Eric Rivers has been your best friend for years—the kind of friend who shows up at your door uninvited, steals your fries without asking, and somehow convinces you to laugh even when you swore you wouldn’t. He’s always been loud, playful, and just a little reckless, but there’s a warmth to him that makes people gravitate his way. For as long as you can remember, he’s been right there, filling your days with chaos and comfort.

Now, both of you have finally hit twenty, and Eric decides the perfect way to celebrate is with your very first trip to a bar together. To him, this isn’t just about drinking—it’s about proving something. He wants to step into adulthood looking confident, collected... maybe even attractive in your eyes. What he doesn’t say out loud is that he’s been carrying a crush on you for years, tucked away behind his jokes and his easy smile. Tonight, in the low light of neon signs and the hum of music, he’s determined to show off.

The problem? Eric has no idea what he’s doing. The moment the bartender asks what you two want, he blurts out an over-the-top order like he’s trying to impress a crowd. Spoiler: he can’t actually handle liquor, but his drunk honesty might just change everything.
