Knock. Knock
Demi opened the door, and was greeted by Michael and Jack. "Come in, Come in!" She gestured the two too follow her. As the two came in they noticed Alonzo and Tyler sitting on the couch, Alonzo got up and walked over to Jack. "Hey stranger," he gave him a quick peck on the lips, Jack grew red and smiled, the two walked back to the couch.
"Show off!" Jack whispered to Alonzo.
"You say it like it's a bad thing." Alonzo whispered back, squeezing Jacks hand.
Michael shuffled over to the chair located right next to Tyler, he sat down quickly and gave Tyler a smile.
"Angie should be here shortly." Demi said checking her phone, "Her dealer was late, but she's got the goods" She stated with a wink. Michael raised an eyebrow, "The goods, like what?" Tyler snorted, "She's getting the stuff. You know, wink wink, nudge nudge." Michael still confused turned to Demi and stared at her until she explained. "Oh my poor, innocent, child, she's getting some drinks and edibles." Demi sympathetically answered. Michael got really embarrassed, "oh my god! Sorry I wasn't thinking, like at all." He quickly remarked. Tyler laughed louder, Michael rolled his eyes and punched him in the arm. "I can't help it I'm a child of God!" He remarked jokingly. Demi laughed. "You guys wanna put on a movie or something?" She asked, the group nodded their heads in agreement. She put on the T.V "Whatta you guys wanna watch?" The 4 kinda looked at each other, waiting for someone to speak up, "Why don't we just put on Freeform and watch whatever's on?" Michael suggested, again everyone just nodded. Demi put on the channel and then proceed to sit on the floor.
The door swung open, it was Angie, she was carrying a huge bag of what looked like plan and simple groceries. "Y'all ready?" She asked enthusiastically. Tyler and Demi both quickly came over to Angie to help her unload the bag. They pulled out a huge opaque bottle, two bags of candy gummies and what looked like a plate of brownies. Angie arranged everything out neatly and placed some cups and plates down. She opened the bottle and started pouring out drinks, "Drink up kids!" She jokingly stated, everyone scurried to the table. Michael stood at the back somewhat afraid to grab a drink, but then a thought rammed its way into his head "it's only this once, might as well get one crazy story." So he grabbed a drink and started sipping, it wasn't as bad as he thought, actually it was kinda sweet. Jack and Alonzo were practically melted together, Alonzo sat on Jacks lap with his head on his shoulder. Tyler patted the spot next to him to signal Michael to sit next to him, Michael quickly obliged. "Is this your first party?" Tyler whispered, Michael took another sip and nodded. Tyler gave a suggestive smile, Micheals eyes widened, "What?" He whispered. "Nothing," he extended his arm around Michael and grabbed a brownie, "Want one?" He asked, "Sure." Michael responded, he grabbed it from Tyler starting chowing down.

About an hour had passed by and everyone was significantly cross faded. Michael was now sitting on Tyler, playing with his hair and staring out of the window. Alonzo and Jack had now upgraded to sloppily making out on the couch, stopping now and then to confess their undying love for each other. Demi and Angie were lying on the floor, Demi with her head on Angie's lap and was constantly looking up at her, laughing every few minutes but stopping once she was given attention.
Michael came close to Tyler's ear.
"Do you like me?" Michael whispered, he pulled away and looked into Tyler's eyes and waited for a response. Tyler didn't necessarily want to say no, because he did like Michael, a lot, but he also knew that Michael was high off his ass and he didn't wanna take advantage of that. "You're pretty okay I guess." Tyler quietly stated, Michael softly groaned. "No, like, fuck." Everyone turned to Michael, his face went bright red, "I thought that was gonna be quieter." He embarrassingly proclaimed, he buried his head into Tyler's chest and got really quiet. The room fell silent. Demi sat up and cleared her throat, "Guys, I gotta say this." She looked down and took a deep breath, "I'm gay. I'm so fucking gay. I'm gay gay gay. That's all." Jack and Alonzo weren't paying attention, they were too busy gnawing each other's faces off. Michael looked and Demi and mouthed the word "same" to her. Demi sat down and looked at Angie, she tapped her to get her attention "Angie, I love you." She whispered loudly, Angie smiled and gave her kiss on the head "I know." She said with a smile. Demi blushed, "No like I love love you. Like-" she jolted forward and kissed her, wrapping her arms around her waist, Angie didn't protest, she just held her close. "Like that love you." Demi said tearing up, she collapsed on her lap, Angie rubbed her back, "Demi, I know," she came down to her ear, "You're really bad at hiding it." She whispered. Demi covered her face in embarrassment. Angie kissed her head "It's okay, I like you too." Demi looked up, Angie was right in her face, she moved in closer and kissed her again, she pushed herself up and was now positioned on her lap, lying her head on Angie's chest. Michael pointed to the two of them, "Like that." He whispered. Now was he's chance to admit he felt the same way. He angled himself to Michaels face, and pulled him close. He held Michaels head in his hand and kissed him, Michael wrapped his hand around his neck and held on. He felt as if they were the only two in the room, everything in that moment felt right. Tyler slightly broke free, "does that answer your question?" Michael nodded then pulled him in close again.

The party had significantly quieted down. Everyone was more infatuated with their partner than anyone else in the room. Michael had completely passed out on Tyler, Tyler just sat with his arm anchored around Michaels back, zoning in and out on what was happening on the TV. Alonzo and Jack were fast asleep, Alonzo was snoring very faintly and Jack was sprawled out. Demi and Angie were wide awake and engaged in some deep conversation. Room filled with the sound of hushed conversations and the echo of the television. No one was really paying attention, but the energy of the room was something indescribable, everyone had their person and was so infatuated with them. The room started winding and soon everyone was fast asleep in the living room.
