“Just admit it.”
“Admit what exactly?”
“I’m better looking than you.”
“Huh?”
“I’m better looking!”Alex almost yelled over the loud music, taking another drag from his cigarette.
“How so?” Damon asked a bit perplexed.
They were all getting properly pissed in some fancy party in West Brompton, some mansion who’s owner no one could recall.
Graham was leaning against the wall he looked like he was about to hurl while Damon had his arm around him for support and a bottle of Newcastle in the other.
Dave just sat there, smoking, minding his own business and what he did best, nothing like the useless piece of ginge he was.
“I’m classically good looking, your just a pretty boy,” Alex said flipping his hair. “Kinda like a girl.”
“I’ve got no complaints I’m pretty popular with the ladies and even some fellas,” Damon added with a wink. “You didn’t complain when were snogging last night.”
“What?” a concerned Graham was brought back to Earth with those words, “Where was I when all this occurred?”
“Damon didn’t tell you?”
“Hey shut up, it was nothing Graham, you give Alex a beer and some cheese and he’s practically dropping his trousers.”
“Why wasn’t I invited?”
“Damon brought his arm around Graham’s neck, “It was nothing, really.”
“I bet I can snog more guys at this party than you can.”
“Care to make it interesting Heartthrob?” Damon mocked.
“What you mean?”
“Okay each guy is worth one point, double points if you can kiss both those hairy apes,” Damon added motioning to Liam and Noel who were arguing quite loudly by the bathroom.
“You’re on pretty boy”
**************************************
“Noel c'mon I know you have some gear on you,” Liam whined.
“I’m not giving shit to you until you learn how to behave.”
“What I do now?”
“You keep pinching everyone’s arses, you just don’t do that!”
“I’m just trying to liven things up Noel, this party is shit, nothing but fookin’ sausages, not a bird in sight.”
Noel gave Liam a grave look and walked away.
“What I say?” Liam yelled at his brother as he walked away. “Fookin’ dick.”
Noel had gone outside to smoke a cigarette and get away from Liam. On his way he passed through the hallway stepping over Jarvis who was so pissed he was sat on the floor, wine glass still firmly clutched in his hand. Noel gave him a nod and stepped out.
Fookin’ lightweights, he though looking for his lighter and his pack of Benson’s. Our kid probably nicked them off me the cunt.
He was about to go back in and knock Liam out when he noticed he wasn’t alone.
“Need a light?”
It was Alex, that cunt from Blur.
“I don’t need anything from the likes of you.”He walked right up to Noel and lit two cigarettes, handing him one.
Noel took it from his hand suspiciously.
“Erm, thanks.”
“Aren’t you going to thank me?” Alex said placing his hand on Noel’s shoulder leaning in for a kiss.
He tasted like cigarettes and blue cheese.
Noel savored the kiss for a few seconds but when Alex tried to slip in some tongue Noel pushed him off.
“Get off me you puff.”
“You didn’t exactly fight it.” Alex said cheerfully, “Now I have to find Liam, ta!” and he was gone.
Noel was left outside smoking and utterly confused.
**************************************
Liam was inside getting drunk. Graham was on one side looking miserably at Damon and Damon was talking very close to Liam.
“You know this whole feud is all the media’s creation.”
“Mhm,” Liam said uninterested.
“I love your songs, what is it um, Live Forever, you sing divine,” Damon added licking his lips while looking right into Liam’s eyes.
“Yeah man,” Liam still uninterested.
“Why don’t me and you go somewhere to be alone?”
Just then Graham choked on his beer and pretended to look away.
“Yeah?” Liam said scouring the room for any sign of Noel. “Where you wanna go?”
Damon, putting both his arms around Liam’s neck, “I don’t know, wherever.”
Damon and Liam walked through the hall to get to the stairs passing Jarvis, who was now throwing up into a potted plant.
After he was done vomiting he picked up his wine glass and continued drinking.
Damon and Liam snickered and went into the many bedrooms to be alone.
Right as Liam closed the door Damon was on him grabbing his face and giving him a sloppy kiss.
Damon pulled his face away biting Liam’s lip.
Liam put his hands on Damon’s coat and started pulling it down while Damon smiled to himself wanting to know how far this could possibly go without laughing out loud.
But this didn’t last long as Noel pushed open the door.
Liam immediately pushed Damon away.
“What the fook am I walking into?”
Liam looked horrified.
“He dragged me up here I swear, he practically forced himself.”
“Oh chill Noel, loosen up,” he walked up to Noel and planted a peck on his lips and walked out smiling, he was sure he was in the lead.
“Listen Noel,” Liam said backing up.
“You better start explaining before my fists catch yer face!”
“Nothing happened!”
“You fookin’ slag! When are you gonna learn!”
*************************************
“Jarvis doesn’t count! He’s practically passed out!”
“You’re just mad coz I’m in the lead!”
“It has to be consensual Alex!”
“I guess we’re tied then, unless you give me a snog?”
We’d still be tied you dimwit.”
“Oh yeah.”
Damon’s eyes lit up and he pulled Graham in for a kiss.
“There I win, unless you wanna kiss Dave.”
“I’m not that desperate.”
“This is getting boring, let’s go home Graham, see ya heartthrob,” and he lead a less grumpy Graham out by the hand.
“Sorry about what I said earlier,” Alex said to Dave. “Fancy going back to my place, you, me and sorted imported cheeses?”
Dave gave him a disgusted look and walked away.
“Looks like it’s just me and you tonight,” he said with a wheel of cheese in arms.
“Don’t talk to me!”
“Noel you can’t go home without me!” Liam ran after Noel being careful not to step over Jarvis who was now passed out on the floor, Brett was busy checking his pockets.
Noel hailed a cab and sat there pretending like he was leaving without Liam but after a few seconds he opened the door letting him in.
“Thanks Noel,” Liam said resting his head on Noel’s shoulder and grabbing his hand.
“I’m still not speaking to you,” he responded frowning, but he didn’t let go.
