Their Hometown

"Damn it Quin, stop making me blush, it's embarrassing. I don't want to just be red for the rest of my life, it's not that great a look on me." Art said. Quincey gave Art a teasing smile. "Aw but its a cute look for you!" Quincey was going all out with the teasing today, he hoped he didn't make Art mad with all of it. But it was just the mood he was in. After all they would be living together from now on. Even if they couldn't legally get married because of the stupid rules against gay marriages. But Quincey didn't care about those rules, if they really wanted to they'd find a way to get past them.

Art couldn't control his blush even if he tried, and he was indeed trying desperately to calm his blush. He stood, shaking his head and laughing slightly, "Jeez guys what is this? 'Tease Art' Day?" He was still blushing, trying to find any reason not to blush. "And it's not my fault! I was born this way." He pouted, crossing his arms in front of his chest. But Art turned to smile a little at Jessica, "Oh right I must look great all red hair and red face, great pair." he said sarcastically. When Art heard the comment Quin made about him being cute he bit his lip, shooting him a playful glare, his lips curving up slightly into a smile. "I swear Quin you are going to get it once everyone leaves." Art smiled a little at his 'treat'. Of course he could never even think about hurting Quincey but that doesn't mean he can't give vague threats from time to time.

Mara shrugged a bit, "Well maybe I can look into how to make those kind of drinks for you in the future... Either way, I'm looking forward to tonight, see how you act after a few beers." She opened her eyes and folded her arms behind her head as she looked to Effy. "You sure you don't wanna take a nap?... You look pretty sleepy to me, you were up kinda late last night." Her head tilted to the side as she spoke. "I'm usually asleep by the time you get to bed so I don't often get to see you sleep but you get to see me sleep all the time, it's not fair if you ask me." Mara gave a small smirk, she was half-teasing and half-sincere in her statement. I know it's silly but sometimes I feel like she likes those books more than me... Heh. She closed her eyes again and let a small sigh escape her lips.

chis couldn't help but laugh as Art attempted to stop blushing. He wasn't laughing to be mean or anything, he just laughed because it was really funny when Art's face turned as red as his hair.
"I wonder whats taking Steph and Amara so long...I want some cake...." Chris said, probably seeming like an impatient child. When it came to sweets he usually didn't want to wait long to eat them.

The little tigers in his critter pouch started fussing so Chris moved a little farther from the group and rocked them like he would rock a baby to soothe them. Chris hummed a simple soothing tune. Most of the time he would just sing quietly, his voice seemed to soothe fussy baby animals. He wasn't singing this time because his friends and his girlfriend were in the room and Chris didn't like to sing in front of other human beings. Not even Jess had ever heard him sing before, and he planned on keeping it that way. Chris wasn't confident enough with his voice to sing in front of people, and probably never would be. Not that it really mattered, he would never be put in a situation where he had to sing anyways. At least he didn't think he would.

Once the little cubs settled down, and fell asleep, Chris rejoined the group, hoping that cake was coming soon.
