gaze holds the smaller femmes with ease, brow arching as if to enhance the challenge. “  alright, cabrera.   ” there's a pause, body slowly slouching into the booth with ease, head tilting to the side. he knows better than to fully challenge and push his luck, but that didn't stop them from ordering the food prior to nora sitting down. “  do you trust me?   ”

viridian gaze matches theirs , legs folded beneath the table that separates them in a way of comfort that doesn't come so easily these days , arms folded over one another as femme leans forward . " c'mon on then , forrester . " brow raised , lips twisted in a half amused smile . " objectively , yes . with your choices in food , not so much ! "

practice wasn't scheduled today, silence ironically echoing around the walls of the ice rink. the chilled air providing a sense of calm and serenity as bottom of pen is lightly bitten between pearly whites. one notebook balanced on her lap while another is teetering the miniscule armrest next to her, reading the statistics of players she had requested earlier in the week. footsteps pull her from the absentminded humming that vibrates her throat, turning towards the sound with wide eyes. “  shit, sorry. is the rink called for?   ” she's already packing her things before realization dons. “ etta, right? the coaches daughter?   ”

soft sweater stretches over cold fingertips as footsteps still . the rink was almost like a second home , her father practically lived and breathe the ice , being at michu was no different . " no , not called for . " sweet , pristine tone sweeps towards the other , turning as fingers tuck tightly into the back pockets of demin . " yeah , that would be me , please no rush ? coach called a dinner night , but he's stuck in the office and i thought the boys were down here , thought i'd come sneak a peak . " it's not an entire lie , she'd come down in search of a specific someone .

sloane  drinks  the  sounds  coming  from  fee,  lips  pouring  all  the  emotions  swirling  in  her  brain onto the other.  she  was  shocked  fee  hadn't  stopped  either  of  them  at  this  point  but  sloane  was  not  going  to  complain  at  all.  as  drew's  lips  meet  her  neck  she  lets  a  breathy  sound  escape  into  fee's,  her  hand  on  his  neck  trickling  up  to  interlock  with  his  hair.  between  the  two  sets  of  lips  on  her,  sloane  felt  ecstatic,  did  she  knew  what  they  were  doing  ?  no,  did  she  knew  if  this  was  at  all  a  good  idea?  also  no  but  she  would  worry  about  that  some  other  time  when  she  didn't  feel  as  good  as  she  did  in  that  moment.  the  brunette  pulls  away  from  fee  and  smiles  at  her  ,  she  barely  has  enough  time  to  process  how  little  space  there  is  between  all  of  them  before  drew  is  diving  for  his  second  fill.  her  grin  watching  them  is  cut  short  as  she  feels  his  hand  on  her  skin,  she  hums  in  approval  as  he  lowers  it  and  inches  closer  to  tug  on  his  lobe  with  her  teeth  and  leave  a  couple  of  pecks  on  his  jaw  before  she  turns  her  attention  back  to  fee.  free  hand  brushes  the  blonde  tresses  behind  the  other  and  she  lowers  herself  to  take  advantage  of  her  disgustingly  hot  tiny  outfit  by  letting  her  lips  hungrily  leave  trails  of  kisses  up  neck  and  shoulders. @icedruins

she'd had her own moment of weakness with them , not just now , but between everything coming to light and this moment . she's had their lips against her skin , mouths between thighs , their names on her mouth . but this was different . this burned through her veins with a new need that hand her hand finding purchase on any available part of their bodies . hands in her hair now and her mouth completely occupied by him , she sighs softly , half curving into him of sheer muscle memory , hand that hadn't found home behind his neck and the other , cool from the air that chilled the kitchen , settles on the back of thigh , curving upwards beneath the hem of skirt . " fuck ... " spoken into plush lips as skin pinks beneath ministrations . eyes that don't belong coast over bodies but the blonde can't bring herself to care , let them watch as her mind blanks and eyes flutter closed completely .

" i'm sorry again for being like ... the suckiest roommate ever " summer gushes , expression apologetic as she reaches for the fellow blondes hand , " — i promise we'll like have more nights together . like themed movie and cocktail board nights ! "

" oh don't be silly , you are not ! " exclaimed in a tone that matches easily . fingers pushing back tendril out of face as head shakes sharply . " summer , you're in love , go enjoy that ! don't worry about me , i'm a big girl , i miss you , but like that just makes moments like this all the sweeter ! "

“ what do you want ? ” she questioned, her eyes narrowing as she squeezed the white paper bag in her hand. “ please hurry up and be annoying, my ice is melting and my food is getting cold. ” of course, teddy would be the person to spot her during the midday break she forced herself to take. as she kept walking carson hoped he’d do the same, but something in her gut told her she wasn’t getting away that easy.

grin turns vulpine , canines visible in smile as heavy arm dropped over shoulders , falling into step with the blonde easily . his route immediately changing and now doubt making him late for his lecture . " oh now , you're so grumpy , carson . " he takes no notice of the attitude , or at least , he doesn't let it bother him .

eager grin gives way to soft hands that slide along the ridge of shoulders until they can loop around back of neck without a second thought . it's an action she never would of attempted sober , but the haze she lingered in left her warm , left her pressed against him as a body passed behind her , bodies jostling . " it's nora . " though cheeks pinked as nose scrunched inwards , half draped across him . " mhmm , that punch bowl is super dangerous though . you look really good , did i say that already ? "

a small , quiet smile pulls lips upward as fingers stir spoon through ceramic mug . " you know when i asked what was on your mind , frey , the tornado habits of east lansing was not what i expected to hear . " she's teasing , mug lifted and raised to painted lips .

" i'm sorry , i'm sorry , you had me at beer cheesecake . " because typical twenty something male , his immediate response was to latch on to the potential for a party . and beer cheesecake sounded right up his alley . " babes , how do you expect me to choose , you're wicked at this , they're all fucking good and i haven't even tried it . "

a  shake  of  her  head  mixed  with  a  playful  eye  roll.  one  that  isn't  annoyed,  but  is  actually  playful,  just  trying  to  give  off  a  ‘  hard  to  get  ’  vibe.  “  of  course.  ”  she  repeats  after  the  other  and  nods.  “  and  you  didn't  think  to  save  me  from  scooby  doo  back  there  ?  ”  she  points  behind  her,  to  no  particular  place.  although,  once  again,  she  didn't  spend  time  with  anyone  really,  she's  still  going  to  use  it.  “  that's  a  real  shame,  magic  mike.  ”

" now why would i do that , daphne ? " lopsided grin brandishes face , a flash of lifted brows to accompany the tease on his lips . " i am a lover of all things getting laid , why would i hinder someone elses chances ? " he chuckles at the slight dig of lazy costume . " but hey , you escaped on your own , no damsel in distress for you , right ? "

" now nora . " the male started , hand pressed to his chest as he tried to muster the most serious expression he could pull together . " why on earth would i have been the one to move ? i'm an athlete , a picture of poise , i had us perfectly tucked into that little gap , if i was moving , it was only because of how much you kept wriggling and i'm simply a man ! "

green eyes follow the path his hand makes before it settles on chest , teeth catching lower lip as she shakes her head almost so rapidly it could roll off her shoulders . " no , no ! that's not what happened , you can't use that as an excuse . " own palm moves , pressing into his chest close enough for pinky finger to overlap lightly . " i'm an athlete too i was so not wriggling ! " she's adamant that she was not the cause of the pair of them being found .

" glad you finally noticed . " her hum was light , taunting . whilst she had never intended for her outfit to make her look attractive to anyone in particular . as she had slipped into the one piece earlier that night there had been a passing thought at just how much maverick might like what he saw . had anyone else paid attention ? she wasn't sure . she had been too busy trying to get drunk . looking up at him despite her heels , bellamy gave a small nod , fingers finding the loops of his trousers , tugging him close . " okay , we're good . "

eyes move down towards where her fingers hooked around costume belt loops , lips pulling upwards . " we're good . " he repeats again , palms warm against her skin as he pulls her closer and presses mouth back to hers , like he can't help himself . and he'd be unlikely admit it to anyone else right now but he really couldn't help himself .

eyes close for a moment, head nodding slowly as if to emphasize an understanding to the words. “  we are and it's fuckin' shit. were clearly the best people around here, should probably start treating ourselves as such, y'know?   ”

" our bodies are temples , right ? " rhetorical on lips , followed by a mouthful from solo cup in hand . " why are we putting such trash in them . " tone laced with innuendo , glancing over shoulder towards where frat boy disappeared to .

i'm sorry. the two words ring in his ears, leaving what he thought would've been relief but only instigating the emptiness that previously formed. skin is on fire, irritated, suit no longer enjoyable but something he wanted to rip off in hopes to find solace. it stings more than comforts, salt ground into the freshly opened wound, a reminder of the silence and heaviness that followed her abrupt departure. a secluded individual, someone that never showed full true colors, hiding behind impulsivity or idiocy, finding the masks easier to show than strip self to vulnerability. she'd known his demons, quiet talks in the kitchen over hot cocoa in the winter or popsicles in the summer. someone that knew his wants, and fears, and someone that listened without judgment before providing encouraging words. a safety person ripped away without warning or explanation; reminder as to why the masks worked. solidifying the answer to the consistently asked question: why don't you let anyone all the way in? an irony that's bitter, running into the last person he opened up to after finally opening up to lola. new and old insecurities beginning to surface, seeping into cells and migrating throughout his system. he turns slowly, looking towards the slightly raised hand and then upwards to look at her. “  thanks.   ” a beat. “  wasn't that hard, was it?   ”

she's not stupid enough to believe that the simple : i'm sorry would fix everything , not when he'd forced it from her . though it was meant all the same . there was a reason she'd avoided him still . random run ins with half the team , some she knew , some she wasn't once so close to , and even the reason for her panicked disappearance . but there were two people she still couldn't face . noah was different , noah was . . . noah . but the two that remained , scared her more than anything , because while her heart was always securely in their friends hands , she had built something with elijah that ran deeper than what could be considered just friendship in the most platonic of ways . shoulders dip low , hands drop to the side , fingers tuck into her fabric of her skirt , brows furrowed . there was nothing she could say , and his words stab and twist in her chest . " i'm sorry . " she repeated .

“You gotta have a fault, come on!”
