Already made a post about Charles not being the biggest fan of Monty but rewatching the show just makes it even more obvious like
Edwin might've been worried about Crystal but Charles looks like a kicked puppy seeing him go talk to Monty
Then Edwin's just acting super weird and so is Monty and Charles is taking it very well
And all of a sudden Monty is nice to Charles?? And Charles looks so smug like "everyone likes me eventually" and all (meanwhile Niko cannot be bothered, stay hydrated)
Also if he wanted to keep up the friendliness after Monty's been nice to him, maybe he could've not refused the case despite everyone else agreeing (even Edwin)
And then he's just thrilled everytime Monty and Edwin are together 👍
#everytime he talks to edwin about monty is so funny to me too#like at first i was just like 'oh he's taking the news of monty and edwin having a thing very well' and then i realized#that was after monty turned out to be a crow and a traitor#stay supportive of your best pals and their maybe-crushes being a crow#although that could just be my (admittedly very biased) opinion so would love to know if he's actually besties with monty and i got it wron#dead boy detectives#charles rowland#jealous charles rowland#payneland#paynland#save dead boy detectives

Inevitable, Ch 3
Y’all, same disclaimers. In addition to all the warnings we’ll include some explicit drug use today, ‘k? Don’t do drugs kids.
Monty held the letter, his hands trembling as he stood rooted in time. He was still licking his wounds from the traitorous blow Charlie had dealt him. They were brothers, Monty had taken the younger boy under his wing from day one and defended him, fought for him, fought beside him... and he had helped Clay Jensen send him to jail. Yes, some part of him was aware that he was booked initially for messing with Tyler, and the murder charges were tacked on after. But it seemed awfully convenient that Tyler chose the moment that Clay was the one facing jail time to report what he had done.
And, clearly, they had gotten to Charlie. And Charlie gave them the keys they needed to clear Clay's name and fucking sell him out for a crime he didn't commit.
So what could Charlie possibly want with him now. His fist crumpled the envelope.
"Wooooooo!" He bellowed, tapping the keg. "We are getting FUCKED UP TONIGHT!"
Charlie laughed, bringing two trays out of his pantry. His dad was out town for the weekend and although they had lost their game that night spectacularly they were going full steam ahead with Charlie's first party.
"I made brownies." He declared, delighted. Monty stared at him, slightly taken aback. One of the other guys snorted, shaking his head.
"Fuck you," Monty said, rounding on him and grabbing a brownie off of the tray, "Charlie boy made brownies and we're all fucking having one." He took a bite, his eyes crossing momentarily as he groaned. "That's delicious."
"Still talking with your mouth full?" Justin teased, shaking his head as he grabbed a brownie.
"Shut up, I'm enjoying my foodgasm." He grumbled through a full mouth pointedly.
"Fuck, these are actually really good. Good job Charlie." Justin said, passing one to Zack.
"Everyone have a fucking brownie. Charlie made brownies." Zach yelled. And, well, Zach was the captain.
It didn't take long before the cheerleaders, the other girlfriends, students from other schools and students from Liberty who definitely weren't invited trickled in. The party spilled through the house and into the front yard and the back yard like a fountain of youth. The music reverberated through the walls like a united heartbeat. Booze was strewn throughout the kitchen, any poison was yours to pick.
Monty found himself in the backyard, nonchalantly rubbing the leaves on the shrubs along the fence. He couldn't understand it...but they just felt so amazing.. Zach staggered up to him, leaning heavily on his shoulder as he stumbled with his crutches.
"Buddy," he slurred, "Look, I wouldn't generally be talking to you right now. But its my brotherly duty to inform you that somebody is attempting to beat your record at Edward 40hands."
Monty gasped incredulously, dropping the leaf and putting his hand to his mouth.
"Noooo way, that's FUCKING SACRILEGE!"
Zach nodded solemnly.
"It is absolutely." He agreed, running his hand over Monty's flannel. "Damn buddy, this is soft."
"Walmart man, walmart."
"Ew." Zach sneered, pushing off of him and staggering off in a zig-zag. "Time to defend your title."
Monty followed him, shuffling his feet along the dewy grass. It was like a gigantic shag carpet that covered like the entire earth. Mind blowing.
"This is some bull SHIT!" He declared, grabbing two bottles of the malted beer. Zach taped them to his hands and opened them. The other boy, who was from another school, laughed.
"I am going to beat you, de la Cruz."
"That's what your dad said last night after I fucked your mom." Monty countered, letting out a delighted giggle.
"What are you, 8?" Foley said, shaking his head. Monty just laughed harder, he never seemed to mind when he was the only one laughing at his jokes.
"3... 2....1!" Zach yelled. "CHUG!"
Monty snapped to attention and began to chug, feeling the weirdly soy sauce tasting beer froth heavily in his gut. He managed to finish one in 4 seconds. The other guy was hot on his tail with about a quarter left. He felt like a marionette on tangled strings that toddler had decided to hold in the air and spin.
He staggered and belched, grateful he didn't vomit, yet. It was wet and close.
"Hoooooo!" He crowed, seeing the other guy finish his first one. He pounded his second one back, tilting his head back and staggering until he was standing on only one foot.
"Monty's gonna barf. He always does, eventually. Usually after breaking a bunch of shit and one or two faces." Justin warned Charlie. Charlie shrugged.
"That's fucking masterful." The taller boy said in awe. Monty finished the second one even faster. He pumped his fist in the air with the bottle still on it and yelled a battle cry into the night sky.
"I AM THE FUCKING CHAMPIOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!" He crowed, tripping over his own feet. He felt the air rush passed his face and he started to giggle once more. It tickled.
"Oops, careful." Charlie muttered in his ear, arms looped under Monty's left bicep while Zach held on to his right, laughing.
"The champion of knocking yourself out." He jested, cutting the tape off of his hands.
"Are you sober enough to be handling scissors right now, Zachy?"
"Absolutely not."
"Please don't do a Hannah on my wrists."
"That's not funny asshole."
"Its kind of funny."
"Fuck you Monty."
Monty laughed. "Is that all you fuckers have to say to me now? Fuck me?"
"Yes." Justin interjected, helping Zach and Charlie haul Monty to his feet. Monty held on to Justin for a moment to steady himself before he staggered into the house again, tripping over the lip of the patio door and almost taking out a weird, expensive looking bust statue of some old dude.
"Excuse me sir, I don't want to dance with you." He muttered, "I want 'nother brownie." He slurred.
Charlie gripped on to his arm once more, guiding him into the kitchen. "Ah, probaaaaably not a great idea." Charlie giggled.
"But they're deliiiiicious." Monty cooed, pulling his best puppydog face. He tried to imagine he was Justin. He wasn't sure it worked.
"Aww." Charlie muttered, an untraceable but vaguely familiar softness to his eyes and his hands as he held on to Monty, "The thing is, there's just so much MDMA in the brownies."
Monty snorted, shaking his head.
"What?"
"In the brownies. I drugged the brownies."
Monty stared at him, incredulous as he felt his skin quivering as though it was its own entity.
"And here I thought you were just this beautiful, innocent ray of sunshine waiting to be corrupted...and Jesus Christ I am so fucking high right now." He lamented as the reality of it all dawned on him.
"Oh ya. You should see your eyes. You've got like, no irises left. Its kind of scary. Like Dean Winchester in Supernatural season 10."
Monty blinked. "I didn't understand a word of that. But I am HIIIIIIGH." He started to jump around to the erratic cadence of his heartbeat. Charlie quickly joined in. It didn't take long for them to start a miniature mosh pit of football players jumping and slamming into each other in the kitchen.
The air was electric, it had a current, and Monty swore he could feel it caressing him. It took a little while before he noticed Justin wasn't joining in on the fun. He found his teammate sitting on the floor in the library.
The goddamned house had a fucking library.
He was caressing the carpet slowly, but his expression was unbelievably pouty.
"FOLEY!" Monty hollered, making the other boy jump within an inch of his life.
"Fucking hell Monty." He griped, "My heart is racing already as it is." Monty flopped down beside him.
"What's up."
"You're the last asshole here that I want to talk to."
Monty groaned and sighed.
"Don't be a downer. You can pretend not to hate me for one night. We were brothers once, we still are."
"No we aren't. Not anymore."
"What's the matter." Monty shoved his shoulder into Justin's gently, the connection sending fireworks radiating through his body.
"I'm thinking about Jess and how I fucked everything up." Justin said brokenly, "I love her, man, I really love her...and my heart is racing and I can't calm down."
"Woah woah. Take a breath." Monty said calmly. Justin looked at him with that broken, puppy dog eyed face.
"I can't."
"You can. Breathe with me." He took a deep breath, feeling himself melt into the carpet like butter, but sparkle...y... as he closed his eyes. He exhaled and glanced at Justin who seemed to be slowly calming down.
"My heart is still racing."
"That would be because Charlie drugged the brownies."
Justin did a double take. "He what?!"
"He put Molly in the brownies." Monty laughed, "And I thought I was corrupting him. I was so wrong. Holy shit. That boy has an angel's face but-"
Justin stared at him, unimpressed. "Right, that has nothing to do with your influence."
"When have I ever cooked for you? I'd have to do that in order to like, even ever secretly drug anybody which I have never done and oh my god this carpet feels so good."
He ran his fingers over it and stared at Justin imploringly.
"Its like, as good as sex." He insisted. Justin ran his fingers over it, laughing slowly until it turned into a giggle, which Monty returned.
"Nah man, you aren't having the right kind of sex if this is what sex feels like."
"I don't know about that." Monty quipped, his mind drifting to the only thing that was missing from this perfect night...
He didn't remember leaving Justin in the library but he found himself in the bathroom, running his fingers over the tile walls of the shower until he decided to clamor in. He tripped over the side of the marble tub and almost smacked his head off the wall but in some sort of feat of drunken prowess he managed to dance like a wet noodle in mid air and slid down the smooth surface without injury.
"Oohhhhhoooo..." He cooed, listening to his own voice echo back to him like a melody that conjoined perfectly, to his ears anyway, with the music pounding throughout the entire house. He was pretty certain he could hear some people hooking up in the next room. There was also a solid chance he found his way to the bathroom by literally feeling up the walls and railings of the house in an elaborate Indiana Jones fantasy.
He flipped the showerhead on and played with the water's temperature, feeling the droplets soak through the front of his shirt and running down the front of his pants. Only one thing was missing.
He pulled his phone out of his back pocket and feverishly clicked call, biting his lip.
"What the...Monty?" An incredibly groggy voice answered on the other end. Monty's face split into a wide grin and he slid up and down the tub like a slip and slide, using his legs to propel himself at the front of the tub and sloshing water out over the edges.
"You sound so sleepy." He giggled.
"Uh...Monty, its 3 in the morning."
"What is time, anyway." Monty countered ponderously, "It passes so meaninglessly."
He heard Winston laugh softly and he felt the fireworks inside of his body exploding and the fluttering of the tiny, papery butterflies making his heart stutter. Or, maybe, that was the drugs.
"How high are you right now?" Winston asked, sounding half exasperated half amused.
"Hello." Monty said theatrically, "It's me..."
"Beautiful, Adele... what are you doing, are you safe?"
"I'm in the tub. My clothes are so heavy and the water feels delicious. I think this could have been the best night of my life, I just realized that you are missing." He could feel Winston smiling through the phone, and he laid back into the water, resting his head on the cold marble of the tub as the shower rained down on his legs, filling the tub. He paddled his feet like a toddler, splashing up the tiles of the walls and over the edges of the tub. He didn't notice Justin enter the bathroom in a staggering heap, his abdomen dragging along the marble and wood double vanity for support.
Monty couldn't stop talking, it bubbled out like word vomit...at least it wasn't actual vomit.
"And I just love you." Monty sighed, running his free hand over the tiles, his fingertips dancing alight with the sensation. It made the hair on his arms stand up. "I just love you." He repeated.
Justin's face exploded with shock and he leaped into the tub, displacing nearly half the volume of the water on to the floor. Monty shrieked shrilly and almost dropped his phone as Justin began to thrust and grind on him, hooting with laughter and glee.
"HAVE I DIED?! DID HELL FREEZE OVER?! MONTGOMERY DE LA CRUZ SAID I LOVE YOU! TO SOMEONE! ARE YOU FAKING THIS?! IS THERE ACTUALLY A REAL PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THAT PHONE RIGHT NOW?! WHO IS SHE?!" He screamed as he continued to pound on to Monty's thighs, the tub surrendering virtually all its contents as the water from the showerhead sprayed them. The bathroom, rest in peace.
Monty pulled his phone away from Justin as he reached for it. "No no no no." He murmured, "This one isn't for you." He shushed, pressing his fingertips against Justin's lips, giggling softly. "It's for me, only me. You understand...don't you?" Justin blinked.
"I don't know how I do, but I do man...I do. Fuck." They stared at each other for a moment, both of their eyes an inky, dilated black without any irises in sight. They wore matching, loopy grins. Monty put the phone back to his ear, suddenly fearful that Winston had hung up on him.
"I'll let you get back to your party...have fun." Winston whispered quietly into the phone. "Be safe."
"I am always safe!" Monty declared incredulously. Justin and Winston unknowingly laughed in unison. Monty heard the phone go silent as Winston hung up and his face shattered, shooting Justin a wounded puppy face.
"Does she love you too?" Justin asked, resting his head on the marble beside Monty. They really didn't fit together inside the tub very well, squashed like sardines in a can.
"I don't know...." Monty murmured. Justin made a humming noise in his throat and let Monty contemplate. "I think so?" He settled on.
"Then we have to celebrate," Justin said solemnly, "For love."
Monty nodded, with equal sudden seriousness.
"For love." He declared.
They both scrambled out of the tub, the flooded bathroom spilling into the carpeted hallway as they tripped over one another and shoved each other. They drank, heavily, the liquor slowly draining from the bottles shot after messy, spilled shot. They danced, dripping with sweat and in Monty and Justin's cases they were actually just dripping wet and soggy. And friends again, if only for just this moment held in time.
Slowly as time passed, the house began to empty, leaving a path of destruction in the party's wake. For Monty, the world was spinning off of it's axis. Gravity was all too much and yet non-existent at the same time but the - literal - ecstasy was still making him feel all too on top of the world to listening to his intoxication and sit down. He used his arms to drag himself across the walls and fell against the sofa.
Charlie was sprawled, watching the ceiling spin above him.
"That's... was eh-pic." Monty groaned, his words coming out like mashed potatoes, flopping into the sofa and sprawling over Charlie. Charlie leaned into him and laughed, running his hands over the embroidered, antique upholstery.
"I am still so fucked up." Charlie lamented with a sigh. Monty murmured in agreement, his eyes fluttering as the world spun around him dangerously. He just needed to close his eyes for a little while, but the stimulants pounding through his veins wouldn't allow him to rest. He gave up and glanced at Charlie.
"You did...good job." He breathed, his body feeling hot and cold and entirely all wrong.
"Wait...why are you wet..?" Charlie laughed, realizing Monty was dripping all over him. Monty's brows drew together in confusion.
"Am I...?"
"You're soaked." Charlie said, running his hands over Monty's shoulders. Monty shivered, closing his eyes for a moment. The room was blurring around him and it was making him feel queasy.
"Monty...?"
"Mmm?"
Monty's eyes blinked open again, and then he felt the soft warmth of the other boy's lips pressed against his. His eye's widened comically and he laid there, frozen, with his heart hammering in his chest and a wave of panic crashed over him. He pushed away clumsily and fell off the couch in a heap. He staggered to his feet, running for the kitchen. He felt it bubbling up again, word vomit maybe? No.
Actual vomit.
He retched over the garbage can, losing about a liquor store's worth of stomach contents before the entire world tilted sharply to the left and his vision went black. He crumpled to an unceremonious heap on the floor.
Monty climbed on to his bunk and pried open the vent that was level with it. He learned within a few days of his transfer (and after a victory in the squabble for the top bunk because he wasn't a fucking bottom) that the bolts were loose and clearly past inmates had used this as a stash. He popped the letter and file inside, realizing he was still crushing the envelope in his fist and tossing it in the garbage can below and replacing the bolts for appearances and settled with his elbows bent and his hands behind his head. His vein in his neck continued with its steady, relentless, tick tick ticking. He'd decide what to do about Charlie after dinner, he reasoned.
And then there was the Winston of it all...
