Description
Ethan wanted to play as many games as he could when he first arrived. He half dragged his friends from stall to stall, and they took turns dragging him and the rest of the group to other games.
Until they reached the Man hunt stall.
"I'm in! Who else?" Ethan grinned.
"Me!" Bio raised her paw.
Oddessa also raised their hand, albeit hesitantly.
"Great!" Ethan smiled, clearing his throat. "I'll get us signed up." Then turned and marched happily to the stall.
He filled out the forms needed and was handed 3 blue ribbons.
"You're blue team?" Another older kit glanced over, tying a yellow ribbon to their arm.
"Yep!" Ethan smiled, tying his. "Me and my friends are- *clears throat* Are all on the same team."
The older kit blinked in confusion. "Wait... Are you Ethan? The kit with tourettes?"
Ethan hesitated with his tying. "Um... My name is Ethan." He said quietly, flicking his ear and avoiding the second part of the question.
The older kit chewed his lip a moment, then glanced away. "Um, are you sure...you don't want to play another game?" He asked quietly.
Ethan shrunk. "N-no I want to play this game. Why?"
"Nothing!" The kit said quietly, looking embarrassed. "I just... Maybe you should play a game you don't... Have a...you know... disadvantage with?"
"D...disadvantage?" Ethan repeated, tightening his grip on the ribbons.
"Ethan?" Bio walked up, holding her hand out for the bands. "Come on, were about to start!"
"Oh, yea." Ethan smiled to her, flicking his ear. "Coming."
He glanced at the older kit as he walked away, feeling smaller somehow.
And as fate would have it... His ticking did actually get him caught.
He got scared as the seeker got close, and cleared his throat loudly. Then his twitching tail uncovered Oddessa hiding nearby.
Now the pair sat in the found spot, waiting for the game to end. Ethan didn't say a word, but he felt his friend's gaze on his side.
And glancing up, he saw the older kit looking at him pitifully.
Once the game was over, he didn't even wait to see what game was offered next.
"Im going home for a while." He said, swiftly turning away. "I'll see you gu-*clears throat* Guys at the dance later."
