“Not happening.”
There’s a shriek then, “I gotta go, Cupcake just peed on the bed.”
“Gross. Enjoy domesticated life.”

I’m Aware Of How Beds Work
Kai to Nate: I’m fucked. [delivered]
Tess
Happywalksintothekitchen, Dopey and Grumpy following behind. He’s got a shit eating grin on his face.
“We’re off the clock. Wanna get drunk?” He holds up a bottle of tequila.
“You’re allowed to drink?”
Happy rolls his eyes. “Duh. There’s three other members of the team keeping watch. And it’s not like anyone will find us here.”
Fair enough.
I shrug. “Sure. Let’s do it.”
Happy pours out four shot glasses and I grab a fifth one. He raises an eyebrow at me but doesn’t say anything as he adds tequila to the last glass.
Kai choses that moment to walk in. His face screws up at the sight of the three guards in the kitchen.
“What's happening here?” His voice is pinched—he hates them being around for some reason.
“Drink.” I shove one of the shot glasses at him then knock mine back. It burns on the way down, but I try not to show it on my face.
Kai raises an eyebrow at me before shrugging his shoulders and downing his glass.
“Let’s play a game,” Happy says, already pouring everyone a new drink.
I groan. “What kind of game?”
“Strip poker?” he teases, waggling his eyebrows.
“Right, because I’m going to play a game that requires me to get naked in a house full of men,” I deadpan.
“Fine. Truth or dare.”
“Are we ten?” Kai grumbles.
I bite back a laugh. “Fine. Let’s play.”
We move to the living room, and I notice that Grumpy looks much more relaxed this evening, he doesn’t have his signature scowl on his face. Dopey looks… well dopey.
