Second Boys Will Be First Choice (A Brallon Fanfic)

I'm Hungover and Twitter Isn't Helping

Someone's shaking my shoulder and I hear drilling somewhere far away.
"Brendon get off your ass we gotta get going man!" I recognize the voice as Kenny's

"It's 4:45. In the morning."

"We're going to Guinness remember?"

"At 4:45 in the morning?"

"Fair point, except the bus broke down" I roll over onto my face and fell a pillow hit the back of my head

"Get up sleeping beauty!" Dallon's laughing tiredly as he starts yanking off my blanket.

"I would dad, but Prince Charming has to wake me." I mumble rolling back onto my back

"Prince Philip actually" Dallon smiles as he reaches in to kiss me. We kiss for a minute and I pull away

"Wait how do you know that?"

"Amelie's favorite movie"

"Yours too I bet. What are you doing today?"

"Going to see the new Spider-Man"

"Hey I'll bet Guinness has non-alcoholic beers!" he smacks me with the pillow again

"Don't worry Brendon I'll drink Dallon's share of beer." Kenny says as he squeezes by

"Remind me why we have to get off the bus again?" I groan trying to rub the sleep out of my eyes

"Because if the bus blows up we can't have your pretty little face inside."
Zack says walking out from the bathroom

"Zack what are you talking about, Brendon could do with a little less forehead!" I pull my pillow out from under me and smack Dallon with it. 
A few hours later and very drunk

"Spider-man was rad you guys missed out." Dallon walks into lounge. "How bad's the headache Bren?"

"It's can only go downhill from here." I smile at him. He slides onto the couch and puts his arm around me. I lean up and kiss his forehead. "Spence saw it you'll have to talk to him about it." he smiles,
"I'll text him when we get some service."

"No kidding, Zack! What did you say the system would reboot by?" Zack pokes his head in the lounge,

"Should be another hour, we can go to a pharmacy to kill time if there's anything you guys need."

"Nah we went in Belfast."

"Okay let me know if you change your minds." He walks out and I lean my head on Dallon's shoulder. He traces the veins up and down my arm and I doze off without realizing. Someone's shaking me awake altogether too soon.

"Hey Bren, bus is back up." Dallon says softly

"How long have I been asleep?"

"About forty-five minutes."

"Really? It felt like less."

"No partying for you tonight. You're going to bed early."

"Okay, dad." he ruffles my hair and Kenny sits down across from us.

"Finally I can post some embarrassing pictures of you!"

"Thanks Kenny I appreciate it." I wipe the sleep from my eyes and pull my phone out from my pocket. Zack walks in next.

"Did you see what Ryan tweeted?" I don't look up from my phone hearing his name until Dallon nudges me and I look up reluctantly. I feel a lump rise in my throat. My mouth feels like sandpaper when I swallow. I read the words over and over, but my eyes aren't tricking me. They aren't changing.

"He's my boy, always will be" I try and process this but I can't no matter how hard I try. I look away and back down at my phone.

"Dallon what time is it?" I say well aware of the phone in my own hands.

"5:37"

"I think I'm going to hit the hay early..." Zack shifts uncomfortably.

"6 o'clock early?" Kenny raises his eyebrow

"Yeah." I kiss Dallon and walk down into bunk alley. I slide into my bunk. I stare at the ceiling for a long time, unable to fall asleep as the words drift back and forth through my brain.
"He's my boy, always will be."
"He's my boy, always will be."
"He's my boy, always will be."
I finally fall asleep with those words running marathons through my mind.
