A/N: Heyyy! 😄 this is gonna be dumb. But I don't know. Some may enjoy. Hopefully. WARNING: if you get offended by slurs against gays, please past the section of where a woman complains. I do not agree with this behavior but it gives a bit of a glimpse. Okay. Enjoy.

The familiar scent of fresh fabric softener filled my nose of the warm blanket around me. The familiar headache pounding against my skull.

It's the same as every Saturday morning because of Friday nights dumbass decisions. Then crashing on the same person's couch.
Every damn time.

Sebastian has to be sick and tired of this happening. His roommate has to be sick and tired of this. But they keep welcoming me in.
I force my eyes to open to see the tv quietly playing. I hear and feel the quiet shuffling beside my feet. I slowly look up and see Sebastian's roommate, Kate, sitting there. She noticed my movements as she turned and looked at me.

"Good morning, beautiful princess.", she smiled, I rolled my eyes, laughing a bit. I know damn well I look like shit.
Kate is Sebastian's roommate but also like a sister. They act like siblings. When I first met her, I thought she was his girlfriend but Sebastian told me he wasn't into girls. He liked someone else.
He wouldn't tell me who.

"I'm so sorry. I feel like I'm the drunk asshole who you and Seb have to babysit.", I slowly push myself up but immediately get pushed down. "Dude, you're fine. Honestly. It would be better for you to crash here instead of crashing into a wall. Mackie already brought your car while Seb drove you here.", I groan at the pounding that increased a bit, "Which is confusing. Why wouldn't Seb just take me home.", Kate suddenly became quiet.

It was quiet between us for a short moment until she spoke. "He doesn't think you would be safe alone. You know Mackie can only handle the drunkenness for so long. Seb has more patience. A lot.....", she started to mumble the last part after saying a lot.
But what she said makes sense. Sebastian seems to have a lot if patience, especially with someone like me.
She then got up and went to the kitchen. I assumed she started to cook some breakfast because of the loud shuffling.

At some point, I pass out again because I jerk suddenly at a soft touch against my back. I look up to see Sebastian kneeling next to the couch. His hair is everywhere, indicating he had just woke up. He looked so.... Cute.
"Hey. How are you feeling?"
Lots of patience.
"I'm okay. Just my head."
Seb then nodded and went to the kitchen. I slowly sat up and realized the tv was now off and Kate was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Kate?"
There was a moment of silence before Seb responded.
"She got called into work. Emergency."

"Oh. She was here with me earlier. We were talking about this.... Seb, you really don't have to keep doing this for me."
I hear him laugh. "Chris, the day I stop taking care of you is the day I'm dead.", I laughed a bit, "Seb, I think I would lose my mind if you died.", there was another moment of silence that echoed back to me.
I then finally hear Seb shuffle out of the kitchen with a plate of food, some medicine, and a glass of water.
" Chris, you're one of my closest friends. You could fuck up and I would still take you in."
"You're too sweet, Sebby.", I chuckle and take the plate from Sebastian. It wasn't until I looked at him finally to see a faded blush on his face.
" If you ever get sick of me, just leave me on the sidewalk."
He laughed and mumbled, "Niciodată într-un milion de ani", he got up and went back to the kitchen before I could ask for a translation.
I went back to eating slow and drinking my water as my headache slowly went away.

I finally got my ass up off of Seb's couch and thanked Seb for the millionth time for letting me crash on his couch.
"Alright, Chris. Be safe.", he smiled at me brightly which pushed me to hug him. " Seriously, Seb. You're too nice for your own good.", he practically squeezed me, causing some of his hair to go into my nose where I could spell the fresh shampoo. It was almost spicy smell to catch you off guard.
His voice echoed a bit in my ear, almost causing me to shiver. "Yeah. Yeah. I'll see ya soon.", he laughed against me, the vibration bouncing against my chest.
I pulled from him and smiled, "I'll see you and Kate later. Alright?"
"Of course."
With that, I went home.
