Chapter 79 - Slumber Party, Witchcraft and Friends - Part 2

"I'm sure he'd love to meet you. Plus, you'll finally have someone who'll like hearing how important the pack is to the wolf," Evan added, rolling his eyes for effect at the end of the sentence.

Michael immediately pierced him with a look in response.

"You wouldn't survive a day without a pack," he argued.

"I could easily last forever," Evan countered. Michael's look turned to disbelief at that, waiting for Evan to figure out something obvious to him.

"What?" He asked when he didn't get an answer even after a few seconds.

"Seriously? You're always talking about your friends, always hanging out with us. You like being surrounded by people and you care about them. You literally follow everything that falls under pack principles, and you don't even realize it." The black-haired boy shook his head as if he couldn't believe his friend's stupidity.

"That's not the same thing," Evan protested immediately, frowning.

"Kind of is," Ryan echoed this time, his voice cautious as if he didn't want his mate to get angry.

"You, me, Kieran, Josh, Aiden, Lola, Millie, Clara, and Rory. For being the only wolves in this equation, it's pretty reminiscent of a pack. Plus, now we have two more wolves to add," Angie declared, watching the two wolves in question with amused eyes.

"I don't know half of them," Michael interjected in an annoyed tone.

"Me neither, but we can fix that sometime." His cousin didn't make a big deal of it and shrugged.

"Starting with Rory," Evan added.

"Starting with Rory," Ryan agreed, directing his words to his cousin.

...

Since it was their first official sleepover (New Year's doesn't count, since no one was ready for it, except for the bucket) they decided to spend the night in the living room. Ryan and Michael took their mattresses off the beds and put them on the floor in front of the couch. The plan was that the boys would sleep on the floor while Angie would have the whole couch to herself. She didn't protest when they told her that. Michael, on the other hand, protested for a moment when he realized that he would be sleeping next to the two mates and only calmed down when they promised him that he didn't have to worry about any jump scares. Evan thought it was funny and since it made him laugh, according to Michael, he lost his privileges in picking out the movie.

In the end, the film was chosen by Michael himself, and Evan commented loudly from the start.

His remarks went something like this: "Really? 1954? You couldn't have picked an even older movie?" To which Michael replied that it's not the year the movie was made, but the year in which the scene takes place.

His next comment pissed him off even more, though. "Is that a pot on his tie?" To which Michael just rolled his eyes, not even bothering to explain that it was a simple plant print.

His comment assessing that the lead actor was hot was this time replied by the second of the cousins. Well, replied was a strong word as he just murmured in agreement and didn't take his eyes off the screen.

"You should have seen him when he was young. Even when it looked like he had frostbite and was drowning he looked divine," Angie added, nodding. Michael looked like he'd rather be anywhere else at that moment, and it honestly looked like he was beginning to question his own choice of film.

"Oh, he's got a cute wife too," Evan remarked as a blonde appeared on screen handing the main character a tie.

"So you like both girls and guys?" Michael asked, turning his head to Evan. The latter returned his gaze and replied with a shrug: "Yeah, I'm bi."
