Sunday came up quickly as Laff tugged on one of his good overcoats, looking in the mirror. He wasn't entirely sure Joocie's reaction to him fabricating those texts to the mysterious man Charlie, and he felt like he didn't want to know. The only thing he did know was that Joocie texted everyone the address of the party and asked us to go with him; which showed him Joocie believed it was himself who sent those texts. Thankfully, everyone who he had sent the address did accept his request and were coming.

The only two who didn't accept it was Woolfster; who was a little too young to go and he had to study for his exams anyway, so Laff asked him if he would watch Nadwe. The other was Tbh, who didn't have a reason other than to 'keep Woolf company' and basically invited himself to watch Nadwe with Woolfster.

-fucking stand your boyfriend up, lying to him while he's incapacitated and now not even trying to come along with us?- Laff huffed silently and shook his head -Mate, you are turning into a real piece of work, Honest..-

Nadwe cooed from his bassinet as Laff looked over, smiling softly. "Yes that's right, Mr.Woolfster is gonna watch yous while your pop goes to a grown-up party." He walked over and picked Nadwe up, chuckling softly as Nadwe snuggled in his arms, cooing. Laff smiled and held Nadwe close, rubbing his back gently "fuck mate...nearly a month and a half and I'm already sad to see you grow up.."

Nadwe babbled and waved his hands, giggling as Laff chuckled softly. The doorbell went off as Laff walked out of his room with Nadwe in his arms, striding over to the door and opening it.

In the doorway was Woolfster who had his book bag over his shoulder, behind him was Tbh to his right dressed in a yellow sweater with a pineapple patch stitched into it and sweatpants, and Joocie to Woolfster's left dressed in a casual white dress shirt and dress pants. Joocie looked mentally exhausted as Tbh smiled happily, pushing past Woolfster as he looked at Nadwe "There's the big man! Hi Nadwe!~"

Nadwe squeaked and hid his face in Laff's arms as Tbh chuckled "Aw little shy baby~"

Laff huffed quietly, turning his attention to Woolfster as he handed Nadwe over "Thank you for watching Nad, Woolf." Woolfster held Nadwe in his arms and nodded "Of course." Laff reached in his pocket and handed Woolfster a piece of paper "This is the list of emergency numbers I want you to call in case you can't reach me."

Woolfster took it and nodded "Alright Laff." He put the paper in his own pocket as Tbh looked at Joocie. "You have a good time hon, now don't go drinking again you lush!" He laughed and nudged Joocie, who in turn let out a soft noise. Tbh chuckled softly and rubbed Joocie's shoulder "Aw you know I'm just playin' around, now give us a kiss."

Joocie didn't move as he glanced away, rubbing his arms. Tbh chuckled and leaned closer to kiss Joocie on the head as Joocie quickly jerked away, letting out a small yelp and left Tbh speechless. Tbh looked a little frustrated before laughing softly, raising his hands up "Okay then Mr.Gloomy Pouty Prince, maybe after you have a few hours to loosen up."

Laff grumbled softly as Tbh walked in and sat down on the couch. He shook his head softly and looked at Woolfster. "We won't be too late, there's a bottle for Nadwe in the fridge and money on the counter for takeout." Woolfster nodded softly as Laff walked out with Joocie.

The two walked to Joocie's car and got in their respective seats. Joocie started driving to the address on the GPS as he stayed silent the entire ride, staring solemnly ahead as Laff occasionally glanced out the window and looked at Joocie with a worried look.

"...Mate, are you okay?" He asked softly as he looked at Joocie. Joocie nodded softly as he kept looking at the road "i'm fine..." he sighed quietly as he continued driving. He pulled up along the sidewalk a few minutes away from the beach house as he turned off the car. Laff looked at Joocie as he unbuckled his seat belt "Hey, Joocie...I'm sorry about Tbh.." Joocie sniffled softly and looked at him "I know...I..." He looked away "...I wish Tbh was more like you.."

Laff smiled softly and reached over, rubbing his back gently "Just try to have a good time tonight, alright?" Joocie looked at him and nodded softly. Both he and Laff got out of the car and started walking. They walked up to a lavish beachside house where there were cars parked in the driveway and down the block. Laff's eyes widened slightly as they approached the door "Oh my word..."

Joocie knocked on the door as someone opened the door. "Name?" the woman asked as Joocie looked up "o-oh, uh, Joocie and LaffenGas..?"

The woman smiled and opened the door fully "Ah, welcome to the party you two!"

Laff walked into the house with Joocie and into the main living room, looking at the scene around them. It was as lavish and as raging as a great gatsby party, with plenty of snacks and drinks placed around everywhere and people having a good time.

"Oh, holy christ..."

-

Woolfster held Nadwe in one arm, cradling him to his chest as he grabbed the bottle out of the fridge. He placed it in the microwave and placed the timer for thirty seconds as Nadwe babbles quietly and coos happily. Woolfster looked down at him and smiled softly "You've been so well behaved."

Nadwe babbled and clapped his hands, squealing happily as Woolfster chuckled softly.

Woolfster's ear twitched when the microwave went off as he opened up the microwave door, pulling the bottle out before closing the door. "After you eat, we can sit in front of the TV and watch some cartoons before I put you down for bed."

Nadwe looked up at him confused as Woolfster tilted his head "Has Laff shown you the TV yet? Do you know about sesame street yet? Hm? With the super Grover and the big yellow bird and Oscar the grouch and the count that goes; 'Ha-Ha-Ha!'!" He mimicked the count's accent as he poked Nadwe's nose.

Nadwe squirmed and giggled as he ate, kicking his tiny feet as Woolfster chuckled. Woolfster's ears twitched as he recognized the sounds from the living room; Tbh was wrapping up a conversation on his phone as he tilted his head. Who was he talking to? The sound on his phone was turned down so Woolfster couldn't pick up who Tbh was talking to.

Before he could move to the archway to try and listen in, Tbh hung his phone up and walked into the kitchen; quickly taking Nadwe as Woolfster let out a confused squeak.

"Hey, why don't you take the money Laff left for take out and go to the arcade? I can watch Nadwe by myself! And hey you need a night to just yourself before your exam so go on and have fun!" Tbh said while smiling as he was escorting Woolfster to the door with the take-out money Laff had left for him.

"W-Wait T-Tbh-! Laff told me to watch Nadwe-!!"

"Cool, we agree okay have fun bye!!" Tbh cheered and basically shoved Woolfster out the door, closing it quickly. Woolfster tensed up before turning back around quickly and tried the doorknob; locked. He gave up and huffed, his ears flopping "My backpack is in there...I need that..."

Tbh giggled happily and held Nadwe out in his arms "Aha! Guess what little man, Miss Wictoria is coming over! So it's going to be just you and me and the lovely lady all night tonight." He smiled "Doesn't that sound fun!?"

Nadwe dropped his bottle, squeaking in confusion as he tilted his head.

Tbh held Nadwe back in his arms and started walking to Laff's room "Of course when I mean me, you and Miss Wictoria; I really mean me and Miss Wictoria." He walked over to Nadwe's bassinet, laying him down "While we have fun tonight, you are gonna sleep here; safe and sound." Nadwe started whining in protest as Tbh tucked him in, walking away "Good night Nad!" He turned off the lights and shut the door.

Nadwe pouted and clenched his tiny fists, whining.

Tbh had walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge door as he looked inside "Mn, Laff never keeps drinks at his place..." He huffed and closed the door and grabbed his phone "I guess I could order some along with pizza.." He turned on his phone as he dialed a number "I should order now so it arrives when Wictoria do-AH!!" He stumbled away from the archway and fell down in shock. He quickly sat up and looked at the archway in disbelief.

Nadwe was sitting in the archway, looking at Tbh as he was silent.

Tbh took in a few breaths as he stood up "N-Nadwe-? H-How the hell did you get out here?" He picked Nadwe up as he let out a quiet squeak. Tbh looked at him, confused and frightened as he shook his head; walking back to Laff's room "whatever happened, you're going to bed."

Nadwe pouted and puffed out his cheeks, looking down.

Sipping his pint of ale, Dino leaned against one of the walls that didn't have anyone crowding around as he glanced around. There were groups and groups of people he never had met or heard of participating in drinking games and a few were in heated make-outs in the open. Letting out a soft huff, he caught a glance of Socks and Meme and started walking over.

"Hey Socks, Meme there you two are. Hey, do you want to maybe-" Dino paused a couple of feet away as he witnessed the scene in front of him. Meme was sitting in Socks' lap, his arms wrapped around Socks' shoulders with his hands entangled in the spaceman's hair, gripping on it gently as he kissed Socks passionately.

Socks was holding Meme by his hips, grinning as he chuckled lowly; kissing back for a while before pulling away with a soft smirk. "God someone is feisty tonight. You haven't been this frisky since we went out of town. What's the reason?~"

Meme giggled and pushed himself up closer to Socks "I'm not sure, but this party and this place." He stifled a soft moan "It just makes me want to be close to you!" Socks chuckled and wrapped his arms around Meme's torso "Well, can't really argue with that!" He pulled Meme back into a kiss as Meme let out a soft whine.

Dino inhaled slowly before turning around and walking off "Nope."

He looked around and noticed Tbvg and Oof standing off to the side. Smiling slightly, he walked over and stood beside the two "Hey, some party huh?" Oof looked over and nodded "Yeah, this is what I'd imagine a college party would be like." Tbvg nodded softly as he swirled his can of ginger ale around, lost in thought. -Do I tell him now? What if this is a bad idea??-

"Hey Tb, you okay?" Oof asked as Tbvg was brought out of his thoughts; looking at him. Gulping softly, Tbvg nodded "Y-Yeah I am uhh..-" He locked eyes with Oof and went silent for a bit before shaking his head. "I uhhh, actually need to tell you something.."

Oof tilted his head and set his drink down "Okay.." he looked at him "What's up?" Tbvg flicked the tab on his can as he glanced down "W-Well uh..." He took in a breath and looked up at Oof "F-For a while now...I-I have felt um..." He groaned softly and rubbed his neck "god this is hard..." Oof reached over and took his hand gently, looking Tbvg in the eyes. "Go on, take your time..." Tbvg nodded softly and took another breath "o-okay...f-for a while...I-I've felt that-...I-I really, really like you...a-and t-that m-means that I..." He looked at Oof as Oof looked back at him, rubbing his hand gently.

"...OH FUCK IT!!"

Tbvg quickly clung to Oof and kissed him instantly on the lips without any intention of letting go for a while. Oof stumbled back a bit before instantly wrapping his arms around Tbvg, pulling him close and tightly as he kissed back with just as much force and passion. After a few moments passed, Oof pulled himself away and looked at the blushing Tbvg in his arms as they both panted softly "B-Before we continue...first, are you drunk, and second do you really want this to happen? Cause we could leave and-"

"Just shut up and fucking kiss me again-!" Tbvg pulled Oof's face to look at him and kissed him again, causing Oof to kiss back quickly. Tbvg let out a soft moan, opening his mouth slightly as Oof shove his tongue in his mouth, moaning himself as he reached behind them. He opened the door they were leaning beside and pulled Tbvg into the room, kicking the door shut with his foot.

Dino stood there dumbfounded as he huffed softly "that's fine I guess..." He turned around and walked away. He saw Joocie by the kitchen area, talking to who seemed to be the host, and instantly turned around "Nope."

He eventually found Blaza by himself sitting on the deck as he walked over, sitting beside him "Hey." Blaza looked at him and smiled softly "Yo." Dino glanced at him before smiling softly and raising his glass "Here's to two single men with nothing to lose."

Blaza chuckled softly and tapped his can of soda to Dino's glass "Amen Dino."

Dino took a sip and chuckled "But hey, you'll find someone someday, I'm fairly positive." Blaza smiled softly and looked at him "That's really comforting for you to say.." Dino nodded and smiled "anytime..."

Laff looked around, a little worried that he hasn't kept much track of anyone since he arrived. Glancing around; he saw Socks and Meme in the main living room on a couch, Joocie was in the kitchen from what he could see, and Blaza and Dino out on the deck. The only two he had no account for was Tbvg and Oof, now where did they-

"Hey there Laffen!"

Laff let out a scream and turned around, met with the sight of Shroobz who laughed quietly "Settle down, it's just me." Laff relaxed at the sight and rubbed his chest "Christ Shroobz you startled me." Shroobz chuckled softly and rubbed Laff's head, muttering sorry under his breath.

Getting a better look at Shroobz, he realized how built the multi-worker was. Not so much that it was noticeable from far away but just enough for his muscles to have some definition to them. He wore a loose-fitting dress shirt with dress pants as his hair was slicked back, not from gel but it kept its shape as if it was matted down by a helmet of some kind. Shroobz looked...stunning.

Shit, Laff realized he was staring as he quickly looked away; clearing his throat.

Shroobz chuckled softly "Hey why so uptight? You know you don't have to worry all the time." He shrugged "Sure, everyone is gonna do something stupid at some point, but you don't have to be the go-to guy for everyone to unload all of their problems. You could take a break sometimes, even now since you have a kid."

Laff was left speechless as he felt touched. He glanced down a bit "wow, uh...Shroobz. That's..really nice of you to say." He looked up at him and smiled softly "Thank you.."

Shroobz nodded and smiled happily. Laff pulled out his phone from his pocket "I should call to check on Nadwe, though.." Shroobz grabbed his arm and led him towards the front door where it was much quieter so Laff could make a call. Laff pressed the speed-dial for Woolfster and put the phone up to his ear.

The line connected as Laff heard loud noises from the arcade from down the block "U-Uh, Laff!?" Laff's eyes widened as he looked at his phone "Woolfster-!? Mate, why are you at the arcade!?" There were shuffling noises as Woolfster explained "T-Tbh sort of kicked me out of the apartment and said he could watch Nadwe himself!" Laff took the phone away from his ear and sighed "Figures..." he put his phone back to his ear "I'll handle it Woolfster, start heading back there."

He then hung up from Woolfster and dialed Tbh's number. The line kept ringing until after 5 rings, it disconnected.

Wait...

Laff looked back at his phone and dialed Tbh's number again only to have the same result. Now Laff was starting to become worried. In a fit of desperation; Laff dialed Wictoria's number. One ring, two rings...three rings...four rings...

Laff felt his blood run cold as he suddenly looked pale, slowly lowering his phone as Shroobz noticed how suddenly his behavior changed. "Laff-?" He placed a hand on his shoulder "Laff what's wrong???" Laff didn't move an inch, only turning slightly to glance at Shroobz with fear-filled eyes.

"...something's wrong."

-

Speeding down the road in his motorcycle, Shroobz weaved and dodged the cars on the street as Laff sat behind him, holding onto him tightly. Laff couldn't get a hold of Tbh or Wictoria and he had no idea of knowing if Nadwe was okay or not.

"CAN YOU GO ANY FASTER!?!"

Shroobz glanced behind him "I'm going as fast as I can without going over the speed limit!!" Laff glared at him, on the edge of a breakdown "WELL GO FASTER MATE I NEED TO CHECK ON MY SON!!!" Shroobz shrugged and sped up significantly. Laff was trying to even out his breathing as he gripped onto Shroobz's jacket tightly, trying to calm down.

Soon Shroobz came to a screeching halt in front of Laff's apartment complex. Laff didn't waste any time getting off the motorcycle and running inside, almost flying up the staircase until he reached his floor. Running down to his door, he saw Woolfster there who was trying to open the door; it was still locked.

Laff huffed and pushed Woolfster to the side "Step aside mate-!!" He kicked his own door in and grew pale at the sight. Both Tbh and Wictoria were on the floor rendered unconscious as Woolfster ran inside, worried "Tbh-!!" Hearing footsteps come closer, Shroobz managed to catch up with Laff and noticed the sight "Oh holy shit-!!"

Laff didn't move, he was frozen. He then suddenly shook his head with a sharp gasp "Nadwe-!!" He looked towards his room and ran over to the door "NADWE!!" He threw the door open.

The room was relatively in order; except for the open window and the bassinet tipped on its side. Laff slowly felt himself start to panic as he ran to the bassinet to check and see if Nadwe was in it or not.

It was empty; all there was in the bassinet was a note.
