Yesterday was the first day of winter, and snow is still falling to the icy ground. At least we haven't had stacks of snow, but still a decent amount that makes me worried we won't get out of the house waking up one day. I take out my phone, and browse the internet when all becomes chaos.
"MALL DAY!" A voice booms breaking my door down in a swift motion. "GARROTH ALEXANDER RO'MEAVE FOR THE LOVE MOTHER FUCKING IRENE!" I screech falling off my bed, and onto the floor. I grunt at the sudden impact, but force myself up looking at the reckless werewolf. He looks like a sad puppy about to get yelled at. Sighing, I give him a softer look.
"Sorry Gar, I know you love mall day, but my Irene please try to be not so abrupt next time." He nods slowly. Yup. I definitely scared him. Garroth's ears are extremely sensitive, so that must have ached... Before making this more awkward, I move towards him, and swing an arm around his shoulders. "MALL DAY!" I exclaim cheerfully, and the goofy grin returns wider.
❄️
When we finally reach the mall I swing my door open to be greeted by Garroth immediately grabbing my hand. His grin is spread ear to ear, and he pulls me along to the entrance to the Phoenix Drop Mall.
I understand Garroth well, he's a mall freak, and it make him more adorable than he already is. Which of course is really freaking hard for me for the bright hue growing on my cheeks from his starred eyes to his determination. This mall day is special in peculiar because we are looking for presents for our friends to give at Aph's Christmas party. I have not a clue what I'm getting Garroth, and it's frustrating me. I mean, we've been friends for a long time, so of course I know what he likes, but I do have one idea I mind...
A Kiss under the Mistletoe...?
Because well... I've been meaning to confess, but for the love of Irene I've no fucking clue what Garroth's sexual orientation is! I do remember I asked him a few days ago, and well...
"Hey Gar?" I ask walking over to the Blonde on the couch. His left ear pins down, but nods his head. My lips tighten together, and twiddle my fingers. "D-Do- I uh- What's your sexual orientation?" I finally splutter out, but get a huge reaction from Garroth who's eyes shoot wide, and his other ear pins down. "D-D- I uhhh. W-Well-" All the sudden he stops when he hears his phone ring. "H-Hey! L-Look a-at t-that! M-My m-mommy's calling!" He takes one more look at me, and rushes up the stairs.
So, yeah... I'm starting to get the feeling he definitely isn't straight, but I don't know what. Pan, Bi... Maybe even gay, but wait- no he liked Aphmau.. Ughh I don't even know! Well, I've to start somewhere.
If Garroth rejects the kiss than I really didn't give him anything good so I'll buy him something... and everyone else...
"Laurance?" I jump, and scream like a 12 year boy with voice cracks. He snorts, and scrunches up his face. "You sound like the Laurance a met on the first day of Freshman year!" He starts laughing, and I'm sat here thinking how dare he. I groan, grabbing his hand this time, and start to pull him along with me. I look back at him to see a face splashed with winter berries. I guess he wasn't expecting me to grab his hand...

Blaze.....
I glare at the name on the paper. Who is he? I tap Garroth on the shoulder who is carrying bags of gifts.
"Hm?" He cocks his head, and I point to the name on the paper.
"Who is Blaze?" I question while Garroth's ears perk up, and he "ooohs" nodding his head. "Blaze is a friend of Aaron's, he is also a werewolf, and a good friend of mine!" He explains, and I nod my head.
Blaze.... Huh.
Suddenly I heard screams coming from the other side of the mall. We both look over to see Katelyn, and Aphmau, but Aphmau looked really happy. No joke her eyes were gleaming like stars.
Confused, we walk over to them, and Katelyn raises in eyebrow. "Care to explain?" Katelyn says grinning down to about my hand level. "What do you mean?" Garroth questions pinning an ear down. She points her hand to our hands. We both look down.
Hands intertwined.
We quickly let go blushing hard. "So?" Aphmau giggles. "What's going on?~" "N-Nothing!" Garroth stutters. Great Garroth. I love you and all, but why?!
Without a blink of an eye I pull Garroth away with a fake grin, and wave. "Heh! Sorry gotta finish shopping! See you guys soon!"
When we are far enough away, I let go of Garroth's hand, and we start walking to the next store. Next present for Blaze....
Good friend huh? I'll be the judge of that.
