Together at The Edge of a Universe

✨Chapter 28 - you look quite divine tonight

Pen P.O.V:

I sit in the back with Tree who's muttering about some random stuff. I pat his back, laughing on how drunk they got.

"Damn Tree, how much did you have?" I ask, they blink at me, their eyes heavy.

"M-....more than...more than one..." They mutter, staring at me. I chuckle, shaking my head.

"You both had to much to drink," Remote says from the front. I roll my eyes, "Yeah sure, says you! You got a fucking orange juice!"

"My doctor told me to lay off the alcohol! Sue me!" She retorts, pulling up to Trees house. I grab Tree's arm, dragging him outside the car. "Nnoooo...Iwannagohomeee."

"You are going home," I yawn, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "C'mon...Jesus..."

"GET YOUR PAWS OFF MEE!" He yells, attempting to scrabble away. I grunt, struggling to keep him quiet. "DUDE! It's like one a.m! Your gonna wake the whole neighborhood!"

"pffpgfgphpfpgpg!" Tree whisper shouted as I brought him to his porch. "Dude, Clean the front of your house!" I say, kicking away loose dirt and some packets of seeds.

"Fauck yyou..." Tree says, glaring at me. I roll, my eyes. Knocking on the door, after a few moments, I decide to just ring the door bell. After a bit, the door unlocks.

"Hi Pen- WHAT THE?-"

"Heyyyy...so, some stuff happened..." I say smiling, awkwardly. Black Holes mouth is wide open, staring at Tree. "U-uh...wh-what h-happened...? To them...?"

I chuckle, "He drank a bit to much..." Their eyes widen, "What? Drank to much water?"

I laugh, "Dude, maybe your more drunk than I am. Just take 'im." I say, handing them their intoxicated boyfriend. Their mouth moves but no words come out, "Wha-...?"

"Good luck man! Have a good night!" I say, retreating back to Remotes car. "Wait! Pen-"

I shut the passengers seat, sitting next to Remote as we drive off.

"...Tree's gonna kill you" Remote says as we drive to my house. I shrug, "he'll kill both of us."

"Fair."

Black Hole P.O.V:

Oh god- what do I do? Tree doesn't seem like themself...Is that what drinking to much water does to you?

"What do I do...what do I do..?" I mutter to myself, rummaging through cabinets. Tree lays on the couch, their head in the clouds.

I sigh, walking back to the living room. I sit beside them, they stare at me funny. I look at them back, confused.

"...what?"

"...y-you're...ni-cee" They stutter, smiling at me weird. I feel the weird warm again, "O-oh...uh- Th-thank you?"

"Yeahs...you look...pretyy..." they say stammering. I give them a small smile, "Th-thanks...you do too..."

They laugh, sitting up next to me and wrapping their arms around my body. I squeak, giving them a small hug back.

"We should get you to bed..." I say, picking them up. They whine, "I don't...need. Bed."

I chuckle, "Yes you do...you look exhausted..." I carry them upstairs, wincing every now and then from my leg. They continue to mutter about how they don't need sleep.

"Babe...please, stop fighting me go to bed..." I say, placing them on the bed. They grumble, "I'm...uncomfy..."

"...Uncomfy? Are you uncomfortable?" I ask, sitting next to them. They nod, I tilt my head. "...do you want to change your clothes?"
