“You wont be home too late, will you?”

“No, of course not!” Alex called to his mum, pulling Jack out of the front door with him.

“We’re going to be home late, aren’t we?” The American sighed, rolling his eyes. He knew Alex’s logic.

“Look, she never stated what ‘too late’ meant, did she? So too late to her, is probably a lot different than too late to me.”

“So what do you consider too late?” Jack finally asked, dreading the answer.

“Not coming back until tomorrow evening.”

Jack wasn’t too keen on this idea, but it wasn’t like he was going to just let Alex go out and get drunk in some club on his own. His boyfriend had just turned eighteen, so yeah, he deserved to get bloody wasted, but Jack was hoping to be snuggled back in bed with the boy by at least one in the morning. It seemed like that plan was out of the window.

“Can we be home by one, please?” But Jack’s begging wasn’t going to work, and he didn’t even know why he tried.

“Jack, it’s for my eighteenth, babe. I plan to make it a good one.” The other boy retorted, beginning to walk down his drive, his hand gingerly brushing over the roof of his new car. It was sad to see such love radiate from a boy and his car. It upset him to know he had to leave his beauty behind. He was sensible enough to know that drink driving was not the one.

“I know, but...”

“Well, it’s ten o’clock now, and I can hold my drink, so that means it’ll take me until midnight to get properly fucked. Then, I want to stay drunk for a couple of hours, and then have time to sober up a teeny bit, so... we can come home at four?”

Jack frowned; he didn’t like Alex’s negotiating. “Two?” He challenged.

“Three, but that’s as early as I’ll go.”

“Fine.” Jack had to admit defeat.

He knew he should be looking forward to going out on Alex’s birthday weekend, but to be quite honest, he was scared.

He’d never seen Alex drunk before, I mean, what if he was violent? Jack wasn’t exactly prepared to look after the boy the whole night, for he wanted to have a good time too.

It was risky for Jack to be with Alex, though. He knew that he was underage, and he was scared about getting asked for I.D, but Alex had tried to reassure him earlier. “Look, I have a baby face, but I don’t get I.Ded, I haven’t for about a year. You’ll be fine, especially since you haven’t shaved in ages. The bouncers here aren’t even that bad, and if they ask for I.D just say you forgot it and bat your pretty little eyes at them.”

Jack’s arms were folded across his chest as he walked by Alex’s side, the harsh wind blowing cold against their faces. “I’m not sure about this...” He whined, “What if I don’t get in?”

Alex sighed, holding out his hand, palm facing towards the black starless sky as a signal for Jack to entwine their fingers. “You will, though, trust me.”

Trust me.

Jack didn’t really have a choice but to believe the boy.

“Which one are we going to, anyway?” The younger boy asked curiously, his hand tightening around Alex’s.

“I was thinking we could do a pub crawl, maybe?”

“What the hell is a pub crawl?” Jack asked, wrinkling his nose.

“Are you shitting me?”

“No, Alex, I’m not.”

Alex huffed, “You basically go into one pub, get a round of drinks. Then another. Then maybe another, before you leave and go to the next nearest pub to drink more, and you repeat until you go into every pub in town, basically.”
