The Witching Hour

Mundane

Danny watched as the girl with bright red hair laughed at something that the boy wearing a football jersey said. The college campus was overflowing with students trying to get to and from class but he never lost sight of the girl playfully trying to get out of the boys grip. He rolled his eyes as he watched her peck the boys lips only for him to plead "one more".

"Disgusting." Danny grumbled as the Mexican to his left sighed.

"Danny can't you just..you know, do your thing and get her to come with us?" Charlie suggested, earning him a glare from the golden eyed boy.

"Don't you think if it was that easy I would have already thought about it. Idiot." Danny grumbled as he watches the girl connect with a group of girls on her way to class.

Dylan grunted under his breath before throwing a protective arm around the smaller male, he could see the tears forming in Charlie's eyes already. "Don't listen to him, my snowflake. You are perfect."

Charlie smiled weakly at his boyfriend but Dylan could tell Danny had hurt his feelings. Charlie felt everything so very deeply all the time, Dylan was used to mending his hurt feelings.

"No, pretty sure my brother was right, Charlie's definitely an idiot." Circe shrugged as she moved from her perch next to Johnny. "I am getting bored though, how much longer do we have to follow this girl around."

Danny glanced in her direction before focusing his attention on the bubbly red head. "Tal said not to approach her until we can get her alone. She's...unpredictable, at least that's the word Tal used this morning." He nodded.

Johnny made a noise under his breath before shifting irritably in his seat. "I'm gonna be that guy and agree with Charlie." Johnny watched as the smaller man perked up slightly before shaking his head "Don't get too excited princess you're still an idiot."

Dylan sighed as Charlie shrank back down before attaching himself to Dylan's side.

"You idiots are all going to follow the rules because if I get pained because you assholes can't listen, I'll make you all hate yourselves." Danny shrugged, the edge in his tone only accenting his warning.

Serena giggled as Mason continued on with his bio lab story. She swung their hands absentmindedly as the boy continued his verbal assault on his professor.

"Am I wrong?" He asked after a long pause.

"No, no baby you have every right to be mad. Your research idea was so good, he's just miserable." She nodded as the boy stopped and wrapped his arm around her frame.

"I love you so much." He grinned as he playfully kissed her neck.

"Mase." She giggled as she squirmed in his grip. "Not in public." She blushed.

"Come home with me tonight." He groaned. "My mom misses you, you know."

"Baby.."

"Rena..please." He continued, accenting his sentence by squeezing her hip.

"I can't...I promised Jojo I'd come home tonight." She sighed before biting savagely at her lip.

He sighed before pulling away from the girl, his sudden departure caused a chill to run up her spine and she instinctively wrapped her arms around herself.

She reached out, effectively pulling the boy back to her. "Tomorrow?"

He huffed slightly before tightening his grip around her once again. "You promise?"

"I promise." She nodded, a smile etched onto her face as she managed onto her tippy toes to peck his lips with her own.

"You're going to make it up to me right?" He asked with a raise of his brow.
