Bright lights, alcohol, loud music…practically the perfect recipe for a good party. Just what player needed! They’ve been in kind of a funk. They stand with Finn and the rest of his gang, chatting among themselves
“I bet you 20 bucks one of us is gonna end up flat on their face!” Megaphone man chuckles
“You’re on!” Player challenged, smirking. Was everything this bright? Whatever, they must be getting overwhelmed. They shake it off, going to hang out with Finn mccool, their joyfriend.
“Babes! Hey! Looking good tonight” he kissed them on the cheek before putting his arm around them
“Hehe, hi Finn~” they leaned against him, looking at the cup in their hands
“How are you doing? The party not too loud?”
“Ah, I’ll get used to it! Just a house party.” They shrugged, drinking the cheep beer that was in their cup
“If you insist! Oh, gotta help the boys out with something, I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
They share a small kiss before he goes to help deleter and shotgun bloke.
Player, now left by themself, chugs down some more beer, what’s the harm in getting a bit tipsy? They smiled, feeling a bit better by distracting themself with a fun board game they pulled out
“Dude how are you so good at this?” Finn laughs
“It’s a skill issue!” Megaphone man quips back
Finn looked over at player, seeing them dazed and staring off into space. “Hey, babes, how much did you drink?” They chuckled
“Not…much. Just a couple of cups of that cheep beer.”
“…” Finn frowned before turning to the rest of them “can you excuse us?” He helps player up and takes them up to the second floor bathroom
“What, did you wanna make out that bad?” They winked. Their face fell seeing Finn’s concern
“As much as I would like to, you’re pale, like sick looking. And not in the good way.”
“…oh. So that’s why everything’s too bright and fuzzy…” they leaned against the sink, everything crashing down on them “I don’t feel so good…” they breathed out, nearly collapsing had Finn not been there
“Jesus, babes! You’re gonna give me a heart attack!” He said, making them upright. “How bad do you feel, you gonna puke?”
They nodded, and he turns them around so they could vomit into the sink, he puts their hair up so it wouldn’t get messy.
“Ugh..” they groaned, in between waves of nausea, “god…”
“Easy…” he rubs their back “is it done?” He looks at their face, before determining that they were better, “okay good. You’re going to bed.”
“Whatttt nooooo” they whined
“You have to, alright? Can’t have you passing out here.” He helped them walk out to their RV.
Getting them into bed was easier than he thought, as once the two entered their RV, player hobbled over to their bed and collapsed into it
“Yeesh, you’re feelin worse than ever huh…” he sits by them, putting his hand on their forehead, “you’re burnin up babes!” His eyes widened
“Oh…shit… I am?” They mumbled, exhausted and slightly drunk
“Yeah you are… I’ll run inside for a little bit.” He got up before turning to them, “don’t die on me.” He squints his eyes before leaving them alone for a moment
It was quiet, and the air felt calmer….it was nice and dark, their bed was so soft. It took everything in them not to pass out right then and there.
Before they could close their eyes, Finn came back in “alright sweetcheeks, I got some water and medicine for ya.” He helps them sit up and hands them a water bottle which they happily chug down
“Guh…thank you.” They put the water down after drinking some.
“You’re welcome. Now get some sleep, medicine might react funny with alcohol.”
Player laid back down as Finn put the blanket over them, going back to the house party.
Their sleep was dreamless thankfully. They awoke to Finn laying next to them, scrolling on his phone. “Morning~” he kissed them on the forehead, “feel better?”
“…no.” They muttered honestly.
“I figured.” He hands them a pill- a fever reducer- which they took with no issue.
“You hungry?”
“…no.. could we just stay here for a bit?”
“Absolutely” he pulled them closer, their head on his chest
