Eddy walked out of Alice's apartment, feeling great. "Now I won't need to worry about her.." Eddy said.

Eddy walked to Brett's apartment and was about to knock at the door until he heard quiet giggles and whispering.

"What the..?" Eddy thought. "I fucking love you!" A voice said. That voice was Brett's.  He could hear them burst out inside laughter.

"What am I going to say, I'm not him!" Another voice said. " I don't know, just say anything you want. Brett said.

Eddy rested his hand against the door, wanting to do something but all he could do is listen for now.

"Brett! I have no idea what this guy you like sounds like!" The voice said. Eddy heard Brett sigh and the loud sip of a drink.

"Ah.. true.. let's just continue drinking.." Brett said. Eddy's eyes widened.  During the 3 weeks he's been with Brett, he never thought Brett could drink. "Something is up.." Eddy thought.

"You will need to get sleep soon, we both know how you can't sleep to save a life. That's why you dropped your bow during your concert." The guy said. "Eh.. I don't really care.. I just want Hilary to talk to me atleast once.. she always ignores me.." Brett said.

Eddy could hear some rustling and quiet sobs. That's when Eddy decided to knock.

Soon he heard complete silence, quiet footsteps to the door as well. The door opened and a man looked at Eddy. "Is something up?" The guy said.

"I'm here to see my fr-" Eddy was cut off. "Eddyyy!!" Brett said, lifting up his arms for him to pick him up.

"Come on inside, guess Brett is happy to see you," the guy said. Eddy nodded and walked inside, sitting next to Brett on the floor.

"Brett, you were supposed to get sleep.." Eddy said. Brett mumbled a few things under his breath and sat in Eddy's lap.

Eddy's eyes widened. The guy's eyes widened as well. "Brett get off of him!- I'm so sorry!-"
"No no.. it's fine.. " Eddy said, hugging Brett.

He could hear quiet sobs coming from Brett, and Eddy simply just rubbed his back.  "If you don't mind, I'll get going." The guy said. Eddy nodded and watched as the guy quickly left.

"You reek of alcohol Brett.. you can't handle alcohol you know that.." Eddy said. Brett continued to sob into Eddy's shoulder.

Brett soon stopped sobbing to look at Eddy as the light from the moon shined through the blinds and into the room.

Eddy simply stared back at Brett. "I-I.. keep feeling w-weird feeling Eddy.." Brett said. Tears started forming in his eyes once again.

Eddy wiped Brett's tears with his thumb. "What are those feelings Brett?" He asked.

"I.. I f-feel like I-I'm going to g-get killed one day.. it s-scares me.." Brett said. Eddy's eyes slightly widened.

"I gave up on killing Brett.. who else is there to be able to kill him..?" Eddy thought to himself.

"I'll protect you.. don't worry.." Eddy said, caressing Brett's cheek. Brett rested his hand on Eddy's hand.

"I f-feel another weird f-feeling.." Brett said. Eddy looked at him as if asking him to tell him what it is.

"I feel.. something new.. I-I feel.. that I'm i-inlove.. with.. y-you.." Brett said, basically on the verge of crying at this point.

"And.. I-I can't help it!" Brett said. Eddy stared at Brett as he expressed his feeling while being drunk.

Eddy pressed his lips into a thin line, not wanting to say anything since this probably wasn't true.

Brett suddenly kissed Eddy, catching Eddy by surprise. Eddy didn't pull away, nor did he really care. Brett rested his hands on Eddy's chest, soon pulling just to pass out cold.

"What just .." Eddy stopped himself from saying anything and picked up Brett, cradling him in his arms.

"Goodnight Brett.." Eddy whispered, holding him close to him before he fell asleep as well.

Brett woke up, surprised to be in Eddy's arms. Eddy woke up right after. "Good morning, you drank a lot last night." Eddy said.

"Oh god.. did I do or sat anything stupid..?" Brett asked, looking at Eddy.

Eddy looked at Brett. "I wouldn't really necessarily say that's it's stupid.." he said.

"Oh god.. tell me what I said.. I can handle it." Brett said, waiting for an answer. Eddy looked into Brett's eyes.
"You said you were scared of being killed.." Eddy said, avoiding the other thing.

"Oh god.. but that is stupid.. I cry a lot when I'm tipsy.." Brett said, fixing his glasses. "Is there anything else I said that was stupid?" Brett asked.

Eddy looked at Brett. "Are you sure you want to hear it?" Eddy said. Brett nodded, waiting for an answer.

"Well.. you said.. that you loved me." Eddy said. Eddy expecting Brett to freak out and start apologizing.  But Brett never did anything, he just stayed quiet as his face flushed red.

"Well.." Brett said. "Well.?" Eddy said back.

"I actually meant that part.."
