Work Text:
Coy has been away from home for 3 weeks and all Anthony could think about was him.
After Bon found him at the party, Anthony told her everything that happened. Of course she was concerned for both her friends so she texted Will to go find Coy, while she comforted Anthony. Coy has been staying at a friend’s house, is what Anthony understood from Will. Most of the time, he was in his room, but when he did come out of his room, he would always feel his friend’s concerned gazes. He hated this. He hated the pity. He hated that he drove Coy away. All he did nowadays was listen to music and stay on his phone. He found a song that reminded him of Coy, and since then that is his favourite song. He listens to it day and night.
That is what he’s doing right now. He’s also scrolling through the board that Coy made of himself. He couldn’t bring himself to delete it. He was so focused on the photos of the boy he loved that he didn’t hear the knocks at his door. He didn’t notice until the door opened and revealed Will.
“This song again? Man you need to find other songs. Don’t you get tired of this one?”
“What do you want? Because I can tell you didn’t come up here just to shit on my music taste.”
“Sadly you are correct, I did come here to tell you something else, and that is that me and Bon will go out, and you’ve been glued to your bedroom, so you’re coming with us as well.”
“You know what? I’m not gonna fight against it.”
“Also you might wanna get ready fast because we kinda need to leave the house soon.”
“AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO TELL ME?”
“I didn’t think you’d agree!”
“WELL WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE? GET OUT, I NEED TO CHANGE!”
After Will left and Anthony got Dressed they went out the door. Will was driving today so he drink all he wanted. Speaking about that, God did a drink sound amazing right now to him. In the car Will and Bon were singing along to some music on the radio. Anthony was thinking about Coy. What would he be doing if he was in the car with them? What would he say? What IS he doing right now?
He didn’t dwell on the subject, because the party was being held rather close to them, and they had just arrived. During the party Anthony stuck to his friends, drank, a bit too much for someone who took a break from drinking, and danced. At one point Bon asked Anthony to gather her a drink, and of course he happily obliged. He was way happier when drunk. After he got the drink from the kitchen, he went back to the spot where he departed from his friends. They weren’t there. His phone buzzed.
Will: Sorry man, we had to go early
Will: Bon drank too much and threw up
Will: Do you need me to pick you up later?
Ant: no its okagi
Ant: ill fibd soneobe to go hone wirf
Shit, his stomach hurt. He needed to find a bathroom. After he did, and threw up, he thought that he needed to get home somehow, but he didn’t want to bother Will. He was probably asleep already. So he immediately thought about someone else with a fucked up sleep schedule. He didn’t even think twice before texting said person.
Ant: pleacs picj me up
He got a response almost immediately.
Coy: Are you drunk?
Ant: very
Coy: Omw
Coy must have driven very fast because like 10 seconds later Anthony saw him walking through the door.
“Coy!” Anthony waved. Coy walked straight to him and dragged him out.
“Did you come to this party alone?”
“No, Bon and Will came too, but they left early” Anthony slurred his words.
“Why the fuck would they leave you alone? Are they stupid?”
“Hey! Don’t say that! They’re our friends!”
“I know..” he paused for a second “why did they leave early?”
“Bon threw up. I was getting a drink so I wasn’t there when they left.”
Coy analysed him for a moment before saying:
“You threw up too, didn’t you?”
“Maybe?” They finally arrived at the car and they off on the road they go. It was silent to Anthony decided to fill in the silence. He looked at Coy to find a subject to talk to him about.
“Have you got colour in your cheeks?”
“What?” Coy thought that Anthony was trying to say a joke, but after throwing a quick glance towards Anthony’s direction, he realised it wasn’t. “Um yes, I guess. Why?”
“Have you no idea that you’re in deep?”
“What do you me-“
“I’ve dreamt about you nearly every night this week” Anthony was full on staring at Coy while saying all this.
Coy was slightly blushing, before realising that Anthony was just drunk.
“Anthony you’re drunk”
“There’s this tune that I found” Coy towards Anthony’s side, wanting to know why he stopped talking. Anthony was contemplating whether he should or shouldn’t continue. He decided that he should. “That makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat, till I fall asleep.”
Okay, now there was no way that he could get that imaginative in such a short time, he was starting to believe that they were actually Anthony’s thoughts.
“Have you ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few? Cause I always do.”
“I’m crawling back to you” Coy muttered under his breath. Anthony being so close to him, of course heard that. But just as he was about to lean in and kiss Coy, the car stopped.
“Oh! We’re home.”
“Coy-“
“Don’t. You’re drunk. If you really meant what you said, you’ll have to say it to me while sober.”
“Okay, I Will!” Anthony leaned in and gave Coy a kiss on his cheek. Tomorrow, maybe he could get a real kiss. After that he got out of the car, leaving a flustered Coy behind.
