Awsten needed a break. Geoff had been working all week and Awsten had been studying hard while Geoff was out. Awsten knew Gee had been neglected slightly and felt bad.

With a sigh Awsten checked the time. 16:05. He took a moment to appreciate his lock screen. Geoff had taken him for ice cream and decided that his best friend needed a makeover. This makeover consisted of ice cream and strawberry sauce all over his nose. Of course being the nice brotherly friend he was, Geoff took a quick picture and shared it with everyone he knew.  

"You wanna go for walkies?" The young man asked the hyper puppy. Gee barked and wagged his tail. "I'll take that as a yes then." Awsten muttered.

"Gee!" He called. The dog jumped up and licked his face in response. "Not you. Geoff!" Awsten shouted again.

"Yeah?" A voice replied, floating downstairs. "You wanna take Gee out for a walk?" The blue boy asked. He cocked his head to the side and ignored the Labrador who had started leaping around at the word 'walk' and his name in the same sentence.

"Sure. One second!" Geoff shouted back. He quickly closed down the flower website and logged of the computer.

By the time he had tumbled down to the bottom of the stairs, two pairs of sparkling yet curious eyes started down at him.

"Did you just fall down the stairs?" Awsten raised an eyebrow. Sheepishly Geoff stood up and avoided the question by tugging on his shoes.

"Geoff?"

"Yeah, I kinda did." The brunette said with a little laugh. "Well done." Awsten laughed. He clipped on Gee's lead while Geoff searched for the house keys.

"Hey Aws, where are the keys?" Geoff asked, finally giving up. "Um in the bowl on top of the drawers where you put them last night." The blue boy told him.

"Oh yeah."

Awsten snorted which, for some reason, Geoff found adorable and seriously cute. "How much did you drink last night?"

"I hardly drank anything." Geoff protested in an attempt to defend himself.

"So why did you look like you'd just been hit by several vans, raped, murdered and then brought back to life this morning?" Awsten asked with a frown. He folded his arms and watched Geoff squirm under his gaze.

"Fine! I might have drunk more than I said but it affected me more because first of all I was mixing my drinks and second of all...JawnhadweedandIwasbored." Geoff desperately tried to cover up the end.

"We've all tried weed at one point but if you become addicted then you have to keep your door shut and buy a shit ton of Febreeze," Awsten instructed. "I really don't wanna get hooked again." He looked down.

With a sad smile, Geoff circled his arms around the smaller man and held him close. "I promise you I won't and I will never put you in a position where you feel uncomfortable. Neither will Otto or Jawn, ok?"

"Ok." Awsten nodded, hugging him back. Geoff closed his eyes and dropped a soft, light kiss on his hair but backed out of the hug before Awsten realized.

Awsten tried not to whine at the loss of contact but quickly picked up Gee's lead and left the house, Geoff followed closely behind.

"Do you think we could be able to teach Gee how to swim?" Awsten asked spontaneously. "I think you have a better chance of becoming president than teaching him how to swim. Have you seen him around water? He's scared to even drink it."

"True." Awsten hummed in agreement. "And don't even get me started on washing him." Geoff continued.

"Shut the fuck up. You've been out everytime he's needed washing so you can't talk." Awsten argued. Geoff just snorted and shoved his face away.

"Ha you fell." He giggled like a thirteen you old while Awsten regained his balance. "Shut your face or you'll personally introduce yourself to the next car that drives past," Awsten threatened.

"Bitch."

-

"Put your camera away!" Awsten growled, swatting his hand.  He soon realised his fatal mistake and quickly tightened his grip around the thick wood keeping him alive.

"Ok well I'm gonna let you get yourself out of this and go save Gee from drowning." Geoff shouted. "No!" Awsten panicked. "I need you to catch me if I fall."

"Awsten you're like three meters off the ground, get down." The brunette sighed. He looked around for Gee and spotted him dancing by the river. "Shit." He whispered, racing to save the stupid Labrador leaving Awsten trembling on a thick branch.

The blue haired boy gulped audibly and glanced down. He whimpered and squeezed his eyes shut; it was a long way down.

In reality it was only, like Geoff said, about three meters but high up in a tree your perspective is screwed and your brain tells you things you don't wanna hear.

Taking a deep breath Awsten decided to stop being a pussy and inch his way towards the trunk. Once close to the centre, he proceeded to shuffle to the branches he had used to climb up.

After several minutes and mini peptalks, Awsten found himself on solid ground. With a sigh of relief he flopped to the floor and spread across it as much as possible trying to, do what can only be described as, give it a hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." He chanted, littering the ground with kisses. The thought that it was most likely covered in shit and piss (whether it was animal or human) completely escaped his mind; Awsten was just glad to be alive.

"Hey look. Maybe it finally killed itself. Chad, poke it and see if it's dead." A nasally, high pitched whine emitted from above him.

Awsten twisted his body around and looked up to see a face that haunted his every dream and a boot hovering above his face.

Quick time he rolled out the way before the muscular mountain could squash him with his foot. Furrowing his brow, he stood up and folded his arms.

"What do you want Ci?"

"I want to apologise." She said. Her lips parted and her mouth morphed into a toothy grin. "Really?" Awsten asked, hope prominent in his tone.

"Yeah, really." Ciara nodded. "I wanna apologise to your parents for having to put up with you, I wanna apologise to Geoff for ruining his life to stand by you, God knows why, and lastly," she stepped closer and pulled him into a tight embrace. "I wanna apologise to you for being a worthless piece of shit and a waste of space." Ciara whispered in his ear. "I have no idea why I picked you, you've done nothing but made my mental health worse and made me want to die. Fuck you Awsten Knight."

Ciara's words turned to fake sobs and she stepped back, letting the man go. With a loud cry she ran off, covering her face with her hands to hide the obvious grin. Her bodyguard glared at Awsten and ran after her, arms stiffly by his side.

If Awsten hadn't been dying inside he would've found the situation hysterical. Had he really fucked up her mental health? He was so selfish! The whole time he had made the situation about him when she had been suffering all along.

Taking several steps backwards, he collided with the trunk of the tree and slid down to the ground. Where was Geoff when he needed him? Maybe Ciara was right and maybe Geoff had finally come to his senses and left him.

-

"Hey, Aws what happened?" He took in his best friend and his heart broke. Stained red eyes, tear streaks down his rosy cheeks and bottom lip quivering.

"Why do you care? Why did you even come back? You shouldn't have. You should've just left while you had the chance."

"What are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here with you." Geoff was confused. He crouched down beside his friend and lifted Awsten's chin.

"You didn't leave?" Awsten was surprised. "Of course not. I went to find Gee and stop him from killing himself." The brunette gestured to the Labrador who sat next to Awsten, licking his paws.

"What's going on Aws?" Geoff's tone was soft and caring.

"Ci...Ciara. She was with some dude and shit talking. She said I was worthless and...and no one loved me and that you were just gonna leave me." He cried. He wasn't sure why he was being so truthful but he knew he could trust Geoff.

Meanwhile Geoff was struggling to stay calm. "That motherfucker is gonna feel what happens when you talk shit about my best friends." The brunette growled with a  glare whilst wiping away Awsten's tears.

"No Geoff please. Just leave her." Awsten begged, scratching Gee's ears to help calm them both. "Ugh fine, but only 'cause you asked." Geoff gave in and stood up, offering Awsten his hand.

The younger took it gratefully and signalled for Gee to follow them. The Labrador barked and trotted along behind, jumping up at butterflies that wandered into his path.

-

"Otto I need two shots of vodka and a muffin." Geoff ordered as he walked through the door. Otto laughed and pulled out a blueberry muffin and two bottles of HEB orange juice.

Awsten tied up Gee outside and gave him a quick kiss before entering the cafe. He took up his usual seat at the bar beside Geoff.

He gratefully took the muffin and juice offered to him with a smile. The muffin was warm and the blueberries melted in his mouth. It was contrasted with the ice cold juice needed in the blistering heat.

"Fank Ottew." Awsten was muffled by a mouthful of blueberry. "I'm sorry what was that?" His friend asked with a laugh, sliding over a letter. Awsten shot him the finger and grabbed the paper.

"You really don't need her ya know?" Geoff commented, taking a sip of the orange liquid. "You can do so much better Aws. I mean, Gee is proof of that. He loves you more than that STD ever could."

Awsten giggled and blushed. Otto grinned and continued to clean glasses. "I'm serious dude, you'll be fine. We got your back."

"Hell yeah we do." Grace agreed surprising everyone. "Where the fuck did you come from?" Otto gasped, clutching his chest.

"The...door?" She pointed to the closing door behind her. She leant over the counter to kiss her bae and plonked down beside Geoff.

They immediately started up an argument from the previous week which somehow Otto was dragged in against his will. Awsten shook his head at them and opened up the letter, glancing quickly at his roomate.

He thought about how much Geoff had done for him. Without a second thought he had moved in, he'd helped the younger get over his shitty ex. He'd bought food, payed rent, bought a fucking dog and done it all without complaining.

He had also taken Awsten to countless (secret) therapy appointments and juggled work shifts on top of it. He had done so much for Awsten and the blue boy felt his heart race. Geoff was mesmerising to Awsten. His eyes captured his attention everytime and his smile was contagious.

The natural blue felt his heart flutter as Geoff looked away from Grace and winked at him before returning back to his point. Awsten quickly scanned the letter before shoving it in his pocket. Muffins and Geoff were more important than some weird Moth-Person hybrid.

Dear Awsten,

I am transfixed by your magnificence. Beauty radiates from your core, spreading around the room like a butterfly...no a bird spreading it's wings.

Angels sing whenever you smile and a symphony of sweet strings dances behind you when you walk.

...

Did any of that make sense? It was my new attempt of using description to explain what I feel about you but not in an emotional way if you know what I mean, I certainly don't.

Oh well, hope you found it at least a little entertaining,

Moth people xox
