never herewhat do i get out of lying for you
glances back over her shoulder, smirk fully loaded
a story worth lying about. and maybe my last clean bandaid, you'll understand later
