fun fact : wynn originally didn't have a name at all (much like the other members of his pack), and the current name actually came from mao. i like to think that at some point she overheard the word "win" from the scientists, learned what it meant and ended up suggest it as wynn's name (she thought it fits his persona)
the only problem was that wynn wasn't particularly good at writing back then so somewhere along the way, "win" ended up becoming "wynn" instead
Below you will find the adventures of AJ & Lily after the New Years Eve party.
(Mentions: Grizzly, Charlie)
Lilianna was wandering around the remnants of the party, picking up stray cans and bottles to recycle. Suddenly she spotted a familiar face.
AJ was pissed drunk, tripping over himself and most of the people around him as he made his way towards the cooler that contained various drinks. He got distracted, however, at the sight of Lily being her usual angelic self. "Lil," He slurred happily. "Did you get your New Years kiss? Was Charlie just amazing?" He grinned, making his way over to her
"AJ!" Her smile began bright, but faltered when she realized he was intoxicated. "I did, and from what I saw most people got one so I'm not that special. Did /you/ get one?" Lily's smile became more of a concerned smirk as he walked him drunkenly walk.
"Several," AJ declared proudly, a smirk on his bright red lips. "But, you're the most special. You found love in a hopeless place!" He informed her with a laugh, clutching his stomach with how much he was cracking himself up.
"Several? Well, uh, that's fun. Was one of them your soul mate by any chance?" She asked before her eyebrows knitted together. "How much have ya had ta drink exactly?" Lily's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
"My soulmate?" AJ repeated, eyes bright as he looked around the room. "Is my soulmate here? You know who it is?" He asked, looking to her hopefully. "Oh you know, a drink here or there," He grinned, waving it off. "Three when I came in and then one for every kiss? I lost count. I think seven hundred. I like that number. What's your favorite number?" AJ smiled lazily, wrapping Lily into a hug, hanging off of her like a monkey.
"Either way that's an awful lot," Lilianna glanced around them before looking back to AJ, wondering if he was the only one acting this odd."Oh my goodness- Okay AJ," Lily laughed nervously as she caught him hanging offer her like a child. "I think I need ta take ya back ta your house. I don't even think you'd make it back if ya tried." the brunette chucked as she hoisted his arm around her shoulder.
"The party's not over yet," AJ whined, not one to be left out of an event like the one they were at. "It's so lonely at my place. There's no one to hang out with or cuddle or kisssss. It's New Years. I deserve kisses," He protested, pouting ridiculously as she began to readjust him. He was fed up with people trying to take away his kisses.
"It may not be over but it's 2016 and don't ya want ta make it through this year just like last year?" Lily asked softly. "AJ you've gotten so many kisses tonight ya can't even count 'em. That many kisses'll last ya at least 24 hours, if not the entire year."
AJ frowned at Lily's reasoning and sighed, burying his face in his own shoulder. "I don't wanna go home alone," He muttered, still acting like an absolute child, the smell of alcohol prominently stuck to his clothes. "I wanna stay and party. There's still music playing, Lily! It's not over!"
"AJ," Lily's soft voice quieted slightly as she reasoned with him like the children she volunteered with. "Do ya really want ta stay here alone, or do ya want ta come back with me? I'll make ya deal- I'll stay and party with ya if ya promise you'll walk me back ta your apartment first." offering a small smile, she hoped that he'd pass out by the time they'd get back so she wouldn't have to stay with him.
"You want to party at my apartment?" AJ beamed, brightening up at her suggestion because his apartment /would/ be a pretty fun place to have a party right now. "Okay! I don't think I have a lot to eat right now, though. Do you like apples? I always have apples. The green are my favorite," He rambled, completely ready for this new and improved party.
Lilianna let out a relieved sigh. "Well I prefer apples over bananas if that's what ya mean. C'mon, let's get walkin' sir." She smiled as she moved slowly towards the barn door.
AJ followed after Lily, glad that she'd made such a wonderful suggestion because his bed did sound super nice at the moment. "I can finally show you my pillows! Guess what color my pillows are," He encouraged, grinning at his friend. "I'll give you a hint. They're my absolute favorite color."
"Oh gosh, okay... are they... gold? Or maybe blue?" The brunette felt a twinge of guilt for not knowing what his favorite color was. "Did ya get 'em for Christmas?" Lily asked as she continued walking, trying to keep a smile on her face while darting her eyes around to make sure he wasn't about to run into anyone that would distract him.
"Nope, neither of those!" AJ exclaimed, shaking his head as they continued to head towards the exit. "Nope, I've had them for forever. They're the best pillows ever. Lavender is the best color ever. Wanna know why it's the best color ever? Cause it's pretty, but not like in-your-face pretty, you know? Just a subtle pretty that not everyone appreciates. I want to fall in love with someone like that, I think. Someone who not everyone appreciates."
"I'm sorry I didn't know that. But that is definately a 'you' color." The brunette nodded as she glanced both ways before crossing the path carefully in stride with AJ. "Honestly I don't think anyone's appreciated enough." Lilianna shrugged and tried not to crack a smile. "But it's duly noted you'd like a Lavender person. I will keep that in mind for when I spot 'em."
AJ stumbled slightly, knocking his foot against something that nearly made him lose balance, but he quickly used Lily to help anchor himself. "Yay," He cheered when his friend saved him from falling. "I made a Match.com profile, did you hear?" He told her excitedly. "And I met this guy named Grizzly and he goes to our school! And he's really pretty. He's kind of grouchy, but he's super nice, I think," He rambled, pointing to a rock on the ground. "Wow! Look at that one. I've gotta add that to my collection."
Gasping as he tripped, Lily stopped and attempted to hold him up. After letting out a sigh of relief, she perked up. " Grizzly's on Match.com?" the girl muttered. "Ya met Bear! He's a very nice person once ya get past all his grumbles and all. Although I'm not sure he's very Lavender." Gazing down at the rock, Lily nodded with a confused smile. "Ya have a rock collection?"
"He's not very lavender at all. Not a lot of people are," AJ hummed, trying to think of what color Grizzly might be. "I don't have one, but I /could/," He grinned, bending down to grab the peculiar looking rock. "I found an awesome one yesterday, but Nico really wanted it, so I let him have it," He informed his friend brightly, in spec'ing the rock once he picked it up. "Heyyy, I thought it was blue, but it's just regular gray."
" I's say he's more of an Evergreen. Kinda scary and dark but nice when mixed with the right surroundings." Shrugging, the girl nearly let out a laugh when he mentioned his new collection but stopped herself. "So basically you're startin' off your New Years with a new rock collection. That's not the worst idea I've heard." she beamed. "Maybe ya could paint it blue?" Lily offered, immediately regretting giving him the idea.
"He's all manly," AJ swooned, unsure if he was still talking about Grizzly or not. "What a good idea, Lily! I'll start a rock collection," He gasped. His friend was just so brilliant sometimes. "We should paint it lavender instead," He smiled lazily, turning the rock over in his hands. "Want to help me name it?"
"Very much so. He likes the outdoors too." she nodded with a small smile, not sure where his statement was going. "Well you've gotta name it a very Lavender name," Lilianna insisted as she began walking again. "What does a lavender name sound like to ya?"
"/I/ like the outdoors," AJ reminded her, wiggling his eyebrows cause they were definitely onto something. "Koby, of course," He answered as if it were absolutely obvious. "Hey, Lily," He began, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Do you think you and Charlie are gonna get married?"
"Well then you two will live a very nice life in a cabin in the woods then." Lily smiled at him, nodding along as he spoke until he mentioned Charlie. Catching her throat, she stuttered. "Ah- um, Charlie has an awful long way ta go before even graduatin' so... I mean...I don't know. I'd like to. Eventually. I think that'd be nice. But it's not all my decision." the girl shrugged again as she watched AJ carefully. "Ya want ta know a secret? Ya can't tell anyone, not even Charlie."
"No cabins in the woods," He crinkled his nose because he quite liked his apartment. "Is he going to be a fancy doctor? Did you know his dad's a doctor! He's gonna test my head to make sure I'm not stupid," He filled Lily in, trying to look up at his head. "I'm the best secret keeper in the world," AJ promised when the other brought it up. "Promise, promise, promise! What 's the secret?"
Lilianna tisked quietly, looking over at her friend. "AJ... you are not stupid. And I am very sure he is gonna make Charlie and I rest much easier knowin' that there's nothin' wrong with ya. We... just wanted ta check." She raised a singular dark brow. "Well if you're the best in the world..." Laughing quietly, she rubbed her arm from the cold. "It's not really that big of a deal. I just, uh, I think I'm love Charlie."
"You guys worry more than my actual parents do," AJ sighed, wrapping his arm around Lily again so she could help him as they continued walking. He let out a laugh at the confession, rolling his eyes slightly. "Well, duh. I knew that already. You two are goals. Can you adopt me already?" He hummed, letting his eyes slip shut to keep the world from spinning too much.
"Sorry, it's just something we both seem ta be rather good at. Hey! It's not funny. We've already adopted ya, didn't they tell ya?" Lilianna tightened her hold on AJ as she watched his eyes shut. "Yanno it's much easier ta walk when ya can see where you're goin'." the girl reminded carefully.
