Remember ~ Something Like Love P10

[Double digits whoot]

By the time Levi had gotten out of the shower, you both decided you couldn't get anything done with a hangover. You went to the fridge and pulled out two bottles of Gatorade, and Levi trudged upstairs to collect some headache relievers from your bathroom cabinet. 

You watched Levi pop his pill in his mouth and take a drink of the blue liquid, chugging it down. Rookie mistake. 

"Sip it, Levi, or you're gonna vomit everywhere. Again." You added as an afterthought.

Levi gave you a confused look, and you motioned to the couch. "Oh, God," he winced. "I disgust myself."

"It happens," you offered, trying not to make him feel bad. 

"That doesn't make it any less embarrassing."

You both finished your drinks, and decided that it would be best to clean the house a little bit. You guessed there was a bit of conversation, but never a constant flow of it, and always a little awkward. It was too obvious that both of you were holding back, biting your tounges. You made sure Levi cleaned up his own vomit.

By the time you got done cleaning, it was about 8. Your time was running out, and Levi was still here, looking a bit more pale than usual. 

"I'm starving," Levi complained, sulking against the kitchen counter. "I have a good recipe that could cure a hangover," he grinned. "Whatdya say?"

Your stomach growled at the mention of food. Greasy food. Just what you needed. You nodded hungrily.

So that's how you ended up sitting at your kitchen table with Levi, chopping water chestnuts. Levi had the music on his phone playing while he chopped green onions and garlic. Then you threw all the chopped ingredients into a bowl of hamburger, and Levi began mixing it all together with his fingers, making a face at the slimy noises his hands were making on the meat.

He instructed you to set out the powdery wonton wraps onto the table, and he plopped equal amounts of the meaty filling on each one. 

"What's the bowl of water for?" You asked. You'd assumed he was going to dump it in the meat or something, but he didn't. 

Instead, he demonstrated the waters purpose. You dipped your finger in and smeared the water along the edges of the wrap, to make it sticky, so that you could fold it into a tiny envelope shape around the meat. They looked so cute, all piled up on the plate. 

Levi dropped them a few at a time into the popping pan of oil, fishing them out when they were browned and lightly crispy. God, were they good! And they made you feel loads better. 

"Asian dumplings," Levi commented, seeing your wonder. 

You nodded. So that's what these were. 

After you got done eating, it was almost ten. You tried to think of how you could get Levi out of here without seeming like you were forcing him away. 

"I'm gonna go wash my hair real quick," Levi announced, scrolling through his playlist. "You told me you liked My Chemical Romance, right?" 

Should you be suprised that he remembered? 

'You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison' started playing as Levi walked upstairs. An oldie. 

You sat on the couch, thinking and not thinking all at the same time. Thinking about Levi and Nate, but not wanting to think about it at all. Thinking that maybe Levi remembered more than he was letting on, because he did remember the MCR thing...but that was before you started drinking more. Thinking that Nate would come home and smell Levi here, the way he smelled Levi on tour, the way he was so familiar with both of you, he would have to notice a difference. Thinking about how your time was ticking....

'The Ghost Of You' was playing now, and you heard Levi coughing, slightly masked by the sound of running water. You began to hum along to the song. "...never coming home, never coming home..." But you stopped. It only made you hurt. And overthink. What if he came home early? Saw Levi? Demanded answers? 

What if he left, just like he did last time, never coming home? 

You felt queasy. Levi, hurry hurry hurry. 10:16. 

You listened to the inactive band sing a cover of 'Under Pressure' while Levi vomited violently into your toilet. 

You told him not to chug.
