"You ready?" tipsy Charlie says to me as we stand in front of the house. The colored lights shining out the windows and the music so loud you can feel the vibrations in our feet. It's Halloween and we are at Imogen's house for her joint birthday/Halloween party. Her birthday isn't for another couple weeks, but she likes to celebrate so I guess she took this as an opportunity. Charlie and I are dressed like Blackbeard and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. I of course wanted Marvel since I've been something Marvel themed like almost every year of my life, but he said the closest he'll get is Our Flag Means Death since it's the only action media he likes. I look over at him staring up at the balcony. We see Imogen chugging straight from the bottle surrounded by friends egging her on. She's wearing a plain leather tight black dress and cat ears that are crooked on top of her straightened blonde hair. She also drew on whiskers with an eyeliner pen. You wouldn't know what she was without that the ears to be honest.

I look back and nod at him, "yea lets do this". Since it was down the street from my house, Charlie and I decided to walk, which meant we could both drink. We had pre-gamed a bit before we left, but Charlie is a major light weight so its already hit him. He walks in the front door with me trailing behind. I watch him weave in between people. He's wearing his skinny black jeans with the knees ripped open paired with a black leather jacket with only one sleeve. He got a fake sleeve of tattoos for the other arm and added some belts on top to add to Ed's edgy look. I'm wearing a generic blue pirate coat that my mum got from the store, but she added the touch of yellow on the coat that Stede has. I paired it with one of those pirate blouses and necktie. I had the hat at one point, but I ditched it at the pregame. I suddenly remembered why Charlie also didn't have the beard on anymore too... Let's just say the pregaming was more of us just making out in his kitchen and taking shots every once in a while. I guess we forgot to get the stuff we threw off in the moment before we left.

He walks straight to the kitchen where the island counter is covered in scattered bottles and cups. He goes to grab a bottle of vodka sitting there half full and a couple cups. He starts to pour and I mean pour.

"Holy shit Charlie" I yell over the music. He chuckles up at me and starts to fill the other cup, just as full. I follow with some juice that was sitting there.

"Cheers!" he says putting his cup up towards me. I clink my plastic cup against his and look out at everyone else as I drink. We both gag at how bad it was but with a laugh at each other.

"This is so gross oh my god" he mutters.

"Should we chug it and get it over with?" I smirk.

"You're such a lad" He giggles and puts his hand on my arm. His hands always make me a little nervous.

I throw my cup back and gasp out when I finish "HOOOO-oly shit that tastes so bad"

"OH MY GOD NICHOLAS! AND CHARLIE" Imogen has made her way downstairs with her posse, still bottle in hand but almost empty. "YOU MADE IT!!" She approaches us leaned against the kitchen counter. She throws her arms around me and giggles. I can feel Charlie giving us a side eye. I love her, but sometimes Charlie remembers her thing for me and gets mad how touchy she is. She then gives Charlie a side hug, "Charlie! Hey!" Of course a side hug. The look Charlie gave me makes me chuckle, but I quickly cover it up when Imogen looks back to me.

She is then interrupted by high pitched screaming coming from the other room. "IMOGEN YOU BITCH HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" She doesn't even say bye she just turns around and screams with them in a high pitch. She jogs over to the living room to join them. Me and Charlie look at each other and laugh.
