Chester

The brunette boy woke up with a pounding headache, trying to adjust his eyes to the morning light as his whole body ached, he felt disgusting, his hair was a greasy mess and there were chip crumbs all over his chest.

It took him a while to realise his arm was underneath Maxxies neck as the two boys had slept on the couch, Maxxies arm was lightly brushing Chester's chest as he slept and the boys legs were intertwined with one another's.

All of a sudden the memories of last night flashed in Chester's mind as he looked down at Maxxies bruised face.

He remembered skateboarding into the pool from the balcony, dancing around so much his body felt like mush, the fight with Florian after Chester had lied about Maxxie being his boyfriend just to see Florian's face, going to the bathroom to clean the boy up afterwards... the kiss.

It all came back to him in a heartbeat. He didn't know how to feel, on one side he was over the moon that the two had kissed, yet on the other hand he didn't want to feel over the moon about kissing a boy.
He didn't want to feel any of the things he felt for Maxxie, yet he did.
And he couldn't stop it.

He replayed the kiss over and over in his head, smiling to himself as he remembered how the small embers in his stomach turned into a burning wild fire, the way the whole world slowed for the two boys, the song. 'With Or Without You' by U2. Chester's new favourite song.

Maxxie

"Jesus how much did I drink last night"
The auburn haired boy complained as he struggled to lift his heavy head off the couch.

"We lost track of how many drinks you had, but you definitely drank more than you've ever drank before"
Alex laughed as she placed a cup of water and pain killers in Maxxies hand.

"You are a goddess. Thankyou"
Maxxie praised before quickly taking the medicine and finally opening his eyes fully, wiping away the sleepy dust and lifting himself up to sit straight on the couch.

He couldn't remember anything from the night before, all he remembered was him and Chester skateboarding off the balcony and into the pool, after that his mind went completely blank.

"Hey moony do you remember what happened after we flew off the balcony and into the pool? I don't remember anything"
Maxxie asked groggily as Chester came back into the room with cups of coffee for everyone.

His face began to redden at the question, his palms sweating and his lips tingling as he replayed it in his head for the millionth time, the only problem was, Maxxie didn't remember.

"Uhh.. no, I don't even remember going in the pool"
Chester lied, he didn't want to bring up the kiss, especially not now, infront of everyone, and not if Maxxie doesn't even remember it.

What if I tell him and he thinks it was a mistake?
What if things become weird with us if I tell him?
What if he thinks I'm lying?

Chester decided in that moment he wouldn't tell Maxxie, at all.
He'd move on, it was a drunken kiss, for all he knew they could've thought the other was a girl in that moment.

"Hey Max when do you wanna head back to yours? I gotta get my stuff and get home, my sister will want greeting"
Chester informed as he sat back on the couch next to Maxxie.
