a laugh as rich as ochre
for @rkxmk ✧*:・゚
☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆
there’s a multitude of colors passing through aurora-- ochres and dark, pulsating golds, beautiful reds, soft purples. the air around her is rich in laughter, telling of hidden kisses and impulsive decisions, the fire of alcohol and the electricity of released stress. a traditional party, one she couldn’t fathom why she was at. hours pass, and the girl allows herself to be pulled up the stairs by a girl she’s just met, a girl with cute freckles and sweaty bangs and a name that started with an s--or perhaps an m. w? v? lips pucker ever so gently as the student thinks about this, fiercely racking between her hazy, lilac-filtered thoughts in an effort to uncover the girl’s name. it’s futile, she realizes, giving up and quickly becoming invested in the gaudy gold paper taped to the ceiling in spirals, the confetti raining down from a popper a boy burst above them. the two of them stumble amid red solo cups and scattered snacks in fits of giggles, bare feet clumsily navigating their way to where the girls were hiding out. bubbles of laughter ring out through the air, and the girl finds her shoulders relaxing, gently stumbling over the last step and straightening up with more confidence than perhaps needed. v, as aurora decides to name her, clicks the door’s latch open, dragging the artist inside without hesitation and settling down amongst the tangle of bodies inside. as in most parties, they were all fairly tipsy, and as in most parties, the multitude of girls were playing truth or dare. a slight cynical thought passes through the girl’s mind, but she waves it away, eyes lighting up excitedly as entities she never knew spilled secrets too deep to be told sober. it’s when there’s a knock on the door that she blinks out of her stupor, offering to open the door. “p-password?“ she teases through a little crack, letting an eye peep through at the boy asking for entrance. “you gotta have a password t-to enter!“
