@shctupmeg sent: "Morty, I'm so glad you could make it!" Her eyes cast down at the dress she was wearing. She even did a little spin for her almost boyfriend. "Do you like it? I know it's kind of a lot, but I figured since my party is kinda big I'd wear something fitting of that." for Meg's bday party

Morty awkwardly fidgeted in his spot right near the room entrance. He and Summer had arrived together, but his sister ditched him the moment they had stepped in, to join a group of girls she knew from school. And most likely to check one of the buffets.

The boy had been tempted to follow and grab a drink for himself, but it didn't feel right to go mingle without talking to Meg first and foremost.

Unfortunately, there were too many people and he kept failing at finding her in the crowd. He imagined that she had to be around, playing the role of the good host and of the birthday girl, which meant that it might take a while before she noticed him.

When Meg's voice reached him, he was about to move to a spot where he would have hopefully been more visible. Morty turned around, ready to greet her and wish her a happy birthday, but the words got stuck in his throat at the sight of her.

Hazel eyes widened and slowly moved down along the girl's figure, taking in the soft shades and cloth of her dress. He had seen her dressed up in a few occasions, but this was different. She looked...he couldn't even find a proper word for it.

"...W-Wow," was the first word that left his mouth and he instantly cringed at himself. Great. Not only he had sounded dumb, but that was...sort of rude too, wasn't it?

"I-I mean! Of course...I-I'm here, I wouldn't have missed you...uh, y-your party for the world!" He hurried to correct himself with a nervous chuckle. He needed to get it together. "An-And it's definitely not too much. I-It's your day, so, you know, y-you should get to wear whatever you want."

Better.

"An-And, uh, for what's worth..." His cheeks turned a dark shade of pink. "I-I think you look beautiful dressed like this."
