Tangled Earphones -An Alex Turner Fanfic-

Hangover

Fuck..

My head...

I open my eyes with force and quickly sit up on the bed. Too fast. Everything turns black and I'm forced to lay down again. Ugh I hate this.

I can feel the alcohol from last night lingering in my mouth, probably destroying my teeth.

I let a groan slip from my lips and turn to my side, trying to make myself more comfortable.
It's pretty cold and I desperately tug on the cover, trying to give myself more warmth. But, Soon enough I am warm without the cover and I enjoy it. But wait.. how did it become so warm all of a sudden? Why is something holding onto me? Did I get kidnapped? Did I get drugged?

I open my eyes and turn around, ready to slap a bitch across the face.

But I am met with a pair of welcoming, brown eyes. The expression in them makes me feel safe.

As soon as I understand that it's Alex that is holding me so close, wrapping his arm around me, shielding me from the outside world. I lean into his warmth.
He puts his head on mine and I feel his hot breath against me.

I could lay here all day but of course something has to ruin our little moment.

Someone barges in and yells loudly at us to get up, and I recognise the voice as Matt.

-GET UP GU-' He stops in his tracks. Staring at you with wide eyes.

-It's just the hangover, it's just the hangover..' Matt repeats as he slowly retreats back, closing the door while doing so.

Alex and I laugh while we force ourselves up from the bed, making the laughter we had a second ago slowly die, being replaced by painful sighs as we try to ignore the pounding headache.

I look down at my body, wondering why I'm so uncomfortable, only to see that I still have the clothes on from last night. The same thing with Alex.
His jeans definitely wasn't a comfortable pair of trousers to sleep in, and it definitely didn't help with his head.

I leave Alex in the bedroom while I make my way out the door, into the living room.

-Can someone explain where I am?' I ask the people on the settee while rubbing my eyes, yawning in the progress.

-You we're too drunk to go home so we took you back to Jamie's place, hope you don't mind' Nick said from his place on the comfortable leather.

I nod and go to sit down in one of the armchairs, while groaning and holding my head.

-You want some pills, for ya head?' Matt asks and I nod again, Matt attempts to toss me the bottle but hits me on my forehead.

-Wow, great job' I say sarcastically, holding back a smile while opening the bottle of pills.

I attempt to swallow a pill without water and it works but tastes like shite so I'm not doing that again, ever.

Alex walks out of the bedroom, eyes closed. Probably blocking out the lights.
I throw the bottle at him as well which hits him in the groin.
Alex doubles over and everyone starts laughing.

-GOD ALEX I AM SO SORRY' I say in between the laughter and eventually I can't resist falling of the chair.

Alex has also started laughing at this point and almost everyone were clutching their stomachs.

————

I put my shoes on and waited for the others.

-Alex stop fixing your goddamn hair!' I yelled at him while opening the door, I heard some chuckles behind me and looked back, noticing that everyone was ready to go.

After everyone had eaten breakfast and drank some orange juice, trying to soothe the hangover, we decided to head to my place.
I wanted to show them how it was over there.

After a few minutes of walking in the slightly damp and cold air, we were there and I unlocked the door.
Pulling the handle down, I opened the door and let everyone in before walking in myself.

Alex had of course already seen my flat but the others were fascinated to see posters plastered onto the walls, as if it was a teenagers bedroom in the 80's.

Jamie and Matt settled on the settee while me, Alex and Nick grabbed chairs from the kitchen.

We sat there, just talking to each other for a while when I noticed Alex fidgeting with his fingers.
I noticed the pretty ring on his little finger and saw how he spun it around.
It was a very cool ring, I grabbed his hand to get a better look at it.

Alex's cheeks flushed red as he felt my warm breath against his cold hands.
I spun the ring around myself and looked at it.

-It's beautiful' I said to myself as I let his hand go and went back to the conversation as if nothing had happened.

Alex was surprised at how casual I was acting, but on the inside I was screaming my fucking lungs out.
