“Ho-ho-holy shit it’s almost Christmas.”

“No shit, Santa Claus,” Lui said, tossing his Nerf basketball as Gwen as she walked through the door of the room that he shared with Serenity. The three of them didn’t really have much respect for each other’s privacy; Rafe’s room, really, was the only one that was ‘sacred’, and that just meant they knocked when he was home in contrast to sneaking in and moving his stuff around when he wasn’t. “Did I not tell you about the girl last week who I heard asking if mistletoe boxers meant she had to give a blowjob?”

He didn’t mean to sound as cranky as he did, but as December had crept in without a word from his dad, Lui couldn’t help but feel a little down on the season. Most years, Maui was late with making plans to come and visit him, and there was the rare year where he wasn’t able to come at all... but Lui hated those years, and he really didn’t want this to be one of them. He didn’t want to make the trek home just to wake up to nothing but him and his mom on Christmas morning. 

He was sure if he told Gwen what was bugging him she wouldn’t mock him too mercilessly about it -- who knew, she might even get it. But serious wasn’t usually their thing -- lately, he’d kind of saved real feelings stuff for talking to Aster -- so instead he held his hands up, saying “Give me back my basketball and tell what you want me to do about it.”

“I don’t want to be friends with benefits, but I do want something more, I just can’t figure out what.”//“When did you get so beautiful?”//“If you’re going to dress like that, I’m not going to let you out of my sight.”//“Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine, I’m just saying.”

“I don’t want to be friends with benefits, but I do want something more, I just can’t figure out what.”

“You know they gotta name for that, right?” Marsh asked, rolling his eyes at Gwen. But the harshness of a few months back was gone -- he wasn’t annoyed by her comment, just fondly amused. It had taken him some time to see it, to get past the fact that she had changed but there were still glimpses of the girl he’d been so crazy about growing up in there, too. “And I thiiiink it’s called dating. Seems like all your roommates are trying it these days, maybe you should too,” he teased, poking her lightly in the side to see if she’d squirm at all. It wasn’t a topic he’d ever dared broach before, but why the hell not, right? He tried to play it casual, like he wouldn’t be disappointed if she totally disagreed with the statement, but on the inside, Marsh was waiting with bated breath, hoping maybe she was up for taking a chance on him.

“When did you get so beautiful?”

Sage blinked up at Tia, who’d been idly playing with her hair for most of their viewing of Clueless. It was the best she could do to try and cheer up her friend after her breakup with Kai, and by the tone in Tia’s voice, she kind of worried that she wasn’t doing it right. “Um, I don’t know? Sometime between when Kori told me I was a butterface and now, I guess,” she shrugged, sitting up and trying to ignore the way the baby hairs on her arm were standing up from nervousness. She loved Tia too much to want to be the next Freddie, to want to be kicked to the curb for being too smart or too pretty or whatever it was that might offend her sad friend, and she added quickly, “I can still go buy you a purse, you know! One that’ll like, be almost as beautiful as you are, the prettiest bag ever to go with like, the prettiest girl in Walt. Do you want me to?”

“If you’re going to dress like that, I’m not going to let you out of my sight.”

“Chill, it’s just a suit,” Lui snapped, sure that his defensiveness would give him away. But he didn’t want Gwen on his tail tonight of all nights, when he’d finally asked Aster to go out with him and do something nice, just the two of us. He refused to call it a date, just... two friends, going somewhere that he planned to pay for, dressing up to do it, whatever. It wasn’t a big deal, but Gwen following him? That instantly crossed it into weird territory, and he’d prefer if she didn’t find out where he was really going and mess it up. “And it’s to meet with my advisor so she’ll take me seriously and think I’m professional and stuff, so you can put away your sleuthing gear, there’s nothing to see here. Don’t follow me, or I’m going to prank you so hard everyday between now and graduation, which for me is totally going to be on time once I have this meeting, so... bye?”

“Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine, I’m just saying.” 

“Are you trying to call me stupid?” Sage asked, whirling around to face Bibi or Vivi or whatever her name was. God, could this girl not even wait until she was 20 feet away to start complaining to her. “I wasn’t like, trying to use a pickup line, I was just trying to talk to Wayland, why do you hate that so much?” She wrung her hands together nervously, hearing her fingers pop. Usually she said the first thing that came to her mind, but the first thing wasn’t usually so... revealing. “You don’t get to like, decide for him if he wants to hang out with me or hook up with me or whatever! And like, no offense, but who wouldn’t want to hook up with a hot girl who likes him?” she asked, hoping TIa wouldn’t get mad at her later for like, publicly confessing to actually kind of crushing on a dweeby dwarf boy.

“I dare you to kiss me.”/ “No, go on the Ferris Wheel with me, not them.” /“You can share my jacket with me, since you’re shivering.”

“I dare you to kiss me.”

Lui hated turning down a dare. Hated it more than anything... and it wasn’t as though he hadn’t kissed Gwen plenty of times in the past. Hooking up had kind of been what they’d done best, before Aster Olympus had come into his life and somehow managed to change everything. Still -- it would be so easy, to just give in, to avoid the taunting and the name-calling. To sabotage any chance he had with Aster when things had barely just begun, before she could get too attached and he could just end up hurting her later. Lui’s eyes dropped to Gwen’s lips, and he was so close to just leaning in and going for it the way he had so many times before -- but at the last second, he pushed himself up off the floor and walked away from the game instead. “Nah, I’m good -- I’m gonna go find Aster, she’s been in the kitchen kind of a long time.” 

“No, go on the Ferris Wheel with me, not them.” 

Sage rolled her eyes as Vivi appeared, right at the worst possible moment. Of course Wayland’s freaky giraffe best friend was like stalking them, of course. “Are you serious right now? You’re with him, like, all the time, you can survive for like five minutes.” Sage folded her arms over her chest, although her glare moved from Vivi to Wayland. It had taken a lot for her to get over herself and actually want to go out in public with him on what resembled a kind of date like thing, at a carnival where everyone could see them... and if Wayland chose VIvi over her, she was probably going to scream. Groaning, she decided it was better just to not give him the chance. “Whatever, losers, have fun; I’m going to go get Izzie to win me a stuffed animal instead.” 

“You can share my jacket with me, since you’re shivering.”

Sage was kind of freezing... but that didn’t stop her from narrowing her eyes at Kori, not trusting her sibling’s intentions for giving her a jacket like, at all. “Is there itching powder in this? Is it like, booby-trapped to squeeze really tight so I look like a human sausage and can’t get it off? Or worse, is it going to explode paint on me? Like, seriously, Kori, last time you didn’t even use purple, what is wrong with you!” Sage hugged her arms to her chest, doing her best to keep warm in her own way, and shook her head as a refusal. “Nope, thanks but no thanks for the offer, I totes don’t trust you to be nice, I’ll just go like, hug Izzie or something to keep warm instead.”

“ i shut down my playerness from new years to st. patty’s day. ”

“I getchu,” Lui replied, flashing Gwen a thumbs up as his eyes scanned the room full of Walt students. Not that he was looking for anyone in particular... well, not really. “That’s like, the worst time of the year to flirt with people. If you hit on them before Valentine’s Day, they wanna try to scam you into buying them presents on a day where you’d rather be pulling pranks, if you flirt with them right after Valentine’s they’re all vulnerable and heartbroken and turn into stage five clinger onners...” Lui tossed his drink back as his eyes locked on a blonde across the room, too busy with her brother to even look his way, and then he turned to Gwen, his face already twisted into a mischievous grin again. “Wanna just get out of here?” he asked, waving around at all the balloons and hearts and romantic lighting that had never appealed to him in the first place.
