Elias was still sipping on his drink when Sophia got another one. He looked around the place then back down at her. "Yeah. Want to dance after you finish your drink?" He finished off his cup and tossed it in a nearby trash can.

"Yes," she purred, looking up at him with a mischevious look in her eye and a smirk on her face. "Shots before though?" she asked, obviously getting drunk quickly.

Elias sighed. Only a couple. Otherwise, you'll be so drunk you can't even stand. I really don't want to have to deal with your puking self all night." He looked at her pointedly before leading her in and to the kitchen for a couple shots.

Soon they were both tipsy, Sofia's hands wrapped around Elias' shoulders loosely as they danced. She was a flirty and courageous drunk, both things she wasn't in everyday life, but it seemed to fit her strangely. "So" she hummed, over the music, her eyes reflecting the lights of the room.

Elias had both his hands on her hips. He had grown accustomed to drunk, flirty Sophia. He put up with her advances and then tucked her into bed at the end of the night, staying only when he was scared she would choke on her vomit because she was so drunk. "So?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

“I don’t know, you tell me!” She whined, handing him another shot even though she didn’t want his hands off her hips to take it

Elias shook his head at her. It was time to cut her off. She had had enough alcohol in her system. She was too much of a lightweight. He took the shot from her anyways and downed it. He was only tipsy in contrast to her being drunk. But that would be one of his last shots. "Let's get some water in you."

She whined softly before another couple of girls ran into them, saying a quick sorry before laughing drunkenly and running away. She was now closer than planned to him, her lip tucked in her teeth. Their foreheads were pressed together but her stomah was pressed against his lap, making her freeze to the spot

Elias reached down and picked Sophia up, putting her over his shoulder. He set her down on the counter in the kitchen. He grabbed a cup and got some water out of the fridge. He handed it to her. "Drink, all of it." He gave her the face that said 'or else'

She did as told, whining slightly after placing down the glass. “Do you not think I’m attractive or something?” She asked, her face set as if she hadn’t had anything to drink yet at all.

Elias blinked at her in surprise, not expecting anything like that to come out of her mouth. "You're a very attractive woman Sophia. Why are you asking?"

“Because I fell like you can’t tell at all and maybe that’d be the source, that you just don’t want to. “ she replied, looking down at her lap as she spoke

Elias refilled her cup of water then returned it to her hand, urging her to drink. "You are very attractive Sophia. Don't doubt that. And why does it matter so much what I think of your looks?" He asked.

“Not that, the fact that I like you!” She whined, placing her hands between his legs on the chair as she spoke.

(Oh damn. It's getting hot in here)

Elias visibly strained the moment she placed her hands between him. He gently grabbed her wrists and pulled them away. Of course, he had picked up her feelings for him over the time they've been friends. He just didn't want to jeopardize what they had. "I think you've had a bit too much to drink."

Her breath hitched at the accusation. "Oh" she muttered, a blush coming across her cheeks bright red. She got up, almost falling over again but standing her ground. She hadn't expected him to be so blunt with her. She walked over to the pool again, sitting on one of the pool chairs and crossing her arms. She was trying her best not to let drunk mood swings get the best of her. But some sort of soberness kicked in and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Elias sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He gripped the ends, tugging slightly in frustration. He turned on his heel and quickly walked after her. He sighed in relief when he found her by the pool and not somewhere else in the house. He walked up quietly behind her. "Sophia, please don't run off like that, I don't want anything to happen to you." He squatted in front of her, all the frustration leaving his face as he saw her tears. "Oh, Soph, come here." He opened his arms for her.

"No" she whined, trying to stop her crying. She harshly wiped away her tears, looking up at him helplessly. God, she wanted to kiss him so badly, but it was clear that he didn't have the same feelings for her. She shifted, away from him, dragging her legs up towards her chest.

Elias sighed and grabbed her, scooping her up in his arms. He sat down where she had been previously sitting and set her down in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her tight, rubbing her back in an attempt to soothe her. "You need to talk to me about this Soph, I can't read your mind, as much as you women think we can."

"I like you ok, like really like you. Like a few seconds ago I wanted to kiss you. This isn't being drunk or having too much to drink, I actually like you" she blurted out, trying to get out of his grasp but her drunk strength was that of a limp noodle.

Elias held her tight against him. He enjoyed their friendship. He feared a relationship would ruin what they had, especially if they broke up. But he could see, after tonight, there was no going back no matter what they did or didn't do. He reached up a hand and cupped her cheek gently. "So why didn't you?" He asked her.

Her breath hitched and her mind went completely blank although her mouth was agape as if she was going to speak. "Elias…" she mumbled, her eyes fluttering open and closed as his hand grazed along her cheek. She looked in his eyes for an answer, even if she didn't want one.

Elias splayed one hand under shirt and on her bare back. His other hand on her cheek. His thumb gently traced her bottom lip, pulling at it softly. "Hm? Why didn't you do it, Sophia?" His voice got deeper, huskier, as he pulled her face closer to his, their lips almost touching.
