CHAPTER 6

Kate's POV

"Wanna dance?" he asked me with that cute smile of his.

I waited till the others walked off. I grinned at him widley.

"Why not?" i giggled. He smiled and his tail wagged a bit. I grabbed him by the arm and tore him over to the claimed dance floor. I put my paws on his shoulders and he followed after a few seconds, placing his on my waist. We were caught in a daze at one point and couldn't stop looking at each other. At one point we accidently slow danced near allie and hutch. "Psst!" allie giggled. I leaned over when humphrey wasn't looking and was chatting with hutch for a brief moment.

"The next dance is for couples, but i can make it so us four can stay on!" she whispered quietly. "Why for couples?" i whispered back.

She put her paw to her mouth to hide a giggle.

"Because you have to hug each other, not swing side to side like beyonce, dummy!" she giggled. I blushed but smiled widely. "Really?!" she nodded and i squealed a bit. Humphrey gave me a weird look, but it was followed with a cute smile.

"Uh.. sorry. Just like the song so much." i giggled.

"And i like y-" he was cut off when the speaker blared.

"Alright y'all! Please clear the floor for the couples!"

"Oh, well… time to- ERK!" i yelped a little as kate hugged me tightly. I looked at hutch. Allie did the same thing. They weren't letting go. We were both shocked and confused.

He shrugged and hugged her back.i looked at kate with a dreamy smile. Her eyes were closed and her mane's looked amazing in the moonlight.

"Just saying, but you look amazing in this moonlight." i whispered to her with a sigh.

She blushed and looked up at me with her eyes open. She gave me a little kiss on the cheek. "Your sweet, and adorable." she giggled.

We kept dancing for awhile, and we didn't stop once. Hutch and allie went… somewhere i think is where i'll keep it at for now.

When the dance ended, we were all free to go back to actually dancing to the dubstep beats and that, but me and kate sticked together trying to find "fitzy" and lily.

Garth walked up, and he looked drunk. More drunk than higgins in the first grown ups.

"Heyyy… katherine." he chuckled. "It's kate." she spoke a little quietly. He frowned a bit.

"What did you just say?" he growled with a burp from his not-so-lite beer.

He was reaching for her shoulder when i grabbed his hand. "Dude. your drunk, go sleep it off." i said a little coldly by accident. He pouted but than smiled weirdly.

"I will… with her!" he chuckled reaching for her paw. I pushed him away.

"HEY!" he snapped. He threw the first punch and i caught it. I looked at kate with a smile, only because i was trying to hide the fact i was blown away on how i caught that.

She didn't know what to do, so she took a step back. He held up the bottle and smacked it against my shoulder. During its smash, a few pieces cut just above the skin. It felt like my arm was on fire. "OW!" i yelped. The bottle still had a full handle left at the top, making a small glass pole with a sharp end. "That's it. Fuck you." i growled as i threw a blow to his snout. He fell backwards, landing on the side of the handle. The smash was seen by small pieces flying out from beneath his back. "Ohhh…" he moaned as he drifted off. There were already a couple fights so no one cared really. I held my shoulder and trudged over to kate.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" she yelped at the sight of my shoulder leaking blood down through my fur. "Time to go?" she asked with a sigh. "Maybe.' i chuckled with a wince. She wrapped her arms around me as we started to head back towards the entrance. Fitz and lily walked up. I put up my shirt more on my shoulder. I didn't want to talk to anyone else besides kate for the rest of the night… well, after this.

"Kate?" lily giggled squeezing fitz's arm a litte. "Yes?" she replied with a dreamy smile. She looked at me with a shrug. I chuckled and ruffled her hair a bit.

"Also humphrey." lily added quickly. I raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Is it okay if you stay at humphrey's tonight?" lily asked with a weird laugh.

She got a little closer to fitz. Me and kate looked at each other at the same time.

"Sure… but why?" kate giggled. "We have our reasons, also, i'm taking the camaro." fitz chuckled. "Aw what?! Come on!" i pouted a bit. "Sorry, but we both bought it." fitz laughed a little. I rolled my eyes and kate laughed.i side glanced at her with a smile.

"Fine. you to go ahead. We can walk back to mine… i mean ours." i sighed with a chuckle. They nodded saying thanks and tore off.

"Come on! I still have to get my stuff!" kate giggled as she tugged on my arm.

"Alright, alright! Your freaking out!" i joked. She laughed a bit as we walked through the crowd. We came behind the stage and she slapped her paws against her face. She went to hit herself but i grabbed her paw. "Not letting anyone hurt you, even yourself." i giggled. She blushed with a smile but frowned a bit.

"I forgot me and lily put our stuff in the same bag, she must've taken it in her rush to leave with fitz." she sighed. That meant she would have to wear her striped bikini suit all the way to my house. I wrapped my arm around her head and pulled her in as we started walking.

Kate's POV

Me and humphrey started walking to his house. It would be a bit of a walk since he lived through town on the other side… at least he lives close to me! I was cold in the nightly summer breeze. We were walking down the road passing the 711 when a truck slowly drove by. It was full of slightly drunken teens from the party.

"Hey, sexy! Come ride with us WOOO!" one of them yelled.

"Wanna have some fun? I promise i'm gentle!" another snickered.

I sighed. Humphrey saddened a bit and quickly growled at the truck. He chucked a stone at the windshield. Startling the driver, the truck veered off into the dark.

"Fuckin' Perverts." he uttered under his breath. He looked over at me and saw how i was freezing. "Here, least i can do." he started unbuttoning his shirt.

"What a-are you doing?" i stuttered in the cold.

He took off his shirt and put it on me. I'll admit, it was pretty warm, and it made me feel hotter knowing it was humphrey who had just totally gone out of his way to make sure i was okay. "N-no… i'm o-okay." i sighed as i slowly started taking it off. The breeze hit me, but not for long. Humphrey wrapped it around me tightly and pulled me in.

"Your staying w-warm like i-it or not." he chuckled starting to freeze a bit.

"Your so sweet." i sighed as i rested my head against his shoulder. He rested his on mine as well as we walked silently for the next few minutes… cuddling while moving almost. We walked through the door about fifteen minutes later.

He sat me down on his couch and put a blanket over me. He ruffled my hair with a giggled when i blushed and thanked him. "Coffee or cocoa?" he asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Uh.. i'll go with cocoa for now please, hummy!" i giggled as i called back into the kitchen. Even though it's been his nickname for the past several years he doesn't know that i'm actually calling and giving him a nickname like a good girlfriend would.

Hank came bounding from down the stairs and wagged his little stubbed tail when he saw me. He ran up and sat next to me on the couch. Humphrey walked in with a couple mugs a few minutes later. "What? No cuddles for me?" he made a puppy dog face and drooped his ears. He looked soooo CUTE! I lifted up the blanket and hank barked in a happy kind of tone as he smiled and got under the covers. I rested my head on his once again and hank jumped up onto our laps and dozed off pretty quickly. He wrapped his arm around me as we turned on some family guy. Humphrey was the best cuddle buddy EVER! He was so soft, and fluffy, like he was baymax or something from that scene where the school mascot guy proclaims he's a giant warm marshmallow.

"Comfy?" he giggled with a yawn. I nodded and he kind of hugged me as he started to fall asleep. I looked at hank. He had one eye open with his tongue out. He was panting a bit. I looked up at humphrey… sort of since his snout was on my forehead kind of. I leaned in and gave him a kiss under his chin, so it was close enough to his mouth.

He giggled in his sleep and uttered something. "So.. thats a yes than?" he mumbled through a small snore. "Aww!" i giggled. I was watching peter griffin fight quagmire when he accidently fell over in his sleep on my lap. Hank was out of the way so he kept running in his sleep. "ACK! Sorry!" humphrey shook his head as he sat up.

"Humphrey! It's okay!" i giggled. He nodded with his cheeks red from embarrassment under his fur. We fell asleep with our heads on top of each other a few minutes later with hank wedged in between us. We were like a big heated bubble with no entry for the cold air to get through. Without notice we both wrapped our arms around each other and the pug that couldn't escape our grasp.

If there was one guy that i had to die with or even for…

It would be this amazing wolf right here.
