It wasn’t typical for Kier to go to the bar, but today was one of his best friends birthdays so he had to go. It also wasn’t typical for him to get drunk, but again, today was an exception.
Him and Dev were supposed to stream tonight, but Kier didn’t wanna miss seeing his friends. So Dev just decided to stream himself, doing parkour and answering questions. It was already pretty late, almost about to be one in the morning, and Kier wasn’t home yet.
Dev had been streaming for about an hour, purplish circles forming under his eyes against his pale skin. He was tired, but wanted to make sure his boyfriend got home safely. His curls were a slight mess, and his voice was quiet and scratchy from the lack of sleep. Dev had his headphones on lazily while talking to chat and listening to some random playlist Boosfer had sent him a while ago.
He watched chat scroll by with a mix of emotes and questions. While fixing his headphones, Dev heard a slight creek from down the hall. He turned to look towards the door to find Kier holding himself against the door.
Kier’s hair was a complete mess, sticking out and against his face. His eyes were glossy, he had drooped eyelids, and his face had a stupid smug smile.
Dev smiled at the look of Kier, he could tell even from across the room that his boyfriend was absolutely not sober whatsoever. “Devvvv… I missed youuu!” Kier slurred, slowly stumbling over towards Dev’s desk. The smile on Dev’s face widened, “Hi.. i’m live by the way” he told kier who was still making his way slowly to Dev’s chair. “Hiiii chattt!” Kier shouted, falling onto Dev’s lap with no remorse. He put his hands around Dev’s shoulders, smiling brightly at him.
Dev gave a chuckle and moved his hands to Kier’s waist, rubbing circles. He glanced over at chat to see the hi’s fly by. Kier leaned in towards his neck and kissed it .
“Hi handsome” Kier whispered against his boyfriend's neck, the smell of alcohol lingered strongly against Kier’s mouth. Dev dismissed himself from chat and quickly muted. “Hi honey,” he replied —pushing Kier’s hair out of his face, and pecking his lips. “I’m so fucking lucky to be your boyfriend, ” Kier slurred, looking into Dev’s grayish-blue eyes.
“I’m so lucky to be yours too, my love” Dev said, pressing his lips back against Kier’s. Dev spoke softly towards his boyfriend, knowing he can be sensitive while drunk. Kier depended the kiss, holding on to Dev’s shirt tightly. He slowly separated from Dev, his eyes were glossy and he looked as if he were on the verge of tears.
Though Kier was on the verge of tears.
“Kier, what’s wrong baby?” Dev said softly, bringing his hand to cup Kiers face. Kier sniffled, tears rolling down his cheeks. “What did i do to deserve you Dev.. I love you so much, you’re so perfect. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted! I don’t deserve you Dev.” He spouts out, suddenly crying hard.
Dev’s heart aches for his boyfriend, the guy he’s been admiring since the first time he met him. The guy he couldn’t keep his eyes off of every time he saw him. The guy that made him smile every time. The guy that his best friends said he was obsessed with. The guy that his own brother said that he was a hopeless devotee to Kier.

Kier had just left Dev’s house. It was summer and they were going to college in a few months, so they spent a ton of time together. Though at the same time as this, Dev started to realize that anytime he saw Kier he felt weird.
Not in a bad way but in a confusing way — In a ‘crush’ way. Dev has liked boys before, he knew he was gay and he’s never denied it.
But he’s never felt this way towards his best friend.
Anytime they were around each other Dev couldn’t help himself from getting butterflies. Maybe it was his face, or the way he laughs, or his smile. But something about him made Dev go insane and he didn’t know why.
until his brother ganged up on him when Kier left that night.
“Dev, when are you going to admit to yourself you like him?” His brother asked him. Dev blinked, and stared at his brother unsure what to say. “Dude what..?” He said with an uncertain tone. “Clearly you're too stupid to realize you like him, you're a hopeless devotee Dev”.

“Kier baby, are you crazy?” He said wiping the tears away from Kier’s cheek. Kier looked at him with slight puppy eyes, “No..” he mumbled. Dev scoffed, and proceeded to slowly kiss Kier and attempt to calm him down. Kier moved into the kiss not wanting to let Dev go, scared that if he did he’d leave Kier.
“Kier I love you so much, I have loved you since I laid my eyes on you. I just never admitted it to myself” Dev said, staring into his lovers eyes. He pulled Kier into a tight hug, the smell of alcohol still lingering.
He knew Kier would get emotional, but he never thought he would say something like that.
Kier hugged him back, not wanting to let go once again. Resting his forehead on Dev’s shoulder still sniffling from crying beforehand. The couple sat in silence, Dev looked over back to his monitor and realized he was still live. He got so caught up with Kier he forgot he had dismissed himself about 10 minutes ago.
Somehow most of his chat was still there, talking amongst themselves. One of his mods dmed him asking if he was ok. He smiled at the thought of his loyal chat and decided to unmute. “Hey guys, sorry for taking so long but Kier isn’t feeling well so i’m going to end” he paused and kissed Kier behind his ear. “Bye chat, see you soon!” And with that, Dev ended the stream.
He sat back, looking at his boyfriend and rubbing his back. Kier was half asleep and was mumbling something that Dev couldn’t understand. He picked up his boyfriend and walked over to their shared bedroom.
Kier laid on top of Dev and they both slowly fell asleep in each other presence. Boyfriends that loved each other a crazy amount.
