“It should be able to slide under the door.”
Clawdeen grabs hold of the box suddenly handed to her, startled, but sure enough in her hands to not drop it.
A sliver of doubt. Draculaura quickly reaches for the taller ghoul’s manicured paws, pulling gently at her wrists and maneuvering them to give the box one last quick once over. Just to be sure.
Satisfied, she steps back, ridding her friend of her grasp.
“So you’ll give it to him?”
She looks vulnerable, looking up Clawdeen with her perfect brows pinched and one of her fangs digging into the corner of her lip.
The wolf ignored the heat under her fur, where slim pink fingers once were. She had to, Draculaura needed her best friend now.
“Of courseeee— should I even ask what’s inside?” She says, deciding a casual tone would best. Clawdeen hates seeing the pretty ghoul worry.
Draculaura hesitates.
Clawdeen’s chest begins to tighten. She has an idea of what’s beneath the delicate pink wrapping, but she needs to hear it. Needs the reality check.
She can smell Draculaura’s perfume seeping from the contents in the package; Soft and sweet, with a subtle kick of spice.
“Ah, just a little something to help Clawd get through the next week or so,” her heeled boot worries the ground.
“You know, for his,” she fixes her voice to a whisper, “rut.” She doesn’t meet her eyes, or rather, she can’t. The shorter monster is blushing, the way she always does when she’s embarrassed.
Clawdeen’s heart clenches, but she puts on her best face for her bestest ghoulfriend.
“I’ll get it to him by tonight, Draculaura.”
A calm in the storm of Draculaura’s mind.
She perks up, “Thank you Clawdeen, you really are a fang- tastic ghoulfriend.”
She’s engulfed in a hug, the vampire’s petite frame pressed against her.
Clawdeen is careful to move aside the lightweight package in her hands, letting her best friend bless and curse her with her undying affection.
She has the urge to kiss the top of her head. Right in between those perfect pigtails of hers.
Then Draculaura pulls away, all too quick for a hug that made time feel frozen.
She thinks she hears a squeal and some rummaging in the background. Clawdeen isn’t sure, tuning out her surroundings is always the result when Draculaura leaves her dumbfounded or starstruck.
Moments like these are common with her. Too common. She can’t keep feeling this way about her ghoulfriend. It’s not fair to her, or Clawd.
The vampire interrupts her typing on her iCoffin to look up at Clawdeen.
And that’s it. Clawdeen is done for. She should just dig herself an early grave.
Draculaura’s eyes glitter with glee, all smiles and fangs, truly grateful one of her favorite monsters can deliver her gift to her beloved in his trying times.
That smile does wonders. It almost wipes away Clawdeen’s despair. Almost.
Draculaura rushes off to class with a wave, phone still in hand with an unfinished message.
She waves back, then turns. Her eyes travel over the box’s exterior for a moment, nose deciding to scrunch up on its own.
The smell more than pleasant, but soiled because it wasn’t her it was meant for.
She won’t open the box, she’d tormented herself enough today by asking of it’s contents and getting her suspicions confirmed by the look on Draculaura’s face.
What’s inside is intimate. It’s none of her business what goes on between her brother and her best friend.
Though it hurts, she’s not angry with Draculaura for asking her of this favor. Nor does she blame her of today’s heartache.
She trusts her, with something so private, Clawdeen is immensely grateful for that much. So she’ll just have to make do with it.
She can never have Draculaura the way she’s always wanted her.
