"WHAT THE HELL, are you blind by any chance?" Riven swore, hands static in the air, the chill taking over as he felt the punch in Viperine's cup dampen his shirt

"WHAT THE HELL, are you blind by any chance?" Riven swore, hands static in the air, the chill taking over as he felt the punch in Viperine's cup dampen his shirt.

"Idiot," she cursed back. "Look what you did!"

"I?" repeated Riven in disbelief. "Why are blondes always the dumbest?"

Viperine rolled her eyes in anger, huffing as she stretched out her own shirt and saw that she too had gotten wet. She wanted to throttle Riven, slam her head against the wall until she had a head injury. If Anakin were a little bigger, it would be easy to get rid of that boy's skinny body. However...

"What are you looking at?" he exclaimed nervously, trying to stand out from her. "Huh?"

"Oh, you little..."

"There's alcohol in it here," he stated, cutting her off and sniffing at her shirt. "Who knew the blonde wasn't such a saint."

"I never said I was a saint," she hissed through her teeth.

"I'm starting to realize that, blondie."

Viperine rolled her eyes, not holding back her grimace—something like disgust—as she saw that Riven's teasing and hostile gaze reflected much more than that. Without holding back, he looked her up and down, memorizing every detail of her body.

He glanced down the hall and at the curve behind it, knowing full well that it opened onto an empty room that was nothing but dusty boxes and documents yellowed with age. If there was one thing Alfea could keep, it was papers from the beginnings of all realms and dimensions.

"What were you doing there?" he asked, pointing behind her.

"Does it matter?" He shot back defensively.

"Considering you spiked your punch with vodka, I'd say that's enough for Dowling to put you in detention for a week," he teased. "Perhaps an expulsion?"

Viperine crossed her arms, the act inadvertently causing Riven's traitorous eyes to stare at the cleavage of her clothing. She grinned evilly as she watched him swallow hard as he was caught. He shouldn't be afraid of that fairy, not when she was considerably smaller than he was. Even so, something about Viperine's aura scared him deeply.

She took a step forward, trying to intimidate him. Riven inadvertently took a step back, creating an opening for her to move closer to him until he was deathly staring at each other with little space separating them.

"I thought finding the pastor's corpse was thrill enough for you for a day, Riven," she hissed mischievously. "Do you want more than that?"

Low blow. Viperine knew that, behind the bad boy image, Riven was still like a frightened child watching a horror movie, and witnessing that scene had had the same effect.

Unfortunately, Viperine witnessed the moment his body jerked in fear.She chuckled lightly, pleased with the result her words had brought him.

"Yeah, I didn't think so," she finally sighed.
