The Mind Electric (A Chester X Parker fic)

Chapter 35: One of the Drunks

It was around 10 PM when Parker got another call from one of his old friends, they had invited him to another house party.

"I wanna come along this time..." Chester yawns, sitting up from the bed.

"Really? Or are you just saying that so I don't get pissed off at those drunk people again?" Parker mumbles, lazily going through his dresser to find decent clothes.

"Dude, I just want to go with you this time." Chester mutters, "I'm gonna be honest, waiting for you to get back was kinda boring."

"Well...if your sure you want to go...then at least make yourself look presentable." Parker sighs, staring at the other's dumbfounded expression.

"What? What's wrong with the stuff I have on right now?" Chester whines.

"A stained white tee and old basketball shorts really don't make you look all that stylish..." Parker laughs.

Chester looked offended, gasping at such rudeness coming from his lovely partner.

"Huh...is THAT why you rip them off of me every night?" Chester asks, leaning his head to the side all innocent like.

Parker chokes on his own spit, sending himself into a coughing fit. "W-WHOA!" He manages to hack out.

The drive there wasn't that long, it was actually only a few blocks away from their neighborhood.

There were only a few cars in the driveway, but that didn't mean not many people were there. They could already hear music blaring and neither of them have even gotten out of the car yet.

"Alright, just tell me when things get to be too much for you so we can leave, okay?" Parker smiles, leaning over to kiss the others forehead.

"Yeah...okay." Chester mumbles, gladly accepting the small kiss.

...
"Heyyyy! Great to see you again, man!" One guy yells just after the two of them step through the door.

"Hey, great to see you too, dude!" Parker waves, smiling.

Chester had no idea who any of these people were, so his main plan was to follow Parker around like a lost dog until it was time to go.

He got to introduce himself to a few people before hand though. Some of them seemed to be more intoxicated than others but...they all were decently nice!

Then....
It was like Jesus Christ himself entered the room...

"A CAT?!" Chester gasps, tugging at Parker's shirt to grab his attention.
"Huh? Oh, yeah! That's Fred, he's kinda introverted but...I'm sure you could give him a few pets." Parker smiles, his heart melting at Chester's excited expression as he slowly approached the cat.

Fred was just a normal tabby cat, but dang was he fat! He's got that Garfield level of chonk on him!

Chester slowly lowers himself down to Fred's level, reaching out his hand for the cat to smell him.

Fred sticks his neck out, sniffing Chester's shaking hand.
...
...
...
The judgement was complete.
Chester had permission to pet him.

He slowly placed his hand on top of Fred's head, petting him gently.

It only took a few moments for Fred to flop over onto his back, purring away.

"Awwww, your a pretty kitty, aren't ya?" Chester coos, rubbing Fred's fluffy belly. He must be the chosen one considering he hasn't been clawed to death yet.

Parker left Chester alone with the cat, most likely to go talk to a friend.
Chester didn't mind, he was happy about how things were turning out for him so far.
Fred had truly blessed his night.....

Then, things went downhill...rather quickly...

A girl suddenly entered the room, tripping over her feet as she walked. Chester heard the loud footsteps and turned his head.

The lady was about 5'7, had long blonde hair, green eyes....and her makeup was smeared all over her face. By Chester's guess, he'd say that maybe...just maybe...she was drunk out of her mind.

"Oh, heyyyy, your that one guyz...friend, right?" She slurs, leaning against a wall next to him.

"You mean Parker? Yeah, I'm that guy." Chester laughs, mostly out of discomfort. He's never been all that great when it comes to being around drunk people.

"Yeahhh! I hearddd you uhhh...haha, on the phone that one night! Dudeee...that was fucking hot." She giggles, stepping closer to Chester.

Chester felt his face heat up in embarrassment, how could he forget about that...? Oh god, how many people at this party knew about that?!

"I-Uhm...oh..." Chester mumbles anxiously, only just realizing that Fred walked off to go clean himself.

"You knowww...I would be down to hang with you, if you get what I'm saying..." The girl winks, biting her bottom lip.

"Huh? I uh...don't even know your name yet....hahaha..." Chester smiles awkwardly, quickly standing up to back away.

"A name doesn't matter when your with me..." The intoxicated girl purrs, stumbling closer to him.

Alright, he needed to get out of this room and find Parker...like, right now.

"Uh...it was nice meeting you, but...I should probably get going." Chester laughs nervously, making his way to the door.

His movement stops once the drunk lady clings onto his arm, pulling him closer to her.

"Oh, I'm not done with you....not yet..." She laughs, leaning in.

"UHHH, PLEASE...LET GO..." Chester yells, backing away while trying to wiggle his arm free from her grip.

"Stop resisting me-"
"I SAID LET GO!" Chester screams.

"HEY!!!"

Chester quickly turned his head to the door, suddenly feeling relief once he saw who's there.

"That's enough, let him go. Now." Parker snarls, grabbing onto Chester's other arm.

"Ughhh....I can NEVER have fun around here..." The drunk girl sighs, finally letting go of Chester's arm.

Parker leers at her for a minute before leading him out the room, and then out of the house completely.

His grip loosens once they step foot outside, thankfully.
"Chester, I'm so sorry man, I shouldn't have left you alone..." Parker quickly apologizes, grabbing the car keys from his coat pocket to unlock the doors.

"It's fine, really, it is!" Chester mumbles, kicking at the ground nervously.

"She didn't hurt you, did she?" Parker asks, looking back at him with a worried expression.

"What? No, dude, I said I'm fine. She was drunk and just...wanted to get with someone. All she did was grab my arm, that's it." Chester assures him, smiling sadly as he opens the car door.

Parker sighs, starting up the car engine.
"Alright...just making sure."
