If Only Tonight We Could Sleep

The concert ended with a great success. Robert, Lol and Simon couldn't just end this pleasant day. They went to the pub.

"The most expensive drink, please!"

Lol spoke triumphantly to the bartender. As Lol got drunk, Robert and Simon got drunk one by one. Simon and Robert laughed frantically at Lol's little joke. In fact, Simon had many questions about whether he shoud be in the band. But this night changed his mind. Simon was enjoying this night to the fullest.

"Ugh, fuck I think I need to throw up."

Lol drank several times more than usual, grabbed his stomach and ran to the bathroom. Simon and Robert giggled at Lol. As the laughter died down, Simon realized how tired Robert looked. Simon gulped down his vodka and asked Robert.

"Don't have to go home?You look bloody tired."

"Is that so? I'll be fine if I smoke a little."

Robert rubbed his face with his hand.

"I'll go with you. It's boring to be alone."

Simon staggered up from his chair following Robert. When Simon was dizzy and about to fall, Robert grabbed Simon.

"You drank a lot, didn't you?"

Robert put Simon's arm around his shoulders

"Fucking Simon Jonathon Gallup can't even walk properly."

Simon answered with a burp instead.

"Gross!"

Robert chuckled. When they arrived outside the pub, Robert lit a cigarette.

"Lit mine too."

Simon put his face to Robert with a cigarette in his mouth. Robert lit the fire with his eyes half loosened.Simon laughed and said,

"Well, I didn't burn my nose!"

with a messy pronunciation.Robert simply smiled softly. Robert didn't say he was tired because he didn't want to break the good atmosphere, but it was so obvious that even Simon, who was drunk, noticed it. Robert, smoking without a word, yawned.

"If you're tired, just tell me. Why are you pretending you're not?"

"No! I'm not tired!"

"Lier!"

Robert sighed and leaned on Simon's shoulder.

"I actually am."

"Who doesn't know that? If I grab a stranger passing by and ask if you look tired or not they will definitely say you look fuckin' tired."

Robert just laughed. His breathing gradually stabilized and began to doze off.Simon looked at Robert. Long thick eyelashes, soft nose, pale skin, cheeks flushed red. Robert didn't seem to like it much, but he loved Robert's plump cheeks. Robert soon dropped the cigarette from his hand.
