“Laurent?!” someone from Sebastian’s group stood up and called out to the ones who just entered the bar.

Laurent gave her a big smile “Minerva?!” jogging towards their table. 

“You know them?” Teo asked, following Laurent from behind, he scanned the whole group and saw Sebastian, his eyes widened a little bit “Sebastian!”

Sebastian and Teo locked eyes, then Sebastian spoke “Hello” keeping his composure as usual even though he was freaking out. His hands trembled a bit while holding his glass. 

We keep seeing each other, Sebastian thought. He was about to lose his mind.

“If there are only two of you, just drink with us!” Minerva insisted, “There’s two extra chairs there! Near Sebastian” pointing at the chairs.

Teo and Laurent sat near Sebastian awkwardly. To change the subject, Laurent explained why he knew Minerva, “We were classmates back when I was a freshman in a different university! Before Minerva decided to shift majors”

♡♡♡

Everybody was having fun chatting with each other, it was pretty late at night so almost everybody in their group went home already. Unfortunately, Sebastian was still there, quietly drinking. He didn’t leave, he just couldn't, not when Teo was there.

Minerva showed a picture to Laurent and Teo. Laurent said, “I would let that person devour me!!” with a loud laugh. Minerva laughed too and said the same. They’re looking at celebrities' pictures and asking each other if they would date them.

“Psh” Teo added to the conversation “I’m not letting that person touch me! Not even my finger! You guys have no taste!” 

“Boooring” 

“Aww what? This person looks sooo good. This man is ethereal!!” 

I’m dizzy, damn it, Sebastian looks keenly at Teo, who is still drinking, not a hint of being drunk unlike him. How the hell is he still drinking? Does he always drink like this? 

Because he was drunk, what he was thinking is now being reflected on his face. His dour reactions were completely erased by the liquor.

Minerva, who is sitting next to Sebastian, asked “Hey, are you okay?” Sebastian looked at her and gave her a thumbs up, his head then fell on the table making a loud thud.

“Is he drunk?” Teo asks, staring at Sebastian with a hint of worry on his face.

Minerva panicked a little “Ah! I don’t know! This is the first time he went drinking with us”

Teo walked over Sebastian, kneeled beside him and gave him a glass of water “Here, drink this”

The drunk Sebastian had a flushed face, he gathered his strength to drink the water that was given to him, after that he gave Teo a thumbs up. His heart was racing, making him even more lightheaded.

“Wow! Teo, you’re so nice!” Minerva said, smiling at him, clapping her hands a little “Right, Laurent?”

Laurent acted drunk too, resting his head on the table like Sebastian “Waaah! Teo give me water too, I’m sooooo drunk!”

“Shut up, idiot” Teo chuckles slightly at his friend’s joke, going back to sit beside him.

♡♡♡

“He’s still drunk! What do we do?” Minerva asks, she keeps checking the time on her phone “It’s really getting late” she was starting to panic.

Laurent and Teo are helping Sebastian stand up by lifting his arms, Laurent asks “Do you know where he lives?”

“I-I don’t know, like I said earlier this is the first time he went drinking with us. We always ask him to come with us since he’s always alone but he kept refusing, he must’ve been in a good mood earlier to say yes” Minerva has a worried look on her face, she keeps sighing and thinking it's her fault.

Sebastian starts talking, slurring his words “I-I’m fine” giving them all a thumbs up, he tried standing up properly but couldn't. He was starting to black out, not hearing what the others were saying.

“Let’s just get him a cab?” Laurent asked, the three sober people were staring at each other “No?”

Minerva looks at the drunk Sebastian then at the two other men “I’m really really sorry, I have to go home, my little sister is waiting for me, she's alone right now…” 

“It’s okay Minerva, go home, we’ll handle this. Please be safe! Message Laurent once you get home” Teo said, having a hard time helping Sebastian since he was much bigger than him and Laurent, plus his glasses kept falling off which he had to fix every time.

Minerva kept apologizing before finally leaving. Now, it’s just Laurent and Teo carrying a heavily drunk Sebastian.

“Shit, I forgot to arrange the deliveries for the cafe” Laurent suddenly realized making Teo groan out loud, Laurent added “I’m so sorry! I promise I'm not even lying! I’m not teasing you right now! I swear with my life!”

Teo rolled his eyes a little “Fine, go, I can handle Sebastian” he scoffs, trying his best to keep Sebastian safe.

“You sure? He’s like… bigger than you” Laurent laughed a little looking at the poker-faced Teo who wasn’t having it, “Alright, I’ll stop teasing! Gotta go! I’ll make it up to you! Be safe!! Text me!!” He waved goodbye running towards the other direction since their cafe is also near the bar.

Teo observes Sebastian and sighs “Sebastian? Hey, wake up” the drunk Sebastian looked at him with a small smile and gave him a thumbs up. Teo chuckles a little at him “What’s with all the thumbs up? You’re a lightweight… Why did you even drink so much?”

♡♡♡

“The cab is here, Sebastian, where do you live?” Teo asks, helping him get inside the cab “Are you conscious right now? Don’t vomit, okay?”

Sebastian starts slurring his words again, telling Teo his address. His hair was a mess and his glasses were always falling off.

He’s still drunk, should I just go with him? 

Teo thinks to himself, looking at Sebastian, who just accidentally banged his head on the car window. That made Teo extra worried, panicking.

Teo gets in the cab immediately and tells the address to the driver. Something might happen to him if I leave him alone, he thought while grabbing Sebastian's glasses, taking it off of him because it might break.

♡♡♡

Teo pays the cab driver and helps Sebastian walk. Sebastian's glasses were in his pocket. He was surprised at how close Sebastian’s house was. Teo looks at the house before them “What the actual fuck? Did we get the wrong address?!” He turned to look back at the cab but it was gone.

The house was huge. It looked like someone REALLY rich lived there. There were no signs of anybody inside, no lights were turned on. With how fancy the house looked, Teo expected some maids and butlers to open up with music but there wasn't any.

Sebastian tries his best to stay sober but couldn’t, this is his first time experiencing being drunk. It wasn't what he thought. He thought he would still be cool after getting drunk, boy, how wrong was he.

“You live here?!” Teo gasps, his jaw dropping. He looked at Sebastian then at the house then at Sebastian again “Are you serious?!” He kept gasping out loud, he knew everybody at their high school was rich but he never expected Sebastian to be rich RICH. Their house looked glorious.

His house is fucking huge! He might be… richer than Laurent!

Laurent and his family live in a huge building, owning several condominiums. Sebastian lives in a mansion… they probably own even more land and buildings in the country.

Teo helps Sebastian get inside the house. Sebastian tried to tell Teo where his key was. As both of them struggled, Teo thought, He kept borrowing shit from me when he's this rich.

♡♡♡

“Is nobody home? Hello? Anybody? Your boy is drunk” Teo spoke with a loud voice, expecting some maid once again but none. The house felt cold and quiet with just them in it. Helping Sebastian walk has taken a toll on him. He was heavy. Teo is athletic but he was exhausted at the moment because of drinking earlier.

Sebastian muttered under his breath “Mom… is out and dad too” Teo was still helping him walk. Sebastian was trying his best, not even conscious of what’s happening at the moment.

“I feel guilty for entering your house… I’ll leave now” Teo panicked a little bit on the inside after laying Sebastian on the expensive looking sofa gently. He feels bad for even setting foot on this mansion. The sofa was so soft he felt like it wasn’t real. There was just one thing in that house that didn't belong and that was him.

Teo took one last look at Sebastian. Dang it, he looks so helpless. He sighed and walked towards the kitchen which was near the sofa Sebastian was in. I’ll just give him water and then I’ll leave.

Teo gasped once more. Their kitchen was so huge, even bigger than the whole apartment his mother and him are renting. Sebastian's kitchen had a mini bar, a huge dining table, beside that are huge windows where you can completely see the view from the outside. Near the fridge had a door, probably towards the backyard. Everything was gorgeous. 

Teo snapped back to reality and came back to Sebastian with a glass of water in hand, he helped Sebastian sit and drink the water “You’re so wasted. Is this your first time drinking?” The water started spilling on Sebastian’s shirt because he nodded yes to the question.

Teo panics once again but this time he doesn’t know what to do “Sebastian, the water!” he starts to help Sebastian with his shirt, his fingers unintentionally feeling Sebastian’s chest. Teo blushes and immediately resigned his hands. What the fuck are you thinking Teo?!

“S-So you’re okay now, right?” Teo averted his gaze, he can’t help but hide his blushing face. Good thing it was kind of dark in the room and Sebastian's drunk, he probably won't even remember.

Sebastian gave him a thumbs up and laid back again on the sofa, his eyes closed as he laid down, losing consciousness.

Teo sighs and carefully places Sebastian's glasses nearby, he then mumbled "His glasses probably cost more than my salary… Why the hell did I put them in my pocket?" 

♡♡♡

“Oh dear!!” Anselma ran up to the drunk Sebastian sleeping on the sofa “Sebastian?!” She knelt beside him and touched his forehead “Is he sick?!” Worry immediately overcomes her.

Anastacio followed her after locking the door “Is that Sebastian?” he pointed at him, Sebastian was covering his eyes using his arm “What happened?” He sits down on the floor beside his wife and observes his son.

“He smells like alcohol” Anselma looked at Anastacio, worried, then she stood up, not knowing what to do “Alcohol?!”

Anastacio gasped dramatically and sulked on the corner “Wha-?! He doesn’t even want to drink with me!!”

“Just help me wake him up so he can go to his room, his shirt is wet!” Anselma sighed and tried waking Sebastian up “But I’m glad he has friends to drink with now”

Anastacio, still sulking, said “What if he drank alone?”

“He would never, he would just go home. It’s like you don’t even know your own son!” Anselma laughed a bit at Anastacio’s remarks “Stop sulking and help me!!”

“Sebastian, wake up!!”

Sebastian just gave them a thumbs up.

♡♡♡

Teo is walking home, fortunately all the places he’s been today are kind of near to each other. Their apartment is near the cafe he works in, and Sebastian just lives in a subdivision nearby, he never expected that. Him and Sebastian have been that close to each other ever since.

I can’t believe it! Sebastian is probably richer than Laurent. I’m sure of it. He still couldn't believe how huge their house was. He's been to Laurent's unit, it was huge but a mansion is so much different. It’s nothing compared to their apartment. They truly live in two different worlds.

“Off from work?”

Teo turned his head to the voice, flinching a bit “Ma! You’re just getting home now?!”

“Look who’s talking! You smell like alcohol again” Mary joked, covering her nose and pushing her son's shoulder towards their apartment “Let’s go home”

Both of them walk towards their apartment while catching up, asking each other how their day's been.

“Where did you go today ma?”

“Karaoke bar! It’s been so long since I’ve seen my friends. You should come with us sometimes, they know you!” 

♡♡♡

After washing up, Teo lays down on his futon on the floor, takes his earrings off and starts daydreaming. His mother was still in the living room, doing something. Sebastian totally took most of the space in his brain that day.

Sebastian huh? He seemed to have changed a lot. He was cute back then but now he’s handsome… He is surprisingly fit. His chest and-

Upon realizing what he was thinking about, Teo gasps and whispers to himself “The fuck?” but his mind couldn’t be stopped, it kept wandering.

I can’t believe I… touched his chest… It was huge and the right amount of soft.

Teo closes his eyes, trying to avoid his thoughts “Just sleep” but he feels something growing underneath. His face is becoming hotter by the second, he can’t stop thinking about Sebastian’s chest from earlier, "Goddamnit"

Teo breathes heavily, his face flushed and his whole body getting hot, he sits up on his bed and removed his blanket above him, and there he sees a rock hard wood… he got a boner “Fuck! I must be drunk” He was completely sober.
