3Drinkz was sitting on a red cushion on a silver chair in the gloomy bar when he heard an uplifting and motivational audio from the side of the room, everyone else bumping to the sound.
Now he wasn’t gonna lie; the song was good. He was just wondering who would play such a happy song in a depressing place? Not like he was complaining— it made him feel much better, but nobody is ever so cheerful, and it was wonderful just somebody’s voice could do that.
He walked over to the radio and saw a slightly taller guy. “Hey, were you the one who put on this song? It’s amazing.” He slurred, slightly tipsy.
“Yeah! This is my song. You like it?” The man asked him, “I love it.” 3Drinkz whispered, “My name’s Ned Flames AKA Fox Szn. I’ve been trying to make it to the billboards.” Ned reached out his hand and the other shook it, “I’m 3Drinkz. I’m seriously wondering… how did you get your song on the radio? These guys NEVER let this type of music on.” The dark haired boy chuckled, “Don’t kill me (no pun intended), I told them I might die tonight. Anything to be mainstream, am I right?” They had a good laugh together. “Keep it up. I know you’ll make it someday.” 3Drinkz swung his arm around Fox Szn’s neck.
Ned could tell he was lightweight since he’s secretly been sneaking a few peaks at him from across the bar. He only had a few shots.
”Damn. Those drinks hit me HARD. Can i get another shot? I’ll do anything.” 3Drinkz begged, “Another one? I don’t think i should, you seem drunk. Good stuff, though. I know.” Ned smiled, and smirked a little more when seeing that 3Drinkz seemed a little more happy next to him. “Stuff? Why don’t you just curse? You scared?” He chuckled, “Gotta go to church tomorrow. Live tonight like it’s our last night, yet keep faith.” Fox Szn murmured, still walking to the car. “I love myself a man of faith.” Ned blushed a little but ignored the comment to stay away from embarrassing himself furthur.
Five minutes later, they got to his car. “C’mon. Let’s hop in.” Fox Szn helped 3Drinkz get into the seat. He got into the drivers seat and began to drive but stopped shortly after, “Where’s your stop?” He waited.
And waited.
And waited…
”Hello?!” He turned around to realize 3Drinkz was passed out, comfortable in the passenger seat. He wiped sweat off his forehead and just decided he’d drive to his house and explain in the morning.
Ned hopped out of the car when they were at the destination and threw 3Drinkz onto his back, locked the car, and walked into his house.
Fox Szn decided that if he left 3Drinkz in the guest room, he could have a chance of being startled so he put him in the bed next to him and then slept in the one next to his.
3Drinkz dreamt of Garett__nolan. “Guys raised by their dads:” “guys raised by Donatella VERSACE 💜:” he watched in horror and started to hyperventilate. It was startling. Really startling. The guys raised by Donatella Versace made him shake. He was sweating. “P-please… no.”
”Not G-garett__nolan…” He started to cry, he covered his eyes in fear. Tears were streaming down his cheeks violently.
”Fox Szn… N-Ned… Ned Flames… help…”
“Oh my gosh— what do I do… call the police? Call daddy? He’ll bail me out. Why me..” Ned put his hands on his head.
3Drinkz rubbed his eyes and woke up covered in sweat, “What’s wrong?” He mumbled but then he saw who was in front of him; “W-wait… who are you?!”
”I’m Ned Flames AKA Fox Szn from the bar last night. You don’t remember me, do you?” He asked. Of course i remember you… it’s embarrassing, you were so kind and charming… You were pretty, and so memorable, you were in my dream.
”Uhm… yeah, I think I do.” He scratched his neck, “Okay, thats good… you were hyperventilating and crying in your sleep. I was scared I did something wrong.” Ned sighed full of relief.
”Nah, i’m good. It was just a dream.” He smiled at the concern of Ned. “I’m glad.” Fox Szn smiled back.
Ned walked away and hopped into the shower to get ready for Church. 3Drinkz borrowed some clothes and got ready in the other room. “So you’re a man of your word, huh?” He finished putting on the clothes. “I am.” Ned walked out, fully dressed and ready. “Let’s head out.” 3Drinkz nodded in response.
If he was being honest, yesterday may have been the best day of the boys life, meeting Fox Szn.
