Chapter Text
Going to parties wasn't really Eggs favourite past time but it was fun seeing everyone at one place, playing board games or just chatting away. Sometimes he did get a bit too used to only talking to Wemmbu for days at a time, forgetting how to interact with normal people.
Usually the parties he agrees to go to are dealt up in 2 parts, a chill start with snacks and light chatter, and then they bring out the alcohol and the people that want to go wild, goes wild. Drinking games, bear pong and whatever else they can come up with.
Egg stays close to the people he knows wont drink a lot, he doesn't like the feeling of being drunk and the annoying hangover to deal with the next day, too much of a hassle really. And he knows he's going to be the caregiver to Wemmbu.
He always gets wrapped up in like every single drinking game they play somehow. Every time he says it'll be different, that he wont drink that much this time, and every time they both know he's not going to follow through with that. And Egg as to carry his ass all the way back to their dorm.
Wemmbus a pretty loud drunk, energetic and chaotic. A pain in the ass to try and walk home, stumbling way more than necessary pulling Egg around with him. But he has this weird limit or weird line, that if he crosses he just turns into a completely different person. He gets all calm and quiet, but more importantly, flirty.
First time it happened Egg thought he was going insane, like that he'd somehow fall into an alternative universe where Wemmbu was like, he doesn't even know, in love with him? Attracted to him? His head hurt even trying to think about it.
Wemmbu was all over him giving him complements hes never even heard from Wemmbus mouth, calling him, calling him pet names and stuff. On the walk home they kept having to stop because Wemmbu would just hug him, but not like a normal hug. He'd press Egg as close as possible to him, squishing him against him. It took for ever to coach Wemmbu of him, and in the end he just played with Eggs hair for the rest of they way back.
And when they got back to their room he flopped himself right on top of Egg passed out immediately.
It was the weirdest thing ever, he never even thought stuff like this was for Wemmbu. The guy has always been pretty closed of when it came to stuff like romance, or attraction for that matter.
What made it even crazier, and made Egg feel like the universe was playing some huge prank on him, was the morning after. When he woke up Wemmbu was no longer fully on top of him and when Egg asked if he remembered what he did last night he swore up and down that he didn't.
Egg though it was just a one time thing and that he was probably embarrassed and drunk out of it mind so he'd drop it. It wont happen again he thought.
And then it happened again, and again, and again. So many times he's lost count. After the like 5th time he just kind of gave up on making it make sense. He never remembers anything and nothing crazier than some drunken words and too tight hugs will happen, so really it wasn't that big of a deal.
When it got to the point where he lost count, he kinda wanted more to happen.
Outside of the parties, just in their rooms or walk to class he'd think about the words Wemmbu would call him, the lingering touches where bros don't just touch. They'd burn with need, need for more, the need for it to be real.
So he'd let Wemmbu do his thing at night, letting himself enjoy the intimacy that never leaves this drunken bubble. He'd stop him if it got too far, not wanting to take advantage of a drunk Wemmbu, who probably doesn't even know what he's doing. in the morning he'd try to forget it ever happened. He'd fail miserably now.
Tonight is no different.
It started of as it normally does, a chill board game and some catching up with randoms and then it slowly went over to a more crazy night for most of them. Egg as usual, stayed on the couch with the other people that didn't really drink, But throughout the night they'd slowly dwindle out.
Egg had to stay, waiting anxiously to see if this one was going to be one of those nights for Wemmbu. He could never figure out if he was excited for it to happen or if he'd rather want the normal night.
But after every normal night he was left with a disappointed feeling following him for too long.
It was starting to get quite late so he'd get up off the couch to find Wemmbu so they could go home. It looks like it'll be one of the normal nights, the disappointment slowly seeping into him as he walks.
He turns the corner to a less populated hallway, debating if he should start looking upstairs or in the basement first when two hands grabbing his waist startles him, making him jump. A laugh he's heard a million times before follows. Wemmbu turns him around so his back is lightly against the wall. Keeping his hands holding his waist, thumps caressing over his shirt there.
The disappointment quickly leaving him. Egg lets his head fall against the wall breathing out a sigh of relief, a smile slowly forming.
"Found you" Wemmbu whispers moving himself closer to Egg, squeezing his waist as he does. It makes Egg squirm where he's standing. Wemmbu pulls him slightly closer to him while slowly lowering his head to Eggs shoulder.
"Where were you?" He slurs hot breath going right against Eggs cold skin, he shivers. He moves his hands up to hold into Wemmbus shoulders, never knowing what to do with his hands when they get like this.
In the beginning having Wemmbu this quiet was the weirdest part. Everything Wemmbu does is loud and over-exaggerated, but here, late at night, he lowly whispers in his ear, making him tremble against him.
"Looking for you bro, you alright?" He asks keeping the same low voice Wemmbu used for him. Voice going a bit shaky as Wemmbus head slowly moves closer to his naked skin, Wemmbu just hums against his skin, giving it a light kiss.
Egg hands immediately shoot up to move his head away, face red as it can be. That's too far for what he's comfortable going with Wemmbu this drunk. Wemmbu chuckled as he lets his head be pushed away, staring at him lopsidedly.
One hand moved from Egg waist, he feels the coldness immediately, and up to hold Eggs hand against his cheek.
"You're pretty" He says while moving to lightly kiss his wrist Eggs free hand moves up to cover Wemmbus face fully, he feels his giggle against his palm.
"No kissing bro, not when your this drunk" Egg reminds, even though he knows Wemmbu doesn't remember, and he knows he wont be following that for long. A dragged out 'Awww' falls from Wemmbu. Egg hand falls back to lightly rest on his shoulder.
"But you look so cute" He laughs "So cute" He's smiling like an idiot, or maybe he just looks like one drunk.
"You've said that bro" Egg says, letting Wemmbu keep his hand on his face, letting himself move his thump across his cheekbone.
Wemmbu leans into the touch squeezing his waist a bit "Like a kitten, my kitten"
"Okay! That's enough for tonight" Egg ducks his head to the side feeling his blush get so strong he can feel the heat at his neck and ears. That nickname always sends him into a spiral.
He wiggles out of Wemmbus grabs, who like normal lets him. He pulls his arm over his shoulder and starts the walk back to their dorm.
Wemmbu, like normal, puts all his weight into Egg pushing himself as close as he can get to him. Bastard.
"You don't like being my kitten?" He asks all innocently, like he has no clue what he's doing to Egg, he probably doesn't.
"Shut up bro" This just makes Wemmbu laugh, but he does shut up, for a bit. He starts rambling about random stuff, just drunken rambles Egg can't even understand half of it but it makes it easier to get them home so he's not complaining.
When they finally make it in their room Egg helps him get his shoes off and into more comfortable clothes, and as he goes to lay down Wemmbu pulls him flush against his chest.
"You are mine though right?" He whispers right next to his ear sending shivers through Egg whole body.
"Bro come'on the beds right there" He says, trying to wiggle out of his grasp but Wemmbus holding him tightly, nuzzling his head against his hair.
Eggs learnt over the times this has happened that he'd only be let go if he says yes, doesn't make it any less embarrassing. He's so glad that Wemmbu doesn't remember this part. No matter how much he wants him too, this is just too embarrassing for Egg.
"You're my kitten?" He giggles against his naked skin, making him tremble where he's standing.
"Yea- yes bro" he stutters back feeling the vibration of Wemmbus hum of approval against the crease of his neck and shoulder "Good" he smiles.
When he can finally lay down to get some form of sleep, Wemmbu isn't far behind. Pulling him right back against his chest, spooning him. Egg knows this will be the best sleep he'll get in a while, so he lets himself enjoy the heat for a moment, and then let sleep take him.
When he wakes up Wemmbu is still pressed against him, but its light enough that he can wiggle out. He lets himself have a moment longer before he gets up to go get painkiller and water for him. Enjoying the heat and intimacy, chest feeling all nice and light.
When he gets up he sits at the edge of the bed for a bit, just watching the peaceful expression Wemmbu has in his sleep, admiring him.
When he gets the bathroom he starts rummaging through the cabinet for painkiller, not soon after he hears a painful groan from their room. He hurries with finding the stuff.
He comes back and presses the cold ass water bottle right against Wemmbus neck, startling him. He giggles as he hands over the painkillers.
"Brooo. What the fuck" He whines but when he sees the painkiller he smiles "My saviour, my heads killing me"
"Yea brother, you drank way too much, like always." He doesn't even try to prod if he remembers anything, knowing the answer will be no, like always.
Wemmbu just whines, shushing him. He chugs the water, popping the pills and pulls the cover over his head to shield the brightness of the room. Egg quietly laugh at him, sitting at his desk to get some work done.
The day goes by like that, calm, and quiet. Egg tries to get all of last night out of his head, ignoring the emptiness he feels where Wemmbu held him, just focusing on his work. It's become like second nature to him by now.
It's only hours later that Wemmbu comes out of his little hermit hole, asking Egg to turn off the light so they can watch a movie together.
As they sit next to each other watching a movie Egg really care much for, he's just happy to be doing something more normal with Wemmbu. These back and forth with the drunks nights can sometimes really mess with his head, and he has to work had to really remember that he's only doing this because he's drunk.
That it wont happen sober no matter how much he wants it too, but that doesn't mean that can't have nights like these. They fall asleep like that after another movie, not spooning but laying next to each other, under the same covers
The next morning they both have classes to go to. Wemmbus mostly gotten over his hungover but his energy is still lower than normal. So when they get ready and leave, it happens quietly with minimal chitchat. He knows Wemmbu got a couple of essays to do soon, so he wont see him for a while.
When Egg gets back to his room he gets comfortable studying away until late in day, some nice music, snacks and endless books and essays to write, really the dream night..
He's locked into his reading and note taking when he gets startled out of his mind, the door slamming open so hard it hits the wall with a bang, Egg turns around at lightning speed to see what the fuck is going on. Wemmbu basically falls through the door, slamming it shut again, looking frantic as fuck.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry! Holy shit I'm so sorry!" Apologies continue to fall from him, Egg having no fucking clue whats going on. He tries to get a good look at Wemmbu he wont stand still pacing around him.
"Bro, dude, brother slow down, what happened?" He questions making Wemmbu stop in his tracks, he slumps down like a defeated man on his bed, handing Egg his phone mumbling more apologies as he does so.
Egg takes it hesitantly, but when he looks down he sees whats going on. Someone had taken pictures of them the other night, very clearly seeing Egg trying to push Wemmbus head away from him. Not catching the smile on Egg face or the giggles that fell from him at the action.
From an outsiders point of view he looks very uncomfortable, like he doesn't want it. Egg doesn't know what to say, looking through multiple very blurry pictures and one very shaky video.
"I swear bro I don't know what compelled me to do that, i swear ill never do it again, ill stop drinking forever-" Wemmbu continues to ramble, more apologies and guilt falls from him, but all Egg can focus on is that one sentence, 'it'll never happen again'. He can't have that
The intimate touches, the quiet whispered giggles and the cuddles at night. All of that gone now.
"No bro, come'on it's- it's fine really" He says, trying to make Wemmbu see that this situation really isn't that big a deal, that this can continue, that this doesn't have to be the end.
"Brother what do you mean? Are you seeing that! I totally took advantage of you- Oh my god I took advantage of you, bro holy shit I am so sorry" Wemmbu hides his face in his hands, body slumped on the bed.
Egg can't continue watching this scene, its just sad. And he really can't let Wemmbu believe that he was the one in the wrong here, but he feels frozen in his body. If he tells Wemmbu that he really didn't take advantage of him, that he actually liked it, he'd be so weirded out. But he can't live with himself if he lets Wemmbu believe he's done something so wrong here.
"Bro. i- it's alright, I- You- you didn't take advantage of anything, if anything i did! I- I really liked it, so if anything you should be mad at me!" He ends trying and hoping that that'll make Wemmbu feel better and not just worse. That it'll make him see that this really isn't that big a deal and that they can go back to how it was before, nothing has to change.
"Brother, you don't have to try and make this better the pictures show loud and clear you didn't" Egg can't stand this, he gets up from his chair and sits next to Wemmbu on the bed. He shoves the phone back to Wemmbu.
"Dude the pictures are blurry as hell, believe me i- i liked it! Like yea the first time was a bit weird-"
"The first time! There's more!?" Wemmbu interrupts him, face red, eyes wide. Egg shuts him up by covering his mouth with his hands.
"Yes, yea but! It was fine! A bit weird but over time I- I really started to look forward too it. Not to support you alcoholism or anything" He tried to lighten the mood smiling at Wemmbu. He slowly lets his hands fall from Wemmbus face.
"I kinda figured out I really didn't mind y'know, and i didn't wanna bring it up cuz you never remembered anything, so I thought it was best to just leave it. I am really sorry I didn't bro I never wanted you to think you were talking advantage of me or anything" He takes a deep breath, everything out on the table now. He almost feels lighter, if it wasn't for the extreme anxiety looming over him.
He sees the cogs turning in Wemmbus head. His eyes going back n forth from the phone to Egg.
"You liked it? You liked that?" He points to one of the pictures where they're fully flushed together, Wemmbu holding his hand softly to his cheek. "You like me? Like that?" He then questions, making Egg sputter on the spot, not expecting that at all.
"I- I mean yea? But you really don't have to worry-" He tried to defend himself, to save the situation but he gets interrupted by Wemmbu laughing. Not just a quiet little laugh, but one of his full blown sound breaking laughs. He's so confused.
Wemmbu rests his head against his shoulder, trying, and failing to calm down his laughter. Egg can't help but join in softly with confused giggles, placing a hand over his back.
"Oh my god bro, I've literately been in love with you since the beginning"
"WHAT" Egg screeches pulling Wemmbu back from his shoulder with both hands, Wemmbu just continues to giggle. "Brother! Why didn't you say anything!"
"I didn't want to make you uncomfortable bro, but I guess my drunk ass mind didn't care" He smiles.
"So you're saying, we could've avoided all of this if you just confessed years ago?" Egg teases with a slight seriousness to it, they really could've avoided so much self doubt and emotional exhaustion, if Wemmbu had just confessed long ago.
"Would you even had said yes if I asked bro?" He questions, which fair. He probably wouldn't have.
"I would have gotten there bro, I am always right behind you aren't I?" He smiles tilting his head at Wemmbu, slight blush covering his face. He moves one hand from his shoulder up to hold his cheek, so nice to finally be the one to do it.
Wemmbu leans into the touch, smiling widely back at him. His hands fall to his waist, the position feeling very familiar.
Wemmbu leans in slowly making sure they're on the same page, Egg just giggles and closes the gap. Finally allowing their lips to touch.
It's everything and more than he ever imagined, a sigh leaves the both of them pressing themselves closer to each other. Wemmbus lips are as soft as they look, moving so nicely against his own, they fit together perfectly, like they really were made for each other. Maybe they were.
When they pull apart Wemmbu looks at him with such an intense look, like he hung the stars, it makes his chest flutter. Wemmbu stats kissing all over his face, the corner of his mouth, his cheek, his eyelid.
They're both giggling feeling the euphoria of finally having each other the way they've been dreaming off so long and finally something they'll both remember in the morning.
