who: @rhiannonfalla where: dorm party when: right as the game of spin the bottle is kicking off
Nate was used to Rhia hanging off of him at a party, regardless of who else was in the picture. It always seemed like she ended up in his lap for at least a portion of the night, and despite the….shift between them, with what happened at homecoming, there was no difference that night. She had slipped away briefly to go get another drink and was on her way back when someone grabbed her, suggesting spin the bottle. Nate’s lips turned downwards slightly, though he didn’t say anything, his spine stiffening as he waited for her answer. And of course she said she would play, Nate’s irritation with that spiking as she glanced back at him.
Spurred on by the alcohol, by not wanting to watch her walk away, Nate reached out, grabbing her by the waist as he pulled her back to him, so she was standing between his legs, back flush to his front. He gently slid his arm around her waist, wrapping around her to hold onto her opposite hip, tucking his chin into the crook of her neck. “You’re gonna go play a game to find someone else to kiss when I’m right here?” he said into her ear.
