Post Party (River)

[Carleigh Davidson]

Backdated to April 27, after the Spin the Bottle thread


Stumbling down the hallway, Carleigh let out a quiet giggle as she bumped into the walls. If anyone asked, she wasn't drunk... merely a little bit tipsy. She only had a few drinks during the massive game of Spin the Bottle in Liv... and apparently Penelope's... dorm room. It had been a successful evening according to the blonde, since her best friend had kissed a guy, and looked hot doing it. Carleigh would have to talk to Liv later.

Right now, she was trying to stay on her feet as she finally made it to her dorm room. Carleigh was trying to keep herself and River quiet, as rooming on the girl's floor of the dormitory meant she would be in huge trouble if he was caught. Hearing some giggles, she spun around and pressed her finger to River's lips, grinning. "Shush. We're almost there." She declared, looking up through her slightly bleary eyes to see 401 written over the door. Carleigh fumbled for the key she had put into the pocket of her vest, and unlocked the dorm.

The blonde never saw her other roommate, and assumed that Eloise was still at the party that was slowly dying out. She pushed open the door, stumbling into her dorm and shut the door immediately after her cute Asian friend entered. Friend? More than friend? Carleigh giggled, reaching out to touch his face with a light touch. "We made it!" She exclaimed, with a beaming smile on her face. Even while intoxicated, she loved spending time with River. Especially when he was all cute and giggly.

 

[River Tseung]

Wheeeeee~

River wasn't entirely sure why the hallway was all tipsy and flopsy like it was, or why he couldn't seem to stop giggling as he stumbled on the way back to... Where were they going? He wasn't entirely sure. All he knew was Carleigh was leading him somewhere and that was totally okay because she was his friend and... And they'd kissed!

Mmmm...

He blinked and let out another giggle as the blonde's finger landed against his lips. "I'm shushing!" he insisted, even though he was clearly not. River had no idea that his drink had been spiked by the very person he was with now with alcohol, and likely would never realize it unless she told him. He never would have drank on his own.

The rosy-cheeked boy followed in after Carleigh as she opened the door, sporting what he had no idea was the stereotypical Asian glow from his body's response to the alcohol in his system. "We did!" he agreed with equal giddiness, then blinked again and looked around. "... Where are we?" It didn't look like his dorm. "H... Hey.... W-we.... We kissed!" he announced, grin returning to his dopey face. "I'm glad it... Was you."

If Carleigh remembered spiking River's drink in the morning, she would probably feel a bit guilty about doing it. How was she suppose to know the tiny amount would have affected him in such a matter? She wasn't much better herself, stumbling over her feet and bumping into the walls. For now, the tipsy blonde would just enjoy the rest of the evening with River. "Well, you're shushing is too loud." She playfully said back, sticking out her tongue.

Looking up at his face, Carleigh beamed at his excitement of making it to her dorm. Really, it was a feat considering the stat they were in. She continued to stare at his face, her eyes lingering before blinking. "Oh... yeah, right." The blonde giggled. "I... this is my dorm. I forgot.. where your dorm was. I.. 'ssumed it'd be okay to come back here." She rambled. Hopefully that was okay. Otherwise, the pair would be off on another stumbling adventure.

"Yeah... we did." Somehow, fate had been on Carleigh's side as the bottle had chosen her to be the one to kiss River. Her hand still on his cheek, she leaned in and pecked him on the lips, giggling. "Look, we just kissed... again." Smiling, Carleigh nodded in agreement. "Me too... I... was hoping that it was going to be me."

Pulling her hand back, Carleigh used it to gently tug on River's arm towards the couch. Sitting down was probably a good idea.

[River Tseung]

River would also easily forgive Carleigh if he found out about the whole spiking business. Neither of them got hurt, right? Nah, they were having fun! His head was buzzing pleasantly and everything seemed more colorful and wheeee~ "I can't heeelp it, I can't stop giggling!" he said as he... Giggled. Everything just seemed funny!

The staring at each other might have totally been weird had they not both 1) been slightly tipsy and 2) obviously were connecting on some level deeper than just friendship. And River had no idea it was even happening. Okay... Maybe he had some idea, but he was too happy to think about it too much yet. "Oh!" he squeaked. "It's... Nice!" It looked pretty much the same as his own, but he felt like he had to say something. "I like it here. Let's stay." Definitely not in any shape to go anywhere else for the evening.

Mmmm...!

River's eyes fluttered shut as their lips met again - no matter how short it was, it still sent a trail of butterflies flying through his stomach. "I like kissing," he determined, staring at Carleigh's bubblegum-pink lips. They looked like candy... And tasted just as sweet. "I like... You. A lot." A flash of confusion passed over his features, but was soon replaced with another smile.

He was easily led towards the couch, plopping down on the plushy surface and pulling his blonde... Friend?... Down with him, giggling all the while. "I'm really glad I met you, Carleigh," he murmured, hands resting on her back. "You make me really happy." He reached a finger up and poked her nose, before tracing his finger through her long, silky hair.

The one conclusion Carleigh reached in her intoxicated state was that River's giggle were infectious and the cutest sound in the entire world. It made her already beaming smile widen, each time the Asian boy let out another set of them. "I s'pose it's alright." She said, giggling herself.

It took a couple moments for Carleigh to catch onto the staring that was happening between her and River. The longing look in her eyes became apparent, not that he would notice in his current state. Her face was inches from River's, Carleigh's focus flickering between his eyes and his lips. A... sort of funny feeling came up in her chest, causing the blonde to shift in response. She... had no idea what was going on between her and her friend but...

No, she wasn't going to think about what they were right now.

There had to be something, as Carleigh's lips pulled back from his with a shy smile. God, she felt like she could spend hours kissing River. The simple contact of their lips meeting felt like everything. Words couldn't describe the feeling in her chest anymore. Grinning, she nodded in agreement with his first statement before the shock of the next one set in. Her smile faltered for a split second, but realized that that was what she was thinking. While tipsy, the emotions felt amplified, almost unreal. Nodding, Carleigh's smile rebounded. "I... I like you too, River. A lot. Like... like a lot."

The two somehow managed to stumble over to the couch, the blonde being pulled down by River. She giggled, landing on the soft surface next to him. A hazy, half remembered memory of herself and the cute Asian building a snowman together appeared in Carleigh's mind, making her smile. Somehow, he got her to enjoy the snow. At least for the day. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders loosely. "Me... me too. I'm really glad we.. became friends." And now... this, whatever this was. "You are my sunshineeeee my only sunshineeee." Carleigh began to sing, softly and terribly off key. It was... bad, but it was how she felt. "I feel like I'm... I'm on top of the world with you." She admitted, snuggling closer to River with a content sigh.

[River Tseung]

Hee... Carleigh's face was close. And cute. And pretty. Yeah. River couldn't stop thinking how much her lips looked like bubblegum, or cotton candy, and how he could probably nom on them all day if given the chance... Mmmmm....

Had he not been tipsy, he likely never would have thought such things, but he was, and he was also high on having not only his first, but second, kiss. Nothing was normal at the moment. And the fact that Carleigh said she liked him back made River's heart soar like a giant hot-air balloon. "I'm... I'm glad!" he squeaked happily. "We should... Do something... About liking each other...!" Yeah, it was called dating. But that word wouldn't come to River's fuzzy tongue.

His arms wrapped tightly around the blonde as they cuddled, enjoying every moment of this night they were spending together. "Friendsss...~!" he cooed, eyelids fluttering. River was going to pass out at any moment. He hummed along with her singing, too drowsy and content to wonder if there were any animals nearby that might respond to his voice. "Mmmm... Me too," he sighed happily, nuzzling Carleigh closer and tucking her under his chin. This night was totally perfect. "I'm... I'm gonna sleep now. You wanna sleep too?" Before she could respond, River passed out like a light, and dreamed about all the things they could do together when they woke up.

[Carleigh Davidson]

As Carleigh's face came closer to River's, her eyes darted around the close quarters of his face with a ditzy and content smile. It felt nice sharing her feelings, admitting how she felt about the cute Asian boy with a beautiful smile. Even though the two were drunk, Carleigh just... knew the thoughts they were thinking had to be sober. The moment was perfect. She let out a content sigh, her lips curling into a lazy smile.

Do something about it? "Say... why don't we date or something?" She questioned, letting out a set of girly giggles. Reaching up, the blonde bopped River's nose with her finger, more giggles erupting out of the intoxicated girl's chest. "I... I will be your girlfriend, and you, you can be my boyfriend." The words made the butterflies in Carleigh's stomach go off, giddy and excited at the potential thought of being 'official' with River. Nothing would make her more happy.

They could figure it out another time. She snuggled close, happily sighing as the heat from River's body kept her feeling warm and giddy. It was a perfect close to the wonderful night. Her hold on him tightened, not able to get close enough, so it felt. Carleigh listened as River hummed along with her, the appealing sound garnering attention from her pet bunny. The blonde didn't notice.

Alone, it was hard for Carleigh to fall asleep. 3 AM was a time where she would frequent the halls outside, roaming around for a new friend. Tonight, Carleigh had the only person she needed in her arms. Before she could reply, River was out, a fact that made the blonde giggle once more. It took a bit, but she too fell asleep, her heart falling into a rhythmic pattern with River's.

[River Tseung]

River's eyes widened at the question. "D... Date?" he replied, as though the word was foreign to him. Did he want to date Carleigh? "Yes! Yeah, let's do that!" he agreed with a giddy giggle. Oh, oh man, this was the best night ever! Dating Carleigh! The thought hadn't really crossed the boy's mind until he'd gotten tipsy and kissed her. It just made sense, right? He'd always wanted to save his first kiss for his girlfriend, after all. "Heeeee," he squeed out, wrinkling his nose as she booped it. "I've never had a girlfriend beforeeee." River hoped he'd do it right. What if he totally messed up and did awful and she regretted dating him!? He was gonna do his best to make sure that didn't happen! Because... Because Carleigh was totally the girl for him!

He'd likely sleep until late the next morning. River definitely wasn't a night owl, and this was waaaay past is normal bedtime. Not to mention he was probably going to wake up with a headache too. But that was alright, this late night was totally worth it to him. He fell asleep smiling.
