Go figure. Peace did not last long, and he watched as a gaggle of girls swarmed around the most obnoxiously-colored boy he'd ever seen. They poked and prodded and cooed at him so sweetly, and he couldn't help the grin he tried to bury under the bite of his lip. Poor sucker. Sen snorted his amusement at the pink boy's growing annoyance with his predicament, one he must have to deal with fairly often with that loud color of his. A magnet for attention, that one. Better not get anywhere near him.
Then his mirth was neatly stolen as the boy bit one of the girls on the nose and headed straight for his hideout. His little brows folded tight and his nose scrunched in disgust, watching this pink brat lick the blood off his muzzle and tromp right in to his concealed sanctuary. Peace was so hard to find around here. He wished Mom would come back for him already so they could leave.
He stood and settled his wings silently as the boy looked him over, both their faces pinched in wariness of the other. "Look, we don't have to be friends or whatever, I just needed a place to hide from those fucking twits 'til my mom comes to get me, okay?" He gave a sharp, non-committal shrug, his displeasure at the intrusion written all over his face. Whatever.
"That was cruel. You shouldn't bite people that way," he chided as though he knew these things. Mom had certainly never done such a thing, and Dad wasn't around enough to know if it was acceptable, really, but he didn't think it was. His face slowly transformed despite his best efforts, though. "Did you see her face?" he snickered. "Maybe that will teach them. You must have to do that a lot. You're not exactly easy to miss."
His frown tightened as another joined them, and he rolled his eyes at the boy for attracting yet another girl. Now his solitude was well and thoroughly murdered.
"Somebody drown your puppies?" she asked, her wide, blue eyes naturally secured on the billboard-bright little brat. He huffed, annoyed and no longer amused with the company, his immaterial wings ruffling. He side-stepped the both of them and turned his back.
"What is it with people. Can't a guy get some space around here?" he spat over his shoulder and walked away a few paces, gray eyes scanning for another place he could disappear to until Mom came back. Too bad he couldn't just wander off. It was still tempting to get far away from this place, but he could never be the cause of her worry or distress.
Damn. Not a single free space. Figures.
He tossed another glare at them as if it were their fault everywhere else was filled with more noisy kids, then settled in the shadows not nearly as far from his original place as he would have liked. Fine. Whatever. He'd just ignore them, then. He kept his back to them and vigilantly looked elsewhere as he stood sentry next to a different tree.
So sorry for the wait! <3
