Chapter Text
Charlie woke with everything being blurry and every sense or feeling gone besides the single feel of warmth and comfort. He felt a body spooning him and he couldn't hep but cuddle closer to it. It's been ages since he's been loved or cared for romantically or even just platonically. His eyes began to feel misty and his vision became somehow even worse with the tears building up.
He didn't know why tears started streaming down his cheeks, but they didn't stop. A small sniffle came from his nose and his eyebrows started to furrow. His body began to close up and form the fetal position as he cried softly. The man behind him shifted his weight and cuddled Charlie tighter. Charlie's eyes widened and he stopped smiling. He turned his body around slowly and could finally make out who was cuddling him.
Mariana. Small freckles littered all over his almost godly crafted face. His long eyelashes were gently shut and his eyebrows were soft yet defined. His hair sprawled across his face in a messy yet incredibly handsome way. And how could Charlie ever forget, Mariana's lips. They were plump, soft, and so perfect. Charlie had noticed it the second he laid eyes upon the boy. He had always dreamt of laying his lips upon the other, mixing saliva and lapping each others tongues...
Charlie felt his boxers start to strain. He snapped out of his trance and started to blush as he realized what was happening. He slowly grabbed his glasses and put them on, taking in the sight before him. A beautiful Mariana sprawled out before him. His body relaxed and he sighed, loving the man in front of him. His hand reached out to cup Mariana's face gently as to not wake him up.
To Charlie's surprise, Mariana leaned into his hand. Charlie's eyebrows furrowed and his eyes became misty once again. He had realized that only in his sleep would Mariana love Charlie. A single tear rolled down his cheek and he wiped it as soon as it fell. He got up slowly and tucked Mariana in after him. Charlie headed to the bathroom and freshened himself up.
He looked in the mirror in disgust. His hair was messy and springy, his eyes were bloodshot and wet, and his nose was stuffed. Regardless of being decent looking, he had zero self esteem. He cried knowing that Mariana would never find any attraction towards the smaller man. His hands gripped the counter in order to keep quiet. The knuckles on his hands began to turn white and he snapped back to reality and backed away from his reflection.
He slowly walked back and turned on the sink to splash water on his face. He washed his looks until he felt cleaner and a little better than before. He dragged his feet tiredly out of the bathroom and made his way towards the couch while rubbing his eye. Mariana still wasn't awake yet and there was no way he could fall back asleep so he headed upstairs to get something to eat.
His eyes are met with Will and Alex resting on the couch with Will playing with Alex's hair while he rested. Will looked over and smiled tiredly, seeming to be the only one awake. Charlie headed over to the couch opposing to the couple. He sighed as the couch practically engulfed his tired limbs.
He looked over at the two, where Will was comforting Alex through his sleep. He looked at Will's lovestruck expression and he couldn't help but feel a stab of loneliness in his heart. He could only imagine how in love the two are with each other. They were practically radiating love and care for each other and Charlie wasn't ready to cry again so he stood up and walked to the kitchen.
He saw empty bottles and their caps were either gone or sprawled around the counters. Right. He had forgotten about the drunken night but he quietly laughed to himself when he remembered Alex being drunk for the first time. A twang of pain hit his head as he realized he drank a lot as well, and he had developed a little bit of a hangover.
Charlie opened the medicine cabinet and took out two ibuprofen to take. He considered getting some for Alex since he was practically black out drunk last night, but he hadn't woken up yet so it wasn't yet needed. He grabbed a plastic cup and filled it with water to take the pain killers. He raised his hand and the cup to his mouth and downed the entire cup like he hadn't drank water in his life.
He dropped the cup into the sink and panted a little before moving to the fridge to find something to eat. He sluggishly pulled open the heavy fridge door and peered inside for something quick to eat. He frowned as he saw a practically empty fridge besides beer and some leftovers. He closed the door and headed to the cabinet next to the oven and finally found cereal to quench his hunger.
He chose to have lucky charms and poured it into the bowl before grabbing milk and pouring it generously over the cereal. He grabbed a spoon and mixed it around until it was evenly coated. He tiredly walked to the kitchen table while rubbing his eye with his free hand. The cereal and milk touching his mouth was like pure heaven. He slowly ate every last bit, making sure to savor every bite.
He heard steps heading in his direction and turned his head to see Cellbit and Roier walking down the stairs. Charlie noticed that Roier was limping a little and had marks and hickeys littered all over his neck, and Cellbit had some as well. Charlie's eyes widened as he pieced everything together and blushed slightly. Charlie and Cellbit locked eyes and Cellbit smirked while one of his hands snaked around Roiers waist.
Charlie looked back at his cereal and finished drinking the rest of the milk. He walked over to the sink and placed it in, where he realized that there were an awful lot of dishes to clean. He sighed and rolled up his sleeves and started to lather the dishes with soap and scrub gently. He could hear conversation in the other room where the two couples were. Charlie wondered what happened last night, as he was still trying to remember.
Then, a flashback hit him and he started to blush aggressively. He remembered how he tiredly hugged Mariana from behind and cuddled the taller. He wondered if Mariana liked it when it happened but it crossed his mind as he realized he was scrubbing the same plate for 10 minutes now. He shook his head and got focused to cleaning the dishes once again.
-------
Finally, he was near the end of cleaning the dishes and he sighed. He didn't hear anything besides him cleaning and the water splashing and didn't hear the footsteps nearing him. He was on his last dish, which was exceptionally difficult to clean as it looked weeks old. He grabbed the sponge and scrubbed gently but firmly.
Then, he felt a presence behind him before he felt a warm embrace, almost the same as when he woke up. He felt hands wrap around his waist and a head rest on his shoulders. He smelled the familiar scent of...him. He sighed and dropped the utensils and dish into the sink before leaning back into the body behind him.
"Good morning Mariana." Charlie looked back at Mariana who was now smiling widely. "Good morning cariño~" Mariana teased and hugged him. Charlie couldn't help but giggle at the surprising warm embrace. "Did I scare you?" Mariana looked at Charlie with genuine curiosity "No, but good try." Charlie taunted and got back to cleaning the final dish, resting it on the drying rack before washing and drying his hands.
Mariana however, didn't let go, almost like he was hooked to his body. Charlie tried to move Mariana's hands but failed and turned around to see Mariana smirking and still holding his waist. Charlie playfully pouted and crossed his arms, acting like a toddler. "Why do you still have your hands around me?" Mariana chuckled and pulled the smaller closer "Because this is payback for what you did yesterday, I'm sure you can remember querido."
Charlie blushed slightly but didn't halt his gaze. He stopped pouting and tried to fight his arms but fell defeated. Charlie thought for a little bit then smirked. Mariana cocked his head to the right as if in confusion and Charlie smiled wider. Charlie fell to his knees in front of Mariana and looked up suggestively. Marianas eyes widened and he closed his legs and moved out of the way defeated.
Charlie smirked and stood up. "You win..." Mariana covered his face which looked to redden up. Charlie's heart filled with glee as he skipped to the living room with happiness. Before he entered the room, he blew the taller a playful kiss and headed to where everyone was hanging out. He found a seat at a couch next to both of the couples.
He relaxed and stretched out his body with confidence as he listened into their conversations. Cellbit and Roier were speaking mixed English, Spanish, and Brazilian, but from the looks of it, they were definitely flirting. Alex was awake and was on Will's lap, practically straddling him. Charlie felt singled out and lonely but he didn't mind as his life hadn't been much different up to now.
Charlie began to zone out but suddenly felt a weight next to him and an arm wrap around him. He looked over and Mariana had sat down next to him and was looking at him with a kind smile. Charlie couldn't help but smile back. Mariana bend down to cup Charlie's face and whisper in his ear "You looked a little lonely, so I'm here to fix that mi vida"
Charlie shivered at the warmth of his breath and the deep Spanish in his ear. Charlie felt a little bit of a pulse in his pants but they were baggy enough that no one noticed but him. Mariana backed off and smirked a little, looking at Charlie's flustered face. Charlie felt his face heat up and he looked into Mariana's eyes with slight desire.
Charlie decided to flirt back by cupping the other's face while whispering "You're so sweet hermoso~" Charlie kept his hand cupped into Mariana's face as he saw the Mexican's face blush and felt it heat up. Mariana whispered "How did you know hermoso? Do you know Spanish Cariño?" Charlie giggled "I know a little, but not the names you've been calling me..."
Mariana chuckled "That's for a reason mi alma gemela~" his voice became deeper, almost like a growl, which made Charlie's cock twitch, which he hoped Mariana didn't notice. Charlie playfully hit Mariana and chuckled while the taller pulled Charlie closer. The American sighed and lied onto Mariana, getting more and more comfortable and relaxed as time goes by.
Charlie cupped Mariana's face and tugged his face to his level and brushed his hand into Mariana's silky hair. "Looking at everyone else, it's kinda weird seeing that everyone's all lovey dovey, I mean look at Cellbit and Roier, they definitely fucked." Charlie giggled into Mariana's ear and the taller wrapped his arm around the smaller boy.
Mariana looked at the couple Charlie was talking about and he saw the hickeys and marks that were on each others necks. Mariana chuckled "Do you think Alex and Will fucked?" Charlie giggled but brushed him off "Nah, but they have in the past I know that for sure." Marianas eyes widened as he looked at Charlie with a smug smirk on his face.
"Can you tell me the story querido?" Charlie chuckled but nodded and whispered once again "Well, last year..."
