The Vancouver crowd was hosting a party, and of course Henry had invited Gansey. He dragged Blue, Adam, and Ronan along with him. The invitation didn’t come without groans from both Adam and Ronan, Blue not seeming to care too much. None of them knew much about this party, besides for the fact that it was a neon party, whatever that means. Blue decided to go all out, wearing a bright outfit she had made just for the occasion, and she had managed to convince Gansey to wear a bright blue sweater. Adam on the other hand, didn’t have anything neon, it's not like there was a dress code or anything they had to follow. Ronan was in his usual attire; all black, muscle tee, ripped jeans, and boots.
“Gansey boy!” Henry says as soon as he sees them enter Litchfield House “Come on over, man!”
Gansey walks over with Blue, Adam, and Ronan in tow. “How’s it going?” Gansey asks.
“Good, man, good,” he takes a sip of his beer, "There's some neon face paint over here, you guys got to put some on.” Walking over to a table with multiple different colors of tubes of face paint, from orange from blue to pink.
Blue grabs a tube of pink before squirting some out and making hearts on her own face.
“Come on! You guys need some too,” Blue finishes her face paint before going to reach for another tube. “Orange, Gansey?”
Gansey reluctantly replies, “Sure, is it going to stain?”
“Pshaw,” she says as she paints orange stripes onto his face.
“He’s gonna look just like the Pig,” Ronan says, and Adam catches himself laughing. Soon it’s Adam own turn where he picks the green face paint. Blue smears two thick stripes onto his upper cheeks while smiling at him. With her being right there, Adam has to resist the urge to stare at her lips, and instead looks at her eyes. “All done” she says and smiles, turning to Ronan, “What color, Ronan?”
“I’m not doing that,” he scoffs.
“Yes you are!”
“C’mon, Lynch,” Gansey says sternly. Ronan looks around the room where his eyes land on a neon blue headband, which he grabs and pulls on. “There, neon enough” He says huffy.
Everyone slowly starts to separate, Ronan had gone to get a drink, Gansey went to talk to some of the Aglionby boys, while Adam and Blue had found themselves sitting together on a sofa.
“What do you think of the party,” Blue asks, scooting closer to Adam.
“It’s fine, Henry’s a bit… y’know?” And he shrugs. She nods before looking up at him and says “Your eyes are really pretty, Adam,” a blush rising on his cheeks.
“Yours are too, I think the pink makes them pop.” Blue hastily leans in and kisses Adam on the lips. But not long after Ronan flops into the seat next to them with a beer.
“What’s up, fuckers?” He says, breaking them apart. Adam pulls back and glares at him over Blue’s shoulder and he replies with a smirk.
“Oh, nothing,” Blue says sarcastically.
Suddenly the song changes to Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac and Blue pops up.
“Oh, I love this song,” she extends her hand out to Adam “Dance with me!” Taking her hand in his, he stands up and follows her to the middle of the living room. Blue dances in front of him as he nods along to the beat. Adam looks back over to the couch where he, Blue, and Ronan were just previously sitting to see him gone. Blue takes Adam’s hands in hers and guides them to hold onto her hips. She starts to sway them together to the beat as Adam’s eyes pass over her head to look around for Ronan. He smiles down at her and gives her a slight squeeze before resuming looking. His eyes land on Ronan across the room with no other than Joseph Kavinsky. He’s leaning against the wall, new drink in hand, talking to Kavinsky. Adam feels hot rage course through his body, why is he with that asshole? Before long he shakes his head and snaps out of it. Looking back down at Blue, she’s dancing blissfully to whatever song is now playing. Adam smiles at her expression before bringing her in closer to him.
“You look really pretty tonight.”
“Really? Thanks, Adam, you don’t look too bad yourself,” she replies with a grin.
Adam looks back where Ronan and Kavinsky both start to lean in. In reply he leans in to kiss Blue, her hands coming up to rest on his shoulders. He kisses her for a moment before popping his eyes open to look back at Ronan. He’s deep into a kiss with Kavinsky, hands holding onto each other in all different places. Adam sighs before closing his eyes and kissing Blue with more passion.
It’s not long before he’s looking back at them. Blue’s hand is in his hair as they’re kissing, and he’s watching Ronan kiss another guy. Kavinsky has basically spun them around, moving along to the music as they kiss. When they turn back to the original position, where Adam can see Ronan’s face again, Ronan glares across the party to look at him.
