       ”Some guy in a bar,” Actually, he was a bit proud of himself, as he wasn’t that bad off, and he had done some damage on the man who had decided to mess with him. “He decided it’d be a good idea to hit on Ev, and didn’t listen when she told him to stop.” Of course, he’d step in to protect his little sister. “Do you think the black eye will go away soon? I think it makes me look like a bit of a badass, but it’s getting kinda hard to see.”

Milo had always had a bad habit of saying things he shouldn't--especially when he was drunk. And it seemed that habit had come to bite him in the ass when what he'd thought was a pretty funny comment about his beer pong opponent only resulted with a lot of spilled beer and a rather busted lip. 

Everyone's a critic. 

He wasn't embarrassed persay; Milo was more self-aware than most (albeit retrospectively) and rarely denied responsibility for his actions nor the reactions they gained. But that didn't make the swelling of his bottom lip and its accompanying pain any less annoying. And as he watched Noah approach from the other side of the room--no doubt to poke fun--he readied his best pout, prepared to combat her teasing with feigned innocence.

What he wasn't prepared for was the touch of her fingers over slightly bruised cheek and playfully curled lips as she spoke: "Let me kiss it better."
