Affection in All the Right Places,

The Pre-Game

All of this could have been avoided you think to yourself.

The strobing purple and red lights were almost ethereal in comparison to the alcoholic concoction that you created for yourself.

Nick or better known as Sapnap, had invited you out for a "get together" at a small rented Orlando beach house.

The parties around Florida almost always were rented homes and mansions, used for clout.

The gathering, according to Sapnap, was basically just a few big Youtubers, their friends and their friend's friends, which isn't a lot compared to some parties around there.

You thought it would be fun, and it was, before your alcohol driven reality was sapped and you had woken up with your best friend, Sapnap, lying next to you.

Now, this situation was one that was extremely awkward and heartbreaking, you had assumed if you both ended up doing anything, it would be sweet or solemn.

But an alcohol driven spark seemed melancholic.

Now how did this all go down? In your head, you believe you don't remember a thing, when really, you prefer not to remember.

It all started with two small Fireball shots and a mutual attraction between friends.

—

You sat alone in your apartment, the mellow Florida air was seeping in from every corner of the room.

You almost called it a night, your clothes were comfy and your bed called to you, only before your phone began buzzing.

It was Nick or as he preferred to be called, Sapnap.

Your phone buzzed in your hand, it was a FaceTime call.

You had smiled to yourself and let the phone buzz for a few more moments before answering it.

His smiling face took over your screen, he looked to be driving.

You frowned and you began to scold, "Hey you shouldn't be face-timing and driving you idiot!"

Sapnap's smile just grew higher and teased, "Hey, I'm a great driver, and I picked up your alcohol.. You'll be hyped"

You rolled your eyes, "Hmm, ignoring your literal illegal call right now, nothing you buy can really surprise me."

You could hear Sapnap's chest rumble, "Ha! You're funny, just wait until I get there. I'll be there maybe 25-30 minutes."

Your phone screen that was holding Sapnap's face in your grasp, zipped away and left you on your lock screen.

You sat for a moment just smiling, you had 30 minutes to get ready and 30 minutes to listen to music, so why not.

You basically sprinted to your room, straight to your closet you pull a short black dress and encrusted heels, you had sadly hoped they would stay on for the night.

When the outfit was on and stunning, you began on makeup.

You decided to play shuffle, let the music decide your energy for the night.

One song came on that felt so familiar

Affection by BETWEEN FRIENDS

This song, you thought, is how your night should go.

-

You've readied yourself as much as possible, a small black purse was also on your side, containing 150$, a phone charger and an eyelash curler, the essentials.

Sapnap was already in the building at this point but the elevator loved to take its time.

You started hurrying to tidy things, though you could only guess why. It's not like Sapnap hasn't seen you in a baggy worn t-shirt with holes and old sweatpants with throw up in the toilet in front of you after a rough night out.

But you still wanted your apartment to be tidy, whether it was for him or you, you honestly could not tell.

In the middle of your rapid organization, you heard struggled knocking and a slide on the door.

You ran to get the door, realizing Sapnap was surely carrying a surplus of alcohol.

The moment the door latch opened, Sapnap stood in front of you with two white bags full of alcohol and Sex on the Beach shots hanging from his teeth.

You laughed at his struggle until you realized those bags were surely heavy, you rushed to grab a white bag from his hand.

Sapnap used his free hand to take the shots away from his mouth, "Wow, took you a minute,"

You giggled before putting your bag on a near-by counter, "Hey, I didn't know you brought the liquor store with you, other wise I'd have brought a semi-truck smart ass.."

Sapnap smiled and gestured to the bag you were pawing through, "That one's yours, honestly you should be grateful,"

Your bag contained; A quart of Pink Whitney, two bottles of Four Loko Pregames, 8 cans of Palm Bay and a small Fireball shot.

Speaking of grateful you rushed to bring the money out of your purse to pay him back, only before he began to smirk, "Hey! I wanted you to come out, the alcohol's my treat!"

You kept digging through your purse, "No idiot, you are pretty much buying me everything tonight so take my money,"

Sapnap lazily strode towards you and lifted your hands from your purse and handed you a small bottle size shot of Fireball.

He chided, "No, no, this will pay me back,"

You looked at him confusedly, "The.. shot??"

Sapnap pulled one of his own from his bag and showed the matching shots, he chuckled, "Race me! If I win you'll pay taxi, if you win I'll cover taxi."

You rolled your eyes and snapped open the small cinnamon whiskey bottle, "Oh shut yourself up, you know I'm paying taxi,"

Sapnap grinned, "Not if you win hon,"

You matched his grin with raised eyebrows.

"1
    2
       3
            Go!"

You both knocked your heads back, and with that, Sapnap was paying taxi and was also a beginning to a fun but melancholic night.

We're drinkin' 'cause we're bored

-

You both stood outside your apartment waiting for the taxi Sapnap stubbornly called.

The whiskey was already making you warm and Sapnap was saying the same thing.

The night was so warm when you looked to him, "So, any of our friends going "

Sapnap shrugged, "Um, I'm not sure, I was invited by one of Jimmy's friends and he said I could bring someone.. So I brought you."

You smiled to yourself and looked at the distant taxi coming, "Aw, you're making me blush. Sapnap needed a pretty girl to accompany him to his lil' party?"

Sapnap scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, you're right so we should find a pretty girl to accompany us soon."

You howled with laughter and nudged Sapnap's shoulder, his chest humming with deep laughter.

And we'll keep falling on each other to fill the empty spaces,

The song you had played earlier, was ringing in your head, and right now it sang true.
