Julianna couldn't pinpoint when exactly she had decided to keep tagging along with Owen. There was something about him- his confidence or his smirking smile or infectious personality- that had her trailing after him with little to no complaint. It was easy enough for him to redirect her with a hand on her arm.
Maeve was the same way with her.
Was she a pushover? Or did she just have a thing for tall and bossy blondes.
Her heels clicked sharply on the pavement and she had to jog a little to keep up with his long strides. Her tail and her ears bounced a little in time with her steps. At some point his grip on her had moved from her upper arm to holding her hand. Their fingers laced together as he led her to the front of a line of people waiting to get into one of the nicer clubs. Her ears perked to attention, she eyed the bouncer the same way he'd looked her over with a slight frown before Owen tugged her into the din of the venue.
She remained mostly at arms length until he pulled her closer and directed her to the dance floor with an arm around her waist. Julianna found that she didn't mind that contact either. One dance wouldn't hurt anything, she thought. She could put aside her rivalry with him for now. He could go back to teasing her on Monday. But right now she would be a lying to say that she didn't like the way he held her as they danced. Or that she didn't like the way she caught other women's eyes flash with jealousy when they noticed how attractive her escort was.
One dance turned into many, and so did the drinks. It wasn't like she was keeping track. They kept buying them and she kept feeling good drinking and dancing so Julianna didn't find reason to stop.
At some point she excused herself to the restroom. Somehow under the bright fluorescents and the dull buzz she felt more disoriented than she had on the dancefloor with strobe lights and pounding music. She finger-combed her hair and fixed her makeup in the mirror. Julianna figured it was time to find Owen and make their way back to campus.
She had hardly made it back to the bar when someone stepped up behind her. She knew right away that it wasn't Owen. Didn't smell right, wasn't tall enough. Her ears twitched before falling off either side of her head. The movement of the appendages, just avoided the stranger trying to touch them.
"You look lost, beautiful," he said over the noise, and she whipped around to face him. Her tail fluffed up to twice it's usual size. Her ears rotated to pin backwards as she frowned at the man.
"I'm not lost," she replied, moving to turn away from him, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Not so fast, sweetheart." He tried to pull her against him, but she resisted, a barely contained hiss settling into a hitch in her throat.
"Leave me the fuck alone," she complained, attempting to wrestle her arm away from him.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
