… Wait, Susie was… inviting her in?? Noelle had been thinking they could go to the diner or something, but… well, no arguments from Noelle. At all.
She nods quietly at Susie’s joke, sort of taking it as a serious comment - Noelle didn’t tend to eat much at her friend’s houses anyway.
Expecting to be taken to the living room, Noelle is a little confused as she’s led up stairs, and to… oh my god.
Susie was gonna… just let Noelle into her room?? Speechless, the reindeer turns, watching Susie walk away - all she can really respond with is a quiet ‘mmhmm’ before she turns back, and steps into Susie’s… very messy room.
That much was expected.
Stepping carefully over the other’s clothes, Noelle sits down on Susie’s bed, blush unmissable now as it spreads over her whole face.
* As the patters of footsteps fade from the creaky stairs, the only sound that could be heard was the quiet playing of a catchy yet undistinct tune, something anime-like.
* Taking a look around the room would show that Susie was actually quite into anime, a bright shirt (the only light one) hanging in her wardrobe, a poster of a certain catty figure on a sparkly background on the roof and a shelf of discarded - probably thrown - pink CD cases littering her windowside next to a potted plant.
* She seemed to have some order, at least.
* It doesn’t take long until Susie comes back upstairs though, the obvious thumping giving it away. Opening the door with a foot, she comes in with two drinks in her hands, one cup of carrot juice and another of..... god knows what. * It looked like strawberry milkshake, but had a sour scent mixed in with the sweet scent of strawberries.
“.....Hey.”
