Drabble – Jem/William/Tessa – Humour & Friendship.
I know this is really short, but I saw this prompt on imagineyourotp3. And like wow yeah I just had to write this and I thought I'd just be a cute short little hilarious moment between the three.
"Come on Tess, it's Friday night, were in the middle of nowhere and you're going to make us walk home half drunk at two in the morning?" William retorted, leaning his head half through the window, trying to convince her into giving him and Jem a ride home after a wild night out at the Pandemonium.
Tessa's shoulders sagged in defeat and she unlocked the doors allowing the two gentlemen- well at this point just men shuffle into the car, their tall bodies, squishing into the small space of her mini cooper. William saluted, motioning for her to drive, but then she looked at him pointedly and then to Jem who had already seemed to get it even in his drunk state.
"Oh seatbelt." William muttered, pulling the seatbelt over him and clicking it in, giving Tessa a teasing smile.
"If any of you vomit in my car, I. will. Kill. You." She said seriously before a killer grin came upon her face, but both boys knew to take her seriously. She had been saving up for this car for years, always eyeing it whenever she saw it around town, and only last month did she finally get it, and for a good price at that.
"Aye, aye captain." Jem exclaimed, laughing slightly before sighing. He was sitting in the back, right in the middle but behind Tessa and William. They'd been driving for about twenty minutes stuck in boredom and silence, that's when the song came on. The two boys had no idea what had overcome them, maybe it was the enormous amount of alcohol they had ingested only a few hours ago, or possibly the fact that Tessa had despised it ever since the first time she heard it. She said that the music rhythm was horrible and the lyrics didn't make sense to her. Jem and William both started singing at the same time, serenading Tessa in a sort of way… mostly just teasing her. When William noticed that Jem had the same idea, he turned his body slightly, facing Tessa's directly, and looked at Jem too, trying to hide the massive grin upon his lips.
"I got my eyes on you, you everything that I see, I want your hot, love and emotion endlessly." The two sang their voices surprisingly to Tessa more in tune than she'd thought. But then again, they were perfect at everything weren't they. She rolled eyes at the boys, but blushed at the same time too, not use to the attention.
"I can't get over you, you left your mark on me, I want your hot, love and emotion, endlessly. Cos you're a good girl and you know it." William pointed towards Jem, who sang the next verse, even including his own clap to the beat of the music coming out of the speakers in Tessa's car. Both of them hollered at Tessa clearly uncomfortable state, enjoying the moment.
"Guys, stop." Tessa said, biting her lip as she took a quick glance at William sitting across from her who looked like he was having the time of his laugh, his blue shirt was half unbuttoned, and the wind flew through his hair. That's when the car behind her beeped, and she looked forward at the green light and drove.
"Stop singing, it's distracting." Tessa mumbled, not even sure they could hear it over their own singing and the music flowing through the speakers of her small car.
"No, it's just our angelic voices, right Jem." William joked, running a hand through his dark hair as he stared at Tessa, taking in her every move. The way she bit her lip in frustration of their singing, and how she blushed when they sang the lyrics to her, a bright pink surging on her cheeks. He loved seeing her flustered like that… by the angel did it make him want to kiss her right then and there, but seeing as though she was driving and he was drunk it wasn't really a good idea.
"Of course it is William." Jem laughed, and then they both continued to sing the next verses. Tessa took tried to focus on driving, and then realised that she could just turn the radio off. Duh. Her left hand reached out to press the off button, effectively getting rid of the distraction. But just as she did, William put one of his hands on hers, freezing her movement and turned the music louder causing Tessa to mentally face palm. There was no way she was ever going to drive around a drunk William and Jem EVER again… at least not in this lifetime.
"You're my girl…" William sang along this time softer, reaching out to Tessa dramatically, causing her to swerve the wheel slightly, and then slap him on the arm. He just chuckled at her and she tried not to laugh at this behaviour but it was hard not to. Instead she focused on figuring out how long it would take to get the two to their apartment, and get them settled before heading off home herself and how long this song had been playing, it felt like it was going on forever.
"Oooh, Just hold on were going home. Just hold on were going home. It's hard to do these things alone. Just hold on were going home… home." This time neither of them sang the lyrics and all that met their ears was the sound of Drake's voice. William glanced back only to see Jem passed out in the backseat, his head resting on the side of the door completely asleep.
William leaned his head against the head rest, closing his eyes, this time humming to the music not energised enough to continue singing to Tessa no matter how much he loved the reaction he got out of it. She sighed, sort of glad that the two had fallen asleep, too tired to continue teasing her, but then again she did like the attention and mostly seeing those Jem and William both so happy. It was always a welcomed sight in her eyes, no matter the amount of embarrassment it caused on her part.
Soon enough she parked her car on the curb, and jumped out waking up William as he was less drunk and got him to help Jem out and into the apartment. She followed them in suit, tucking a very sleepy and cute drunk Jem into bed, stripping him off his pants and shirt, into a shorts and a t-shirt. Of course though William did that and not Tessa. In the meantime she was in the kitchen, brewing up a nice cup of tea for William and getting some pain killers and water for the morning, settling it on the side table in both boys' bedrooms. They were going to have very bad hangovers in the morning. She yawned, tired from the night out, even though she hadn't drunk anything. Her eyes flickered over to the clock and it said it was just past three. She closed her eyes for a moment, only for a moment she mumbled but before she knew it she too like Jem was passed out. Her head was resting on the bench and William couldn't help but smile at her sleeping form. The couch was way too small to fit her long legs or his for that matter, so he picked her up, trying to concentrate on walking straight. Soon enough he had gently placed Tessa on one side of his bed, pulling the blanket up and draping it over her.
William walked to the opposite side of his bedroom, grabbing a pair of PJ shorts and pulling his shirt off and discarding his jeans for some cool shorts to bear with in the summer night. He slipped in bed, next to Tessa prepared to admire her sleeping form which was adorable, but he'd underestimated how drunk he was and fell asleep immediately, ending the night off with three best friends fast asleep and content.
Legit just wrote this in the last hour and was so excited due to the idea of the whole story. There wasn't really mean to be a plot with this, just the three goofing off.
Hope you enjoyed it.
