Thank You

A/N: Some people guessed right about who it was and it wasn't Bob, that's all I'll say XD XD

"She shouldn't be alone tonight, I'm seriously worried about her," Jake says as they reach her front door. "You'll stay here."
     "I would, but I don't need to," Will speaks, adjusting Kirstie as he reaches up to knock on the door. Will and Jake are basically dragging Kirstie along, she's conscious now, but unhelpful.
     "She is not okay to be left alone," Jake panics. "I'd stay but you live right next door."
     "She's got someone staying with her at the moment," Will sighs.
     The door is pulled open by a sleepy Avi, it is three in the morning after all, they're lucky he heard them at all. And what little focus he does have is on Olaf and Pascal who'd woken up and followed him to the door, they want to get out!
     "Stay," Avi groans, sticking his leg out, hoping the dogs wouldn't get wise and go between his legs as he looks up at the three people in the doorway.
     "No!" Jake sneers, "No way, I'd rather leave her with Jeremy than her ex-bandmate the sex addict."
     This fully wakes Avi up, "Recovering!" He retorts.
     "That's where you're supposed to say 'no I'm not'," Will nervously chuckles.
     Avi's eyes narrow, "I'm not going to lie, that's never been very useful before."
     "I'm not leaving her here with him," Jake speaks up. "Who knows what he'll do to her."
     "Fuck you," Avi points at him. "What the hell kind of a person do you think I am?!"
     "You're a sex addict, who knows what you'll do," Jake snaps.
     "Being a sex addict does not make me a rapist! All the women I've been with have been more than willing. Just bring her inside for god sake."
     "No!"
     "Guys, stop it!" Will shouts over them, he doesn't want to upset the neighbours.
     Kirstie mumbles something inaudible, but it gets all three men's full attention.
     "Kirstie," says the co-star.
     "Kirst," says the bass.
     "Are you okay?" The best friend asks.
     Kirstie wants to stand on her own. She tries to pull away from the two men holding her up, "Ow!" She complains when they don't let her go. "Ahh-veee, hellep meee!"
     "How is she not safer with me when you let her get this drunk?" Avi says to Jake, it is just frustration in his voice now, not anger. He's upset, but he's not going to let it show, he's just going to look after Kirstie because that's what she wants.
     Avi holds his arms out for her, Will and Jake (more reluctantly) let her go and she immediately latches onto her former bandmate, burying her face in his chest.
     "I can look after her," Avi assures them.
     "He's gonna look afta me sooo well!" Kirstie stretches up, because someone is still holding her shoes, to kiss his beard, much to his surprise and now saucer-wide eyes. "That isa light kissing a human doggy," she giggles. She stretches up again and Avi puts a hand over her mouth before she reaches him.
     "You're not helping my case," he whispers. "I don't even know what you're doing or why you're doing it, but stop," he's chuckling with nervous laughter in his voice until she licks his hand. But he doesn't move his hand, "That's gross, stop it," he tells her, thankfully she listens.
       Jake and Will exchange a confused and unamused glance.
     "I'm going to be right next door if you need anything," Will speaks firmly, but doesn't leave the doorway.
     Jake doesn't say anything, but also stands firm alongside Will.
     "That's usually the line you leave with," Avi tells them as he speedily uncovers her mouth, only so he can stop her hand on its journey to his ass. "Bye," he tries, now not needing to hold her up, just hold her hands back, he has each of her wrists and he is in control of the situation when the two men , very reluctantly leave.
     "Finaleeee! I'd a thought they never leave," the small woman beams, dropping to the floor to force Avi to release her. She scoots forward and grabs Avi's leg, sitting on his foot like a young child would, with her face pressed to his knee she holds on tight.
      "Kirst do you turn into a child when you're drunk?" He asks rhetorically, he knows he's not going to get a solid answer about anything from her tonight.
     "Let's watch Frozen!"
     "No Kirstie, let's go to sleep, get off my leg," he speaks calmly, or like a frustrated father would to his three-year-old child.
     "No! Let's have sex!"
     Avi's entire body stiffens, he knows she's drunk and doesn't mean it, but he never thought he'd hear her say those words to him. And he feels bad, but he's going to use this. "Okay, go get in your bed, I'll be there soon."
     "Ooooo," she chorus', clumsily getting off of his foot and standing and running to her room, narrowly missing the doorframe and everything else between Avi and the doorframe, it was a messy run.
     He hears her thud onto the bed with a giggle then he waits a minute before he follows.

Avi went straight back to his couch bed as soon as what was needed to be done was done. He goes to sleep relaxed.

A/N: So drunk Kirstie is telling is she not? XD And what about Jake? Was he too harsh on Avi? And the big question, what do you think happened at the end?
