They finishes shopping shortly after that, later than expected (due to various distractions)

Eddy's mum tsked her tongue unhappily when the two boys stepped inside Chen's house past their usual dinner time.

"muum, we're like, 20, and it's not even half past nine yet, geez" Eddy groaned in annoyance. Brett analyzed the situation and quickly handed a plastic bag full of tasty dumplings they bought from the chinatown to Eddy's mum, muttered his apology for being late in the process. Eddy's mum beamed at Brett's attitude, but not to Eddy.

"Not in my house, i'm still your mother young man!" Eddy's mum chided his previous words. A few seconds later, she smiled sweetly at Brett. "You must be tired, hurry take a shower and go to sleep, both of you, tomorrow we'll be busy" She added to both of them. Brett and Eddy knew better than to rile up Eddy's mum further, so up they went, tip toed their ways to Eddy's room.

"I swear you're her favourite child! not fair!  we're both musicians! and i even passed the entrance test for the med school" Eddy nattered in a childlike manner, to which Brett could only snickered. 

They take turns showering and get themself ready to bed. Brett finishes first and is now lying on Eddy's bed,mindlessly scrolling through his phone.

Brett will sleep in Eddy's room, as per usual. Brett had always slept with Eddy whenever he stayed overnight since their awkward teenage year, and likewise with Eddy whenever he stayed at Brett's place.

But that was before he accidentaly drunk-fucked Eddy.

Brett buries his face into the pillow. The way Eddy face Brett with no single trace of embarassment or, surprise, for the matter, was beyond Brett, but a part of him was glad that Eddy didn't get mad or worse, disgusted by their action last night. 

Brett was so lost in his train of thoughts that he didn't notice Eddy coming out from the shower, casually leaning into his nightstand to grab a jar of ointment on the nightstand beside him (to which Brett jumped in surprise) before sitting down to face the mirror and do his night time routine.

White towel wrapped around his waist be the only piece of clothing that covered the rest of him. His tiny soulmark peeking from behind the towel, as if taunting Brett and his thoughts from this past two days.

Brett was not stupid, he knew that Eddy had changed after their encounter the night before, more daring, yet vulnerable at the same time.

Wether he would adress the issue or not was a whole different matter.

Brett didn't realize he's been watching Eddy tapping his night cream on his cheek for a while now, inflicting the satisfying pat-pat sound on his juicy skin.

"Staring much?" Eddy caught Brett gaping at him, watching each drip of water ooze smoothly on his bestfriend's tanned skin. Eddy's feline like eyes met his droopy gaze inside the mirror, his own reflection betrays him.

Brett slapped himself internally. For the love of God, he had prepared the whole speech-, well not really, what was he supposed to say again?  fuck, memory slip..  aaarghhh. He needs to talk! Hell, they need to talk. About. Last. Night. And the soulmarks.

But what for? 

Brett opens his mouth, but no words came out, only his struggle become apparent to the younger. Eddy scoffed softly "I know you want to talk" said him calmly with a small smirk adorning his lips.

Brett cleared his throat with an awkward cough, well,  now is the best time to talk about it, so mote it be. "well.. " Brett inhales sharply "about last night, i.. i'm really sorry Eddy, it's just... the alcohol of course, but i didn't mean it to end up that way.. " The last sentence hung upon the air for a moment.

Eddy turns his body to face Brett directly, his eyes searching for Brett's soul.

"Why? it's not your fault, if anything i started it, i think. Do you think i supposed to feel sorry for what we did?" Eddy said with a cold gaze piercing into Brett's. "Besides, i already told you to not worry about it"

Brett shook his head. "No, not that,  but, well, i hurt you"

"it wasn't that bad Brett, you should try it out sometimes" Eddy tried to lighten the mood.

"I...  don't know man..., i- gosh!  how could you be not affected by this! how could you talk to me as if nothing happened. And you said you're the introverted one! GAH!  Brett pulled out his hair in frustration. He haven't even told Eddy about the matching soulmark yet. "this is just a lame excuse to talk about last night, but anyway, we're clear now bro?"

Eddy chuckled to that "The only one that's not clear was you bro, i was fine with it since the beginning." Said Eddy before he turned off the lamp and walked to the bed.

"Besides it was just an accident" Eddy adds a few moments later.

He silently scoot over to Brett, "Do you feel sorry for what we did?" Eddy asked in the darkness, his voice quivering with uncertainty it holds.

Brett could feel his heart messed up it's rhytm inside his chest "i honestly don't know Eddy"

He knew he's supposed to be, they're sypposed to regret it,  blame the alcohol and move on.

But here they are.

"Good, cause i don't, accident or not" Said Eddy weakly before his breath steadied in a peaceful slumber.

Brett sure as hell couldn't sleep much that night. Not with snoring Eddy who had said such things lying beside him.
