"Ian, are you ready yet?" Anthony knocked on his hotel door. He was meeting him so that they could go down to the party together, after his little fight with Kalel.

"Hey douchenozzle," Ian opened the door and smiled at him.

"Hey Ian," Anthony laughed slightly. There was that feeling in his stomach again. The one that had recently been happening a lot whenever he was around Ian, or even he was just thinking of him. He didn't want to think about it too much because honestly, he was scared of what it could mean. No way was he going down that route.

"Hello, earth to Anthony," Ian waved his hand in front of Anthony's face. "You zoned out there."

"Sorry," Anthony shook his head. "I'm kind of messed up right now."

"You wanna talk about it?" Ian offered. That was great thing about their friendship. Usually guys don't really talk about their feelings ever, it's just the way that things are. But Ian and Anthony had been extremely close friends for so long now that it only seemed natural.

"Can I talk to you about it later?" Anthony asked whilst fidgeting with his hands awkwardly. "I don't really want to ruin the mood of the party."
"Of course," Ian gave him a reassuring smile.

"Thanks Ian," Anthony said gratefully.

"So anyway, I guess we should get going now," Ian said.

"Not just yet," Anthony contradicted him. He took a step closer to Ian so that their faces were only a few inches apart, and very carefully, adjusted Ian's hair. "Perfect."

They held eye contact for a few seconds before Ian averted his gaze away from Anthony's dark brown eyes. "You're so weird Anthony," he said and Anthony just grinned in response and said nothing.

The party was exactly as they had expected it to be: loud party music, lots of people, lots of dancing and a lot of drinking too.

"Anthony, you might want to slow down a bit. You really don't want a hangover tomorrow," Phil warned him as he tipped back the bottle.

"I'm fine," he said, slurring his words slightly. "I've only had a few…"

He didn't usually drink a lot, not even at parties. But after what had happened with Kalel, he was eager to have a good time parting and didn't give a fuck about the consequences at that point in time. Party till you pass out; drink till you're dead, right?

"That's it, no more drink for you," Dan said sternly and snatched the bottle out of his hands.

"Whatever," he shrugged and walked off to find Ian.

"Hey Ian," Anthony greeted him.

"Oh, hey Anthony," Ian said back. "Are you having a good time?"

"I guess…" he replied. "Where's Tyler?" We haven't said happy birthday to him yet."

"He's over there," Ian pointed to the corner where Tyler was surrounded by a small group of people, including Jack and Finn.

"Oh cool," Anthony replied and they made their way over to the group.

"Happy birthday Tyler," Anthony grinned and gave him a brief side hug. Ian did the same.

"Thanks guys," Tyler said excitedly. "Should we take a picture together?"

"I'll hold the camera," Jack offered.

"Thanks Jack," Ian said. They took the picture and then Ian and Anthony took a picture with the twins.

"The fans are gonna go crazy when they see these pictures," Anthony chuckled.

"Indeed," Finn laughed.

As the party progressed, Anthony drank even more, despite Dan and Phil's warnings. It got to the point where he was having trouble walking by himself.

"Anthony, what have you done?" Dan sighed.

"Nothing…" Anthony mumbled.

"I think you need to go to your room and rest," Phil suggested. Anthony was too tired to even bother arguing about it.

"Come on," said Dan. They led Anthony out of the party, with his arms around their shoulders for support.

"Thanks guys," Anthony said.

"Hey, don't worry about it," Phil replied.

"Yeah, just as long as you don't vomit anywhere near me, motherfucker," Dan said jokingly with a hint of sass in his voice. Anthony just laughed in response.

*Meanwhile at the party*

"Have you guys seen Anthony anywhere?" Ian asked Kalel and Joey.

"No actually," Kalel shook her head. "That's weird."

"I saw him leaving a few minutes ago with Dan and Phil," Joey told him.

"Do you know why?" Ian asked.

"He looked a bit tipsy," Joey laughed. "They probably took him to his room or something."

"Thanks," Ian said gratefully and headed off to find him. After saying goodbye to people, he ran out of the building and kept running until he finally caught up with the dark-haired trio.

"Hey guys," Ian said breathlessly. Anthony looked round at him in surprise.

"Ian, what are you doing here?" Anthony asked, looking both shocked and pleased at the same time.

"Just checking up on my idiot of a friend," Ian smirked.

"We were just helping him get back to his room," Phil said.

"I can take it from here if you want," Ian offered. "You guys go back to the party."

"Are you sure?" Dan asked him.

"Of course," Ian replied. "Don't worry about it."

"Thanks Ian," Phil smiled. "I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow then."

"Yeah you will," Ian smiled back. As Dan and Phil started walking back to the party, he turned to Anthony and put his arm around his waist to help him walk. "You are so stupid."

"I know," Anthony groaned as they started walking to his room. "I just wanted to forget about earlier."

"What happened?" Ian asked out of concern.

"I'll tell you later, my head is kind of fuzzy right now," Anthony sighed.

"Okay," Ian nodded.

About ten minutes later, they finally reached Anthony's room. "Where's your room key?"

"In my back pocket," Anthony mumbled.

"Really Anthony?" Ian sighed.

"Just get it out," Anthony said. "You've touched my ass plenty of times before anyway."

"It's a good thing you're drunk otherwise I would have punched you just then," Ian shook his head. He quickly put his hand into Anthony's left back pocket, and then the right one. "Dude, your card isn't in there."

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Anthony laughed loudly.

"Seriously, where is it?" Ian asked, slightly annoyed at the way Anthony was acting.

"Here," Anthony giggled as he pulled it out from his front pocket.

"I can't believe you just made me touch your butt…again," Ian shook his head in disgust.

"Don't act like you didn't enjoy it," Anthony smirked. Ian didn't say anything and just sighed in relief when he was finally able to open the door.

"Well you're finally in your room now," Ian said in relief as Anthony collapsed onto the double bed. "How come you're not puking your guts out by now?"

"I'm not that drunk," Anthony giggled. Ian rolled his eyes in frustration and started walking towards the door.

"Ian wait!" he called out to him.

"What?" Ian turned around.

"Don't go," Anthony said in a meek voice.

"Anthony, stop messing around with me," Ian tutted. "You're starting to piss me off now."

"…I'm sorry," Anthony said quietly. When he looked over at him, he was shocked to see that Anthony had tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ian asked as he moved over to sit next to him.

"I just feel like I can't do anything right," Anthony groaned. "Kalel is mad at me and now I'm annoying you as well. If I annoy thee people closest to me, then what hope do I have?"

"Okay, first of all you need to calm down," Ian said and put his arm around him. He knew that Anthony would never get this emotional over a few trivial arguments if he was completely sober. "I wasn't really mad at you. I was just being impatient, that's all."

"What about Kalel," he sniffed. "She says that I'm constantly putting you and Smosh over her. I just feel like such a shit boyfriend." Ian was stunned into silence for a few seconds.

"She really said that?" he asked in disbelief. Kalel just didn't seem like the kind of person to say something as needy as that.

"Yeah she did," Anthony nodded.

"Well, is it true?" Ian asked him.

"That's the problem," Anthony sighed. "I don't even know anymore."

"Trust me Anthony, as far as I can tell, you're doing nothing wrong," Ian assured him.

"You really think so?" he asked with a trace of hope in his voice.

"Of course," Ian replied.

"Thanks, that means a lot to me," Anthony smiled before letting out a huge yawn.

"Aw, is somebody tired?" Ian teased him.

"Shut up," Anthony said but he couldn't help letting out a smile. "I should probably try and get some sleep now anyway."

"I better get going then," Ian said and began to stand up.

"Wait," Anthony pulled on his shirt to make him sit back down. "Can you stay here?"

"For the night?" Ian asked with uncertainty.

"Yeah…" Anthony replied, slightly regretting his question.

"You really want us to sleep in the same bed together?" Ian asked, still unsure about whether Anthony was being serious or not.

"If I stay on my side and you stay on yours, then what's the problem?" Anthony responded.

"Fine then," Ian sighed. "What do I tell Kalel and Melanie?"

"Just tell them that they're gonna have to share a room together and leave it at that," Anthony said. "I'll explain it to them in the morning if I really have to."

"Okay fine," Ian gave in. "I can't believe I'm really doing this."

"Just text them," Anthony mumbled as his eyes started drooping. "I'm so tired now."

"Sure," Ian replied and quickly texted their girlfriends before switching off his phone. "It's done now."

"Thanks Ian," Anthony said gratefully.

"You so owe me one," Ian pointed a finger at him.

"Whatever," Anthony chuckled and took his jeans off to go to sleep.

"Are you really gonna sleep like that?" Ian asked him, looking a bit worried.

"I'm not gonna rape you in your sleep if that's what you're worried about," Anthony rolled his eyes. "Just be grateful that I'm not naked."

"How nice of you," Ian replied sarcastically before getting into bed with him, making sure that they made no physical contact whatsoever.

A/N: I would just like to point out that Dan and Phil did actually have to help Anthony leave the party because he was drunk. I saw the picture on Tumblr. Okay bye.
