Michi was completely unaware of anything going on around them, she was just focused on Hunter and the fabric of her dress. "I aint never drinkin' again," she mumbled.

She couldn't bother with the water though when Hunter said the "l word." A silly little grin spread across her pained face and she nuzzled into Hunter's neck. "I love you too," she said sweetly. "Always have you silly bitch."

She finally took the water and forced another mouthful down. "Le's go home honey bear," she slurred.

Hunter wasn't sure how she felt about this never-drinking-again business, but that would be a discussion best left for another more sober time. For right now, she was totally all right with Michi giving up drinking for the time being. She didn't think the girl's stomach could handle any more at this point.

She saw the silly grin on her girlfriend's face, and pouted sternly at her, though she did tip her head a bit as her neck was nuzzled. "Honey bear? Yeah, whatever ya say, sugartits."

Watching Michi forcing down more water, Hunter took the bottle when she was done and took another big gulp of her own, half finishing it and then putting the cap on. Classy as ever, she shoved the half empty bottle into the front of her dress before readjusting herself to help Michi begin moving again. She kept half expecting Mack to jump out of the bushes or something and rip on her hardcore for all of the sappy stuff.. but it just sorta came out.

It was against her nature to deny things, and this girl was the last person she ever wanted to deny. "Always, huh?" she asked, once they had hobbled a bit further from the dwindling crowd. "And you couldn't of said nothin' bout to to me? Thanks, bitch. You know how fast I woulda been up on you? Faster'n you know, I bet."

"Yeah, honey bear," she slurred. "Cause yer like a bear but yer sweet too. Honey bear," she tried to explain as they trekked onward. She leaned her head against Hunter's shoulder and sighed deeply.

"Yeah, always," she admitted. "I was bein' stupid... as always," she said looking at the ground, trying to get her eyes to focus on that instead of the million stars above them. "You weren't just my first girl, you were the first person I ever felt this way about. An' tha's hard to talk about when you're young and silly cause no one wants to be sappy like that but sometimes I can't help bein' sappy cause you make me all butterflies and rainbows... but not rainbow puke, never rainbow puke," she tried to explain.

"Makes me think of a.. a honey badger," Hunter mumbled absently, smiling a little at the thought of her best friend's patronus. "Strong li'l fuckers but ain't nothin' to the majestic coyote! You know it!" she added, puffing her chest out a bit.

She calmed and quieted enough to listen to Michi, smiling lazily and a little crooked, her head ducked down a bit. "I know what ya mean.. it's real hard to explain, specially since I'm a tough guy," she replied, nudging her girlfriend gently as she stopped then to rest again for a moment. Pulling the water bottle out of her dress, she drank again and then offered it to Michi.

"I'd be sappy for you though, like real sappy, it just-- I dunno, feels right. Like we never shoulda broke up. I was so sick of jus' like.. doin' whatever, whoever, y'know babe?"

"Honey badger don't give a fuck," she giggled. "You're right though coyotes are far more majestic. And not nearly as cute as a cape fox," she said of her own patronus. "It's got dem big ears," she giggled.

Michi accepted the water bottle gratefully and took another big sip before handing it back. She would have held it on her own but she was almost sure she would have dropped it on the way. "Yeah," she said quietly.

"I know what you mean. Never felt quite as right with other people. You're... no one can replace you," she giggled. "Even if they tried. You got some big old cowboy boots to fill."

"I bet a coyote could eat a honey badger and a cape fox, so I'm obviously the head bitch in charge," she slurred back, smirking a little smugly. It was really a shame that a patronus was a mostly a defensive spell, the blonde loved the idea of it. She had tried animagus studies for just that reason in junior year, but to no avail. She and Mack always talked about illegally learning, but had never gotten drunk enough to actually try.

Waiting till Michi was done with the water, Hunter put it away again and began to hobble forward carefully. A couple of times, she almost stumbled a bit herself, but pulled off excellent recoveries. This wasn't their first time wandering home nicely loaded.

"My feet are pretty huge," she agreed, instinctively wiggling her toes inside of her boots. "All the better for flying Bruce Lee crosskicks though, c'mon! Remember that time I got Mack in the back of the head? Jeez crow, she was some mad.."

Realizing she had sort of gotten off topic, Hunter shook her head and squeezed Michi in her grip again. "You ain't replaceable neither so don't be.. like real sick or nothin'.. ya gotta be okay," she informed her, patting her back again.

"A coyote could eat a honey badger and a cape fox but she never would," Michi smirked. "Coyot's are just big softies at their core, you know that," she snuggled closer into Hunter's side.

"I do remember," Michi laughed. "You fuckin' sniped her! I thought she was gonna beat your ways four ways from Sunday!"

"Maybe I caught the flu. Fuckin' Pas is always snifflin' like a little bitch," she sneered. Not meaning to sound so mean, her cheeks began to flush. "I aint leavin' you like that so don't worry. It'll take more than some fuckin' rainbow puke to take me down. Stubborn as an ox."

"Well," Hunter began slowly, snuggling back up to her and kissing the top of her head. "Coyote mighta ate that cape fox later, but not in a bad way!" she suggested, eyebrows waggling. "And only if there was less.. y'know, vommin' and stuff," she joked, laughing heartily her own double entendre. She sure was witty when she drank.

"She woulda had to catch me firs' and it took her long enough to haul her sorry ass up off that field," the blonde grinned manically, enjoying the memory. She and Mack had been doing damage to each other for years, and it was almost like a game or competition to them. Albeit a rather dangerous and painful one. They were sort of like the long lost sisters of Jackass most days.

She smiled as they were getting closer to campus now, making their way steadily past the Quidditch pitch and Quodpot field on their way. She rubbed Michi's back again, mostly something to do with her hand, as she nudged the younger girl with the side of her head. "If I catch this shit, y'all better hold my hair," she murmured, pouting playfully. "An' I want that elastic back too, ya greedy bitch," she joked.

Michi giggled. "That would certainly be welcome when we're like... not a hot mess," she grinned, trying her best to wink.

She snorted and shook her head. "Yeah, that's true. And by the time she did catch up you woulda found a damn hiding space like the ninja you are," she teased. "It woulda taken another three years to find ya."

"I will, I will. And hey, if you do get sick we can have a snuggle in bed, movie watching day," she smiled. "That was always my favorite way to play hookie," she admitted. "This hair band?" she said trying to point to the one in her hair. "Nah, you're gonna have to wrestle me for it," she teased, a silly smile pulling at her lips.

"Plus she's real shit at playin' hide an' go seek.. if she never had Kia with her, she never woulda found me even one damn time in her whole life! That bitch ain't go no game!" Hunter added, laughing lightly at the thought. It had been a long time since she had hid somewhere and really did Mack in. That would be her plan for the next party, she decided, laughing harder and storing it away mentally with her other schemes.

Hunter's eyes lit up at the prospect of a day of playing hookie, and she quickly nodded her head up and down with furious agreement. "For sure! Even if I don't catch it or nothin'.. shit, I'll still stay home with ya," she informed her proudly. Hunter was never opposed to missing a class, even if auror training was providing her with subjects that better held her interest than her core classes from high school. School work was still school work.

"Can we watch Remember the Titans? Oh shit, how about Friday Night Lights?" she suggested. If it was a football movie, Hunter pretty much owned it.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"She told me that earlier, but more or less that you were a damn menace to society when you played hide and seek," Michi giggled.

"Yay," she cheered weakly. "We can have chicken noodle soup and fuck it, we can watch both," she grinned contentedly. "Watching inspirational football movies sure as fuck cheers me up," she grinned.

"We can have tea too. I fucking love tea. Mom sent some white jasmine. Bitch must want somethin' cause she knows I fuckin' love white jasmine," she mumbled.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"She's a damn menace to society period," Hunter giggled back. When Michi agreed to both movies and chicken noodle, which was her absolute favorite other than beef stew, the blonde practically burst with drunken joy. "Hell to the fuckin' yeah!" she chimed in, quickly showering the side of the younger girl's face with quick kisses.

"Best girlfriend ever," she reminded her happily. "But I dunno about that tea business.. don't you got no sweet tea or nothin' like that? I only like sweet tea," she pouted. She tried not to generally tense up at the mention of Michi's mom. She had never liked the woman, and as far as she knew, the feeling was mutual.

Michi couldn't help but giggle at the slew of kisses. "We aint never gonna leave bed," she declared loudly, wobbling a little as she did so.

"I'll make sweet tea special for you. It'll be Hunter tea and no one else can have it. Motherfuckers will have to fight me fer it," she grumbled. "I'll kicked their asses."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sounds like a plan!" she agreed enthusiastically, instinctively tightening her grip a little on the younger girl as she wobbled. Hunter wobbled a bit with her, shaking with giggles, but at least if she fell over she'd be okay. She really didn't want Michi to lose her footing right now.

"Special jus' for me?" she asked, raising her eyebrows and giving a low whistle and a grin. "Yer some sweet."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Michi let herself lean into Hunter more heavily and rested her head against the older girl's shoulder.

"All for Hunter," she giggled. "I try," she nodded when the other girl told her she was sweet. She brought one of her hands up, threading her fingers into Hunter's hair. "It's my natural disposition I suppose," she grinned.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"I suppose so," Hunter grinned back, turning her head a bit to kiss the fingers moving through her hair. "I like my tea sweet an' my girls sweeter," she giggled.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Then you just hit the jackpot because I downed twenty four packets of skittles. That has to make me pretty sweet," she giggled drunkenly.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah but you probably only got about twelve packs left in yer gut by now," Hunter giggled back. They were almost home now, and the blonde was pretty glad. She was also glad that Michi seemed to be able to talk to her for more than a few words now without needing to hunch over and lose more skittles.
