"Can I kiss you?"
Percy thought he didn't hear well at first. Remember Percy, he's drunk.
"What?"
Oliver swallowed a lump that started forming in his throat.
"I said, can I kiss you?", he said, moving forward ever so slightly while waiting for Percy's answer.
Percy had freezed in shock for a second, before remembering what state Oliver was in.
"Ollie, no. You're drunk; I can't take advantage of you like that.", he half-heartedly said. No matter how much he wanted it, he kept reminding himself that Oliver was not in control of himself at the moment.
"You will not take advantage of me if I want it."
"Oliver, please stop. You're wasted. You will probably not even remember what you're saying right now in the morning.", Percy told Oliver looking at him seriously.
"I... Alright."
Silence fell in the room for a few seconds before Oliver spoke again.
"Can you... Can you do me a favour?"
"What is it?"
"Can you sleep here tonight? I don't-", Oliver took a moment to form a sentence that would actually make sense. "I don't mean sleep as in 'sleep with me'... Well, that is kind of what I- I'm just saying, can you stay here for tonight?"
Percy looked thoughtful for a moment. "You will not ask me to kiss you again while you're drunk, will you?"
"No, I- I promise. Just stay for tonight, please."
Percy put on a defeated expression and sighed.
"Alright... After all those years I still can't say no to you and your puppy eyes, can I?"
Oliver's mouth broke into a big grin as he moved to lie down on the bed, letting some free space for Percy. For a second Percy thought of changing into his pyjamas, but who cared? He was too tired to do anything else and they could just wash the sheets the next day anyway. Once he had lied down too, Oliver whispered: "Perce..."
"Yeah?", he replied sleepily.
"Can I hug you?"
" ...I get there's no harm in that, is there?"

Another chapter finished! Okay, so, I wrote this in like, ten to fifteen minutes? And it feels so good to have ideas and have to write fast and in a lot of chapters to fit all of them in after a few-month-long writing block.
Also, dear fellow wattpad writers, please take notes on how consent and communication work. A great way to understand how communication and consent work, except for just simply thinking, is to read heartstopper! Please. I've read enough stories where not asking for consent and miscommunication are so romanticised and I despise it. Please just stop doing that.
That's all I had to say, so, I hope you liked this chapter. Don't forget to leave a comment with your opinion, and if you did like it, please consider liking; I would really appreciate it. No pressure, though!
Anyways, see you all next time!
