Evanstan One shots

Haze pt. 2

"Evans, we need to talk"

The anxiety that shot up in my body caused my stomach to turn and making me wanna throw up. "What about?"
I walk up to the counter as the witch herself flashed a "I got you now" smirk and left the store.

"Ms. Taylor was telling me you've been letting high-ons hang around here between midnight and 3am. She said she came in and notice a 'special smell' "
I sighed, "Yeah. What of it?"
"It stops tonight"
"Why? They're harmless"
He chuckled in disbelief, "it stops tonight or this will be your last shift"

I quietly scoffed as he walked over to the backroom door. "And to make sure it does, I'll be sitting back here, watching, Evans"

******
I sat the counter, hoping the trio decides to change their mind about coming in tonight.
It was getting close to the time where they usually come in and my anxiety was only getting higher.

The familiar laughter rang like a church bell as I was finishing stocking the drinks.
I walk behind the counter as the trio walked in. "chris!"

They noticed the worried look on my face.
Scarlett called it out, "what's wrong, chris?"
I kept my voice low, "can't say much but manager is here and watching. I can't allow you guys to be here anymore"
The trio seemed visibly annoyed and Anthony looked at one of the cameras and flipped it off.

"Anthony, you don't even know if that's the one he's looking at"
"Finger is still facing him"
I hold back a chuckle and grab a piece of paper, write my number down and hand it to Sebastian. "You guys are awesome. Please call me so I can see you three again. Ya know? When the coast is clear"

Sebastian nodded happily and loudly spoke, "fine! We're leaving"
Anthony once again flipped the same camera off and the trio left when Anthony mumbling, "fuck that camera"

I smiled to myself and continue my shift.

******
Nothing could make my shift go any slower. With trio being gone, I grudgingly deal with drunks or nightly regrets the whole time. I hadn't received any calls or texts yet but still checked my phone everytime it chimed.

I sit and stare at the clipboard of hours. Usually my name fills up the night shift but something looked different. At midnight, it changes to the manager working.
I can only imagine why he would do that.

I look at the time.
11:47pm

*****
The manager walks in and releases with no questions.
I didn't question it either. It's been a while since I've had a free night.

I walk out and start just walking. I didn't want to go home just yet.
I walked by bars that were alive with music and half drunk people. I kept walking until I heard laughter. The familiar laughter.
I look around and spot the high trio laughing by an old basketball court. I walk over towards them and they didn't seem to notice my movements because from what I can identify is Sebastian in a headlock by Anthony while Scarlett tries to break them apart. They're all hysterically laughing.

I move closer a bit which caught Scarlett's attention. She made eye contact with me. "Holy shit. Golden boy is playing hooky?"
Anthony released Sebastian and they both looked at me.
"I guess Mr. Responsible has a dark side", Anthony added.

I shook my head, "No, guys. Manager happen to take the second half because of him not trusting me"
The trio scoffs in nearly in sync.
"Excuses, excuses", Scarlett rolled her eyes.
" Didn't hear from you guys since I "kicked you out' "
Sebastian facepalm, "shit. I'm so sorry. I forgot"
I shook my head, "no worries. We all here now."

Scarlett smiled wide, "it must be fate"
She then approached me and grabbed my hands, " Well, golden boy. You can come and hang out with us or is it past your bedtime?"
"I worked night shift for the past 8 months, why would I need a bedtime at 12:30 at night?"

She giggled and pulled me towards the three of them, "how about having some fun then, Evans?"
I nodded, "I could use it"

*****
I find myself in the back of Sebastian's car while they shout-sung whatever song was playing. I found it humorous and on Sebastian, it looked very adorable. Even in with his haze.
Anthony was sitting in the passengers seat while Scarlett had her arm around my shoulder while we sat in the back, making me feel more welcomed to their group even though I was the sober one.
Sebastian pulled up to a two-story house in a well kept neighborhood. Classy middle-class.
Not rich but not poor.

"Welcome to my Acasă", Sebastian announced, reaching out, directing our attention to his house.
I was surprised to language change from Sebastian. " Your... Home?"

Anthony nodded, "can't insult the in Romanian any more, seb."
"It was an obvious translation but let's just go."
Scarlett opens the door and pulls out of the car. They lead me around the house and through the back gate.

"You have to sneak in your house or something?"
Sebastian chuckled, "noooo. I prefer this route. Especially with you guys."
They then lead me through the backyard to a set of stairs that led down to what I assumed was the basement door.
I follow them inside to see practically a second home. There was a whole little kitchen, living area and a bedroom along with the washer and dryer under the stairs that led up into the home above us. "Whoa... This place is neat"

"Should have seen it before I stepped in to decorate. These boys wouldn't survive without me.", Scarlett smiled and joined Sebastian on the couch, laying on his chest while he rested on the arm rest. I could only imagine connection between the two.
I watch Anthony set a box down and open it. There were six sandwich baggies lined up which sparked the little couple on the couch attention. They each took one out, revealing the contents inside. " Holy shit", Scarlett whispered.

I finally take a seat then Anthony hands me a blunt he had finished rolling. "For beginners"
"Oh no thanks"
"Why? Scared?"
I rolled eyes, "you think I'm Imtidated by you"
He offered again, "you only live once, chris"

I could feel Sebastian's gaze on me like he was trying to read everything from me. "Fine"
Sebastian then spoke, "chris if you're not comfortable, you dont-"
I shook my head.
"It's cool. I got some stuff to forget anyway"

********
With the right people, the feeling is so relaxing. The laughter is more lively and genuine. We're not alone. I felt apart of something.
This euphoria feeling is something I couldn't give up on. I knew I couldn't. Not easily.

I enjoyed hanging out with the trio but I watched Sebastian and Scarlett the whole time. They played the couple role and they have something. I guess I was wrong about the hot middle boy.
I continue to just forget it and enjoy the new family I got. It was the best night ever. Going from Sebastian house to fucking around at Walmart.
Nothing could go bad...... Right?
