You're so dark (an Alex Turner fanfic)

drunk

Suddenly the bell rang and Alex was wide awake again after just having slept for about an hour. He kept laying still, listening if it really was at his door. Ruby was still laying in his arms, her head on his chest, he woke up just like he had fallen asleep, having her cuddled to him.

 And there it was again, a ring at exactly his door, no doubt.

 Ruby also woke up and groaned sleepy and put her arms tighter around his waist.

 "Hun, do you know who that could be?" he whispered but she shoke her head, her eyes closed again.

 When it rang the third time Alex slowely got up and gave her a kiss on her cheek "I'll check" he said and with a worried feeling tiptoed in shirt and boxer out the bedroom and towards the door.

 He feared that something bad could have happened, maybe to one of his friends, because no one with half a brain would wake someone after one o'clock on a sunday just for fun.

 He rubbed his eyes and also a little fear grew in him. But when he looked through the spy at his door he sighed when he recognized the person and immediately wanted to get back to bed.

 What on earth could he be doing there at this time, or in general what did he want?!

 Alex closed his eyes for a moment, then opened the door only wide enough to look out, hoping he wouldn't force his way inside. Alex knew the other man would not leave again if he kept the door closed and tried to ignore him. He knew what he wanted, but he was not wiling to give it to him.

As soon as he opened the door he immediately smelled the amount of alcohol he must have been consuming for the last hours. "What do you want ?" he asked sharp, but concidering the situation, understandable.

 "Turner!" the other man lulled, trying to hold on to the doorframe so he wouln't fall down.

 Alex sighed again, damn he hoped the other one only had alcohol and no harder shit.

 "What do you want?!"

 "Her! I want her! You asshole, where is she?!  You fucking thief!" Theo nearly shouted now and let himself fall towards the door, giving Alex no other option than get a step back.

 Theo fell on his knees and looked up to Alex as if he was ready for a fight.

 Alex saw Theo's face brighten up when he felt a hand on his own back .

 "What's going on here?" she asked calm but she allready knew the answer.

 "Your Ex just decided after his tenth beer, that he want's you back " Alex stated a little pissed because this guy had interrupted their sleep and started to be annoying.

 "Theo...what the hell are you doing here?" she yawned quietly and looked at the man in front of her who seemed like he would never ever talk in his life. The other man just looked at her like a dropped puppy who lost his mummy.

 "Shit what are we doing now?" Alex asked her.

 "He can't stay here" Ruby stated and still looked down at Theo.

 "Should we call Jak?"

 "He's at some friend's party, probably just as drunk as this idiot here."

 "Hmm..and Adam?"

 "I could call him"

 She tried, but he wasn't answering, meanwhile Alex helped Theo to a chair and made him sit down, his arms crossed over his chest and watching the other man.

 "Not answering"

 "Ruby"

 "Mhm"

 "I mean..he can sleep on the couch...really...that wouldn't be such a big problem with me...if it isn't for you"
