Stuck in the Middle (An Eddievr, Mully, and Juicy Fanfic)

Chapter 8: Drinks

A/N: Mentions of alcohol and slight smut halfway through. Just a heads up and enjoy

Eddie's POV
"Two beers and shots please."
Mully glanced over at me as the bartender took his order, but I wasn't looking at him directly. I still felt guilty for what I did to Gaege. It was a jerk move on my end, and I shouldn't have pressured him like that. Especially since he was a lot younger than me. I didn't want him to think I was manipulating him either.
"Hey, are you okay?" Mully placed his hand over mine, his dark eyes shining with worry. "Oh, sorry I'm just thinking about stuff," I answered, grasping his hand in mine gently. "You know, it's been a while since we've gone out like this. Just the two of us." Mully smiled a little, "Yeah, it's been a little hard now that Gaege is staying with us..."
He was silent for a moment before saying, "You know, do you really think he's going to move out?" I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, move out by this week like he said," Mully then said, making my eyes widen, "What? He didn't tell you?" I shook my head, slowly looking back at our intertwined hands.
"Here you go sir," The bartender then came back, sliding our glass cups as we thanked her. "No... he never told me," I answered, still in unexpected shock. "Oh, he told me this morning," Mully rubbed the back of his neck, taking a sip out of his bottle, "I thought you knew, sorry. But yeah, he said he's going to start looking into an apartment to rent out pretty soon. That way we could have the house to ourselves again."
I smiled even if on the inside I was freaking out. I didn't want it to end this way. I needed to talk to him. Seriously this time. No fooling around, no teasing, and especially no kissing or touching or... My cheeks got red just by listing the scenarios. No, Eddie focus. Get your head out of the gutter and make up for your mistakes like a man.
I gave Mully a kiss on the lips before taking a sip of my beer. "Yep, but for now, I'm going to enjoy this time we have right now." Mully and I cheered glasses before taking the shots, and I cleared my throat from the burning alcohol surging through me.
We drank and spoke for a few more hours, and Mully made me forget about my problems with Gaege. Time seemed to pass by with him, but I mean, it always did when we were together. Although the ever expanding guilt of my emotions for Gaege made me feel out of place.
The alcohol quickly sunk in, leaving me and Mully a drunk mess. By the time I knew it, I was making out with him in the restroom as distant club music was playing. I didn't know how late it was, but I didn't care. My mind was in another world entirely.
His lips crashed to mine and our tongues danced together. My body was pressed against his, making him moan as I kissed his neck. Desire pumped through my veins as we stripped of our clothing. I couldn't remember exactly what happened, only flashes. Before I knew it, we were calling Gaege to pick us up, but I was too drunk to care. I had been trying to avoid him or stop myself from accidentally spilling the truth to him, but the alcohol was causing me to lose my sense of logic.

Gaege's (Juicy's) POV (Thirty minutes later)
"Haha! Gaege, you're funny when you're mad, haha," Eddie's words were slurred as I hauled his arm over my shoulder with a grunt, leaning on me for support as I dragged him into the house.
"You're breath smells like fucking beer," I grimaced, "Look, I'm just going to put you and Mully to bed and that's it, ok?" Eddie nodded, although he couldn't even walk in a straight line.
I had already carried Mully inside, who was passed out on the couch. Eddie was blabbering about some nonsense that I didn't understand nor care much about. I was still upset with what he did to me, and I wasn't going to let it go so easily, even if he was drunk.
"Ay cabron! Chill," He tried to push me away before miserably failing to even come close to me as I forced him to sit on the bed. "Sit still! I'm trying to get your shoes off," I said, the annoyance in my tone fairly obvious. Eddie seemed to be sober for a second as he frowned. "Are you mad at me?"
"No, but I will be if you don't go to bed," I put my hands on my hips, looking down at him as if he was a child. "Goodnight, Eddie."
He suddenly grabbed my arm before I could turn away, slightly tugging on the sleeve of my hoodie. "Wait... Stay with me..." He said softly, looking up at me with big, innocent eyes.
I pulled my arm away as my face burned. "I don't want you to leave, Gaege," He then said, his eyes beginning to water. "Please. Mully told me you were going to leave. Please don't. I don't know what I'm going to do without you."
I looked away from his dark, desperate eyes, pressing my lips into a line. I couldn't help but feel my own eyes tear up as I heard his shaky, quiet voice.
So much had happened in just a few days that it was too much for me to handle. Just a few years before, I would've tilted Eddie's chin up, promising him that I loved him and I would never leave him. I somehow craved for those moments with him again, wishing I could press a comforting kiss to the side of his cheek, wiping away the tears that gently fell from his beautiful eyes. Even if he was drunk, there was still a ring of truth behind his words.
"Eddie... I don't know anymore," I said quietly, still not daring to look up at him, "Why do you have to make it so hard to leave?"
Yet Eddie didn't answer and I looked up with a sigh. He was already fast asleep, his head buried into the white pillow. His fingers gently skimmed my arm before falling to his side, and I shook my head.
I grabbed the blanket lying beside him, gently covering him with it as to not disturb his sleep. My head was already pounding with the need to rest as well, but I knew I wouldn't be able to for a while. The only thought racing through my mind was how I was going to leave Eddie. I had done it before, what made it so difficult this time?
Although as I looked back at his face, the way he was relaxed and happy, I couldn't quite place the nervous, bubbly feeling creeping up on me. An idea popped into my head that I knew was fucking stupid to try, but...
I shook my head, forcing my eyes away from his sleeping figure. It was stupid Gaege. It was a stupid idea.
