“We’re throwing him a birthday party,” Sam whispered. “It’s flannel-themed. And on Mondays we wear flannel.”
“Sometimes Wednesdays,” Finn said.
“Fridays too,” Lucas stated.
“Or the weekends,” Nolan joined the conversation finally. “It’s an all-the-time thing.”
Fuck, that was new. I just smiled. How much had I missed? All the banter and back and forth was shit I couldn’t even weigh in on. Sure, Declan had always been a flannel guy, but when had it become a thing?
“Guess I need to invest in some flannel,” I replied finally.
“It’ll go well with your leather pants,” Lucas teased.
“I don’t wear leather pants.”
“You should. I bet they’d make your ass look great,” Raven commented.
“Raven!” Declan exclaimed, and I shrugged. She wasn’t wrong. They were just a bitch to get in and out of.
“I have no filter!” she shot back. “Do you remember the pierced dick thing? Or the chocolate? Or the—”
He shoved half a waffle in her mouth to shut her up.
“There’s your filter,” he said, chuckling. Her cheeks turned red as she tried to swallow.
“I don’t think she’s used to something so big in her mouth,” Sam commented. She shook her head, only fueling the laughter. Yeah, I liked her. Raven gestured wildly over her shoulder as she hurried through finishing the half-a-waffle.
“Go. Have fun. Be safe,” Declan whispered and kissed her temple. Watching my brother be downright domestic was an interesting experience. “Don’t get into too much trouble, please.”
“God, it’s like you don’t even know me,” she scoffed, grabbing her coffee and hurrying away. She snapped her fingers once, and Holly scampered out after her. Shit, how long had that dog been there? She called over her shoulder, “Male strippers, burn the town down, lots of dick piercings. It’ll be a hell of a day. Love you, baby!”
“How in the hell are you going to survive her?” I asked, bewildered, when she disappeared with Genevieve in tow.
“Better question,” Declan began, “how will these idiots survive hiking today?”
“Should we hike or run?” Nolan replied.
“Might I remind you what happened the last time you took my drunk wolf ass running?” Sam interjected. Lucas folded over damn near giggling while the others followed suit to some degree. I just glanced between them, waiting to find out the story.
“He got adopted!” Lucas exclaimed. “His drunk ass got adopted by the Maxwell family for two fucking weeks!”
“We thought he went missing,” Finn said.
“What?” Sam retorted. “It was warm, I got cuddles, and they fed me!”
“Jesus fuck, Sam.” I chuckled. “You’re a wolf, not a pet.”
“Well, my drunk wolf didn’t know the fucking difference.”
“What’d they name you again?” Nolan asked.
“Kip.” Sam snorted into his drink.
“You know, they’re still looking for Kip,” he replied. “They come by the store every once in a while to use my printer. I go above and beyond helping them print fliers with your ugly face on the front.”
“But do you call in tips at any point saying you saw him?” Declan said.
“Oh, that’d just be mean,” Nolan told him. “They have two little girls! Those girls miss their dog.”
