"Will?" George attempts to sit up, trying hard not to let the feeling of agonising pain escape his lips.
"Yeah mate?"
"C-can you g..et Alex?..Pleaseee?" He slurs.
"But Ge-
"Ple..ase!"
Will shoots across Fraser's landing and down the staircase, a shake in his steps.
He finds Gee on the way, not keen on leaving George alone in such a state.
As he circles the crowded flat, he finds himself bumping into a very drunk Stephen as he clings onto Brian like a safety harness.
After witnessing Cam chug his drink before spitting it back out on the floor-he comes to a stand still.
There's still blood trickling down the wall from the incident, George's head clearly suffering quite a blow.
Will nearly slips on an open can of Cider, watching it flow down the corridor and soak the hallway.
He doesn't bother to pick it up,
'George's health is more important.'
Will skids across the carpet, peering in every gap before hurtling through an agape bedroom door.
Alex spots him immediately from his space on the bed, smiling as he strides closer.
He continues to stroke Kenji-the Shiba finding the party fairly overwhelming.
He's just retrieving a chew toy when he meets Will's concerned eyes,
"Alex!" he rushes towards him,
"Oh-never mind."
"Hi man, what's up?"
"I came to get you because George's been injured..but you're clearly bus-"
"George is hurt?" Alex interrupts, fear etching his face.
"Yeah but it's fine, stay with Kenji.
I can handl-"
Before he can finish, Alex's already up and racing to the other side of the apartment.
James marches down the corridor, watching as he fades out of view, turning to Will with a smirk.
"And he claims he doesn't have a favourite Eboy."
Will grins, "he's fooling no one."
"Hey guys, watcha' talking about?" Fraser joins them on the carpet,
"George and Alex." The pair laugh.
Fraser nods, "Are they together? Not to be nosy-it's jus.."
"Not that we know of." Will responds, "but there's definitely something there."
"Thought so." He smiles, "by the way, do you's know what happened to my wall?"
"No idea." Will rises to his feet, "I left to get another beer when I found George covered in blood."
"S**t is he okay?"
"I mean..his heads stopped bleeding but he's completely hammered. He's in the bathroom now."
"Who's he with?" Fraser frowns.
"Alex."
"Of course." The trio grin again.
...
"George?" Gee questions, opening the bathroom door.
"Can you lift your head up for me?" She grabs an ice pack from her pocket.
He doesn't answer, shaking his head and looking away.
"Please George? It'll help yo-"
"L-LEA..VE ME- A-ALO..NE!" He raises his voice, "I..do-n't- kn-know..who-who y..ou-are."
Her face falls, realising the extent of the situation.
"Do you not remember anyo-"
"G-G-E-T A..LEX!"
"I'll get him in a minute but I'm not leaving you alo-"
"PL-PLEASE G-G..ET IM'!" His voice collapses, tears now littering his face.
"I-w..want Alex." George breathes, "I-n..ne-ed im'."
Gee's heart melts at this, finding it extremely cute.
"I know George, alright. But I can-"
"Who..wh-who's G-ge..orge? I wan..t Alex!" He whines, holding onto his head.
"You're George." She sighs, "Look I've text Will, he said Alex is on his way."
"I-d-d..on't know-who tha..t is.." he stammers,
"just pl-please get A..Al-ex!" George repeats, desperation lining his tone.
"George he's coming!" Gee rubs his back, "just ple-"
"Get im' n-now!" He interrupts, tears fogging his eyes.
She sighs, peering her head around the door.
"Ah Aria!"
"Hey." She smiles.
"Please can you stay here with George? I need to find Alex."
"Uh sure..is he alright?" She squints.
Gee just nods before pacing down the hall.
...
Alex arrives at the bathroom in seconds, shocked at the scatter of blood.
His body stiffens as he hovers outside,
"What happened?" He breathes, noticing Gee with a wet paper towel.
"Oh-Al-"
"Where's George?" He cuts her off,
"He's with Aria so don't panic. I was coming to get you. He's hysterical."
"How bad is it?"
"He's cut his head and he's not letting us near him. He just keeps telling everyone that he wants you."
"Oh." Alex shuffles on the spot, a deep blush clouding his features.
"It's actually really cute." She grins, "but we think he's lost his memory."
"Wha-what?"
"Yeah." Gee gulps. "We can't tell if it's because he's drunk..or if it's a side effect to the injury. But he doesn't remember anyone, only you."
Alex's face drops and he practically leaps into the bathroom.
