The night after the events of “Late Night Stroll”..
8 P.M.
——————
Oddball waits patiently, standing near the same place where the two had originally met the night before. He noticed Beer Keg walking towards him so he turned away in a rush, seeming like he’s not looking.
“Hey, Oddball. So, um, about last night,” Beer Keg says as he looks down slightly, “you said you wouldn’t mind if we hung out, so I was thinkin’ we could head to the bar. Sound fancy enough?”
The bar? Oddball’s never drank alcohol before.. because alcohol is BAD!! don’t drink kids, it’s not good for ya! *winks cutely* Oh, anyways back to the story.
He supposes he could try it, just this once. For him.
“Sounds great, actually! We can start heading there right away! Don’t want all the stools to be taken, right?” Oddball says with negative infinity rizz.
Surprisingly, Beer Keg chuckles at this remark and gives a sly smirk and a wink. “I don’t count on it. They always save a stool for me because they know I’d mess' em up if they even dared.”
Oddball, like the twink he is, blushes profusely and turns to look the other way, eventually starts walking quickly towards the bar so his reddened cheeks can dissolve in time.
By the time Beer Keg catches up to Oddball, they just walk in comfortable silence until the femboy high thigh sock-wearing gayass speaks again.
“So, do you go to the bar often?”
Beer Keg looks at Oddball with a cocky grin. “Yeah, like.. every week. Would be everyday but that’s pretty unhealthy. ALCOHOL IS BAD.” He says as he winks at the screen.
Finafuckinglly, the two arrive at the aforementioned bar. As they walk in, it seems empty, except for someone in the left hand corner sipping loudly. Annoyingly. So annoying you wanna strangle him and delete him from the canon entirely!!! Yes, it was in fact, JESTER HAT. Beer Keg speaks up.
“Hey, it’s Jester Hat! Glad to see a familiar face here. C’mon, Oddball, he’ll show us a good time, I’m sure of it!” Beer Keg exclaims as he grabs Oddball by the wrist, pulling him in close as the two walk over.
Oddball can’t stand Jester Hat and his annoying, shriveled voice. It’s so baffling how he wasn’t eliminated yet.
“Hey, cowboy~!.. and um, ball dude, I forgot your name,” Jester Cunt says with a tipsy tone. He’s definitely had a few too many drinks. The majority opinion is that he shouldn’t have had any drinks at all!! But how are we gonna continue the plot.. sigh..
“Hey,” Oddball bluntly murmurs with a monotone.
“Jester Hat!” Beer Keg repeats with 2763 times more energy than normal. “It’s mighty fine to see a familiar face here. You don’t mind I brought my buddy, Oddball, with me, do ya? He said he’d.. Well.. Like to hang out with me tonight.”
“Not at all, Beery~! The party’s just gettin’ started!!”
There is in fact no party. It’s not clear if fermented apple juice is the only thing he’s had all night.
The two sit on the nearest two stools to Jester Hat. Oddball glances at Beer Keg grabbing a bottle of cold [ROOT] beer (let's keep in PG, right?) from a nearby cooler, but it’s clear to both that he’s not gonna drink it.
For the next hour, it’s really just Beer Keg and Jester Hat laughing their asses off at god knows what. Oddball just kind of forces a chuckle occasionally from time to time, feeling out of place on their special night.
It didn’t take long for Oddball to quickly gain back his focus as Jester Hat proceeds to place his hand on Beer Keg’s knee.
Oddball’s face couldn’t get more red. It was as read as Incense! The C2BC CONTESTANT!! WATCH C2BC NOW!!!
Beer Keg was obviously shocked by Jester’s move, he would’ve done something rash as a response but as he noticed Oddball’s reaction, he thought to himself about pushing this even further. Only to tease him.
Jester Hat spoke in a rather flirty tone.
“Oh, cowboy~, You always know how to make my mood brighter every day~..”
I promise there’s no kissing, guys. /hj
Oddball watches with rosy pink cheeks as Jester Hat makes a move on Beer Keg. Oddball wants to intervene at this moment.. but Beer Keg doesn’t seem too uncomfortable. But instead liking it..?
Unfortunately, Jester Hat realized Oddball’s cheeks were as red as Satan and started to go along with Beer Keg’s actions.
“What’s the matter, huh, bally boy~? Did I steal your man?” He teased, squinting his eyes.
Beer Keg chuckles. “Ya’ jealous, Oddball~? Ya’ like me or somethin’?” He places his arm around Jester Hat playfully.
“N-no.. s-so what if I did! You’re straight, anyways. It’s not like you guys, l-like each other. I’m not jealous. He clearly has had way too many drinks of fermented apple juice!”
“Nuh uh~!” Jester Hat says as he flops down to the floor, eventually passing out, leaving the original two of the fanfic to finally have a moment together.
“Huh, ‘spose he’s gone knocked out cold. Well.. I ain’t payin’ his tab.” Beer Keg had blurted out while looking down at the unconscious Jester Hat, then looking at Oddball. Or what would’ve been Oddball if he didn’t leave two minutes ago.
Beer Keg walks out the door to find Oddball sitting behind a nearby tree, planted on the sidewalk
“Oddball?” He questions as he leans against the tree, leering at Oddball’s curled up body on the mulch.
Beer Keg sits next to him, gently placing his hand on top of Oddball’s.
“I.. erh.. uh.. couldn’t help but notice how red ya’ got back there.. um..” Beer Keg inhales, then exhales heavily before taking a moment of silence to process what he’s about to ask. “... Yesterday night, when ya’ said ya’ liked me.. did ya’ mean it in like..?“ He glances at Oddball, hoping for him to finish the sentence, or at least give him an idea.
“Do you like…Jester Hat?...” Oddball asks bluntly.
“What? No, wha- of course not?! We’re just pals sometimes. If this is about when he made a move on me-“
“-but you were into it! You flirted back!” Oddball exclaims, his eyes widened as these words shot out of his mouth, he was obviously in disbelief. Waving his hands around, trying his very best to explain these… feelings.. These emotions...
Beer Keg had no sort of proper answer, all he did was stare at Oddball in surprise. Not even humming out a word.
“Jeez, I didn’t know ya.. cared so much,” He whispers quietly to himself as he scratches behind his keg.
“That’s because I like you! A lot! I care about you more than anyone in this god damn show! I love you!!” Oddball panicky exclaims. He immediately regrets it as Beer Keg’s cheeks redden quickly.
The two now sit in quite uncomfortable silence. Oddball attempts to run away in tears until Beer Keg pulls him in on his lap.
Oddball tries to say something but his lips are shut as Beer Kegs rests his own lips softly on top. Oddball blushes profusely, but he doesn’t falter and he rests his arms around Beer Keg as the kiss continues.
The two pull away and look into each other’s eyes, both of their faces being fully covered by a red blush.
Beer Keg cuts the moment off with a soft, comforting hug, pulling Oddball in. He whispers in his ear.
