We're all sick of the missed shots

I couldn't tell you what led me to drive five and a half hours in the middle of the night to an unfamiliar place. It's not like me to be so easily convinced. Usually, I find drunk texts immature and annoying, but I simply obeyed to the command at hand.
You were blacked out by the time I had gotten there. It was nearly 5am and the college town was asleep. You were standing outside smoking a cigarette and jumping up and down at the sight of me. You said you thought it was a joke that I would actually drive there. Clearly it wasn't. We hugged, then walked inside your fraternity.
The second we got up the stairs to your floor, I could hear someone vomiting. We walked past the bathroom and you asked the vomiting asian if he wanted water. Then you introduced us. Probably the most awkward way I've ever met someone. I then realized fraternities are way worse than the movies.
Your room was small and cluttered. There were empty beer cans and boxes scattered throughout your room. There was a boy on your bed passed out. His body was on the bed, and his head falling in the corner in the wall. We started watching Fear and Loathing on your T.V., and the drunk kid left. I told you I was exhausted and needed sleep. We laid down and you gave me kisses on the cheek. Called them 'angel kisses'. I kissed your lips for a moment, then fell asleep.
I woke up the next day to the sound of your friend in the room and you snoring. This day I learned so much from you. We hungout with all your friends, and I watched you interact with them. I love watching you. You are like a child in your manner. So funny and careless about the future. You always have a good time.
That night we cuddled, laughed, got intimate, talked, became honest with each other. Time wasn't an issue. I wanted to know your heart. It's refreshing to meet someone so genuine. You've never had a girlfriend, are the sweetest guy alive, but somehow, you scare me.
I woke up late the next morning. I despised that five hour drive more than anything. I felt robbed for time. My curiosity naturally kicks in. I want to know more about you. You are so different, but it's easy around you. Who knows where it goes from here. We both have things we need to figure out in our own lives. But I like how things are. We don't need a label or word. I suppose only time will tell. Who would've thought I would fall for the watermelon gum, boy?
Beats me.
