They were just about to keep talking, marcus opening his mouth like he was gonna say something else, when a shout cut through the kitchen

7Please respect copyright.PENANA2wHHwOhDhw
7Please respect copyright.PENANAb0sDc3WYc4
"AYO-WHY THE FUCK YOU PUTTIN BACON DOWN YOUR PANTS FOR?!"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWXuOSmR1U7
7Please respect copyright.PENANACEaxxkV2SW
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0WJjYE4dOc
Everything froze for half a second.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvPeZySQRoY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFoioI8dT5g
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3ObXHWuyxy
Marcus swore "fuck" he whipped his head towards the back of the kitchen, already moving "i told them to stay out the fridge!"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhPaOucMU2e
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhXAvue4fAO
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsHrMLSXFwJ
He took off at a jog, pushing past People with quick apologies that didnt sound very sorry. Jerome burst out laughing immediately almost choking on his drink.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA65boFsircL
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3qUb9wmZwY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAp4rUwr8XZz
"No way" Jerome said between laughs "not the bacon again"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z2UNVrH46
Marcus shouted something unintelligible as he disappeared into the crowd almost halfway across the kitchen already, and Jerome shook his head. "I gotta see this" he said pointing his cup towards alaster "don't die"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFKavCTLGqG
7Please respect copyright.PENANAo4XrVAU5DI
7Please respect copyright.PENANAD49NRS7WKf
And just like that they were gone.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAl3UcQiVe5E
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdoEuKhdorm
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0HUBfgFJNo
Alaster stood there, cup in hand, blinking once.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAP2OD6Xr46e
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKnx731Z181
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqeKm0eCPtP
Then twice.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAusETOEr9WO
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3z92K9ilmo
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlFkEW6Mzgy
He let out a quiet huff of a laugh, shaking his head. "What the fuck" he said to himself. For a moment, he was alone. The kitchen noise rushed back in around him, music, voices, laughter, someone slamming a cabinet shut.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQaY39V26Ce
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtwBGUBEoVi
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcZHTKCjv4g
He shifted his weight, suddenly very aware of himself again and of the cup in his hand and the space beside him that had just emptied out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaH3HLIRNwR
7Please respect copyright.PENANARKnfKx0jrB
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7fwCalq3KU
He took another sip if his drink, smaller this time as he could feel it kicking in, his head getting a little fuzzy.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABipynj3QVu
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvW5UeRtJtA
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3JrsL61Tm
"That was...something"
7Please respect copyright.PENANABbnLZJ3xIY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWklcccIAKH
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtyF4eTHd00
The voice wasn't familer
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2w4sU3IKN3
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoFqDeiioHj
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqJo5nx4WcD
Alaster looked up.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASSebB1cunE
7Please respect copyright.PENANATwsRHZeCip
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3p0P0Xtclc
It was the guy from the porch. The one who stared at him a little too long.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApkk4CvdMUJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAR4uwkdZgKd
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2KVXVZxHec
Up closer he was even cuter, (unfortunately). Black hair falling into his face, sharp dark eyes softened with a smile. He stood a little too close but not aggressively.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAr99Oj06geJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6TPfOEmurH
7Please respect copyright.PENANAW2YRzSxfH1
"Uh" alaster was caught off guard a little bit "yeah...bacon is serious business"
7Please respect copyright.PENANArLDdL1TzOJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKPea5eXa24
7Please respect copyright.PENANA91K8sE9MhV
The guy laughed, genuine but quiet. "Apparently" he nodded towards the direction marcus and Jerome had run off to "those your people?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA52GigbQ036
7Please respect copyright.PENANAc1jxS3WmJc
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJHpRrhCwPx
"Yeah" alaster said "unfortunately"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZfrISnOlW
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHYburfRRGP
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGTfF54lqd6
"Damn" the guy said "they seem fun"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgpHuurOKI0
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkBOwOhwjFa
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ1t24Js5d
Alaster snorted 'ew' he recoiled internally at the noise he made "yeah that's definitely one way to describe them"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA67YXLPYops
7Please respect copyright.PENANALyGeLpZThO
7Please respect copyright.PENANATZd27YWFWs
There was a brief pause, not exactly akward but hovering there. "I'm micha" the guy finally said sticking his hand out "by the way"
7Please respect copyright.PENANARORQKLZoar
7Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ouYTAON8
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVpBwZlGN
Alaster shifted his cup to his other hand and shook it "alaster"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEHwHNCnwAu
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJEkbFiTAMR
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGqNiFARRzo
"Micha" he reapeated, smiling again. "It's nice to actually introduce myself, I saw you on the porch earlier"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIIf4ZMGq04
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuGGSz3SmNT
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWKtV1rynfe
"Yeah" heat creeping up on alasters face, from the alcohol and the cute guy talking to him "you were staring"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVOmEuNOb9m
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3fKUiNSzDq
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGJkSGtSq7S
Micha blinked, then softly laughed "yeah, sorry. I wasn't trying to be weird"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOB0ivXBF0Q
7Please respect copyright.PENANABoGgGqP2uQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsZrbdomTSU
"It's fine!" Alaster said too quickly "I mean..I noticed is all"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGNw15OR7gf
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwVZMLcDmh9
7Please respect copyright.PENANAO7wRwDD4DA
Micha tilted his head, studying him, less like being watched and more like being seen "you seem like you would rather be anywhere else"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlqXu2OU4Vu
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3rL2TSgbX5
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1YpAvr8j9
Alaster huffed a quiet laugh. "You're not wrong"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbJAjZymTOG
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgOYQyGmmhm
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeXyQs4YAR2
"First time at a party?" Micha asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYJuRsLgM9P
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0FLGjB7mnW
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnQcRkx3d1s
"No, I just usually don't go to parties" alaster replied "they aren't really my thing"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ndYwpgbp
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUVCZnHxqdJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MTnBNLzC
"Oh yeah, I mostly just come for the free drinks but sometimes I get to meet cool people like you"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxCype2NI0L
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1KM4vPLGtV
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKn7M0L3kZ1
That made alaster pause, he was never good with complements.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjzIeiF4fkG
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGAuhVeFdgr
7Please respect copyright.PENANALUvDSV6RaX
He blinked and looked down at his drink "uh" he said eloquent as ever "thanks". Micha nodded not really expecting anything smoother "you're welcome"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAn0fFjyhKbD
7Please respect copyright.PENANArrCGapDuO2
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMyAjQXZvuA
Alaster took another sip of his drink, hoping to loosen himself up some more or something. The alcohol made his chest warm and he felt that familer fuzzy feeling taking hold over him, stronger and slightly swirling.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfzgBDBqA8F
7Please respect copyright.PENANATeHHHZKwn3
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmSXMbaBmW9
7Please respect copyright.PENANAI5Cwx92An1
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwj0kYr2Lr5
He wasn't sloppy yet, but he was getting there, 'im such a lightweight' he thought. "So you live around here?" Micha asked leaning against the counter next to him with his free hand, the other one holding a red solo cup half full of something sweet.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sk5mGucCF
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6KhC3FHaof
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxBnTvnjtZ5
"South side" alaster replied slightly slurred as he subconsciously moved closer to micha "not too far"
7Please respect copyright.PENANADNxnXLfaZU
7Please respect copyright.PENANA58jjSX9GSQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhN3OKoYf5f
"Same" micha replied looking alaster up and down "I'm crashing with a friend tonight tho', didn't feel like walking all the way back home"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8IvuWdSAMY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuETNJm9PHz
7Please respect copyright.PENANA64SzKUHK06
Alaster nodded "that's fair"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaeA5tcPMfR
7Please respect copyright.PENANA16GTfdMSOC
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEbW5F943v9
Alasters brief pause settled but it wasn't uncomfortable just...quiet. micha glanced to alasters cup "what are you drinking?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfvn4JFfbuQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJcSYXnm2jK
7Please respect copyright.PENANACcRQDivMld
"Vodka, barely mixed"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOAGatU7ev3
7Please respect copyright.PENANAd4vmeUdnpt
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnYSj8WFdFn
Micha winced "oof, wanting to get fuck up huh?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlPCoPplACK
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnFpzpNCq2r
7Please respect copyright.PENANADwnhk1qKv7
Alaster smiled cheekily and took another gulp of his drink his cup now empty.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAryepBtMter
7Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ExqmWG7f
7Please respect copyright.PENANA75k7SXUpHc
Michas eyes flickered down to the empty cup, then back up to alasters face. His smile widened, sharp at the edges.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxgjwFg8HQf
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4cmupwP1gR
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgzmiU2GyIX
"Damn" he said. "You don't fuck around"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVAcyubcbss
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7pCjqZcP2i
7Please respect copyright.PENANAseK6eZV2v6
Alaster shrugged, loose now, shoulders easy and relaxed "I just want to have some fun, ya know?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9XBEkN5PBz
7Please respect copyright.PENANACn4GlwzHZY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKkjMQpNcXj
Micha laughed and leaned in closer, close enough that alaster could smell whatever sweet shit he was drinking "c'mon then" he said, already reaching past alaster and to a bottle of something clear behind him. "If your tryna get fucked up, you're doing it wrong" .
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfvyXH0eHtI
7Please respect copyright.PENANA121QOf7lcL
7Please respect copyright.PENANALEUOZ71RMJ
Alaster blinked. "Huh?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGD3c4M4IY7
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmvs9cwdkFt
7Please respect copyright.PENANACHw8PdhSk2
Micha grabbed the bottle, lifting it like a prized fish. "Shots" he said simply. "Way faster"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3QuUdeFSOq
Alaster hesitated for a split second. He should've said no. He knew that somewhere in the back of his head, the part of him that was always so safe, but that part was buried, buried under warmth, noise and fuzzyness.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArS7cPxXnjf
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6JWHskIkWF
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhK6x39QIBD
Instead, he snorted. "I already said I'm a lightweight" no you didnt, are you really that drunk already? You said that in your head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPSYSKVGaxV
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEVKdHj4i1f
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcuOhjqLswW
"Perfect" micha replied easily. "Means it won't take much"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUFJjtwzsVD
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIwp8SvwcK5
7Please respect copyright.PENANApnRmEOcQEj
That should have been the first red flag, but alaster was too drunk to see how weird what he said was.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4L9bX8zJRy
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfRYMZcfRLw
7Please respect copyright.PENANAokKgBWFnkZ
Micha set the shot glasses down, sliding one over to alaster. The leds in the kitchen flashed a mix of red and blue, and the music swirled around him along with the room.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAa2xXam2SYm
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcRo6lzAfzv
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMFWx1tWF9h
"I dunno" alaster said even as he picked up the shot glass. "I might die"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdORgd5BuLa
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIpSdr6p5Ri
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7BGdOmnd0v
Micha grinned. "I'll carry you to the couch if you do"
7Please respect copyright.PENANADlF1mIfoUZ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHwMhR9HE1v
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkgkuCqwiCH
Alaster laughed, short and breathy "you don't even know me."
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeARguOAgTb
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzXIkYeU8ot
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzvzlbmiqjN
"Sure I do" micha said "you hate parties, you drink straight vodka and your friends had to go stop someone from stealing some bacon"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkcFKdyffOd
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4mkSwMGosB
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZK3uMifNel
Alaster couldn't argue with that.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4KobpCiKW
7Please respect copyright.PENANAk3KXrEelTQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2MRQOnk3jK
"Fine" he said. "One"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOULPnGUCvC
Micha raised his shot glass and smirked "that's all I needed to hear"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWScHcL03j3
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAJuaNlmmhW
7Please respect copyright.PENANA80gHnqtFO7
They clinked glasses. Alaster knocked his back quickly, not noticing that micha didn't even do his, his face twisted as it burned, wanting to gag from the taste but he pushed it down.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATRAeF6xZML
7Please respect copyright.PENANANd5x8zx73L
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaWh2jXJFyS
"Jesus-fuck" he muttered
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGwLHRzoH5l
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQPnusBzV5R
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOSR9eaAZsz
Micha laughed "yeah, there it is"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvL5cvDmWVs
7Please respect copyright.PENANArbw0KA4cYb
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGAlGJ95DQH
Alaster shook his head, eyes watering slightly. "You're evil"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsod1zBKSoK
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZWdCXzEIGU
7Please respect copyright.PENANASkecBiS7rZ
"And yet" micha said, already refilling alasters glass, "you're still standing here"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoqzK0UXIVs
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvvyuSqV7CI
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4BUyrZZvbj
Alaster frowned at the second shot "hey, I said only one"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAm0tPTuqL53
Micha slid it closer anyways "relax, you're good, you're having fun now"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcycCz6oVpT
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWaHwQMMmRs
7Please respect copyright.PENANAc5COfSAn43
The words settled strangely in alasters chest. You're having fun now. Like it wasn't up to him. He hesitated again, longer this time "c'mon. Don't back out now. You trust me, right?"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgjGA4FYaOu
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuTPfBVtCjT
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIFS7ZqdVCM
Alaster swallowed thickly.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARFHQw4yDbj
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYuVfEgSnIy
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMIov7e5HJK
The room suddenly felt too hot, the music too loud. His head swam, his thoughts slow, his vision softer around the edges. He didn't trust him, the idea felt distant, abstract.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIlvIx4HbsU
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7DIi8ECLbY
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtLulE75lIE
"..yeah" he said finally, hating how easy it came out "okay".
7Please respect copyright.PENANAw3oGIy7ESJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQqiIFynNt1
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqTGwWLlGiZ
Michas smile returned instantly.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXFXNye3nzj
"That's my guy"
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3qQlvjl0VU
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYoNoY2tK83
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxl567q9S0k
Alaster took the second shot.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2hrtJrHs6l
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPNxqueyWYB
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXi2yCHAp3a
This one hit him harder, or maybe it was the first one kicking in, he couldn't tell anymore. He swayed slightly, catching himself on the counter with a quiet laugh that didn't sound quite right.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABox0jy05SM
7Please respect copyright.PENANASeUkYIcOlk
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6tGhQyCueP
His vision blurred futhrr, neon lights streaking. "Woah" he muttered "yeah, yeah that was a bad idea"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtpTYm13S87
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvANs2Poh4p
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8lrMkl8UdJ
Michas hand landed on his arms, fingers gripping just a little too firmly. "You're fine" he said smoothly. "Just breath"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqtMto8bPnQ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzgvsOgSV98
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7wErzjb2wJ
Alaster nodded his stomach twisting in knots. He kind of tried to pull away from micha but michas grip only tightened.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiSFE0WkRjl
"Lets go somewhere quieter" micha added, steering alaster away from the counter "kitchens kinda crazy"
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlqypeUrYkK
7Please respect copyright.PENANAownMEqVY1G
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwjHZktNoFH
Alaster let himself be guided, his head fuzzy and limbs heavy, somewhere far away he thought of marcus, jerome and juice, and how maybe he should wait for them by the counter.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADU6SijRbMt
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlwrvSunYU1
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUlR5hayhPt
He told himself it was okay.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnSrH78JpGe
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9G11DyqCYl
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGaEVMwiXjM
He didnt notice how micha was slowly leading him upstairs
