9: All you can do is try

I know that Steven has a blood thing where he can't really drink, but for the story were going to pretend he doesn't. Also I left the type of shots blank as I'm not certain how much of what would make them drunk. And finally a warning that things do get a bit heated.

Chilled:

"Please tell me what the hell happened last night."

"Uhhh.. what do you mean?"

"What exactly did we do?" Steven asked, gesturing between the two of them.

"Nothing! I promise!"

"Is that so? Then why does my ass hurt, why are we naked and why are you covered in hickeys?"

"Oh....ahhh...I can explain?" he said in a questioning tone, slightly panicked by Stevens harsh tone.

"Please do."

~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~

"....yes mom I'm sure........ yeah I love you too, bye!" He said, finally ending the call. His mom had heard about his appartment fire and gotten worried about him, but a 20 min phonecall seemed a little bit much when he had told her he was fine, just a bit busy but could call her the next day. Taking a deep breath he went back into the club, wading through the sea of dancing bodies back to where he had left his friends, except... they wern't there.

About to go looking for them, he flinched as he felt someone behind him grab his shoulder. "Anthony right?" a happy voice asked. Turning around he saw the owner of both the voice and the hand on his shoulder, a man wearing jeans and a grey shirt, with short darker colored hair and eyes, but he wasn't sure exactly what color they were in this lighting though.

"Uhh yes?" he answered unsurely. But it looked like that was what the owner of the happy voice wanted to hear as he smiled at that, now looking as happy as he sounded.

"That's great! I'm Adam, your friends sent me to find you! Ze gave me a very detailed decription of you, something that included 'big strong arms'." Adam said with a laugh, one hand giving air quotes to the words, the other sliding from his shoulder to bicep, giving it a squeeze for emphasis. "Now come on, I left Smarty to babysit while I came to get you and I'm not sure if he can handle them alone!" Adam said while using the grip he still had on his arm to pull him through the crowd and over to a booth.

Finally getting there Anthony was greeted by a few very strange sights; a table covered in empty shot glasses, two guys trying (and failing) to make a tower out of the shot glasses and Steven sitting on Smartys lap curled up into him while Smarty tried (and failed) to get the other two to put the cups down.

"Smarty I found Anthony, now where'd the other guys go?" Adam called out as they reached the booth. Smarty pointed towards the largest group of dancing people, and Adam just smiled and shook his head, looking like an indulgent parent before turning back to him. "This is Max, you can call him Gassy if you want." Adam said as he pointed to the more sober looking tower builder who waved and said hi. "And this is Aaron, or Slam." as he said that the guy quickly stood up, bumping into the table and knocking over the small cup tower as he came over to shake his hand, before slightly stumbling towards Adam who he threw an arm around, probably to use him for balance.

"Nice to meet you, weird nicknames though." he called out over the music, although only Adam and Smarty seemed to hear him.

"Says the guy nicknamed Chilled!" Adam said back teasingly, before adding "Were all Ze an Smartys youtube friends so of course we have weird knicknames after our channels, just like you do!"
