NOCO [HIGHSCHOOL AU]

The bar.

NOAH POV -
I would be at my job at the bar, cleaning some cups. I'd put the cup down and look up, it would be a girl.. at least I think? "What can I get you today, ma'am." I said; placing my hand on the table. The girl; well boy said "I'm not a girl, I'm a a boy and may I have a glass of Hawaiian punch with some vodka in it please!!" He would give me a grin; why did he look so familiar?  .may I have your name for the drink, sir?" I asked; maybe this would ring a bell. "Name onn my drink isssss Cody," he'd give me a smile and then I saw the gapped teeth, could this be him? "I feel like I recognise you from somewhere." I said; my legs going numb a bit of how nervous I was, if I messed this up it would be soooo embarrassing.

CODY POV -
I heard the bartender ask me if he knew me from somewhere, odd.. "what's your name, man ?" I said; giggling. I heard hun say something, it was like "Noah blah blah, Noah" I don't remember what he said but Noah? I didn't know if it was him for sure; so we exchanged phone numbers. His phone number looked a bit familiar but I just shrugged it off. That night I got drunk I guess I drank too much. I had to get the bartender to give me a ride after his shift. "Heyyyyy— what's your name againnn? Can u give me a rideee my ride drove home earlierrrrrrr" I felt pretty sick; and I couldn't walk straight. My head was pounding; and my legs were aching. "Uhm, okay. My shift ends in 10, just stick around here." I would be bored, playing with cup coasters, whilst my hands were shaking. Soon I felt a tap on my shoulder, "huh.." I said; turning around and seeing Noah. "Come on Cody, I'll take you home-" I would try stand up and miserably fail.

NOAH POV -
I saw Cody, he was so drunk he couldn't even stand up. I would scoop him into my arms, whilst he fell asleep; how much did he drink? Damn. I guess I couldn't take him to his house, I would park my car in the parking lot o my apartment. I would turn the keys; turning off my car. I would grab the car door and open it, I would shut the door and open the back car's door; I would put my arm under Cody's back, and putting my other arm under Cody's legs then picking him up. I would shut the car door and lock the car, then I would walk up the 7 lots of stairs holding Cody all the way. Whilst o arrived to my apartment door I would unlock it; opening my door and close it, placing Cody on my bed. I would see his phone charm dangling outside his pocket, I would grab his phone and use his Face ID to unlock it. I would go through his socials; bingo. "Cody Emmet Jameson Anderson." I picked up my jewellery box, grabbing a bracelet with the initials - c.a. - it had a yellow and brown coloured beads surrounding those initials, it was a similar colour pattern to what Cody was wearing. It can't be.. but it has too? I'll just.. ask him about it next morning..
