kyle pov
kyle was sitting in his bed , blanket neatly over his lap with his laptop on top of him , warmed slightly from use . all he was really up to nowadays was checking his grades periodically or aimlessly scrolling ... quite a life I guess . I mean it could be worse - I could be butters or something who thinks cartman genuinely wants to be his friend (he just thinks its funny how butters agrees with everything he says) but I'll be honest , things have been incredibly slow lately .
I mean come on - kenny is too poor to do anything fun and I can't name a time in the last 2 weeks I've seen stan entirely sober , its seriously starting to get concerning .
kyle looks at the time , 12:00am - at least its not a school night he sighed , closing his laptop and leaning back in his bed for a few moments ... and then
beep , a notification - genuinely *who* was texting him at this hour , and right as he laid down too ? he reaches over and grabs his phone , turning on the screen to see a message from stan - he clicks it .

kyle sighed , slamming his phone face down onto his bedside table and staring up at the celling . nowadays stan only comes over when he's super drunk - to be fair though when is he not ?
*donk* a pebble hitting his window , he gets up and opens it.
" hi stan " kyle says , looking down at stan - disappointment in his gaze .
kyle helps drag stan into his room , stan fall-leaning onto him .
" okay what did you want stan " kyle says bitterly , this has happened one too many times .
" i missed you kyylleee " stan said , his speech slurring slightly .
" did you really ? or are you just drunk and bored ? " kyle says , rolling his eyes .
" yeas .. i did i luv you kyallee " stan said , leaning onto him as they sat down .
" no you dont bro you're just extremely drunk , im gonna get you some water " kyle says , sitting up and walking off to the kitchen
kyle steps into the kitchen , its mildly colder compared to his room - he grabs a glass out of the cupboard and then filled it with tap water .
he shouldn't have to keep doing this , he doesn't even get why stan started drinking in the first place - he genuinely was doing fine till then .
he walked back down the hallway and into his room , gently closing the door behind him .
" okay dude , I got you some water " kyle said , stepping closer to stan and handing him it - making sure he had fully grabbed it before he fully put the weight of it into his hands .
" thanks " stan said tiredly , taking a sip .
" why do you only hang out me when you're drunk . " kyle blurted out , he hadn't entirely mean't to say that .
stan turned to kyle , some sympathy notable behind his glassy , bloodshot eyes .
" becauseee I wanna ... I'm sorry i drunk so much again I promise ill stop " stan promised with slurring words .
he knew he would do it again , stan always did . he hated these empty promises so much - i wish stan wasn't so drunk so he could genuinely comprehend how I feel .
" you always say that .. " kyle muttered irritability , fidgeting with one of his curls .
" im sawrry kyyyllle , I luv yah goonight " stan said , laying down in Kyle's bed .
" no you dont stan genuinely stop saying that . " kyle said , standing up to go sleep on the couch
" yeas I do ? " stan said
" then say it when you're sober . "
