Chanyeol sighed pouring himself another drink. He’d like to say that he didn’t know how he ended up in the rooftop garden at another of the exclusive parties thrown by the Life and Death Brigade, but it wasn’t exactly a secret that the familiar was quite fond of a certain member running around the party in one of his stolen hoodies, and Chanyeol liked to keep an eye on him as much as possible, especially when alcohol and whatever else was floating around the party was involved.
He took a sip of his creation immediately grimacing and searching the table for a way to attempt to atone for the sin he had created. Unfortunately, it seemed Chanyeol’s struggle with potions was perfectly reflected in his ability to mix drinks. There had to be juice or something, fuck. He didn’t even hear Seulgi approach the table over the music, so when a little hand shot out past his side to go for the same bottle as him, he was surprised, to say the least.
“Go ahead,” he gestured for her to take the bottle before him. She looked like a girl who knew what she was doing, and Chanyeol would probably end up pouring a bit of everything in until it was somewhat tolerable and then chugging it. He had never been particularly close with Seulgi, but she had been Taemin’s best friend since they were kids, so the familiar always put forth his best effort to be civil towards her. Other than that, he didn’t have any particularly strong feelings towards the witch, for or against.
Maybe it was the abomination in his cup full of god knows what or maybe it was just Chanyeol being Chanyeol, but when some dude crashed into Seulgi without so much as a sorry, something inside Chanyeol switched in an instant. Before the guy knew what was happening, the familiar had a fist full of his shirt hauling him backwards and turning him so they were face to face. “Touch her again and I’ll rip your head off,” he growled. Nothing surprising about that, but the sound of Seulgi’s voice speaking at the same time with an equally harsh tone caught him off guard.
“What did you say?” He asked, turning to face her with a delighted, dimpled grin. He didn’t quite catch her words, but he had got the gist of it. Maybe he did like her after all or could, at least.
