WLTGO one shots

Late night out

"Dad, Virgo! I'm going out with Hermes I'll be out late! Bye!" Elliot shuts the door.
Turning 18 is a big deal for Elliot Hooper, especially when he gets to spend it with his best mate.

"Took your sweet time, mate." Hermes says.

"It's nice to see you too." Elliot rolls his eyes. "And anything else your forgetting?"
Hermes hands him a CD case.
"Yeah, yeah, Happy birthday."

Elliot turns it over.
"Fuck off! no you did not!?" He shoved Hermes arm as they open the gate and walk away from the farm.
"All the songs on one CD. Including the YMCA." Hermes says with a smirk.

"Shut up no you didn't?"
He looks back down at the CD.
In poorly scribbled sharpie the words 'Quest mix' are written across the CD case.
"How long did this take?"

"Three hours. Totally worth it though. Where are we going again?"

"There's a bar afew minutes away from town? I was thinking there."

"Sweet."

"Hang on a hot second." Hermes says. "You've been here how many times?"
Elliot laughs

"Roughly fifteen times."

"Fuckin' hell E."

They'd been at the bar for three hours atleast and saying they'd had a few drinks was an understatement.
Hermes was cutting it close with five but Elliot had lost count with how many he'd had.
For being able to legally have his first drink he knew what to get.

"I'm surprised you were able to convince Zeus to let you do this. Isn't he really strict about shit like this?"
Elliot takes a sip of something in his glass.

"Oh totally. It took HOURS to get him to let me leave." Hermes pulls his phone out his pocket "I mean- why do I need permission I'm literally in my four thousands? It's bullshit if you ask me."
He reads a text before raising an eyebrow at Elliot.
"Actually how had your dad let you do this? I love David and all but he's just as strict as my dad."

"I never get to do this. He's only letting my do it 'cause it's my birthday."
He takes another sip of his glass.
"And arguing with him is so fucking difficult. I was gonna go out with Frankie for his birthday afew weeks ago and he said I couldn't because 'it's a Sunday and you have school tomorrow'. Then I got pissed off he got pissed off and his fucking Lawyer mode started."
He rolls his eyes and takes another sip.
"It's like, honestly, can't I just be a fucking teenager?"

Hermes nods.
"Your dad's cool though. Any news about V?"

"She's met this guy. I think he's called Krish or something? I dunno. But-"

"Shut up Virgo has a boyfriend!"
Hermes laughs.
"No fucking way!"

"That's what I said! I haven't met him yet so I don't believe her till I have proof."
Elliot finishes off his glass.
"Hey what's the time?"

Hermes looks at his phone.
"Oh fuck it's one am."
He looks at Elliot.
"Head home?"

He nods.
"Definitely heading home. My dad will KILL me."

Elliot shuts the front door behind him.
He pulls his phone out and takes his coat off.
He's puts his phone in his pocket and turns around to see the disappointed face of his Father, David Hooper.

"Really?"
Elliot stands there in stunned silence.
He was not expecting his dad to be waiting for him.

"Uh... hey dad."

David rolls his eyes.
"Bed. Now. And don't wake your sister up or you'll be on more trouble then you already are."

"Hey, hang on-" Elliot protested.

"Don't wanna hear it." David interrupted. "Go to bed."

"No. I told you I was gonna be out late. It's not like I didn't tell you I was gonna be out?"

"Do you want me to call your school to take you off the Majorca trip list?"

Elliot remains silent.

"That's what I thought." David says. "Now get up stairs I wanna go to bed."
