parties | jaesahi

deux.

"i'm not coming along with you to another one of these stupid parties again!" asahi shouted at the older male, his voice still shaky and his hands trembling, refusing to loosen his grip on the other, fearing that the random, strong stranger would come back.

yoshi was struck with confusion and concern, hearing the other speak. it was usual for asahi to try drag him out of the parties, and spit nonsense about how he wouldn't never go to another; yet always ending up at the next party yoshi went to; but this time was different.

yoshi could see asahi's bloodshot eyes, as well as the tear stains along his cheeks; something obviously happened this night, and yet he was still unaware of what it was.

asahi was still roughly dragging yoshi along by the sleeve of his shirt, before yoshi came to a halt, staying still and causing asahi to trip slightly; the older male swiftly pulling him into his arms, in order to stop him from falling.

"tell me what happened, sahi." the older male spoke firmly, his voice having a hint of sympathy and concern, but staying hidden under the determination of getting the truthful answer out of him.

"nothing. it was just stupid shit. i don't want to go to another party, okay?" asahi retaliated, stepping back and pushing the other away with a glare, his eyes beginning to well up with tears once again as soon as he saw the hurt expression on his best friends face, immediately feeling a sense of guilt wash over him.

once yoshi has regained his posture once again, he let out a small sigh of disappointment; it was usual for asahi to keep his secrets, and not open up to him, even though they were best friends.

"you're staying at mine tonight." he spoke softly to the younger male, keeping a gentle tone in order to keep him calm, he didn't want to cause another outburst like before.

asahi nodded silently in response, agreeing to his best friend's statement, knowing he didn't necessarily have a choice, and plus, he was much too exhausted to argue back at this point.

a few minutes later they had finally arrived at yoshi's house, the elder immediately dragging the younger by his wrist to the bedroom, playfully shoving him down to the bed; something that was a fairly common occurrence whenever asahi would sleepover, in which he would always get his revenge; and yet, tonight, he simply laid there, expression blank as i sighed softly to himself.

this caused yoshi to furrow his eyebrows at the other, taking a gentle seat on the bed next to him, carefully stroking the youngest thigh in a soothing manner.

"sahi, something big obviously happed at this party, you're not acting like yourself. tell me." yoshi insisted once again, hoping asahi would finally cave in as they were now alone in the security of the elder's house; and no longer in public.

alas; asahi still refused to answer, staying silent as the other questioned him, this left yoshi sighing in disappointment as well as frustration. they're best friends? why couldn't asahi tell him?

yoshi finally gave up on pushing, he hummed softly to himself as he laid beside the younger, swiftly wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him in a gentle hug; of which asahi complied with immediately, shifting slightly to get more comfortable in the others warmth.

"someone tried to do things with me." a quiet mumble escaped the younger's lips, which caused yoshi to freeze, immediately filling with rage for whoever had done such things to his best friend, as well as panic, hoping that the stranger in question hadn't done anything too bad.

"who? i'll kill them sahi! how dare they touch you!" yoshi shouted in anger, of which asahi knew he wasn't going to actually do it. yoshi's words managed to gain a small chuckle from the younger, which caused yoshi to pause his outburst and let a small smile creep onto his lips.

"it's okay yoshi, they didn't go too far, although i could tell that they had the intention of doing so; and if it weren't for some stranger who saved me, who knows, they could've, you know.." asahi trailed off, deciding not to finish the sentence, although he didn't necessarily need to, yoshi knew what he was implying.

"some stranger saved you? did you thank him?" yoshi questioned with a tilt of his head, which caused the younger to look away, averting his gaze with a hint of guilt.

"no.. i was worried he was going to hurt me as well." asahi replied in a quiet voice, to which yoshi nodded in response, understanding why the younger had decided against it.

"well, did you see what he looks like? maybe you can thank him another time, next party, while i'm there." he asked, making asahi immediately tense up at the thought of going to another party.

"no, my eyes were blurred with tears; and what do you mean next party?! i'm not going to another one." the younger spoke up, raising his voice a little as his eyebrows furrowed in frustration, earning a head tilt from the other.

"huh? don't let one bad experience ruin parties for you, look, next time i'll stay with you the whole time, okay?" yoshi reassured the other, to which he still shook his head in response, refusing his offer.

"yah, fine. no more parties." he rolled his eyes as he let out a small huff, a pout plastered across his lips. yoshi knew he was lying when he said that, he knew next time he was invited he would drag along the other as well.

nonetheless asahi hummed in content at his words, knowing deep down yoshi would still try to take him, but he pushed that thought away in hopes that the elder was being truly honest this time.

"hey, let's get some rest, okay? we have school tomorrow, and you must be exhausted by now, huh?" yoshi spoke softly, leaving asahis eyes to wander over to the digital clock situated on the others bedside table, the time reading 1:37am.

asahi finally nodded, snuggling up closer to the elder, getting comfortable before fluttering his eyes shut, beginning to dose off to sleep in his arms; yoshi following soon after, leaving the two sleeping peacefully in each other's arms, their breathing soft and steady.
