You Make Me Breathless & I Make You Blush

Nogla thumped his forehead against the wall with a lot more force than probably necessary.

His mind wasn't working properly; it was clouded with a false sense of confidence, an underlying string of doubt and bad plans. He knew that the night could only end in disaster, since drunkenness & love confessions never mixed well together, no matter what the movies said.

The hotel's hallway was empty, which he was eternally grateful for and he knew he probably looked like a mess- a sure sight to see- with his face pressed up against the wall as he muttered to himself under his breath.

He really hoped Evan couldn't hear him through the wall.

"This is a bad idea," he mumbled, huffing out a breath. He was somewhat glad that his Irish accent masked the sound of his slurred words, since he didn't want Vanoss to think that he was drunk, even if he actually was. The smart idea for him to do would be to return to the casino with the others and get completely shit faced drunk, more so than what he currently was now. Just so that the overwhelming feeling that was currently pressing against his chest would go away for a while. It was always there nowadays, and it got even worse whenever he was around Evan.

He knew why though, of course.

The dumb idea, though- the one he was currently trying to talk himself out of doing - was to shuffle a few steps to his left, knock on the door and tell his friend just how much he's in love with him.

Evan had called for an early night, he'd ignored the groans from their group and had instead retreated to the room that he shared with Tyler. At first, David had just assumed that he'd been tired, but then there was that small amount of doubt in his mind that reminded him that Evan had been acting weird all night. So what had started off as a friendly trip to make sure his friend was alright, had turned into the possibility of Daithi confessing his love to the man.

Nogla's phone buzzed from within his back pocket and he sighed, leaning himself away from the wall- rocking back onto his heels.

Received 1:17am - From Lui: 'is he oka y?? did u checkkk?'

Daithi rolled his eyes and shot a quick glance over to the door, considering his options. He had an excuse- if he did chicken out- he could just play this whole visit off as if it were just friendly concern; but if he did confess and if Evan didn't feel the same as him, he could always just claim that it was the alcohol talking. It gave Daithi a burst confidence, knowing that he had a back-up plan just in case everything went wrong; which meant he only hesitated for a second before shuffling a few steps to his left and finally knocking on the old white door in front of him.

He managed to count to twenty under his breath before Evan opened the door and Daithi almost passed out when he caught sight of his friend standing in front of him.

Vanoss was standing there with only a towel wrapped around his waist... and he was dripping wet.

Practically every inch of his tanned skin was on display for Daithi's eyes and David couldn't help but feel his breath stutter in his chest. Evan raised his eyebrows in surprise, a yawn slipping past his lips and Nogla couldn't tear his eyes away from him. The man in front of him was perfect, with his slightly glassy eyes and a tired smirk- Nogla desperately wanted to lean forward and kiss it off of his lips.

"Nogla? What are you doing up here?" He asked quietly, stepping backwards so that there was enough room for Daithi to enter, "I thought you'd be downstairs partying with the others,"

Nogla shrugged his shoulders lightly, looking around Evan and Tyler's shared room. It was a complete replica of his and Lui's room, but it had the added touch of clothing scattered around on the floor. The cream carpet and peeling white walls were slightly worse for wear, yet Nogla still found the room more inviting than his own.
