Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Ugh. Turn it off. My brain feels like it wants to crawl out my head!" Scrambling under the sheets Tony reached out for a stray pillow in order to block out sound of the alarm.

"You know the clock is on your side right?" Loki's sleep deprived voice was only a pitch above a whisper when a loud thud reached his ear. Quickly, he turns his head where the hungover teen's body used to be only to find ruffled sheets hanging off the side and a missing Tony.

A exhausted sigh escape his mouth along with a matching smile. "Don't you think it's a little too early for falling out the bed again?" Loki question while he made his way over the king size bed, which felt like crossing a football field on your hands and knees at his stage of drowsiness. Only to find his companion trapped in an awkward position face down with one leg still hanging off the side of the mattress.

"It's too early for anything at this ungodly hour." The way his face was covered by scatter blankets, he could only partially hear some of Tony's words, like early and ungodly. But he was right, it is early, 6:30am to be exact. His shift didn't start until 9:00am, and thanks to a certain someone's party last night, he only received a few hours of rest. For that, he didn't have the patience to deal with his family's drama today. Leaving around this time was the first step to avoid a face to face conflict. The second step were to dodge their calls or text messages, knowing enough that they wouldn't attempt to come directly to his job and make a scene. Thankfully Loki doubted they even knew where he worked for the past 2 years. Next step he planned on working a double shift, hopefully everyone would be in bed by the time his shift was finish. Hell, if he could, he'd try to stay over a friend's house for the whole weekend, but that was a sure way to stir the pot and make a recipe build for destruction, ready to blow up in his face.

The sound of a muffled noise brought Loki back down to the now. "Hey are you gonna help me out or make me suffer more here?" Tony still laid on the floor tangle in a mess of fabric. His shirt was wrinkly, pants hung low off his waist, but somehow kept the same short messy hairstyle from last night. That mystery was to be solved another time. Right now Loki slowly slipped over the edge of the bed and place both feet on each side of the lower half of Anthony's body.

Bending down to wrap his arm around his friend's torso. It only took a split second for Loki to have him upright on his feet. The sudden change in position made the disoriented boy feel like his stomach went right to his head and vice versa.

Tony yelps before he could protest against the quick motion.

"Shit Lokes not so fast man," he stated while grasping Loki's arms to steady himself.

"Serves you right for tricking us into carrying your lazy ass up three flights of stairs." Irritation still linger in Loki's tone.

"Oh come on that was weeks ago and besides," he gives Loki a once-over, " if I'd known it lead me into being man handled like this I would pass out more often." There was no way Tony could stop himself from laughing at Loki's reaction including his own flirt attempt.

For the past couple of months, Loki notice the way his classmate push the boundaries of their friendship when they were secluded. Each flirtatious comment made him more confuse than shocked, and not knowing how to respond seems to encourage Tony's actions more. The question of his sexuality always been up for debate by many including himself, but because of circumstances surrounding Loki's dysfunctional family and a hectic schedule placed to avoid setbacks for college. Plus work. There was never enough time to hangout, make new friends, or go on dates with potential interests. You would think high school is a place where youths seek to discover oneself, that isn't the case with him.

"You're not listening are you?"

"What?" Blinks out of thought.

Sarcasm ruled over Tony's next statement. "I said you can let go, I think I can manage to walk a straight line now officer." The look on his 6'2 (187.96 cm) friend's dark green eyes expressed multiple feelings he try to pin point but couldn't. That's what he liked about Loki. There was always something new he could try to decipher. Taking things apart and figuring out how it works has been his passion ever since he was little. Flirting proceed to be the main solution that opens up a side of Loki he'd never witness before.

"I'd like to see you try after the amount you had last night," finally releasing him.

"Please, I can take way mor...uh oh" Tony's face suddenly turns pale.

"What's wrong? Anthony?" Before he could get a word out of him Tony pushes him out the way and on the bed and dashes to the bathroom covering his mouth.

All Loki could lay there with concern circling his mind at Tony's expense. 'If he just slow down with the drinks this week he'd deal with the lost a healthier way.'

"Are you alright in there?" He yell toward the bathroom. The only reply Loki got was a soft moan.

•15 minutes later•

Loki had accidentally fallen back to sleep before awakening from the bed shaking on impact.

"I think I'm done with alcohol," Tony pauses to think about what he just said. "For today," he proclaim without missing a beat.

"You need to stop altogether or else you'll end up needing a new liver before you're 35," moving off the side of the bed.

Another one of Loki's lecture only made his face scrunched up with annoyance and want nothing more than to change the subject. "Must really sucks working on your B-day, can't you just call out sick or something, I'm sure Mr. Whatshisname will understand.

"His name is Mr. Heimdall and no I can't just call-out sick without a doctor's note, weekends are always busy he's gonna need his one employee."

Loki walk to his dresser to find his store's uniform and started undressing in from of a curious Tony.

The first year they met Tony thought he was just an average skinny smart emo kid that kept to himself. Just like him, minus being average, emo, and he definitely wasn't quiet. The one thing they have in common is their wits. They were the most intelligent kids in school, with Tony being the smartest out of the two, there was a connection on day one. Right now, Tony eyes traveled down Loki's body.

Yes, they were JUST FRIENDS, but Tony couldn't help watching his back flex while he pulled his dark shirt off, or how Loki's leg muscle tighten up when he removes his black jeans. The young man was the perfect showcase of maturity. Joining the school's track team only enhanced his looks tenfold with every muscle define by hard work and training, it's a wonder how no one has tried to go out with him. Especially seeing him for the first time in tight grey briefs.

"Thank you track team," Tony mumble to himself.

"Did you say something?"

"I said when's your next track game?"

"Well conditioning won't start until next semester. I think I might try out cross country, but..." Tony blanked out halfway, focusing on the way his friend's shirt outlined a lean chest and mile long legs fitting perfectly in black work pants.

Tony's distraction was interrupted by a feminine yell dramatically surrounding the entire house.

"Loki! Thor. GET DOWN HERE NOW!

"Shit they're home early."
