dalton. 

looking up at her after she told him to wait, he looked at her with anticipation. then when she admitted to feeling the same way – that really took him by surprise. “oh?” was all he could manage to say for the first few seconds. leaning back into the couch, he folded his arms, a small smirk starting to form on his face. “yeah? really? you’re not just fucking with me, are you?” he asked, a laugh following.

she had her lips pressed together as she waited to see his reaction, though she knew that it couldn’t have been too disastrous. she nodded her head at his question, smiling as she saw his own spread across his features. “no, i’m not just fucking with you,” she laughed, shaking her head at him. the question of now what? was in her head, not really knowing where to go from there.

dalton.

dalton picked up the aspirin and swallowed it down with the water, muttering a thanks afterwards. for once, dalton decided to just not beat around the bush and actually say what they were both trying to avoid saying. he furrowed his eyebrows trying to make sense of what tegan said, but just continued anyways. “yeah … well, uh. as i said last night, i do like you, but if i read the room correctly – while drunk – it’s not mutual. which is completely fine, honestly. i’ll get over it. it doesn’t have to change anything. i just wanted to clear that up before leaving.” he was relieved to have finally said it aloud and sober.

her breath caught, tegan swearing she felt her heart skip a beat. it was different hearing the words when he was sober, it seemed more real. “wait, dalton,” she started, butterflies in her stomach. she didn’t really know what to say to him, but she had a feeling that just saying exactly what she felt would be her best bet. “i..i feel the same way,” she sounded more hesitant, but it was really just her nerves coming to the surface. she looked over at him, hoping that her statement would make him stay.

dalton.

“actually, aspirin would be great, thanks,” he said with a nod and weak smile. dalton walked over to the closest chair and sat down. “i do need to apologize.” it was in this moment that he had to come clean with his feelings – sober. “first off, i shouldn’t have come over out of the blue. we have phones, i should use it. secondly, coming over drunk as shit, confessing all of that to you. again, not cool. so, again, i’m sorry.”

she nodded, turning around to reach into her cabinet to grab him some aspirin. she had gone over what she could possibly say hundreds of times before dalton woke up, but now that he was in front of her and awake, she wasn’t sure what exactly to say. setting the aspirin and some water in front of him, tegan offered him a smile. “it’s alright. it’s not like we’re not not friends,” maybe she should have found another way of wording that, but she didn’t have any other way to word it. “but you don’t have to apologize, really.”

dalton.

dalton had slept surprisingly well, but he usually did after a night of drinking. when he woke up on tegan’s couch to the sound of coffee brewing, he was slightly confused. but last nights events all came rushing back to him. he sighed deeply, slowly sitting up on the couch. he sat there on the couch for a few moments with his head in his hands. with his hangover in full swing, he grabbed his cup of water and chugged the rest of it. “uh … good morning,” dalton greeted the other. standing up, he walked towards tegan. running hands through his hair, he was unsure of what to say next. “sorry about last night.” it probably wasn’t the best thing to say, but it was a start.

tegan didn’t hear him get up, so when dalton finally speak, it did startle her slightly. a small part of her felt bad that she let him sleep on the couch, but she wasn’t sure how he would have felt if she offered him her bed as well. she greeted him with a smile, trying her best to act like everything was normal. “morning,” she said. “do you need aspirin or anything?” she didn’t know if he would need any, but tegan wanted him to know that she could help. she shook her head, “you don’t need to apologize, really.”

maxwell.

“Okay, am I going crazy or are teenager’s coming up with some really weird slang terms nowadays?” Max might’ve been twenty-four years old, yet, he definitely wasn’t as up today on newer trends as of late like many people were. “I heard the term ‘finesse’ and I had to ask Talia, and you would’ve sworn I was a neon yellow alien with the look she gave me.” he couldn’t help but laugh as he recalled the conversation. “She STILL didn’t tell me what the hell it means.” 

laughing, tegan shook her head at max. she liked to think that she knew a lot of what was going on, considering she had graduated from high school within the past two years. “it basically means you might have just gotten swindled. or you managed to do something that you thought you weren’t going to,” she said, though it was hard to say exactly what i meant. “but i personally like ‘zoomin’ the most. it’s fun to say.”

@daltxns

tegan’s mind had went through the night’s events, her mind coming up with all sort of different scenarios for when dalton woke up. letting him sleep until he woke up, she stood in her kitchen as she waited for her coffee to brew. knowing her luck, dalton wouldn’t remember anything that he said, and she would just have to continue on normally. sighing, she reached for a mug in the cabinet and started to pour herself some coffee.

dalton.

taking another few sips of his water, he nodded at what she said. “yeah, sure. tomorrow morning.” he agreed, even though he wasn’t sure if he would want to while sober. plus her response was ringing though his head, ‘kinda’, just over and over. “i can just go now. we can talk tomorrow. i … i think i can make it home just fine,” dalton said, trying his best to reassure her he was in a good state to make it home.

tegan could see the difference in dalton’s demeanor, but she knew that discussing what had happened while he was intoxicated probably wasn’t the best idea. “no, no. you can stay here,” she protested, not wanting him to leave, especially in the state he was in. “and we can just talk whenever you wake up.”
