Eric sat on the couch across from Matt, distracted,as he often was recently. Zoning out increasingly frequently over the past two weeks. He thought alot about his relationships and what they meant to him but, more often than not, he thought about the relationship he longed for. A forbidden fantasy of loving his best friend, but that wouldn't stop Eric who now thought of the first night his feelings began to grow. Sitting on the couch at 2 am with the tall blonde passing a bong back and forth, talking and laughing until the sun rose but as the night went on Eric found himself blushing his mouth going dry and, alone in his bed, his thoughts travelled to an embarrassing place. Even now, causing him to grow red.

"Swag,you ok?"
Matt asks suddenly, snapping Eric out of his obsessive overthinking. 'Matt looks concerned' so Eric tries his hardest to sound reassuring, "yeah man I'm good, sorry. Just a bit spacey lately." Matt nods quickly,
"yeah I've noticed,something on your mind?"
Matt probes,prodding further. Eric swallows hard, knowing that this weight on his brain has been noticed and addressed making it real, he shakes his head quickly,
"Nah,just work,have a few deadlines I've been nervous about and getting moved into the new place and all."
Swagger will be the first one to move out of the misfits house,missing the peace and tranquility of being alone.
Matt furrows his brows, "I'm still really pissed at you by the way,for leaving us,but I'll allow it"
He says smiling a bit. "Well thanks man," Eric says with a laugh. "Anyway I'm probably gonna go roll a joint and sit outside if you wanna join," Swag says sitting his drink on the coffee table before standing. Matt shakes his head and stands up as well, "no,I guess I should probably go stream for a bit,thanks anyway though." Eric watches as he heads upstairs to his room. Slowly he walks across the living room and down the hall to his own bedroom. He throws on his misfits hoodie,grabs his tray and grinder and walks back down the hall through the living room and kitchen to the back garden.

He underestimated how sunny it was, the quick change making him momentarily blind. He tries to gather his bearings, blinking rapidly and rubbing his eyes when he hears someone whisper "shhh" followed by a loud splash and hysterical laughing. "What the fuck," Eric screams as he's soaked by some mystery splasher. He squints over at the pool looking for his culprit,"Mason,what the hell? You soaked my weed!"
Mason laughs "aw, sorry cunt,I'll get ya back"
Swagger has a bit of a temper,and he can really feel it rising now,like a hot liquid in his throat making him swallow.
"Hey,its okay Eric. I'm getting some new stuff later tonight, I'll share with you if you want." Eric whips his head toward the unnoticed taller sitting in a beach chair holding a ukelele, with hair tussled and nothing but a pair of sunglasses and swimming trunks on.
Eric could feel his cheeks burning,he pulls his hood down a bit and adjusts it as his waist, "yeahit'sfineIdontevencare" he mumbles and jerks the sliding door open. Eric stomps back down to his room,his wet feet slapping the hardwood. Swings his door open and slams it behind him.

He stands in front of the mirror, absolutely drenched, 'how did mason even manage this?' he questions as he begins peeling off his hoodie. He lifts it above his head but struggles to pull his arm through,panic ensues as he struggles with the collar stuck around his neck. When he hears the doorknob click open, "oh thank christ,please help me," Eric yells, muffled from his cloth prison. He hears a chuckle followed by approaching footsteps,their hands are cold on Eric's bare skin as they reach underneath the hoodie. He lifts his arms and as the collar is lifted over his face he's met with a bare chest. He almost chokes but manages to disguise it as a cough. Cameron yanks the hoodie the rest of the way off Swagger,and laughs a bit. "What're you laughing at cunt?" Eric snaps quickly feeling a bit insecure standing shirtless next to Cam. Cameron tries to hide his smile,"do you really need to ask mate? You were stuck in your hoodie." Eric punches the taller in the arm, "Fuck you! It's Masons fault,he got me soaked" he nearly chokes yet again realizing his crotch is wet, and he's freezing, and he no longer has his oversized hoodie on. He doesn't dare look down or make matters worse by looking at Cameron's naked upper body.
"Yeah I know sorry. I couldn't stop him..also I didnt want to" he added quietly, grinning, triggering another punch from Eric and more chuckling from Fitz. "But erm anyway I came in here to ask if you could.. maybe pitch in a bit for weed," Cam says shyly, rubbing his arm. Eric glares, "ask mason to cover it,he owes me" he says smiling smugly. Cam laughs and nods agreeingly before walking to the door,he pulls it open and shuts it behind him,glancing back at Swagger. Eric flops on his bed sighing loudly and covering his face with his hands, when he hears the doorknob click yet again. He peaks through his fingers to see Cameron's head sticking in, "oh and by the way nice semi," he says quickly before pulling his head back out. Eric's cheeks go a bright red and he groans loudly in embarrassment, as Cameron's laughing can be heard going down the hall.

After changing clothes and rolling, then smoking himself a well deserved joint, Eric leaves his room and joins the rest of the group in the living room. Matt and Mason are on the couch playing smash bros. while Toby and Cameron are at the kitchen counter sipping on drinks and chatting. Eric walks in front of the TV slowly while smiling maliciously at Mason, who instead of shouting, smiles back, "you finally dry,cunt?" Eric drops his smile, "Fuck you Mason!" Followed by everyone laughing. Swagger laughs as well and walks over to Cam and Toby, "have you got that new weed yet?" Eric asks intently, rubbing his hands together. Cameron shakes his head, "no but I need to leave like, really soon, and I was actually just trying to get Tobi to come with me to pick it up but she's busy apparently.." he says narrowing his eyes at her jokingly. "I really am busy actually,and I don't want to go buy weed anyway" she says laughing and rolling her eyes. Cameron laughs and looks at Swagger,"could you come? You kind of owe me.." he says the last part a bit quietly but it still pricks Tobi's attention, "owe him for what?"
She asks looking at Eric who blushes a bit, recalling the incident. He stammers to explain being alone, shirtless, with Cameron. "Aw,it's nothing he just borrowed my headset earlier because the left side on his cut out." Cameron explains cooly,Tobi just nods her head,mouthing an "oh".
Cameron looks back to Eric, who's cursing himself under his breath for choking up. "So you gonna make me go alone to a sketchy drug dealers house?" Cameron asks pitifully, Eric shakes his head, "Fine! I'll go, but Mason is still paying my share. And I mean that!" He shouts toward Mason, gaining a loud "aw,fuck" from him, making everyone laugh. Cameron stands up quickly, grabbing his keys off the counter,"wait weren't you drinking?" Eric asks lifting up Cameron's drink to smell it,"nah just some coke,been trying to drink a little less actually, I'm a really horny drunk apparently." Cameron replies, shaking his head in and walking towards Matt and Mason to collect their shares. Eric sniffs the drink just to be sure before walking past the three men and to the front door, where he stands and waits for Cameron. "You can go ahead to the car if you want," Cam says from the other side of the room pocketing a couple bills. Eric nods and steps out onto the porch, sitting in a patio chair. He pulls his phone out and scrolls through Twitter, hearting a picture of Mason laughing while holding a switch controller. When he receives a text from Bee, he opens it finding a picture of her topless with lacy underwear kneeling on her bed along with a string of X's and O's. Eric blushes slightly, even though he's alone, when someone taps his shoulder. He jumps, dropping his phone face down on the stone porch and turns around to find Cam who is now looking down at his phone. "Yikes. That sounded bad, sorry" he winces. He bends down and picks up the phone flipping it over. "Hey,it's not even cra-"
He drops off noticing the image on screen, Eric stutters but Cameron cuts him off, practically shoving the phone at him while blushing wildly. "sorrymate," he mutters and walks quickly to the car with his head down.
