(Aphmau)

An obnoxious ringing sound filled my ears.

I opened my heavy eyelids to see my clock. It told me it was two in the morning. It told me it was too early to function. The one time I go to bed at a decent hour someone has to call me?!?

I grumbled a string of curse words as I grabbed my cellphone. I clicked answer without looking at who the caller was, and immediately barked bitterly at them.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING ME AT TWO IN THE MORNING FOR?!?"

"Shhh, tooooo looouuuud" a thick accent came through to my ear, but it didn't sound like the normal version.

"Garroth? Why are you calling me so late?"

"I need you Aphmau, I need you here, with me, please."

"Whatever problem you have, can't Laurence fix it?!"

"Laurence can't fix this problem, only you can"

I sighed and rubbed my eye

"Fine, I'll be there in ten minutes"

"Gooood"

I hung up and threw on a bra, and made sure I didn't look like a complete zombie.

I pulled up into the driveway and slowly walked up to the door. I knocked, and before I could knock a second time, Garroth swung open the door. I was hit with the aroma of liquor, and it wasn't rocket science. Garroth was drunk.

"Heeey" he slurred in a low tone, "come on in"

"Ok, what's this so called problem you called me about"

"I'm lonely" he whispered while moving closer.

"Uh..G-Garroth?"

"And I realised after the break up, I was never happy with Azura"

"G-Garroth?!"

"The whole time I was wishing it was you..."

"Garroth..." Suddenly my stutter was gone, and I could only whisper his name.

I was now pressed up against a wall, Garroth placed a hand beside my head and leaned his face close to mine.

"I don't want you to be with Laurence, it makes me upset to see you with him. I want you to be mine" his hoarse voice fabricated a sentence that seemed foreign to me, even though he was speaking English.

"Garroth...."

He leaned in closer, our noses touched and my eyes started to flutter shut.

"I love you Aphmau...."

And with that, a pair of drunk lips were placed over mine. It tasted horrible, but for some reason I didn't want it to stop. My lips connected so perfectly into his.

And then I realised the situation, and I pushed on his chest. Garroth reluctantly moved back.

"What's wrong?" He questioned, "don't you want to kiss me?"

"Garroth you're drunk, you need some water and tomorrow you'll need an advil. Right now you need to sleep"

Garroth slumped his shoulders as I guided him to his bedroom. Before he laid down he gingerly pecked my cheek. He fell on his bed and started to fall asleep.

Once he was asleep, I got his future hangover medication ready. And then I heard the unmistakable sound of barf. I went into Garroths bathroom and saw him laying over the toilet.

"Ughhhh"

I sighed and got a wet face cloth. I washed his face and he was too drunk to get back to his bed. So I sat on the bathroom tile while he slept with his head in my lap, only waking up for two reasons.

One, to throw up

And two to cry about how Azura cheated on him.

I could've woken Laurence up, but I wanted to feel like I was some help. And I didn't wanna trouble him, so I just sat there, watching Garroth sleep.

I wouldn't allow sleep to overcome me, cause I wanted to be here if he woke up.

And I stayed awake until I passed out from exhaustion.

(Garroth

Ugh, my head

Why am I laying on a floor?

My bathroom?

Why is my head on someone's lap?

Who's lap?

I slowly turned to see Aphmau had fallen asleep sitting up. She had a hand on my side, and the other one lay limp beside her on the floor.

Wait...I got drunk....

Then why is Aphmau here?

I got up and scooped Aphmau's small body into my arms. I carried her sleeping body over to my bed.

"Garroth?" She asked in a whisper as I set her down, "you should be resting"

"You shouldn't even be here. You go back to sleep"

I ignored the pounding headache that continued to drill my head.

"I left some advil and water over there. It should help some hangover symptoms"

I glanced and saw some medicine and clean water sitting for me. I was surprised that the water was still cold.

"It's cold?"

"I changed it every time the ice melted in it so it'd be cold"

My heart jumped at the small gesture.

"So why are you here?"

"I'm guessing you don't remember a thing from last night?"

"Not at all"

"Well, at two in the morning you called me, saying you had a problem"

"And...? What happened?"

"Uh...I came, you said you were lonely so I kept you company" she seemed to be "forgetting" something. But I couldn't tell what it was.

"Okay" I shrugged. I brushed my teeth and hopped back in bed. I laid my head on the pillow and closed my eyes.

"Get some rest" Aphmau said and started to get up, but I stopped her.

"You need rest too, you stayed up all night with drunk me, you're exhausted. You sleep too"

She sighed and laid back down.

(Aphmau)

"And you said you loved me" I whispered to myself as I watched him sleep.

I know, it's creepy, but he looked so peaceful, and beautiful asleep. His chest moved in a steady pattern

"And you kissed me"

His hair fell perfectly, barely covering his forehead

"And even though it tasted terrible, I had to force myself to push you away. For an unknown reason I kissed back" I was okay to tell him this when he's asleep, cause he can't hear me. So no witnesses.

"You told me while you were with Azura, the whole time you were wishing it was me. Apparently you seeing me with Laurence made you upset"

His snore was so silent, you'd have to have your ear pressed to his mouth just to hear a bit of it.

"You said you wanted me to be with you, and not Laurence"

I brushed his hair out of his face a little bit and rested my hand on his cheek.

"If only you knew it was fake"

As much as I hated it, I had to leave. Not leave the house, I wanted to take care of Garroth. I reluctantly left the bed and knocked on Laurence's bedroom door.

"Aph? What're you doing here?"

"Garroth called me last night, he was drunk. Him and Azura broke up, and since he was so drunk, I wanted to take care of him. Now that he's no longer with Azura can we fake break up now?"

"Why so soon? Want Garroth already?" He smirked

"WHAT?! N-NO!!!" I defended. Laurence just chuckled and nodded.

"We can break up, we are now both single. Have a good life Aphmau"

"Wait!"

I stopped his door from closing and bit my lip.

"I....I have a dilemma"

"Come into my office"

He smiled warmly as I entered the door.

I sat down on his bed and fiddled my thumbs.

"Well...when Garroth was drunk....he uh.....did some things..."

"What kind of things?"

"Well...he started telling me he never was happy with Azura...and saying the whole time he was wishing it was me"

Laurence stayed silent, and kept a blank expression.

"A-and then he said seeing me with you made him jealous..."

Laurence was a little taken aback by my words,  but still remained calm.

"And then he....he....he told me that....h-he loves me"

This time Laurence fell out of his chair from shock. His eyes were wide and he ran over and grabbed my shoulders.

"He what?!?"

"And then....h-he kissed me"

Laurence started shaking me by the shoulders.

"HE KISSED YOU WHILE HE WAS DRUNK??"

I quickly covered his mouth and shushed him, a blush creeping onto my face.

"Shut up! He's sleeping! And yes, he did. And I don't think he remembers it"

"Oh my Irene...I can't believe he kissed you and said he loves you" he plopped on the bed beside me and chuckled dryly

"Well...he was drunk so it couldn't have been meaningful"

"You don't understand. When Garroth's drunk, he starts spilling secrets."

"W-what?!"

"That's why he rarely allows alcohol to touch his lips. He doesn't want his secrets out"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

So this meant....

Garroths in love with me?

A/N I WAS SO HYPED TO POST THIS PART YOU GUYS HAVE NO CLUE!!!! Ok, so Garroth loves Aphmau! Duh, and this might be a little early for a confession in this book, but it's not an official one. So Garroth got drunk because Azura cheated on him, I thought it was a pretty good reason to get Garroth drunk. Because I don't think of him as the kind to get drunk often. Him and Aph kissed! Speaking of kisses i just got my first one....yes I'm freaking out, anyways, I love you all devils. Byeeee
