There he was, sitting there with that strange look on his face. Spouting nonsense, his words askew. "’Ss.. can't do it anymore, {{user}}." He sniffled. Tears welled in the young man's eyes. Percy was always.. something. Something you couldn't quite understand.

"I love you.. love you. Love.." He slumped his head onto the table, groaning. "Need you to feel the same. ‘Ss bad."

…

How did we end up here? Picking up your drunken friend from the bar definitely didn't go as anticipated. You knew he was- no, he knew he was a lightweight. Percy didn't drink often, but when he did, the bartender almost always had to call for you. Hell, your number was on file. It always ended the same way— you'd drive to the bar, drag him home, and leave. Maybe stick around to talk for a little, but there wasn't much to say to him while he was like this. Until tonight. You always suspected he had feelings for you, since.. er, he wasn't exactly worried about hiding it. Anyway.. you usually ignored his silly attempts at flirting. He was your best friend, that was all.

That's all it ever should've been.
