Blinding Lights (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

She made a noise. This was becoming uncomfortable. "Be nice, he's smart, and a good guy, really.."
 
She set her food down. "And what if I did?" She laughed, astonished. "Are you guys really gonna tell me that some old wives tales about gnolls are gonna color your view on a whole race? That I shouldn't be associating with him?"
 
"Oh, my god. What is wrong with all of you? Yeah, we're fucking. Yeah, we're going steady, my god what is this the dark ages? You all so goddamn close-minded?" She was beyond upset now.
 
"Turn on me?" she asked. "Really? He's not some crazed fucking demon. Gods, we want to have kids, I don't think he'd even think about hurting me, let alone kill me. I genuinely can't believe you guys."
 
They were silent for a long time, just staring at her.
"Kids?"
"Caeda, you're like...22..."
"Can you even have kids with a gnoll?"
 
They started laughing at her. Genuine laughter that they struggled to contain.
"Oh my God! How rich!"
"Gnolls are insane! He would never be a good dad!"
"Shit, even if you did have kids, they'd be hideous!!" They laughed harder, and her chest ached; these girls weren't her friends at all, what friends would say such hurtful things to her?
 
She packed her things. "Not as hideous as your fucking personalities, apparently. You all are the worst people I have ever met." She said.
 
Their laughter suddenly died down, and when she looked at them, they looked afraid. But they weren't looking at her, more behind her. Their mouths opened and closed like gasping fish, struggling with words they couldn't find.
 
She felt a little smug. "Yeah, that's what I fucking thought. Shallow assholes.." she said before turning around to leave
 
When she turned, she came face to chest with Aphron. His eyes were wild, angry, his chest heaving with every barely contained breath.
 
"I missed you and wanted to see if I could spend the last bit of lunch with you." He said, voice strained, his eyes never leaving her friends who sat cowering away from him.
 
She made a noise and looked back to them. "Well.. let's go.. we can have a better lunch somewhere else.." she said.
 
He nodded and took her hand, his eyes never leaving them before he was forced to turn his head away. When they got far enough away, he squeezed her hand, and looking at him she saw he was sad.
"Is Aphron crazy...? Does Caeda think our cubs will be ugly...?"
 
She frowned and held his hand tight. "Baby no.. don't listen to them.. they're crazy.. they're dumb.. you're gorgeous, and we're going to make beautiful babies.." she said, smiling as she tried to cheer him up.
 
He smiled at that, looking at her gently, "Caeda really thinks so...? Caeda and Aphron's cubs will be beautiful...?"
