Now, being picked up wasn’t the thing Vee expected, and her reaction was horrifically embarrassing.
He scooped her up off the floor, and, stunned (and a little scared he’d drop her), she emitted a tiny, squeak-like sound and tightened her grip around his shoulders, screwing her eyes shut, her face reddening. Her eyes only fluttered open when she was set onto the bed, which creaked in response at her minimal weight. She puffed out her cheeks in an attempt to look angry and threatening, but she just looked like an irritated chipmunk.
“Y-you can’t just- do that!”’she protested hotly, looking flustered. “You guys really enjoy scaring the shit out of me, dont you?” She huffed grumpily, although there was a joking edge to her tone. That faded slightly, her eyes going somewhat dull for a moment, but she fixed herself quickly, unwilling to let Sen see her so distressed, because he’d probably just tease her about it. She looked back to him as he settled himself on the floor.
“Oh, yeah? What’re you gonna do if I don’t stay?” She challenged, a tiny grin tugging at her lips.
