I'm so sorry it took me like 2 whole days, but I swear it was worth it 😭. I might have to take a break tomorrow though, cuz Christmas and stuff. Guys please keep in mind people in pictures I show are not really affiliated with the story, I just show them for reference.Like if I show a red head after already introducing them with a picture I don't actually mean the character has red hair  (for example Aiden in the first picture, and in the one here) even though I do try to look for pictures that look similar 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyway Enjoy <3

In a slightly dark room, the boy pondered to himself, "should I wear this? no, it's too fancy... maybe this one!" he smiled as he rummaged through his clothes, the fabric brushing against his fingers like a gentle reminder of the occasion. "Ain't I a handsome fella..." he giggled, feeling a flutter of excitement in his stomach. With newfound confidence, he made his way out of his room, the door creaking slightly as if sharing in his anticipation.
"Nana, is Jack here?" he called out as he entered the living room, his eyes sparkling with eagerness. The old lady, her face full of warmth , smiled and nodded in response. "Right outside, dear. Have fun!" Her voice wrapped around him like a cozy blanket, filling him with a sense of reassurance
"thank you!" he exclaimed, storming out of the house, adrenaline coursing through him as he contemplated the adventure that awaited. "Jack, do you know where this place is?" Aiden pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, the address scrawled in his childish handwriting, and handed it to the man in the front seat. Jack, dressed in a suit and tie that seemed too formal for the occasion, glanced at the note
"Mhmm, yes I do. Ready to go?" he asked, his voice calm and steady.
"Yup!" Aiden replied, his heart racing with excitement.
He slid into the back of the car, the interior exuding a sense of familiarity despite its understated elegance. It was a basic but good-looking Mercedes Benz, and as they started moving, Aiden settled into the left window seat, watching the world outside blur by in a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors
As they approached their destination, Jack glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "We're here, sir. What time should I pick you up?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll call a taxi if it gets too late," Aiden replied with a nervous laugh, the weight of his inexperience settling in.
"Mmhm, fine. Have fun," Jack sighed, the sound almost paternal as he let Aiden out into the night
----------------
Aiden stood before the front door, the pounding music spilling out like a wave, nearly drowning out his thoughts. *Fuck-fuck-fuck-fuck... what am I even supposed to do at parties?* His hand hovered hesitantly over the door handle, uncertainty gnawing at him. Just as he was about to turn back, the door swung open, revealing a burst of energy
"AIDEN! You made it!" Bradley exclaimed, his enthusiasm infectious. He wrapped an arm around Aiden's neck, pulling him down playfully and ruffling his hair. "I was on my way to get more beer. Want to come?"
"Uh, sure?" Aiden replied, a mix of excitement and apprehension bubbling within him as they walked to the driveway. "It's this one," Bradley pointed at a flashy red and black car that seemed to scream rebellion
"How are you getting beer? You're 17!" Aiden questioned, raising a brow in disbelief.
Bradley let out a sarcastic chuckle, starting the car with a mischievous grin. "I'm already drunk and high as hell, so I won't, but you will." He backed out of the driveway with reckless abandon.
"WHAT? No, I'm not! I'll get in trouble and—" Aiden protested, panic rising in his throat.
"Shut the fuck up," Bradley interrupted, his tone shifting to serious. "You're my friend. If you still want to be my friend, you'll do as I say. Good?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'll figure it out," Aiden muttered, bewildered. *Why am I letting him talk to me like this? HE'S DRUNK DRIVING! What am I doing?
The rest of the drive stretched out in uncomfortable silence until Bradley broke it.
"Okay, you see that man?" He pointed to a nondescript middle-aged guy standing on the corner. "Yeah?"
"Okay, I want you to go to him, give him 20 bucks, wait 5 minutes, and when he gives you a bag, come back."
Aiden hesitated for a moment, contemplating the absurdity of the request, but he didn't have to think twice before leaving the car
----------------
As the door swung open, a cold breeze rushed in, invigorating Aiden as he climbed back into the passenger seat, leaving a small bag on the floor. "So?" Bradley asked, curiosity piqued.
"It's there..." Aiden replied, his heart racing as Bradley drove away.
———————-
They both arrived to their destination, the car stopped,"Aiden, I'm sorry for being a jerk earlier. You're still my homeboy got it?" Aiden chuckled and nodded his heart racing as he heard these words coming out of the boy he slowly fell for. Aiden grabbed the bag and walked out towards the front door,"you sure your friends will like me ?" He asked scared of this situation,"they better" he opened the door, the music blasting out and everyone cheering,"AYYY THEY HERE" some random boy shouted, they all gathered and saw Aiden showcase 2 cases of beer,"he brought his own ?" Some people laughed,"I thought we needed some?" He looked at Bradley,"meh I lied" he pat his back and walked off. ^did he just leave me alone in a party full of people I don't know ?^

He walked around drinking mineral water until he heard,"Aiden, right?" He nodded,"you're Chris, correct?" Aiden asked,"the one and only!" ^alright cornball^ "why are you so lonely ? And are you drinking water ?" He let sour a little giggle,"here try some of This" he poured some powder into his drink,"This will get you going!" "Thanks I guess" he took a sip, and as soon as that hit his mouth a smile formed.

⚠️warning, kind of ?⚠️

As the night progressed, chaos ensued when a drunken Aiden decided to jump on someone's car and recklessly floored it, plowing straight into the vehicle parked in front of him.
In a panicked attempt to escape the scene, he veered into the concrete drainage ditch beside the house, only to find this car lodged nose down, the rear wheels suspended in the air.

Chris approached Bradley, who was currently inside the house with his girlfriend, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Ay man, I gave your charity case some of my stuff, you know me... and shit, he's outside and crashed some guy's car," he laughed, his voice bubbling with amusement. Chris's words cut through the revelry like a sharp knife
"WHAT?!" Bradley exclaimed, pushing Chris aside with urgency as he hurried down the hallway, his heart racing. The party atmosphere shifted as he burst outside, his mind racing with the potential disaster unfolding. When he arrived at the scene, he found the car owner standing there, a storm of anger brewing in his expression. The man was seething, his face flushed and fists clenched, directing his fury at both Aiden and Bradley, who was currently resting his head on the blonde's shoulder, seemingly unfazed by the chaos around him
"How the fuck are you letting this happen? I'm calling the cops!" the angry man shouted, his voice laced with frustration.
"Nonono, wait a minute!" Bradley interjected, trying to diffuse the situation. He could feel tension thickening the air, the laughter from the party fading into the background.
"Man, shut up! Your car isn't that expensive. I've seen candy cost more than your cheap ass, lame ass, nasty dirty ass car," Aiden quipped, still draped over Bradley's shoulder, a playful smirk on his face. Bradley sighed, rubbing his temples in exasperation
"Man, I'm bout to beat his ass," Aiden muttered, finally breaking free from his daze, but Bradley quickly stopped him, sensing the brewing conflict
"Nonono, wait!" he urged, his voice steady but firm. "It isn't that much; just take this shit." Aiden stood up, his expression shifting from playful to serious as he pulled out his phone. "You got a bank account?" he asked the man, who nodded reluctantly, still seething with anger
"Put that shit down," Aiden instructed, his fingers flying over the screen as he typed. The atmosphere was tense, but a flicker of hope shone through as Aiden made some calls, trying to resolve the mess they found themselves in
----------------
Inside the house, now that the party was over. Bradley stood in the middle of his room, trying to make sense of the chaos. Aiden, with red eyes glistening like rubies, danced around him, a whirlwind of energy. "How the fuck are you still this baked?" Bradley asked incredulously, watching as Aiden grabbed a beer, his movements fluid and carefree
"I'm sorry, Bradley! just have fun with me!" Aiden replied, still swaying to an unseen rhythm, pulling Bradley's hand as he twirled around him. The laughter bubbled back to life as Aiden continued his antics, urging Bradley to join in on the fun. "Grab your phone and record me!" he laughed, taking another sip of his beer, spilling slightly as he danced Bradley couldn't help but chuckle, a mix of amusement and disbelief washing over him. "I don't care if you have a girlfriend, I like you *hiccup* a lot, Bradley!" Aiden declared, turning around to twerk playfully against Bradley, who burst into laughter "Aiden, I'm so keeping this video!" he exclaimed, ruffling Aiden's hair playfully, the weight of the night's earlier chaos slipping away.
