'your secret is safe with me' — for your choice!
hehe

Despite his usual company, Mikey wasn't really a party guy. He much preferred to hang in someone's basement or living room and smoke instead of going to a rager with every other teen in Kildare.
But he was at a rager regardless, because he was trying to get back into his friend's good graces.
That didn't mean he was having fun, however.
It was too loud, and everyone was too much, too drunk to care about the people around them. Nova and Kie had some poor schmuck between them as they argued about something mundane and definitely not worth arguing over. The guy looked ready to off himself, which as someone who had been present for a few Nova vs Kie arguments, Mikey knew it probably wasn't an overreaction. John B was nursing a beer, smiling to himself, lost in thought. Mikey's heart still skipped at the sight of him and he forced his gaze away. Pope was talking to some guy with a buzzcut, gesturing wildly with his hands, completely unaware of the fact that the guy was ready to eat him whole.
And JJ was nowhere to be seen, which was never a good sign.
Sighing and getting to his feet, Mikey knew he would have to be the one to find him. If he didn't, who knows what could happen?
He stood there for a moment, trying to think of the most likely places for a wild JJ Maybank to be.
His first thought – at the keg – was a bust, as he glanced over and didn't see anyone except Mindy Parker who he'd made out with once at the end of freshman year and really didn't want a repeat of.
Sighing again, he knew what he had to do.
"Yo, JB!" He called, walking over to him. John B looked up, mid swig, and greeted him with a raised eyebrow. "You seen JJ?"
John B set down his beer, eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed as he thought. "No, not since we came in. But he's JJ, he's probably, like, hooking up with some girl somewhere. He'll show up."
Mikey wrinkled his nose. He wished he could have that same faith in JJ that he had. It wasn't that he didn't trust JJ, he just.. He was a loose cannon and anything could happen when he was unaccounted for. Honestly, even when he was accounted for.
"'M gonna go try and find him," he said, tapping John B on the shoulder. As he turned, John B grabbed his wrist, holding him in place. It was a gentle hold, nothing like the hands he'd had wrapped around him as of late.
He turned back to face him, and John B let go, sending him an easy smile. "You good, Mike?"
Mikey tried to match his easy affection. "Yeah. 'M good."
"Good." John B smiled again. "Let me know if you find him, and if you need to hide a body or something."
Mikey laughed, sending him a nod.
He turned again, walking away for real this time. If John B was right and JJ was hooking up with someone, they would probably have snuck off to be alone. There was a smattering of trees around them, cosplaying as the woods, which is probably where he would go if he was hooking up with someone.
With a burst of determination, he marched into the trees.
+
He found three separate couples in various stages of hooking up before he heard JJ's familiar voice.
"Has anyone told you that you're beautiful?"
And, wow, that wasn't something Mikey thought he'd ever hear from JJ? JJ who called girls "chicks" and bragged about banging them – Though Mikey had never actually seen any proof of this, if he was being honest – wasn't the kind of guy who called girls beautiful.
"You're so.. greasy."
And that's probably because he wasn't talking to a girl.
He saw the back of JJ's head, squinting into the incoming darkness, and sure enough, there he was. Church Boy, wrapped in JJ's arms. He was giggling as JJ kissed him, obviously lovestruck. It was cute. Or he was cute, Mikey didn't really feel the same affection for JJ.
JJ's mouth traveled down his jaw to his neck and Edgar's entire body loosened, his eyes fluttering closed.
Mikey felt a splash of panic, like water to the face. He wasn't about to be the weirdo who watched his friends make out. That was crossing a huge line.
He stepped back, turning to leave, crushing a stick under his heel. Fuck.
Edgar's eyes flew open, and JJ jumped away from him.
"Uh, hey guys?"
Without so much as another word, JJ booked it out of the trees, leaving Mikey and Edgar in silence.
"Oh, no," Edgar said, frowning.
Mikey's body locked up as he floundered for something to say. "I.. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to, like, ruin your moment. I was just looking for JJ and, uh, I found him! And– Oh my God, I'm sorry, dude."
Edgar ran a hand through his hair (which, regrettably, made Mikey's panicked brain go HotHotHot) and picked up JJ's phone from the ground. "We should head back."
Mikey didn't argue, following him back to the party, praying the ground would eat him the entire time.
+
He somehow managed to make the party even worse for himself, which was sort of impressive.
Now he had to deal with people and their drunkenness and John B existing in his vicinity and feeling like shit because Edgar and JJ were staying fifty feet away from each other.
He was having a rough night.
Edgar walked over to him, holding an unopened can of soda and JJ's stuff. "Can you, uh, give these to him? He's probably gonna be skittish for the rest of the night."
Mikey bit the inside of his cheek, but nodded, accepting JJ's things. "Yeah." Dropping the phone into his pocket with his own, he said, "I'm sorry, by the way. Like genuinely. I know.. I know that it's hard to get those moments alone and I didn't mean to take one from you."
Edgar shrugged. "Es aqua pasada," He waved him off, "Water under the bridge."
It didn't feel like it, but Mikey wasn't about to argue with him. "Well, you know, your secret is safe with me."
Edgar smiled, bumping their shoulders together. "Thanks."
Mikey nodded, nudging him back. "No problem, man."
"Mikey!" John B shouted, walking up to them with JJ under his arm. "Look who I found!"

Well for those who think of Doomsday that way. And they're more lock they can go to the inlet of Gamera, at lake Okeechobee and jump in to raise a monster that breathes fire and we'll just walk all over Florida crushing everything it's a dinosaur that mutated after the original dinosaurs into a gigantic beast and sank hundreds of miles down due to its mass and density once it froze it exceeded the weight of most asteroids. Once the blood trickles down and reaches it it starts thawing and it's absorbing the blood due to being completely dried out and it's fine as is thine air is formed as you know and it's shrinking ice expands when it's shrinking and it's absorbing blood it's creating a vort and creates a vortex and if you go into the mouth with it all of the innards and more start sucking down whatever it is and it becomes like a toilet bowl because it sucks so fast and so hard and creates a huge vortex massive and sometimes they're out of control usually they're so big that no shift can counter it sometimes with the monster the size of lake Okeechobee The vortex can be 10 mi at the base and would start sucking houses in 100 mi away and if out of control Miami it could be gone in 10 minutes would be up in the air and we would be dumped into the ocean and would fill it up from here to Cuba and make a land bridge with debris

Yikes. You're pretty scary guy and that was horrific and we already have a gear company time of your company names like Elektra and she wants to join up and have a company and this woman has storm that's weird cuz storm could be like gear to like weather the storm.

They say guarantee it's a monster he doesn't look like a monster on real satellite imagery and it's the deep part of the lake in the same yeah those are also the teenage mutant Ninja turtles and your children might survive to see them straight down the human size and we're in kung fu by kidnapping David carradine and what a joke that guy is huh cork. We believe is a huge loser I want to see those kegs down there and we're going to bring barrels and jugs and we'll have to control it and what you say is to put a big huge trough underneath it they'll go out to the side and be like steel so people can just split out of there if it gets dirty that's their problem we get that it's a good idea and put up a little higher.
