The S4— I mean Aloha was holding a party as he usually does. Everyone was going, even the usually quiet Half Rim. He was originally opposed to going to the party, until his partner, Gloves said he would accompany him.
Both cephalopods pulled up to the house. The loud ahh music could already be heard. the sun was just setting, making a nice aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. The boys walked up to the door and braced themselves before opening it. It was already overwhelming. So many lights, too many colors. Rim sighed and pressed on, following his friend. Gloves eventually caught sight of the pink haired party host Aloha, and greeted him excitedly. "Oh hey! Gloves! Aloha, and welcome to the party! Oh? I see you've brought someone? Mind introducing this dapper lad?"
"This is Half Rims! We've known each other since we were little! I decided to bring him along this time, 'cause why not?"
"Alright then, it was a pleasure to meet you Rim and I hope you enjoy the Lūʻau!"
"...Thanks, I will" Rim responded, his voice almost couldn't be heard over everything else
Aloha then tipped his visor and slipped away into the crowd.
"See? It's not so bad here, right?" Gloves spoke
"I guess" Rim responded blandly
The two ventured further into the crowd and spotted some familiar faces.
Suddenly Rim lost sight of Gloves. He stopped and looked around for him. "Gloves?" He called. He started getting a bit nervous. The crowd was intimidating. He kept aimlessly shuffling through people until he eventually spotted Gloves amongst the crowd. "Gloves!" He pushed his way past people until he got to the person, only to realise it wasn't Gloves but someone with the same hairstyle. "I um... sorry" he retracted his hand and kept looking around.
Eventually he bumped into someone, he turned around and was about to apologise when he realised it was Gloves, for real this time. A small smile tigger at his lips. As the two reunited. "Rim! There you are!" He gave him a quick hug "where were you?" The way Gloves was acting reminded Rim of a worried mother. "I could ask you the same thing"
"It's whatever, I found you and that's all that's all that matters" Gloves smiled happily
As the night went on, Rim progressively got sleepier. Not sleepy in the usual sense, but sleepy from being out and about for too long. Gloves noticed this and asked Rim if anything was wrong
"Hey, you alright? You seem... I dunno, off?" Gloves stopped and spoke
"I'm fine" Rim yawned
"Are you sure you're fine?"
"I'm just tired"
"Do you need or want anything?... or do you maybe wanna to go home?"
"...Can we go somewhere quieter?"
"Of course! Here! Hold my hand so I don't lose you" Gloves smiled and held out his hand. Rim took it and was taken into a more secluded room of the house. Gloves quietly closed the door they came through behind him despite the fact that no one else would even be able to hear it anyways. He looked around for a moment, here was a small seating area with a couch. A suitable spot to rest, for now at least. Of course, Gloves knew that a closed door usually means that you shouldn't go there, but he figures it'd be fine just this once, especially with his reasonings
He led Rim to the couch and lied down. Rim was hesitant to join him. "Don't be shy, c'mere!" Gloves reached out and pulled Rim onto his chest
"I remember you saying you liked the sound of a heartbeat. So, I figured I'd let you listen to mine" he spoke softly.
"I also know you love getting your hair played with" he began stroking Rims hair. A light green appeared on his cheeks. "Gosh, you're so cute when you're tired" Gloves cooed. Watching as Rim's eyes got droopier with each passing moment, until they finally shut
Gloves fell asleep soon after
[timeskip bbgs🥰🥰]
Gloves awoke to his phone absolutely blowing up. He groggily checked his notifications. Squinting at the sudden brightness from the screen. He saw that he'd been tagged in one of Aloha's social media posts. And that he was being spammed by his friends. He clicked on the notif and was taken to Aloha's post. He was surprised by what he saw. It was a selfie Aloha had taken in front of the two boys. Gloves cheeks and the tips of his ears turned a bright green, he covered his mouth with a hand.
Once his initial embarrassment faded, Gloves looked down at his partner. Smiling lightly at how he was snuggled up on him. Looking peaceful as ever. Gloves decided he would go back to sleep and wait for Rim to wake up.
He loosely wrapped his arms around Rim, and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead before nodding off again
