    Archer was ready for sleep the moment his head hit one of the stray pillows, grasping blindly for the blanket that had previously been scrunched up and off to one end of the makeshift bed. Archer was the kind of person who could stay up for an absurd amount of time without faltering even a little but the weight of his actions always seemed to catch up with him the moment he even reclined back a little. Then it was all over, his eyelids being drawn down with a seemingly impossible amount of weight and limbs falling at ease around himself.


    The taller male tugged his blanket up over his shoulders, arm curling around Gideon who seemed to be fighting off sleep much like a stubborn child would when they didn't feel like taking their nap. He laughed a little at the thought as he tugged the smaller male closer to his own form, almost curling around him a bit with his added height. "Go to sleep, Gid." He mumbled, breaths evening out as he seemed to drift off.

    Archer didn't seem to stray from the smaller male at all through the night. He kept one arm curled around his torso and either his chin or face rested lightly against the top of his head. It was warm and comfortable and the taller male was just as content when he woke up to remember that Gideon was still there.


    When his amber eyes finally did open again, squinting slightly at the light that was pouring in through the windows, Archer tilted his head to press a fleeting kiss to the top of Gideon's head. He was careful not to disturb the smaller boy too much so he wouldn't wake him up. His fingers idly played with the ends of the other male's green hair while he waited patiently for him to stir.

    As much as Ren might have wanted to try and convince Danny that his whole prep routine for the party was pretty overkill, he had decided to let his roommate just work it out on his own. Ren's own getting ready routine had taken up significantly less time but he knew this would be an entirely new experience for the other male and thus had a bit of empathy for him. It was almost a little funny, anyway, how Danny took such great care in what he was choosing to wear for one night out. Had the other not been a presumably stressed out mess about it, Ren might have laughed a little.


    Ren's own outfit was fairly simple, just a gray-scaled baseball style shirt with the sleeves just slightly bunched up at his elbows, dark skinny jeans tucked into casual, low cut boots. When he finally turned to see Danny's choice, however, Ren found himself faltering and scrambling to keep a clear head because, damn, he did good. All of the time that it had taken the other male to get ready was completely worth it as far as Ren was concerned, his gaze beginning from the floor and traveling upward from there to take in what Danny had come up with. His eyes probably lingered a bit too long at his collarbone but the taller student quickly composed himself and reminded himself that now probably wasn't the best time to be checking out his roommate.


    Of course it was hard to maintain the typical Ren composure when said roommate that he was most definitely not attracted to was making a beeline over to him with his camera open. He took care to lower himself down closer to Danny's level to be in on the picture, basically being caught mid-laugh when he saw the two of them posing together on the phone screen. Danny would be the kind of person to throw up a peace sign for his photos and it was honestly just a little endearing.


    "Alright, it's off campus but not too far." he explained as the pair of them exited the room, Ren grabbing for a jacket before they left. The sun was low in the sky now but by the time they left it would probably be nightfall and he wasn't quite sure how chilly it might get by then. Most parties did tend to be in student housing off of the main campus for reasons that were a little bit obvious. Ren himself wasn't exactly the wild party type and more often than not found himself being the designated sober, or at least mostly sober, friend.


    The walk only took all of ten, fifteen minutes and by then they were standing outside the door of one of the various student houses that littered the area. Music poured out through the windows and a few stray people seemed to be out talking on the lawn. He glanced across to Danny, one hand on the door handle to speak before opening it. "Just tell me if you want to leave, okay?" He prompted with an easygoing smile before finally swinging the door open, being greeted by a rush of shouts and hearty pats on his shoulder. Most were people he at least knew, others he was sure he had never met before but with their overflowing cups they were probably just a little under the influence already and just reacting to everyone else's excitement at a new face.

    Ren's dark eyes were quickly flickering between all of the faces that had crowded nearer to him, cheerfully greeting old friends as well as new faces. It was lucky he wasn't too picky about his proximity with other people seeing as he felt drunk hands clamoring all over him, prompting him to put out a steadying hand without really thinking about it to help keep the party-goers remaining upright. It didn't take long for most of their attention though to be diverted by something else and he was left with a few other students that he actually knew.


    "Ren! Nice to see you actually show up!" The enthusiastic greeting was the taller male's only warning before a heavy arm was thrown over his shoulders, hardly having time to brace himself for the sudden weight. A freshly opened glass bottle was quickly being shoved against the center of his chest, which Ren grabbed without much of a thought mostly to keep it from spilling everywhere when the other male released it. "Yeah, didn't want you all to miss me too much Vince." His response was veiled with equal parts amusement and sarcasm, shaking off his friend's arm only to be immediately lead into the kitchen.


    It was around this time that Ren looked over his shoulder for his roommate, face falling when he realized that Danny was nowhere in his field of vision. He might've been alright if he could at least see him across a room, but the fact that he couldn't pick him out anywhere was a bit concerning. He didn't have much time to react, however, as Vince was quickly shoving somebody who Ren had never met before directly at him, slurring about how great he thought they would get along and become the best of friends. "Oh, hello, great to meet you." Not wanting to come off as rude, he was left struggling to focus on making at least a few minutes of small talk with the girl. Her name was apparently Ava. She was a charming girl, he'd admit, but at the time he was too busy distractedly sipping on the drink that he had been given and surveying the room every other minute to try and locate his MIA roommate.


    Ren finally found a decent reason to excuse himself when he finished off his drink, saying he was off to find a new one. It was a blatant lie, but he didn't have time to worry about it too much. It was difficult enough to maneuver through a crowded house of drunken college students, but it was even harder when someone in every room seemed to have a reason to come up and chat with him, impeding his progress.


    Ren felt like a pretty big idiot when he saw a table lined with food. Of course Danny would have found his way to the designated food room. A heavy sigh of relief cascaded past his lips when he took note that it didn't seem like his roommate was on the verge of any sort of breakdown. Ren sidestepped what seemed to be a group of people sitting on the floor partaking in some sort of drinking game, eyeing the small group that had crowded nearer to his roommate. "There you are, where'd you run off to?" he greeted the other male, hand gently grazing his back to alert him of Ren's presence as he arrived. The taller male set down an overflowing cup that somebody had shoved into his hand on the way here, feeling a little apprehensive as he took note of the many empty cups that were cast to the side.


    // dannY NO OMFG
    ren is gonna have a bad time™

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: andale mono; color: white; width: 450px; ]


    If there was anything scarier than explosive rage from somebody who was obviously a very angry person, it was the calm, silent sort of rage that came from someone who everybody knew as a nice and cheerful person. Ren's gaze had skimmed over Danny's head at the three that he had presumed responsible for this situation, biting his cheek as he watched them scatter to busy themselves elsewhere. As much as he wanted to talk to each and every one of them, his hands were full with a drunken, giggling Danny. It wasn't until he heard the shorter male's newfound nickname for him that he looked down, dark eyes growing gentle almost instantaneously.


    "I can't leave you anywhere. You don't need this anymore." He spoke, voice a tense sort of low that was laced with a mixture of worry and displeasure. Ren plucked the cup out of Danny's hand, reaching around him to place it down on the table though his eyes never left the other male. With the way the other was grabbing onto his arm just to stay upright, Ren knew he was in for a wild ride. On the list of things he had expected to happen when he brought Danny here, the boy getting absolutely drunk wasn't anywhere near the top. He raised the arm that Danny hadn't attached himself to to place his hand against the other boy's arm, fearful that he might topple over if Ren wasn't watchful enough.


    Next thing he knew, Danny was just full on leaning into him and he was biting his lip in thinly veiled vexation. He didn't ask for this. Ren didn't ask for Danny to get drunk, or to call him his favorite person. He definitely didn't ask for the shorter male to rest against him like he was and yet here they were. It reminded him so heavily of the drunken flirting that often happened at these kinds of parties, but god did it really have to come from Danny?


    Ren placed either hand on the shorter male's shoulders, pulling him back away from resting against his shoulder just so he could lean down a little and get on an eye-to-eye level with him. "I appreciate that, Danny. How much did you have?" Dark brown eyes skimmed over the other's face, taking in his features for just a brief moment before a sudden thought hit him like a truck, lips turning downward. "Do you even know what you had?" He pursued through gritted teeth, wondering just how irresponsible the events that had transpired in his absence were.


    // A+ flirting danny wow you got him on the ropes
    ren is screaming on the inside :')

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: andale mono; color: white; width: 450px; ]


    Ren might've felt a bit more than a distant pang of regret when Danny distanced himself from him had he not been so caught up in the fact that he had no idea how much of exactly what this guy had drank while he was away. For now he shoved the almost bitter feeling aside, lips parted in slight disbelief as Danny downed half of the drink that Ren had just confiscated from him. Really, he couldn't take his eyes off of him for more than a second. The sober student cringed as his roommate coughed, stepping to the other's side and placing a finger on the rim of the cup and slowly pushing it downwards away from his lips, careful this time and making sure not to physically try taking it from him again. The last thing he needed was for Danny to throw some huge, drunken tantrum for trying to take away his alcohol.


    "Danny, slow down at least." Ren persuaded, trying to encourage his roommate to come back around from his sudden mood swing. Moody or not, Ren wasn't exactly keen on letting him out of his sight anymore than he already had tonight. Unfortunately, or maybe in this case it was just a little fortunate, Ren had a bit of experience when it came to taking care of drunk people. Whether it be a friend or some stranger outside on the lawn that he pitied, he was no stranger to stepping in to at least oversee their drunken decisions.


    He glanced down at the table in front of them, eyes skimming across the surface at everything that was laid out. "Have you eaten anything yet? Why don't you get something." He went on, speaking over the music and nodding down at the displays scattered messily around the table. As much as he wanted to hand his roommate a tall glass of water, he didn't want to make his way all the way back to the kitchen and risk the other wandering off and getting into god knows what all over again.


    Brown eyes had found their way back to the other male, settling in to watch his expression with care. As upset as Ren might have been initially, most of his actions were fueled by unspoken worry. While he had cared for drunk people before he was taking extra care with Danny. Not only was this an entirely new experience for him, but Ren had something of a soft spot on his roommate that he was extremely reluctant to own up to. Had it been anybody else he might have passed them on to the care of someone else but, damn it, Danny wasn't allowed to be under anyone's watchful eye but Ren's own.


    // danny pls omg

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: andale mono; color: white; width: 450px; ]


    He froze. For a few good moments, Ren himself was on the verge of panicking. He had seen that look in people before, that almost misty eyed 'I'm about to cry' look. Well, he really didn't want Danny to cry. Consoling crying people was often hard enough but trying to do the same for someone who was drunk and didn't even really know why they were crying, well that was a different story entirely. Luckily for the taller male, the worst of it seemed to pass when the other turned back to the table full of food. A soft sigh of relief slipped past his guard.


    He waited patiently in silent approval as Danny began working his way through handfuls of chips. Not the best option out there when it came to food but at a party it was probably as good as he was gonna get. At least it was something, right? He also mentally celebrated the little victory of getting Danny to willingly part ways with his cup. Even if it turned out to be a short-lived celebration, it was at least a step in the right direction. Ren really didn't want his roommate drinking anymore than he already had. Whether he had gotten a hold of some pretty strong alcohol or drank a lot in a short amount of time or just had a rather low tolerance, or some mixture them all, it was probably in everyone's best interest if he was cut off for the night. Who knew how he was going to be feeling in the morning?


    Eyebrows quirked upward at the first little hiccup, glancing down at Danny with mild amusement. Soon enough it seemed to become a full on episode of hiccups and Ren really couldn't stop himself from laughing about it. Danny was finally smiling again and, paired with his hiccup problem, it was actually kind of cute? What the hell? "You alright there?" Ren asked around a bout of laughter, lips pulling back in a wide smile and eyes glimmering with mirth.

    The taller male went still as Gideon finally began to move and wake, tipping his head down to watch as the other finally opened his eyes. His lips tugged upward at the slight flush that gave color to his face and the way his voice struggled to make itself heard as he was still going through the process of actually waking up. "Morning." Archer echoed, quietly.


    It was a cozy sort of interaction, one that made Archer really just want to stay in bed next to him all day. Of course, that was a little unrealistic and there was quite a bit that had to be done today. So it was with heavy displeasure that the silvery haired male finally heaved himself up into an upright position, arms stretching upward in one of those glorious, early morning stretches that felt like one of the best things in the world. He yawned a little, but honestly it was one of the best sleeps he felt like he'd gotten in a long time.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: andale mono; color: white; width: 450px; ]

    Ren nodded his head at the other male's request, relieved beyond being able to express it in words that he wanted to actually return home and not stay here any longer. "Yeah, me too. That's probably a good idea." He responded. Had he been on his own Ren might've felt a little guilty for coming and going so early into the party, but as of right now he just wanted to get Danny out of this place ASAP. Maybe it had been a little bit of a mistake in bringing his roommate here but, to be fair, this was definitely not what he had expected to happen.


    He was cautiously aware of the way Danny was currently staring at him, almost holding his breath as he waited to see if there was something going on in that head of his that he was trying to sort out before expressing it. Instead, the other male seemed to just kinda... slowly tip off to one side and right back into him. "Alright Danny, I got you, let's go." He mumbled, slipping a steadying arm around the shorter one's torso to make sure he remained upright as Ren guided him throughout the house. As they made their way Ren said his goodbyes to a few familiar faces while he passed them, eyes simply flashing down to his intoxicated roommate as a silent excuse for his early departure.


    The walk back to their campus dorm seemed a lot more treacherous this time around, Ren trying his best to guide Danny over and around any bumps or cracks in the pavement to keep him from tripping and falling all over the place. He really didn't want to have to try peeling his roommate off the ground and getting him back to his feet. Ren was actually almost feeling a little disappointed when they finally reached their door, nudging it open and ushering Danny inside. At this point he finally had to let him go, arm dropping back to his own side because there wasn't really an excuse or reason to hold onto him anymore.
