Butterbeer And Apologies [Bayne, Bryn]

[lukas]

Hmmm. Now there was a nice change. Granted, the older male was right, it wasn't something that others didn't do, but it was pleasant all the same. Very much so, because even with their lips pressed against one another, the kiss was gentle and sweet. He could taste beer on the others breath, but that thought was quickly drowned out by the way the others lips moved against his. Well well, Mr Bayne Williams was a good kisser. A very good kisser.

Lukas pressed himself a bit closer, though there wasn't much closer to go at this current point in time. Still. He looped his arms around the brunettes neck, sincerely hoping that the other wasn't about to pull back and tease him any longer, because hell, he was enjoying this way more than he should. In fact, he was contemplating doing very naughty things to someone that hadn't even been his friend a few hours ago.

But wasn't that the way it usually went? He'd find someone for the night, snog him, take him back to his bed, and entertain him until the stars were replaced by the sun. It wasn't often that he kissed someone without this intention, and it was quite different knowing that Bayne was most likely going to decline his offer, but for now, Lukas just wanted to kiss him deeply. So he parted his lips, sliding his tongue down the others bottom lip in invitation.

[Bayne Williams]

As Luke pressed himself closer, Bayne slipped his arm around his waist, helping him to be closer. It was a surprise the fact Luke was kissing him back, surprising but nice. He lifted his hand he ran it through Luke's hair, pulling him as close as he could. He was being gentle, or as gentle as he could allow himself. He knew, in both of their current states this could get dangerous, but Bayne was sober enough to hopefully, not let it get that far. Bayne followed Luke's lead, exploring Luke's lips and his tongue with his own. Unfortunatly, they werent going to be left alone for long.

"Bayne?"

The voice was soft and wary. With a groan, he stopped kissing Luke and looked up. His eyes fell on a friend of his, he looked worried. "What? Is something wrong?" The guy nodded, Bayne's brow furrowed. It was odd, Bayne had suddenly gone from being playful to serious. "Is Lisha... Braeden's hurt her... he's finished with her... she's devastated... she needs you." Bayne frowned, Lisha had been his best friend since starting Hogwarts, he couldnt just leave her. He looked back to Luke, gave him an apologetic smile, brushed his hair with his fingers, and planted one last quick kiss on the younger boy. "I'm sorry Luke... But I have to go"

With that, Bayne jumped up and let the boy lead him out of the room of requirement and to find Lisha.

[lukas]

Luke was happily snogging Bayne when all of a sudden, this random bloke popped up, claiming his attention. The blonde actually whined when their lips were parted, chewing on his bottom lip as he looked at the older male. As attractive as his being serious and caring was, it was rather unfortunate that he'd have to be taken away at a time like this. But Lukas knew that he couldn't do a thing to stop him, nothing that wouldn't be seen as clingy or unattractive, at least. So he let him go, allowing the other to press a last kiss to his lips, and just giving him a smile as he left to find the girl who needed him so much.

Falling back on the couch, he groaned, bringing a new beer to his lips and swallowing down half the contents in a long, single gulp. That had been a good kiss, one that made him want to grab the other and engage in long, rhythmic activities. Which he was never going to tell Bayne about. A snog was one thing, offering up sexual favors quite another. Even if it had been a proper kiss, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal. It wasn't supposed to be different from any other person he'd kissed.

[Bryn Kennedy]

Bryn had been leaving Luke and Bayne to their own devices and for a while he had been watching them. Of course, once he was sure Bayne and Luke would get along he finally began to enjoy the party himself. He had managed to meet a girl too, they hadnt done anything, they hadnt even kissed but they had spent most the night talking. It made a change, but as he looked he saw Bayne being lead out of the RoR by someone else, someone that wasnt Luke. He smiled at the girl and said "I'll be back in a bit."

Making his way over to Luke, he saw him looking slightly disgruntled. Sitting down next to him he picked up one of the bottles on the table and drained some of it. "Where's Bayne going?" Bryn asked, sitting facing Luke, his arm resting on the back of the couch, his eyebrow raised in question. It was odd to see Bayne speaking to Luke all night and the suddenly dissapearing with someone else.

[lukas]

Lukas was contemplating whether or not he should head to bed, or possibly find someone else to spend the night with, since it was unlikely that his newfound friend would be coming back from his important job. He found that he was oddly enough not really looking forward to finding someone that would give him the time of his life for the night, and that worried him. It wasn't like him to sit here, waiting for someone to come back and pay attention to him again, so when Bryn plopped down next to him, he couldn't help feeling a bit better.

In fact, part of him wanted to kiss Bryn, just to prove to himself that he wasn't solely attracted to Bayne. Which, even he knew, would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. And yet, it was also the one time that he could do this and get away with his balls still where they belonged, seeing as he was incredibly drunk.

Contemplating this, he smiled at his friend, downing the rest of his beer. "He had to help someone. She broke up with someone, or something. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, bro" He also had no idea just how many beers he'd had, though he was sure to be in the double digits by now.

[Bryn Kennedy]

Bryn went 'ahh' when Luke told him where Bayne had gone. Typical Bayne, always rushing off to help someone. "Probaby Lisha. She's been having relationship problems for a while and she is his best friend so its understandable why he left." Bryn smiled at Luke, hoping his friend didnt feel so bad. He'd given both of them time alone tonight, and honestly, shoving them together wasnt his idea. Of course, he'd need to tell her what happened or she'd badger him for ages. If she'd have come she would have seen for herself but she wanted to go swimming instead.

Bryn had drank quite a lot tonight too, he also didnt know how many but he knew his reactions were slower and was sure he was slightly slurring. He found himself laughing at a couple in the corner who were so drunk they couldnt stand up, they ended up falling over and surprisingly, they didnt spill their beer and they didnt stop kissing. "Now thats talent."

Bryn looked around, he had a feeling Bayne might come back but he couldnt be sure. He was sure however that if he did Luke would be happy. He was sat here with a look on his face that told Bryn all too clearly he hadnt wanted Bayne to go. Of course, he could be wrong.

[lukas]

Fuck it. He was just going to go for it. Bayne was...Bayne was too good, in every sense. He was nice and clean cut and sweet and adorable and he so wasn't the right person for Lukas Clarke. And besides, Bryn. Just. Bryn. He was here, smelling ridiculously good despite of the many drinks he'd had, and yeah. Fuck it. He was just going to do it, and whatever happened, happened. Chances were, the two of them wouldn't remember anything in the morning anyway.

"Talent..." Lukas slurred a little, giggling a bit as he twirled a strand of hair around his fingers. "I'll show you talent" It was said softly, the blonde leaning over far enough to land himself in Bryns lap for the moment, hands finding an unsteady place around the other boys shoulders. He didn't give either of them the time to respond, lunging forward those final few inches to press his lips to Bryns.

The blonde could care less about Bayne in that moment. Maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to do, but as much as he'd wanted the brunette - and for the record, yes, right before kissing Bryn, he had wanted the older male - there was nothing that came close to the feeling of kissing his long time crush.

[Bryn Kennedy]

Bryn wasnt thinking about anything in particular. The beer had taken hold of him so it was pretty much 'tree pretty fire bad.' He could guess Luke liked Bayne more than he was willing to admit and he knew the thought of it would make Brooke leap with joy. She, like Bryn, had a soft spot for Luke. Seems both had taken on the job of looking after Luke. Luke was just Luke, he was Bryn's best friend and Brooke's toy. She liked to style his hair whenever Luke would sit still long enough.

"Yeh, s'what I said. Talent!" He was still looking at the couple who hadnt broke apart yet, his brows raising. Didnt they need to come up for air? He looked back at Luke who said something which didnt register at all in Bryn's mind. "Eh...?" Before Bryn knew what was happening Luke was in his lap, arms around his neck, resting on his shoulders. Bryn didnt have a clue what was happening, but before he could even ask, Luke's lips were on his.

Bryn's eyes were wide with confusion. What. The. Hell. Bryn's mind had completely stopped, he still didnt know what was happening even though Luke had kissed him. For a minute or it could have been five, Bryn reacted. He was drunk, Bryn tended to do anything when he was drunk. His hands were on Luke's legs, but as it hit him... Bryn stopped. Luke was kissing him, Bryn kissed back. Bryn was straight, Luke was Gay. Luke liked Bryn and Bryn did not want to give him the wrong idea.

Bryn folded one of his arms under Luke's legs, the other around his back and with his upper-body strength he removed the blonde from his lap and placed him back on the sofa next to him. Though Bryn was smiling, he still didnt have much of an idea of what just happened or why. "Luke... I love ya. You're my best mate but that's as far as it goes. I'm straight, you know that." And personally, it wasnt very fair on Bayne.

[lukas]

Lukas' eyes were blurred as he was heaved back into his original seat, and the blonde pouted a little. This was not how things were supposed to go, though he honestly had no idea what else he'd been expecting from the other male. To be fair, he'd gotten a a whole lot more than he ever expected, as for at least a minute, his best friend had responded to the kiss. It was just...mean, that's what it was, to have it being taken away from him again.

Knocking over a half empty bottle of butterbeer as he grabbed another from the table, he downed it in one go just to give himself something to do. "I love you too" Luke brightened up from just hearing it, even though his intoxicated mind blanked out on the rest of his sentence. It wasn't something he wanted to hear, drunk or sober, because deep down, underneath that exterior, he just...he just wanted to be loved, man. Was that so bad?

Closing his eyes for a minute, he tried to focus, tried to make his mouth move again, form words, but it was proving to be extremely difficult. In fact, he wanted little more than to pass out right here and now, give into that blissfull call of sleep that he'd kept ignoring for most of the evening. With all the drinks he'd downed, he was sure to forget most details of tonight, and hopefully, with it, the rejection that stung more than it should have. After all, he'd known it was coming, even before he decided to kiss him.

The blonde blinked hazily as he opened his eyes again, dropping the empty bottle to the floor before getting up on unsteady feet. He'd made it maybe three steps into the room before whirling around to face Bryn, though he never managed to get his sentence out before he dropped to the floor in an ungraceful sleeping heap.

[Bryn Kennedy]

Bryn watched with wary eyes once Luke was back in his own seat. He shouldnt have kissed Luke back like that, it might give him the wrong impression. When Luke said he loved him too, Bryn got a faint thought that maybe, just maybe, Luke didnt mean it in the same way Bryn did... and in all honesty... he wasnt sure how to deal with that. Bryn had never been in love, he didnt know what it was like and the thought terrified him. Sure, he liked Harriet, but she was also his good friend and more than half of him thought that wasnt going to go anywhere so it definatly couldnt lead to anything that may involve the words, I love you.

As Luke stood up, Bryn watched. Luke took three steps and turned around. He saw Bayne enter the door behind him and flash a smile at Bryn, to which Bryn felt suddenly very guilty. Bayne really liked Luke, Bryn had allowed Luke to kiss him not long after Bayne's departure. Sure, Bayne was a friend of his but Bayne was more friendly with Brooke, he trusted her. He had told Brooke that he'd liked Luke for ages and with Bryn's help Brooke and Bryn had plotted their get together and now, well... Bryn may well have gone and ruined it all.

It all happened very fast.

Luke was facing him, one minute he was standing the next he was falling. Bayne was quicker off the mark than Bryn was, having not drunk as much, and being stood pretty much directly behind Luke, Bayne was able to catch him before he fell and did himself an injury. Bryn let out a deep breath and smiled at Bayne who asked just how many Luke had had to drink. "More than his fair share... could you carry him? I'll probably drop him."
"Quidditch Captain's weak?" Bayne mocked.
"Quidditch Captain's drunk."

With Bayne's help, the two of them managed to get Luke to the dorms without being caught and into bed. It had been a long night, but overall, it had been an eventful one.
