next day

Links POV

I opened my eyes to reveal the bright sunlight peaking through the blinds. I sat up and slipped on my glasses. I looked over at the clock to see it was almost twelve in the afternoon. I clambered out of bed to see I was still wearing my torn shirt from last night. I quickly whipped it off and slipped on a plain t-shirt before I walked downstairs. I started to make breakfast when I heard a load knocking sound. I walked over to the front door to reveal Rhett and Phil.

"Hey guys you're just in time for breakfast! Come on in!" I beckoned them in. They took off their jackets and hung them up carefully.

"So how did it go with Dan last night? He didn't do anything radical did he?" Phil patted my shoulder. The memories of Dan sitting on my lap and being dangerously close to me made my face go red. I shook my head. Phil shrugged his shoulders and sat down on one of the bar stools. Rhett leant against the counter and grabbed his cup of coffee I had made him and sipped it gently.

"What did you two get up to last night?"  Phil looked up from his phone.

"Um just watched movies, had a chat....like guys do...." we all looked up to the roof when we heard a large thud on the floor boards.

"Annnd Dans awake...lets just hope he's not too hungover..." Phil chuckled quietly. I smiled and nodded my head before tiptoeing upstairs. I knocked on his door quietly and peaked my head through.

"Dan? You ok buddy?" I walked over to the side of the bed to see him completely smothered in blankets. I pulled them off him and he groaned. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Come on you up you get..." I pulled him up off the floor and he clutched his head.

"Link? Why does my head hurt?" I smiled.

"I think you had a little too much too drink. Dan do you remember anything from last night? Anything at all?" he sighed and shook his head.

"Um not that I can remember clearly.... I just remember us leaving the restaurant. I promised myself I wouldn't drink so much again..." I sat him down on the bed and handed him a glass of water which he downed in seconds.

"Lets get some breakfast in you..." he shook his head. 

"I don't think I want any..." he shrugged and followed me downstairs anyways. He greeted Rhett and Phil with a weak smile before sitting down at the table. I shoved some  bacon, toast and water in front of him. I patted him on the shoulder and went to sit at the table with Phil. We all quietly munched our breakfast. We heard a clink of cutlery on a plate and Dan was sprinting out of the room. We all looked in the direction that he had fled.

"Is he ok?" I spoke quietly to Phil. He shook his head.

"Normally when he drinks this much he can get a little bit sick. It doesn't last very long but he needs to get it out of his system..." I sighed and stood up. Rhett moved over to me and pushed me back down on my seat.

"I'll get him. You had to deal with him all last night."

Rhetts POV

"Dan?" I pushed the bathroom door open. I found him sitting against the bathtub, his skin a lot paler than it usually was.

"Were you sick?" he shook his head. I crouched down and sat myself down beside him. I rubbed his back as he curled into a ball and groaned.

"I feel awful!" I flashed a quick smile.

"You had a lot to drink. I get hungover sometimes, its not a big deal." he sighed.

"That's not why I feel awful Rhett. Last night I tried to kiss Link. I was one hundred percent aware of my actions. I didn't even mean to! I don't know what came over me! I lied to Link this morning when he asked if I remember last night..." I shushed him.

"Hey we all do crazy things when we are drunk. Sometimes we do reckless things. Last time I got drunk I tried to make out with a tree and when I woke up the next day I found half of my furniture outside." he smirked a little. Suddenly he gagged quite harshly. I turned him round and lifted the toilet lid just in time and he vomited quite loudly into the basin. I sat my taller frame behind him and rubbed his back and he gripped tightly onto the rim and buried his head into the toilet, throwing up over and over again.

"Just breathe Dan..." when he finally stopped he was gasping for air.

"And the thing is Rhett I don't have feelings for Link so why would I try and kiss him?" I froze, unsure of how to answer. He went to say something again but threw up instead. It was a further ten minutes before his stomach was completely empty.

"Want to go for a shower?" he nodded. I left him on the floor and walked back into the kitchen.

"How is he?" Phil looked worried.

"He's fine, he just wants a shower." Link looked over to Phil.

"Phil would you mind getting Dan a towel? I just wanted a quick word with Link..." he nodded and jogged out of the room.

"Link I must confess something that Dan told me...he knows exactly what he did to you last night and whatever he did he really wants to forget..." Link sighed and frowned.

"I didn't want to hurt him! I didn't push him away or make any attempt to shake him off... I almost actually...never mind. I knew he meant no harm. He was drunk." I patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry Link. I'm sure some day you'll will just look back at this moment and laugh..."
