Anybodys woke up feeling like he was being crushed and quickly realized that the reality was even worse than that.

He was in bed with someone, and it wasn't his bed of the couch in Tony's apartment, it was an actual bed that belonged to someone else.

It was Ice's, he realized, and she was sleeping soundly at his side with her arm draped across him... she was pretty, this was nice... no it wasn't, this was terrifying, how had this happened?!

Anybodys almost fell off the bed in his haste to get off of it, away from her, away from the site of the act he had sworn to himself he would never do... again, anyway, but that had been different and he wouldn't have chosen to do it those times if he could have helped it... so many times because intertwining yourself with someone else in this way always inevitably led to heartache and pain, he'd known that since he was like five because his parents' constant fighting with each other and fucking other people had been a cruel but effective teacher, and now he had disregarded that overly well established lesson and everything was gonna go to hell worse than it already had, he was freaking out...

Ice fluttered her eyes open in a way that was really cute and hot and brought down Anybodys' fear for a second before redoubling it, focusing her gaze on him after a long moment of residual tiredness that Anybodys definitely did not find attractive and enticing because he needed to get out of here right now and move to Canada or Mexico or something.

He had thought that only death would be able to make him give up on his goal of getting his rightful position in the Jets back, but he hadn't accounted for the possibility of la petite mort because he never would have thought that he of all people would have fallen for its charms like a fish that had been forced by circumstance to be close and personal with anglerfish for its whole life getting drawn in by the light of one anyway.

...The light was pretty amazing though...

"You okay?"

Anybodys looked away from her characteristically calm expression with notes of flirtation and genuine worry for his wellbeing and at the floor, not able to handle any of what was going on here... fighting and spying were so much easier and simpler in comparison to this, why couldn't a challenge of one of those persuasions have arisen last night at the dance for him to tackle... and found their clothes cast aside there in a pile.

He started putting his back on as quickly as possible, struggling with his shirt way more than normal before moving on to his jeans.

"No?! Do I look okay to you?!"

Wow, he was admitting he wasn't okay, not that it wasn't incredibly obvious already probably, this really was the end times.

Wait, why did his pants feel weird...

Ice sat up, more concerned now but not even getting close to approaching the state he was in, and started to say something while making some sort of gesture towards him, but he wasn't really paying attention to that or his still raging panic now because wow she was hot, with her luscious curves and her shiny hair and her boob shaped boobs...

Her hand brushed against his waist as she lightly grabbed his waistband, and he ended up back on the bed with her somehow.

"I was tryna show you you have your jeans on backwa-"

She was abruptly cut off by him kissing her and quickly returned it.

As Anybodys deepened the kiss and their tongues penetrated each other's mouths for what was definitely not anywhere near the first time, the memories came back to him, hazy and cloudy like a lazy river but still clear enough for him to figure out how Point A had led to the threshold to Point B that he had never thought in a million years he would cross being crossed.

They had been hanging out behind the gym during the dance sharing a bottle of vodka, and then there had been some flirting and Anybodys had decided to go for it and let the aftermath be tomorrow Anybodys' problem, and then they had taken it to the bathroom of the gym and then Ice's apartment and now he was tomorrow Anybodys and he really wanted to flee to Canada and drink more vodka until he was freed of his memories of last night and this morning but he also really wanted to stay here with Ice forever because yesterday and now Anybodys could both agree on her being really cool and awesome and hot even if the latter was mentally cursing out the former right now...

She was really amazing and badass though, she had to be to be the only girl the Jets would accept into the gang for real instead of only letting her be on the periphery of it if she was dating one of them.

She wasn't even just in the gang, she was the second in command, and she deserved to be leader way more than the guy Anybodys wasn't gonna think about right now because that would definitely kill the mood.

Clearly she was intelligent if she had somehow managed to get him of all people into bed with her.

Maybe this wasn't so bad?

Things hadn't immediately exploded, that was a good sign.

She was the one to break away for air first because even now his instincts to never back down from a challenge, to never be the one who lost anything that could potentially be construed as a competition were in full force, maybe even more so than usual because everything was out of control that he had previously held and he needed to get it back.

He had come second in a different contest that it was good to come second in last night, he was pretty sure from his fragmented recollections that only increased his frustrating but kinda nice flusteredness, so at least the situation hadn't gone completely off the rails.

"Seems like you're feeling better now."

She ran her hand along his arm like she had done last night, and Anybodys suddenly felt like he had maybe been a bit hasty with putting his clothes back on even as he fought back a wave of reduced but still present panic.

"...Huh... yeah, I am."

Touching the place his eyes had been drifting to definitely made him feel better about the situation, especially when she gasped in pleasure a little with a squeeze, and he once again pushed the task of figuring out what the hell any of this meant onto future Anybodys.

If this felt as good as last time, that guy would be in a better place to handle this.
