Taking Care and Catching Up

"Just the best..." Brandon grumbles out as Zack and Kurt continue to drag the sloppy drunk back to the living room, allowing him to pass out there. The two teens let Brandon plop down on the couch and he immediately crashes into the cushions, happy as can be as his hands go to his head and cradle himself, trying to go to bed.

"God damn!" Kurt laughs out loud, "All I wanted was some water, not to babysit some piece of shit who can't hold his liquor." he chuckles a few times as he moves back towards the kitchen to grab a glass and fill it with the much needed liquid as he originally planned for.

Zack, being the better friend looks around, spotting a blanket off in the distance and walks over and grabs it. He then moves back towards Brandon and fans it out, making sure it waves in the air and then places the blanket over his friend, covering his entire body to make sure he stays warm. Sure, it's the middle of summer and it won't get very cold at all, but Zack knows sometimes when you've been drinking you will get cold at the most random things so he wants to make sure Brandon is as comfortable as possible. Plus, he's pantless so this will cover up his lower half.

"Alright, Zack!" Kurt exclaims, holding his glass under the faucet and filling it with the cool water from the tap, "I'm heading back to my room, gonna go fuck Heather another time or two." he fills it to the brim and turns toward the man, "Enjoy your broads, huge props man, I wish I was in your position."

"Yeah, yeah..." Zack grumbles out as he tucks the blanket in around Brandon, "Have a good night, Kurt." he nods at the older teen as he turns the corner and makes his way down the hallway back towards the room he was suppose to share with Heather but now it appears Kurt and Heather are going to take it over.

As Kurt steps into his room again and slams the door shut behind him Zack just looks down at Brandon for a few seconds before he smiles at his friend "Sleep well, buddy." he gives a grin before he too tries to move to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and get back to his best friend and his biggest crush to hopefully continue his night of adventure.

He takes a step away from the couch and suddenly there is a hand around his wrist. He looks down and sees Brandon grasping him with the remaining bit of his strength, "Z-Zack?!" he mumbles out.

"What's up, bud?" Zack kneels down, bringing his face close to Brandon, "Need something?"

"I-I, I just want to s-say..." he belches, causing Zack to grimace from the smell, "to say, thank you!" he smiles as his hand grips his friend's wrist hard, "Ya know...you're the best!" he exhales and releases his grasp.

"Yeah, you're welcome bud." Zack stands back up, "Sleep well!" he takes a step towards the kitchen.

"Zack!" Brandon yells out again.

With an slow exhale, "Yeah bud?"

"I..." he shuffles on the couch until he's looking directly his friend, "I love you." he smiles.

"Yeah bud, love you too bro." Zack shrugs not thinking much of it.

"No!" Brandon yells out loud and reaches for Zack's wrist again, "Dude! Thank you! I love you like a brother!" he smiles.

"Yup, I got it, enjoy your sleep." Zack tries to shrug him off and get back to his room.

"Zack, no!" he tries to pull himself up using Zack's arm but can't, he falls down again, "I mean it! You're the best friend ever!" he smiles as his eyes go in circles. "Y-You're the greatest ever!"

Zack rolls his eyes, kind of annoyed with his friend but honestly, he's just being nice as he's happy that you're taking care of him when he's in such a **** spot, "Yeah, I get it Brandon, it's all good, no worries."

"I-I'm just saying..." Brandon mumbles out, barely audible, "You're the be...the bes....the best." he smiles as his eyes close and his body rolls slightly.

With a deep gasp you finally notice he's passed out on the couch so you stand back up and make your way towards the kitchen to look around, there are so many semi-frozen pizza rolls scattered across the floor and you decide you should pick them up instead of allowing them to thaw and make a giant mess.

He wants to get back to Chloe and Victoria but this should only take a few minutes. Zack moves around the kitchen, picking up the entire mess for the next few minutes until he finally gets the last pizza roll and throws it away. At that point, he moves to the cupboard, grabs a giant glass, fills it with tap water and makes his way back toward his room.

As he gets to the door he stops and listens just a bit, trying to gauge the situation and see if the girls are getting rowdy or not. After listening carefully for a handful of seconds he decides he'll just go in and see what's going on. With another deep breath, as he's about to step inside, the door to the room her shares with Heather opens up. As his head turns he notices his best friend, Gavin step out the door and close it behind him. "Uhhh...?" Zack gets confused, "Hey Gavin?" he raises an eyebrow "What are you doing in there?" he asks, stepping away from the door.

"O-Oh, well, ya see..." he stumbles in his words, "I was, umm, talking to Kurt and Heather for a bit...just, ya know, seeing what's up." he tries.

"Kurt just told me he was fucking Heather?" he questions his friend, "Does that mean..."

"NO!" Gavin replies immediately, cutting his best friend off, "I was...I mean, I was using the bathroom and didn't know they were there."

"Uh huh, sure." Zack laughs, "Whatever you say Gavin."

"Why umm, why are you going into my room?" he changes the subject, now interrogating Zack.

The man blushes slightly, "Well, uhh, Chloe and..." he swallows hard, "Vicky are inside and they...well, they wanted some water."

"Zack...?" Gavin questions.

"Think of it as, progress?" he shrugs, still holding that glass of water.

"I'm guessing I can't sleep in there tonight?" Gavin raises an eyebrow at his best friend.

"I'd umm, well, prefer you didn't." he smiles, "I'll make it up to you bud, I promise."

"Yeah, yeah..." Gavin groans out as he walks forward, making his way into the living room, "I'll just go sleep on the couch I guess..."

"Uhh, yeah about that..." Zack's hand scratches the back of his head, "Maybe sleep in Kurt's room?" he says.

Gavin just gives his best friend a questioning look "But what if...ehh, nevermind." he shrugs, "Have fun Zack! We'll catch up later, good luck." he smiles as he steps forward, making his way towards the living room.

With that, Zack watches his best friend step forward, making his way towards the living room. With a few deep breaths he turns around towards the room he was just in with Chloe and Victoria. He holds the giant glass of water proudly, ready to showcase the giant deed he just did for these ladies and hopefully they will reward him for completing it. His hand moves towards the doorknob, slowly turning it until it clicks and then he pulls it forward, cracking it open and allowing the light from the hallway to shine into the otherwise dark room. Soon after, Zack slinks through the crack and enters the darkened room with the two girls he hopes to continue his night with.
