And so they drank. The taste was horrible to Joseph, but he said nothing because Caesar didn’t seem to mind it and he did not want to look weak.
But he had never drunk vodka on its own before, and he couldn’t quite get used to the bitter burning feeling it left in the back of his mouth. They chatted about life, catching up on the time they hadn’t spent together while Joseph finished high school and Caesar was a freshman.
They sat on Caesar’s bed, one next to the other, leaning against the wall. When they were about three quarters into the bottle, both slightly tipsy, they ran out of stuff to talk about. The silence grew awkward, interrupted only by the rhythmic knocking coming from next door.
“Shit,” Joseph slurred “you’d think they’d be done by now!”
“Well, JoJo, maybe you’re too quick in bed?” his friend teased
“... Fuck you,” after thinking for a minute, it was all he could come up with. “What do we do now anyway.”
“I dunno. We could watch a movie?”
“Nah dude that’s fuckin’ gay.”
“You think a movie is gay? A bit sensitive are we?”
“No, but I know the movies you like. All boring, slow and Italian. An’ I fuckin’ hate reading subtitles anyway.”
“Heh, I think I’m sensing you’re a bit insecure JoJo?”
“What? About being gay? I’m totally not! Insecure, I mean. And gay! I mean! I’m not gay! Not that I think being gay is gross or anything. I’m just not gay! Nope! Totally no homo here.”
“Sure thing. I bet I could beat your insecure ass at chicken anytime.” Caesar smirked.
“Uh huh? Well, I bet I’ll kick your ass at chicken instead!” Joseph was never one to back down on a bet, especially when drunk, and especially against Caesar
“The first one to flinch has to drink all that’s left in the bottle!”
“Hah, sure thing.” Caesar chuckled “Just make sure you don’t throw up on my bed after you’re done with the bottle.”
“We’ll see about that.”
Caesar immediately leaned closer to Joseph, his eyes fixated on his friend’s lips. Joseph did not move but did not flinch either.
This is sort of gay, he thought, but he was too drunk to care. And this was his longtime friend Caesar, who he was 100% sure was straight, so it was really just bros chilling together. Nothing weird.
Joseph started leaning a little closer too, slowly. Both could smell the alcohol on each other’s breath. The brunette bit his lower lip unconsciously as they got closer.
He’d never noticed how pretty Caesar’s lips were.
