"he was wild."

"he was fine,"

"with being hungover all the time."

"but i love him,"

"like la la la."

"joseph turn that down!"

i yelled from upstairs but joey couldn't hear me over the blaring punk rock music. i sighed and walked down the stairs. 

"oh, hey danny."

"i told you to turn it down joey."

"oh sorry, i didn't hear you."

i sighed and walked into the kitchen and made us a snack.

"hey so there's a party at sawyers tonight, wanna go?"

i raised an eyebrow and tilted my head slightly, him knowing my answer.

"okay, i know you don't want to but will you anyways?"

i sighed and walked over to the couch with our food and he went with me.

"only because you want me to and because if i don't something bad is bound to happen."

"no it wont, don't be dramatic, sweeeeetie!"

"says you sweet."

i bopped his nose and went back to my food. joey got up and went to get a bottle of who knows what.

"do you want any danny?"

"no."

"why do you always say no? you need to loosen up dan."

"because it's 4:38 in the afternoon, i don't drink, and i know you're going to get drunk tonight. and ew, don't call me dan."

"i don't need to be babysat. dan."

he put the emphasis on 'dan' just to annoy me.

"that's it! c'mere!" 

i jumped off the couch, ran to him and began to tickle him.

"stop you perverted freak!" 

i laughed as he writhed on the floor.

"there, that'll teach you!"

i eventually stopped tickling him and he went outside to take a smoke by the pool while i took the dogs for a walk. once i got home joey was a little high from the weed. 

"dan-dan w-whatcha d-doin?"

joey struggled to put together a sentence.

"awe joey, you're so silly."

"i'm not silly."

he pouted at me like a child.

"c'mon, let's go take a nap."

"i don't wanna!"

"come on joey, or i'm not letting you go out tonight."

"why are you so controlling?!"

joey snapped and i took both of his hands in mine to try calm him down.

"j, i'm just trying to look out for you and... i'm tired and i really wanna cuddle."

i pouted back at him and i could tell he was growing slightly guilty. 

"oh, i'm sorry danny, i didn't mean to snap."

i sighed and lead him upstairs.

"i know... i know you didn't."

  ««««««««««|||»»»»»»»»»»  

i woke up to no joey beside me and immediately felt cold. i looked at the clock and it read 7:42pm. the party wasn't till 10 and i don't know where joey went exactly. he didn't leave me any texts or notes.

i waited on the couch and at about 8:30 joey walked through the door. he looked sober so that was good but... he had purple hair.

"joey! what did you do to your hair!"

"i dyed it."

"w-why?!"

"i dunno, just felt like it."

i sighed, shaking my head but then let out a chuckle.

"you're such a wild one."

"yep, but anyway, c'mon, i have a surprise!"

"what is it?"

"if i told you then it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?"

"well, i guess not."

joey lead me to his car and open the passenger door for me.

"such a gentleman."

he laughed.

"get in pig!"

i squealed like a pig before getting in the car. joey walked around to the driver's side. 

"put your belt on."

i said whilst doing mine up. he sighed but did as i asked.

"put this on."

he passed me a scarf and i wrapped it around my neck.

"i meant around your eyes, you idiot."

he laughed and so did i before tying it around my eyes so i could no longer see.

after a short while i felt the car stop moving and heard joey's door open.

"just stay here for a sec, and no looking!"

"okayyy."

joey walked around the car and i heard the boot open. he came around to my side and helped me get out without removing the blindfold.

"can i take it off now?"

"no."

a few moments of silence passed as joey lead me forward before he stopped.

"okay, now you can take it off."

i slipped the hermès off my eyes and gasped at the sight. i was standing in the middle of a lantern-lit meadow. 

"joey! did you do all this?!"

"yep! but that's not all!"

he pulled out a picnic basket and a checkered blanket from behind his back.

i lunged at him and tackled him in a tight embrace.

"thank you joey."

"anything for you, my love."

we sat down on the blanket and joey pulled out some pasta and other picnic snacks.

after about an hour into our picnic, we were feeding each other grapes when i felt a cold drop on my nose.

"eek! joey, it's gonna rain!"

"and?"

"and we're gonna get wet!"

"good!"

"you're sick!"

he giggled and stood up as the rain started to get heavier. he pulled me up as well and so we were now standing in the middle of a meadow, soaking wet, in the rain.

"wow, this is so cheesy."

"just shut up and kiss me you fool!"

i complied.

   ««««««««««|||»»»»»»»»»»    

"daniel! i didn't think you'd come!"

"yeah well, i came because of-"

i was cut off by joey walking past me and leaping at sawyer.

"sawyer!"

"joey!"

joey took another swig of vodka and almost fell over so i caught him before he could.

"-because of him."

"ah, right."

the whole night consisted of me sitting on the couch and making sure joey didn't go off with a random stranger and that he stayed away from the corner where some dude was snorting coke.

several times i was approached by some horny guy but i dismissed them all and forced myself to remain sober. i felt like it was my responsibility to watch over joey even though he was a grown ass man. i guess that's what love does to someone.

at about one in the morning i could tell joey was on the verge of passing out so i lead him back to the car. i wiped the smashed egg off the windshield and put joey in the passengers seat. he immediately passed out. i put the keys in the ignition and began to drive home. i played my favorite rock and roll station on the radio. 

once i pulled into the driveway joey still hadn't woken up. i couldn't be bothered waking him so i went around to his side and picked him up, carrying him inside. i struggled to open the door with him still in my arms but eventually managed to get him upstairs and lie him on the bed. i stripped us down to our boxers and snuggled into joey's sleeping body, pulling the blankets over us. i stayed awake for a while just staring at him. it's not as creepy as it sounds, i just love to look at his beautiful face. i ran my hand through his freshly colored hair and then lightly grazed my finger tips over the words 'don't wait' tattooed on the side of his arm.

sure. joey wasn't perfect. but that only made him even more beautiful to me. his flaws only added to his beauty. they were the tattoos on his heart. 

and i love him like la la la.
