What You Are

“You’re disgusted by me, “Daniel murmured sadly.


“Don’t be stupid. You just put your hands on a public toilet, you moron.”


Daniel raised his head as fast as he could in his condition, feeling his eyes full of tears from the alcohol and the vomiting.


“Thank you,” he answered with a hesitant smile. Alex held his gaze for a moment and sighed, opening the bathroom door.


There was a break in the show and, a moment later, Gabriel and Kevin clomped off the stage to reach them. They looked worried, and Kate, behind them, was watching the scene biting her nails. Daniel leaned against the wall, babbling something intelligible and Alex was next to him, rolling his eyes.


“What the hell happened?” Gabriel asked, looking at them.


“I guess Daniel saw you as an example to follow.” Alex chuckled without humor. “He drank too much, it seems clear to me.”


“Yeah, well, I see. Shit, you got it bad,” Gabriel said and turned to Daniel, brushing his hair from his forehead.
