Sable, however, lit up like sunshine. "Drake!!" he squeaked happily. His smile was so wide that his cheeks nearly swallowed his eyes. He always wanted more friends, but somehow he ended up on the side, quiet and overlooked. To have both Vlad Jr. and Drake now… his little heart fluttered with joy.
"Let's play together!!" Sable said brightly, his voice cracking with excitement as he bounced on his feet.
Drake's pout instantly dissolved, replaced by that irresistible grin of his. "Yesss! Let's play all three together!" His amber eyes sparkled with eagerness as he stretched his chubby hands toward the ball.
But Vlad Jr.'s crimson eyes narrowed dangerously. He pulled the ball back, clutching it against his chest like a treasure. "We were playing first," he said coldly, tilting his chin up.
Drake blinked at him, confused. "So? Now we play together! That's more fun!" He grabbed at the ball, his chubby fingers grazing it.
