josh just laughed as he gave aaron’s back a pat as he walked away, turning to make the drinks. it was a fairly simple task really, he’d done it many times before, so he was able to zone out a bit and listen to aaron flipping through the channels. once he was done he moved over to the couch and handed one to the other before plopping down and letting him snuggle him. “ okay, okay, fine, but only because it’s you. ” josh replied with a grin, pointing at him before taking a sip. he hummed a bit, shaking his head. “ nah, i’m fine. ” really, he was still recovering from running into cher earlier in the week, but he couldn’t focus on that – right now he was supposed to be helping aaron. at his next comment, josh couldn’t help but laugh; he shouldn’t have been surprised. “ good to know you can’t wait on a buddy to do shots with you. ”

“DON’T LIE TO me, josh lucas. i can see the storm a brewin’ in those big grey eyes of yours...but fine.” aaron chuckled, scrunching down to rest his head on josh’s shoulder, hazel eyes peered up. “oy, i tried. but i could not come here and be sad. because if i’m sad, then you are sad and then i don’t get to see you smile.” aaron huffed, sucking on the bottom of his lip. “and it’s a very nice smile and i like it a lot. so do you want to lecture me or are we both going to cry at this movie and never tell a soul?” a hand moved to squish josh’s cheeks, a childlike giggle leaving his lips as he mimicked him, taking a swig of his drink.

AARON STARED LONGINGLY at the glass, hand leaving an imprint as he pulled away. he found himself coming to the zoo more often, the otters always made him feel better. plus, if he was lucky he might be able to catch cady on her break and hang out with her. and if not he always had her coworker don to talk to. which is what ended up happening most of the time because cady was busy and aaron felt bad bothering her at work. don passed by, a smile on his face as he stopped. “pains me to see you lurking here again bud. go home.” a hand was placed on aaron’s shoulder as he nodded, mouth turning up as he stood. aaron had been packing the same thing the last couple of weeks to bring cady on the off chance she’d end up wandering around. her favorite sandwich, two yoohoos, and a pomegranate for them to share and spit seeds at the trash can. the seeds had a dual purpose because they could feed the pigeons that wandered around the zoo. with a nod to don, he turned and ran right into someone. well, rather they ran into him. “oh my god are you okay? did you- oh. cady. hi.” @sheroxrs

HIS WORK BUDDIES AT THE record shop usually went to grab drinks after closing up shop, he’d gotten here early only for them to bail, and when he was planning on leaving…he ran into viola. she wasn’t awful company, having known her for a while from sebastian, it didn’t hurt to grab a few drinks with her, right? cliff felt the warmth in his body from the handful of shots they had, impressed at her ability to keep up with him, he chuckled a bit as she begged from him to join her on the dance floor. “i don’t know viola, have you seen my moves? they are pretty top-notch.” cliff teased, watching and then eventually caving whenever she lured him with the promise of more drinks. “fine, fine, i’ll dance with you.” he said with a roll of his eyes, the dance floor becoming crowded as the popular song began to play through the speakers, feeling the way she was tugging him in closer. “never said you were gross, for the record.” cliff explained with a smirk, looking over her face before his hands found her waist, head lulling to the side as he moved in time to the music. nothing fancy, but not too horrible due to his love for music giving him some sort of rhythm luckily.

THE SQUEAL THAT left vi was very un-viola like. but she was excited to see him dance, and dance with him. his hands found her waist as he explained she wasn’t gross. a snort left her body accompanied with a chuckle. “sure, sure. all of seb’s friends see me as their weird little sister.” it was a truth she’d become comfortable with, even if cliff had never shared the same sentiment publicly. but now wasn’t time for her insecurities. it was time to dance, her body feeling his move as hers reacted. her hand snaked down the back of his neck as she stared up into those chocolate eyes of his. drunken gaze taking in the seemingly perfectly sculpted human in front of her. “how have i never noticed how pretty you are...?” the words slipped from her rosy lips as they quickly formed a shocked ‘o’. “i’m...sorry that...well no i’m not sorry for saying it it’s true but...that was out of line.” cheeks pinkening with embarassment. this is why she didn’t get drunk around boys anymore.

how viola ended up drunk at a bar with her brother’s bandmate was beyond her. it wasn’t like she and cliff hadn’t hung out before but this time felt...different somehow. the club was full of loud music, bass drumming in her ears. the bodies of strangers pressed against her, her own buzz drowning out the woman’s distrust of other’s. and then her hands found cliff, a bright smile on her lips as she pulled him back onto the floor. “c’mon, i didn’t come out to grind against strangers.” vi slurred, bare skin rubbing against her friend’s arm, hoping he picked up on her implications. “you dance with me and i’ve got your next two drinks.” demi lovato began playing in the background, and viola gave cliff a look, demure smile splaying against her delicate features. sure, she could be stepping out of bounds here but if cliff didn’t object she wouldn’t either. fingers played with the curls at the base of his neck as she pulled her friend in closer. “i’m not that gross, now am i cliff?” a playful pout disrupting the perfectly glossed lips.

when he got the text from aaron, josh knew it was a bro’s night. they had an… arrangement these days when it came to their exes – get together and do whatever it took to get them feeling better. so he’d immediately started putting his studying stuff away, getting ready for the other to arrive. and when he did, josh greeted him with a grin and a hug right back, laughing a little. “ hey man. ” he greeted, patting his back a bit before nodding. “ absolutely. you go pick one, i’m gonna make us those alcoholic root beer floats you were so pumped for. ”

“you are my hero.” the taller man mumbled, letting go of his friend before hopping off to turn the television, flicking through movies on the screen. something soft and cute? a rom com? maybe a sports flick for boy’s night? his body started tingling as he suddenly remembered the shots he took before arriving. in hindsight he should have waited for josh but...impulse control was never aaron’s strong suit. he turned to watch his friend make the drinks for them before finally landing on a movie. “okay. found one. we’re watching the notebook. no fighting it.” there was a soft giggle following his words as he moved to grab a drink from josh and plop back down on the couch. the young man snuggling in and getting comfortable as he glanced over. “how’re you doing though? anything i can do if you’re not feeling well?” aaron breathed through his nose, the warmth from the alcohol spreading through his body. he needed to be careful, he wasn’t much of a drinker and a bit of a lightweight. “also fair warning: i did take some shots earlier.”

aaron didn’t let things get to him often. in fact, nearly nothing bothered him. but hearing cady talk about someone else taking her on a date got him...flustered. he knew he had no place to interject, seeing as he was the one that ended things between them. so here he was, alcohol, snacks and ice cream in hand at josh’s door. opening it, he swung the man’s front door open open with his signature bright smile. “here’s johnny!” the brunette giggled, placing the bag on the counter before running over to josh and pulling him into a hug, head resting ontop of the other’s. “mm...hi.” aaron nuzzled into the other brunette’s locks before pulling back. “can we watch movies and cuddle?” bottom lip jutting out, the six foot four man looked like a child, puppy dog eyes wide. @prttyvnm
