Despite how it might have made her sound, Hunter would be lying if she tried to claim she had even really thought about Gray at all that night. She and the rest of the events committee had put a lot of time and effort into planning this spirit week and homecoming festivities, and the blonde had been so caught up in admiring her own handiwork and shooting the shit with friends, that she hadn't even spared her sometimes boyfriend too much of a thought. Gray was very self-sufficient, and he didn't need her constant attention or supervision, which was part of what she enjoyed so much about him. She knew that he would, probably, be all right on his own for the evening. And so she had talked, danced, and moved around the hall like mad, greeting everyone, and never staying in one place for too long. She had even danced with a couple of freshman boys during the last fifteen minutes or so of the dance, and she was honestly sad to see the doors closing once eleven struck. She felt like Cinderella in better shoes, rushing home at the chime of the clock. Her feet were feeling sore from all of the dancing, and although she was still wearing her mask, her heels were held in her hand as she padded across the dewy grass in her bare feet. It wasn't until she was almost back to the dorms that she heard retching nearby, an almost familiar gagging. Furrowing her brow behind her mask, she moved closer, spotting the familiar figure hunched over and emptying his stomach next to Rienzi. "Right on my doorstep? Ya cocksucker, couldn't ya go puke on Sonnier or somethin'?"

"Profession fuck-up more like it," she corrected him, without any real malice to her tone, and a vague smile on her lips. For all that he did frustrate her when he was falling down drunk while she was stone-cold sober, she couldn't really be truly angry with him. "C'mon," the blonde instructed simply, releasing one hand, but using the other to guide him toward the entrance to Rienzi.
"Better not puke in my bed," she warned, as she opened the door and let them inside, reveling in the indoor air. The nights were cooling off, not much but some, and inside of the campus buildings was always just right. She figured it had to be charmed or something.

"I bet ya will," Hunter replied, unable to hold in a little chuckle at the wiggling of the eyebrows. No matter how off-putting he was, especially when he was as loaded as this, there was always that undeniable underlying charm. If she wasn't dating him, it might have even been infuriating instead of endearing.
"No, no sleeping puke. I've done that enough for one lifetime, not happenin' tonight," she agreed with him, leading him through Rienzi, and toward her room. She was glad to be a senior and have a space all to herself; explaining Gray to roommates had never been the most fun. And besides, with a space to themselves, they could do whatever they wanted.
If he stayed conscious that long.
