"Come on, hurry up you loser," Caspian whispered huskily and impatiently under his breath.

I tried my luck at opening the register where I used to work, the new employee sleeping in the break room.

The drawer popped open and I took the cash out, trying to be as quiet as possible.

"300? or 4?" I whispered to Caspian who was studying the cigarettes behind us, moving his hand around as if he was going to pick one but found something better.

"I said, 300 or 400?" I nudged Caspian in the ribs with my elbow, causing him to jerk upwards and turn his attention towards me.

"The fuck, I told you 400," he repeated and slipped the cigarettes in his pocket.

Swiftly, I folded the cash and slipped it inside my own pocket, patting it to make sure it was secure.

The break room door creaked open in the background. Caspian went on alert like a dog, pushing my head down towards the floor. I caved in to his forceful touch, lowering to the ground faster than I ever though possible.

He followed down after me, putting his index finger up to his lips to remind me to stay quiet.

"Who's there?" A female voice spoke.

We didn't say anything, or move at all. I heard the footsteps descend back towards the break room, the door finally shutting again.

"Run," Caspian mumbled, hopping up onto his feet with an energetic spring, quietly maneuvering out of the store.

"What?" I said, confused about what he was doing. I peeked my head over the counter and watched him, realizing I should be following him.

Without his same amount of energy, I walked out of the store, standing on the side walk to look both ways. I started walking faster in the direction I thought he went, my heart thumping inside my chest like a drum. Everything was dark and muggy.

"Over here, Speedy Gonzalez."

Caspian was smoking a cigarette in an alley.

"How did you get here so fast?" I was out of breath and unable to do anything but sit down. The cement was wet and cold.

I admired how gracefully Caspian smoked his cigarette despite the amount of sprinting he just did.

"I ran," He chuckled and casually leaned against the wall, "we did it, now you got your money for the week."

Caspian grabbed my arm and pulled me back up from the cement. I groaned in slight exhaustion as he helped me. He was smiling wide, obviously proud of our crime.

"The week? More like the month," I choked out a laugh and felt the wad of cash in my pocket.

"Whatever, let's celebrate." Caspian was still holding my arm, pulling me in whichever direction he beginning to wander. We exited the alley and I just followed, his hand clasped around my wrist.

"Wait, shouldn't I take this cash home first?"

Caspian turned around and stared at me with big, wide eyes. He let go of my arm briefly, only to stare at me harder with wider eyes. "That's where we're going, dumbass."

I shrugged and kept following him, my heart still racing, only not as fast. I was unable to figure out where I was going even though he told me, thanks to the adrenaline in my veins, everything seemed blurry. We reached my house and Caspian leaned against the front fence.

"Put your money away. I'll be here," he nodded towards the door, sending me off with his hand.

"No, come in with me," I said back.

This time I grabbed his hand, and pulled him up the stairs to my house. The lights were relatively dim and the door was unlocked. Nobody leaves the door unlocked.

Upon entering the house, Levi and Gina were fully naked, having sex on our couch.

"LEVI!" I naturally screamed at the sight and turned around to face the door just to look away. I was standing almost chest to chest with Caspian.

"Don't go in there, they're having sex," I whispered to Caspian who was peeking around my body to see.

He started hysterically laughing, clutching his stomach as he pointed, "This is great, you guys!"

Casp pushed past me, two strong arms moving me aside. He was looking at Levi and Gina, who were staring back at us with a blanket covering them, a mixture of embarrassment and surprise on their faces.

"It's you, asshole!" Gina exclaimed when she saw Caspian, standing up with the blanket wrapped around her body. She pointed an accused finger at Caspian.

"Hell yeah, It's me," Caspian extended his arms to the sides, pointing at himself.

"I don't like you," Gina said harshly, grabbing her clothes and walking into the bathroom. Levi smacked his hand against his forehead, another blanket covering him.

"Sorry," I said quietly, making my way to the kitchen where we keep our extra money.

Levi shook his head in response while I walked past.

Caspian stood at the door, suddenly looking annoyed like usual.

I safely put the money in the drawer, locking it up.

Caspian went out the door, and I told Levi we were going out. He told me the kids were at their bowling lessons and Lilly cried for an hour over not wanting to go.

Caspian started walking, moving in a familiar direction. I followed him, realizing we were going to the bar again.

Once in the alley, he knocked on the cellar door and the same man as before let us inside. There weren't as many people this time.

"Why does this have to be so secretive?" I yelled once we entered the bar. Caspian and I sat down to get some drinks.

"Long story," He shouted back.

The bartender gave us three shots each, and some sort of mixed drink. Caspian handed him 100 dollars.

I watched the bartender take the money and count it, my mind in disbelief. I'd be lucky to have that money for groceries, let alone spending it on alcohol.

"We're going to celebrate," Caspian told the bartender, who winked in return. I saw Caspian smirk a little.

"This is how we're celebrating, right?" I pointed to the drinks on the bar, just to clarify.

Caspian shook his head, taking all three of his shots afterwards, never answering my question verbally.

I followed his actions and took all of my shots, feeling comfort in the strong alcohol burning down my throat.

I smiled at the bartender and slammed my shot glass down onto the counter, feeling really good about myself.

Soon, there were three more shots in front of us that we each took.

Between shots, Caspian would wrap his arm around my shoulder or put his hand on my knee. I didn't mind, and since we were in a gay bar I thought he was just protecting me from perverts.

Caspian looked at me mischeviously, grabbing my hand instead of my knee. He stood up and I followed him, both of us standing face to face. He began to walk back into the bathroom, his grip on my hand tighter than I thought it would be.

Inside, he locked the bathroom door and pushed me up against the cold tile wall. He looked at me with sober eyes, although I knew we were both drunk.

"I like you. I like being with you and I like everything about you," Caspian spoke to me a bit quieter than usual, probably because we were locked in the bathroom drunk.

I immediately felt my heart beating faster, and the heat of his body came closer to mine, practically melting my skin.

Before I could say anything, our lips joined together flawlessly. His shirt came off first with the help of my trailing fingers.

He didn't hesitate to pull my shirt off next, the air against my chest causing my senses to heighten.

Soon, we were both naked in a bathroom in a secret underground gay bar making out. What happened next is rather, well, predictable.
