MHA 13- Late Wednesday Night

 Connor was already beginning to regret the decision to go drinking that night. His head was pounding and even the light inside the apartment complex seemed far too bright. It wasnt one of his smarter moves, but Connor hadn't been able to just sit in the apartment and stew any longer. The drinks had helped take the edge off of things, numb the pain for a little while at least. Now maybe he would be able to sleep for once... if he was lucky.

Muttering to himself as he got up to his floor, Connor fished the keys out of his pocket and headed for his flat. But he stopped short in the hallway as he looked towards his flat and to the all-too-familiar one across the hall. Was that... Nick?

Cutter had drank just a bit too much and by the time he had stumbled back to his flat and gotten out his key, he was having trouble opening the door and had dropped his key and eventually he had slumped in the doorway and had started to fall asleep.

He hadn't even heard Connor come up the stairs, he stirred slightly and murmured but he kept his eyes closed.

Cutter head rolled a bit as he felt the kick, "I don't wanna get up" he moaned as he he kept his eyes closed, "head hurts, want to sleep" he couldn't keep his head up and started to drift back off to sleep.

Cutter murmured, feeling the gentle shake and slowly opened his eyes, "C...Connor?" he blinked up at him, "is that you?"

He barely remembered how he had even gotten to his flat, "I ... I dropped my key, I couldn't get in ..." he made no effort to stand up.

"Oh is that where it went?" Cutter blinked a bit as he looked up at the key Connor was holding, "I couldn't find it," he admitted and very reluctantly he tried to stand up when Connor grabbed arm. He managed to get to his feet and then he started to sway a bit and then a few moments later started to sink back down to the ground.

Cutter lead heavily against Connor for support as they started to move inside the flat, "yes, inside ... do you ... stay?" he asked hopefully as he struggled to stay upright, "we can talk?" he asked as he looked up at Connor, blinking up at him with tired eyes, "talking, I ... yes, that would be nice," he managed to get out.

"Miss talking to you," Cutter pouted as he sat down the couch, "I ... I miss you,"

His head was hurting and he leaned his head against the side of the couch, he was also not really aware of what he was saying and he would definitely not have been that honest if he hadn't drank so much.

Cutter stilled a little at hearing that and he looked up at Connor with a sad, longing expression , he wished so much that things could be different.

"Okay," Cutter said in a very tired, pained voice as he tried to get comfortable on the couch, "we can talk later,"

He really missed Connor but his thoughts were too jumbled up and conflicted to article his feelings, he had trouble talking about his feelings when he was sober, he had no hope when he was drunk.

Cutter blinked up at Connor, as he handed him the water and pills, he forced himself to sit up as he gratefully took them, "thank you," he said softly as he took the pills and a mouthful of water, "thank you," he said again, "for .. for this, for tonight ... I ..." he stared at Connor, falling silent as he couldn't think of the words through the pain that was in his head.

All he knew was that he missed Connor, he missed being with him and he was feeling particularly lonely right then.

Cutter nodded, "I ..." and then an idea began to form in his mind and he wasn't sure what quite possessed him to do this, he started to get back to his feet, "I ..."

He swayed a little and tried to keep his balance.

"I ..I will..." he managed to slur. "Sorry, just ... I'm tired, I thought ... tried to ...thought it would help ..." his voice trailed off, unsure of what to say.

Cutter blinked a little but he managed to stand up and not fall back on the couch, "I ..." he started to say again and stopped, "I want you to stay, please," he tried and then there was another pause before he began to lean in close to Connor, to try and kiss him.

Cutter had hoped that Connor was about to lean in and kiss him, especially once his hand was coming closer ... he remembered all those times Connor had pulled him into a kiss and his heart leapt and then he realised what Connor was saying.

"Oh," he deflated, his eyes downcast, "I ... I miss you though, I miss ... us," he sounded pleading but he didn't try to lean in and kiss Connor again. He was aware enough to realise that Connor wasn't interested in kissing him and it hurt but he did understand.

"Oh," Cutter blinked tiredly, not able to meet Connor's eyes just then, "I ... I guess ..." he sounded a little unsure, he bit his lip, "I ... "

He didn't know what else to say right then, he felt really awkward, "I ... I guess I should sit down then?" it was taking a lot of effort to stand right then.

Sorry Connor, Cutter would feel really bad about this later when he was sober and remembered all of this.

Cutter could only nod, as Connor helped sit down.

"I ... I would like that," he murmured softly, "thank you,"

"Sleep ..." Cutter agreed tiredly, returning the small smile as he started to get comfortable on the couch, "sleep is good ... haven't been able to sleep, didn't sleep last night," He wasn't quite aware of what he was saying and he definitely wouldn't have been this honest if he hadn't drank so much.

He had felt so bad about their fight and he wished he could apologise for it but he couldn't quite form the right words to say.

"Thank you," he said instead, "for ... for getting me here," he managed to get out.

Cutter nodded tiredly from where he was starting to fall asleep again, "okay," he said, managed to look up at Connor as he did, "I ... this was nice ... being together with you ... missed this .. missed us," he mumbled, the words slurring together as he felt sleep began to take its hold, "love you," it slipped out before he could stop it.

Cutter had his eyes closed but gave a very tired smile as the blanket was draped around him and it wasn’t long at all before he fell asleep.
