The story features many broken pieces and scenes where I've taken dialog and random moments from my WHSS story and created a story centered around those scenes are short, but I hope you all like it!
This was written for Snowcrystal of ThunderClan's birthday last month (I'm terrible at deadlines, sorry -_- )
Dialog and moments featured in WHSS chapters are in bold
Holly's Sleep Deprivation
"Wait," Holly asked with an expression that was similar to if she had been hit with a hammer, "So you kissed Brendon, Paige's kissed Braxton, and my best friend's already kissed my brother?"
Ivory pulled a priceless expression of looking horrified, and like she had just seen the devil. The blonde's face was pale and her green eyes were round with horror, "Someone said I kissed Brendon?"
Holly blinked tiredly at her, "yeah?" Clearly, all of the late study nights were messing with her mind and muddling her thoughts.
Ivory picked up her jaw and scowled firmly, "that is it! I'm going to kick Brendan's-"
Diana gasped, looking at her twin and cutting her off, "language Ivory!"
Ivory gave an annoyed snort, "after hearing that kind of news I can have whatever kind of language I want Diana. Plus he pretty much idolizes it since you know he thinks that all the girls love him for his fat-"
"Ivory!"
"I was going to say butt!" Ivory shot back at her sister, "great StarClan you really have developed an assumption habit!"
"Okay you two, cut it out," Paige rolled her eyes and pushed the two sisters away from each other before smiling amusedly at Holly, "I think you need to sleep Holly, Ivory wouldn't kiss Brendan if the entire human race depended on it."
Holly blinked, her sluggish mind working about a sixth of her usual speed. "Ehh…" The black haired girl simply shrugged and adjusted her glasses and accidentally poked herself in the eye in the process. "Ow!" She cursed and gingerly pressed two fingers against her closed injured eye. "So why is there a kissing trend?" She asked, the pain briefly waking up her sluggish mind.
Diana's blue eyes sparkled with mischief and her twin and Paige looked warily at the short blonde. "It's a new thing!" She squealed in a typical excited Diana fashion, "you know, where you have to kiss one of the boys currently around you!" She looked at her sister, a devilish grin on her face, "it's Ivory's turn!"
Ivory's jaw dropped for the second time that afternoon, "WHAT?!" Diana then gave her an threatening look and Ivory coughed into one hand, her green eyes darting around for the particular guy she was looking for. StarClan above she was not kissing Brendan, that sent a cold shiver down her spine. Ugh, that's a terrible thought. "Err fine," she grumbled, rather annoyed about her deal with her sister that lasted until the end of the week. She noticed a black-clad figure out of the corner of her eye and pulled him by the wrist to her before grumpily kissing him, making Braxton fling his hands up into a surrender position like he was in trouble somehow or seriously didn't want to touch her and have the trained fighter to make him wipe out on the floor. With their love-hate relationship, it was probably both.
Holly giggled, finding the entire thing highly amusing in her sleepy state. Plus it was kinda funny seeing her fierce friend acting so… cute? Cute wasn't really a word to describe the fighting blonde, sweet sure, Ivory was incredibly kind and gentle behind the fierce mask but the last time Holly had seen her friend acting so cutesy-ish was when Ivory was bright red in the face and stammering like a maniac in front of Atol, Diana, Holly, and Braxton. It was a long story, involving Diana switching Holly and Ivory's clothes, painting her nails while Ivory was asleep, and managing to braid it without waking her up. Holly gave a snort of laughter, remembering Atol and Braxton's reactions. Atol had looked a little surprised while Braxton's jaw had been on the floor.
"Hello? Bookworm?"
Holly blinked to find Ivory waving a hand in her face, cheeks a tiny bit flushed and Braxton walking down the hallway with a strut in his stride. "Wha?" The sleepy bookworm responded almost dazedly, "what now?"
Diana looked incredibly mischievous, "well it's your turn!"
"My turn?" Holly said blankly before it registered and she nodded, "okay." She heard familiar footsteps behind her and couldn't help but smile slightly, why not kiss Finli? She's done it before multiple times back at the far, plus if she remembered right from that time frame he was super warm and she was already really tired.
"Hey," Finli spoke, his slightly roughened accented voice was rather worried as he lightly touched Holly's shoulder from behind, "I heard from multiple people that you were up all night. Again. That true?" He asked both curiously and slightly sternly.
"Blah, blah, blah," Holly waved off his sternness and instead turned around to face him, green eyes twinkling slightly, "I'm tired, not gonna die."
Finli rolled his eyes fondly, "so you think. Sleep deprivation is a big deal Holly, you know that Mrs. I-Know-Everything," he teased her lightly. "Why were you studying so hard anyway? You don't have any tests coming up, and you should've asked for my help, then you could've been able to sleep-Mmph."
Holly had cut him off, touched by his words and already super exhausted. So the ravenette promptly threw her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth, her brain running too sluggish to really think about it that much.
Finli's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, having not expected her to kiss him at all, she hadn't actually kissed him outside of the farm that he had grown up in and she had run away to for six months.
Diana burst into giggles, especially when Finli tentatively responded in turn for a few moments as Holly kissed him, giggling like an evil scientist.
Ivory stared at her sister like she had gone insane and lightly shook her head, not knowing any of what went through her sister's brain.
