☾ cry baby

They wanted blood, so you painted your lips red and blew the wolves a kiss.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist, it was a golden opportunity! Aw c'mon now, don’t be upset! Forgive me?”

“S’okay, I probably would’ve done the same thing,” she assured him, a bright smile tugging on her lips. “However, don’t be surprised when I see my golden opportunity as well.”

DANTE WANTED TO ROLL HIS EYES AT HER REPLY, but for some reason a smirk toyed his lips instead. “i wasn’t thinking clear, then, obviously. you’re too whiny for me.”.❞

“How dare I?” Mabel gasped, sarcasm filling up her words, “being whiny and expressing my opinion by telling you no.” She didn’t even bother to roll her eyes this time, realizing she already sounded annoyed. “Of course you’d be the kind of guy who likes his girls to be pliant.” 

June shrugged. “Usual,” She told her simply. “I’m still struggling to adjust to this cold weather after coming from California.” She rolled her eyes. “What about yourself? I haven’t really caught you since I arrived back.”

Mabel nodded in understanding. “The weather is the worst, to be honest,” she replied with a grin. “But you’ll get used to as soon as you buy yourself a ton of cute sweaters.” She couldn’t help but shrug as soon as June asked how she was. “I’ve been busy with classes and such; just the boring stuff, honestly.”

Mabel nodded as his words. “I already like you,” she decided right then and there before a smile toyed on her lips. “Who are you, though? I’m fairly certain I haven’t had the privilege to talk to you yet.”

Oh, come here grumpy! I always pay attention. Almost…

Mabel couldn’t help but laugh. “Didn’t you get the memo, then? I’m in constant need of attention --- like a proper cat, I guess.” It didn’t take her long to wrap her arms around her tightly, hoping that it’d show how much she missed her best friend. “But your move was flawless, Tara. Like always, basically.”

Wait, did you see that? I almost managed to do the move.

“And I almost managed to hug you if only you paid me some more attention.”

ROLLING HIS EYES ONCE MORE, dante shook his head. “why is it that each time i see you, you’re complaining about guys groping you ?”.❞

“To be fair, it only happened twice and I’m fairly certain you were the one groping me the first time,” Mabel explained as she shrugged, a small smile toying on her lips. 

“No that’s just disgusting and vile. Men can be such pigs, it’s disgusting.”

Mabel nodded in agreement before a sigh fell from her lips. “How have you been, though? I’d much rather talk about you than give those men any more attention.”

“Kinky, I like that—I’m just joking but if you’re going to grab my bum, grab it tight. Okay, so it might’ve not been an accident and you don’t deserve that. But if you tell me who did it then I’ll beat him up.”

Mabel couldn’t help but smile once he was finished speaking and slapped his bum gently. “Of course you’d be into that kind of stuff.” Her smile only widened as he offered to beat them up, but she still chose to shake her head no. “S’lovely that you offer, but they won’t bother me anymore.”

Mabel actually managed to laugh at his words despite still feeling a little upset. “I’ll surely remember that for next time it happens --- thanks for the advice, though.”
