Summary: Tony is enjoying college life.
A/N: No beta, written quickly. Rose is a character I paired Tony up with for another fic. She's coming back for a short visit.
He was drunk. Really drunk. The kind of drunk where life was a little blurry and you weren't quite sure you were standing on the balcony of the second floor of the fraternity waving at the sorority girls gathered below. On top of that he was looking for someone and he was sure he had a test tomorrow.
But it was college, and Tony had come to college to have a good time. But the one person he was looking for was not here, and here she should be. He saw a flash of blonde hair below and then he remembered.
"ROSE!"
He pushed himself away from the railing a little too hard and had to stumble over himself to get straight. He had to be careful. These were first string legs. Through the house he wandered, searching every cluster of giggling sorority girls for the one face he'd been missing the whole night.
Thursday. It was Thursday. She had a Fashion Design class at six. He tried to look at his watch and thought maybe it read 10:45. She should be around by now.
"You look like hell."
He whipped around and smiled. "Rose."
"Anthony. You are shitfaced."
He pulled her into his arms and rested his head on hers. "Wher've you been?"
She guided him back across the foyer and back upstairs towards his room. Once inside, Tony flopped back on his bed and groaned.
Rose kicked off her shoes and then reached over to pull his off.
"Oh I am so drunk."
"You need to sleep."
He sat up and grabbed her hand. "Don't go. Stay here."
She ran her hand across his face. "I'll be here."
"This is so why I came to college," he mumbled as he tried to get his jeans off. "To party and drink and meet chicks. And then I met you. And there isn't so much of the chicks anymore."
Rose gave a yank on his pants causing Tony to yelp.
"No it's good. I still party and seriously. You're the hottest chick alive."
She rolled her eyes before tossing him some sweats. She crawled over him and tucked the covers under his arms.
He turned to look at her and smiled. "You're the best thing that happened to me."
She kissed him softly.
"I think I have a test tomorrow."
