DUMB AND PRETTY
"You're fuckin' stupid, Enel. Why did you stretch your ears like that?"
The God stared at his longest childhood friend, Armina, and fingered the weights that hung off his earlobes near his waist. "No I'm not. It's a sign of enlightenment," he corrected her proudly. The confidence in his grin did not convince her. "That expression makes you look dumb, like you think I'm dumb." He pointed at her face and turned his head over his shoulder, still keeping his bright blue eyes trained on her.
Enel suddenly turned then and shoved both of his fingers in the corners of her mouth. Despite her startled look, he pulled the corners of her mouth up and grinned. "You look much prettier like this."
