James went to the nearest bar he could find, which, just his luck, was the one he went to with Net the first time they kissed. He ordered a few drinks to take the edge off as there was just too much to process.

When looking at the dance floor, he couldn't help but smile as he remembered the memories he made with Net on that dance floor, but that smile instantly turned to a frown once he remembered how they ended. So he drank, drank, and drank once more.

A little while later he was so drunk that he could barely stand, and so he called began to call someone to pick him up.

He picked the first number that popped up his "Recents" list, dialed the number, and waited to see who would be on the other line (as he could barely see straight so he couldn't really depict who he was called but figured it would be someone close to him if they were on his "Recents". 

"Hello?" A groggy voice called out from the other line, though James immediately who was the other line.

Despite being quite annoyed, there's not much else he could do other than respond with "Yeeeeeah,
H-h-helloooo. Could you come *hiccups* pick me up? *hiccups*" while slurring every word. "I thought you'd never call me again." Net proclaimed.

"Yeah, well, *hiccup* I can barely see my phone? And just *gulps* my luck would have it, you're first..........on my contact list. *hiccups*. So are picking me up or not?" James said, sounding as sober as he could get.

"Ok fine. I'll be right there, but which club is it?" Net asked.

"The one you *hiccups* took me to the very first time *gulps*. Said it was......a new club or something like that." James replied, and with that Net began replaying that one night over and over again.

When he took James to the club, James brought him to the dance floor, and finally when they........kissed. Net couldn't help but smile, but it didn't last long once he remembered what had become of their relationship.

Once he got to the bar he immediately spotted James....and another man looking like he's interrogating him.

He walked over to where they were and went "Excuse me" for the man to step aside. Net pulled one of James' arms over his shirt and put one hand on James' waist.

Before he could walk out of the club, the man from before put his hand up and said "And where do you think you're going?"

Net replied "I'm just....taking my boyfriend home.".

"Proove it." The man demanded, and so Net showed the man a picture that he took while him and James were lying down.

James was lying on his chest and appeared to be sleeping, though his nose looked very pink in this photo.

"Oh, ok you can go. Sorry for the trouble." The man said.

"No it's ok. *sighs* Honestly if he was sober right now, he probably wouldn't want to see me." Net said.

"Trouble in paradise."

"You could say that."

"Well whatever it is, I think you two can work it out. Anyways, take care."

"Thanks." Except, Net doesn't think they'll ever work it out.

Once Net got to his car, he put James in the passenger seat, then sat in the driver's seat. Before he could even start the car, he looked at the picture that he showed the man from earlier.

*Flashback*

James was peacefully attempting to sleep on Net's chest when a *Click* goes off.

James opened one eye and could see the pic that Net just took. "Are you taking pictures of me?" James asked. "Maybe?" Net answered.
