Damien didn’t have a destination in mind, he just rode around town for a while, trying to sort through whatever the fuck he was feeling.

Eric sighed, shaking his head like he was trying to dislodge some thoughts, looking down to realize he filled most of the page without notice.

Before he knew it, Damien was back at his apartment, hardly remembering the ride. He rubbed his face with both hands.

"Fine, I spent the night at Damien's, okay!" He said. "Some bastard slipped something in his drink and I didn't want a repeat of my sister…"

God, his mind was a mess. Kira kept casually mentioning therapy, and Damien knew she was probably right, but he liked handling his own problems. It was easy to talk to Eric… gah, no, stop it

Eric closed the notebook, holding his head in his hands. "Feelings are stupid, and I hate them."

Damien didn’t want to go back in, but he had no where to be, and didn’t want to bother any of his band mates. What am I supposed to do now?

Eric leaned against Johnny, closing his eyes. "Can shit just make sense?"

Damien just sat on his motorcycle outside the apartment building. He didn’t know what to do with himself on a Saturday morning.
“Ughh,” he groaned, rubbing his face.

Eric walked into the bar, laughing along with Jack as they beelined for their usual booth.

(i’m back!)

Damien pulled up outside and took a breath.
Its fine, Kari is here, nobody’s gonna mess with you

((Hi!))

Eric sat down, smiling slightly, eyes scanning the room.

Striding inside, a grin pasted on his face, Damien enters the club. Immediately, he takes in the crowd looking for someone…
Where is he? I mean she. Yeah. Kari.

Eric glanced to the door, seeing Damien. He quickly snapped his head back, cheeks turning red.

"Dude, what's up with you? You've been off all day."

"It's nothing, Jackie-boy."

Finally, Damien spots Eric, who is talking to his band mate. He feels an odd rush of disappointment, but tries to shake it off, turning to look for Kari.
Just ‘cause you promised him a beer doesn’t mean he wants to spend time with you.

Eric shook his head slightly. "Look, it's nothing, just leave it alone."

Spotting Kari at a table near the stage, Damien headed over with a wave, trying to keep himself from looking back over at Eric.

"Dude, you're blushing over Damien. Something is up. What happened last night?"

"Nothing happened!"

“Kari!”

“Dude, where the fuck did you go last night?”

“Uhh, home…”

“How? I thought the stand-in was your ride?”

"Bullshit."

"Honest! It was a weird night, but nothing happened!"

"Sure, Eric, I'll buy it."

"Shut it, you sarcastic fuck."

“So, I, uh, might have ridden home with Eric..”

“Eric? Like your hot-but-annoying frontman rival Eric?”

“Oh my god shut up, Kira, what if someone heard you? And… yeah.”

“Holy shit, dude.”

"Fine, okay, I gave him a ride home last night!" He said, giving in.

"What? I thought you hated him!"

"A little louder, would ya? I don't think everyone else quite heard you."

"Details. Now."

“It’s not a big deal, Kira. He saw me stumbling, and helped me out.”

“Dude. You got roofied again, that kinda bad.”

“Ugh I shouldn’t have told you.”

“I’m your best friend and resident badass, you should obviously tell me this shit.”

"There isn't that much to tell."

"Then why were you apparently not home all fucking night?"

"…Okay, so he may have talked me into staying the night, but nothing actually happened."

"What?"

“How the fuck did you pull that of, Dami?”

“I just… asked? It was late, he helped me, and I asked him to stay.”

Kira wiggled her eyebrows with a grin.

“Oh my god. Get your mind out of the gutter!”
