"NOW, THIS IS A SICKENINGLY ADORABLE SIGHT."
Flora startled, a hand outstretched for no particular reason, like she'd swat away whoever was disturbing her. She squinted, being greeted by dyed blonde hair and cat-like eyes, "Ezra?" She tried, voice slightly croaky.
"Good morning," Ezra Knox greeted with a smile. "I just came by to grab Eric's sword." She grabbed it from it's stand by the window.
"What's sickeningly adorable?" Flora questioned as she tucked her wild curly hair behind her ears before trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes.
"Well," Ezra stepped over something on the floor, chuckling as she did so before sitting beside Flora. "Your hand was outstretched to dear Sawyer's hand on the floor here." She gestured with her foot. Flora glanced down and smiled at the sleeping girl. "Are you two... "
"Work in progress, I'd say," Flora whispered to the young girl with a cheeky grin. Ezra smirked, patting her shoulder. "She's the exact same as she was then."
"Awh, don't reminisce your old moments like grandma, Flo," Ezra lightly pushed her shoulder before getting up. Just as she was about to leave, she doubled back. "Oh, and could you wake Sawyer up soon? Something about the Alumni Banquet."
"Will do, bye bye, now," Flora got up and stumbled forward, shutting the door and kicking the girl out. She laid back down, collecting her thoughts and letting her body fully wake up.
Sawyer helped with that. The girl had jumped up and onto the bed. "Jesus Christ," Flora said, her heart beating a mile a minute. "Chill, please, Sawyer."
"Can't. Alum Banquet means my dads are coming," Sawyer shrugged, standing up and stretching her arms. She knew that Flora would stare, and when she did, all the air fairy did was smile. "Also, there's a chance that I can slip a bottle of champagne away from the crates. Eric and I did that at the last one."
"Oh, yeah," Flora said, finally realizing what memory she was referring to. "I remember talking Ezra out of barging into the bathroom where you were holding Eric's hair out of his face while he threw up."
Sawyer flopped onto the bed beside her, smiling, "Oh, that was fun." Flora smiled at her, and comfortable silence blanketed the room as they simply smiled at each other.
"I am entering the room! If you two are doing anything, jump apart!" Eric's voice came from outside the door. Flora scoffed so loud that Sawyer burst out laughing.
"Even if we were, we'd probably ignore you," Flora playfully said, making Sawyer's eyebrows raise. Without looking, Flora lightly kicked her from under the sheets since she was still in her bed.
