AN: so I don't usually do Drier. I usually stick to Keveridge and timids ships but myself and a couple of friends devised a game where we give each other a ship and 2 keywords and we have to write a one shot around them.
today I got given the ship Drier and the keywords "spray paint" and "cookies"
this is what I came up with ^_^

He glanced over at the man beside him and sighed sadly as the events from the last fortnight unfolded in his mind.
"are we drifting apart?" he asked himself as he slowly raised his hand and wiped the tears away. the thought was painfully unbearable, yet the evidence was all there. the sneaking back and forth, the blatant lies when he asked where he was. all he knew was he had been spending all his time with his best friend Lucy Lucas helping her with a "project"
granted, he came home a couple of times covered in spray paint, but drew suspected it was nothing more than a cover up. a terrible thought crossed his mind as he played over every memory of the two friends in his head, the giggles, the cuddling, the supposed joke flirting. "he's cheating on me" he told himself as he felt his heart break beneath his chest. he didn't want to believe it was true. after all, tomorrow was their tenth year anniversary. Kier was all he knew. the only man he had ever loved with all of his heart. he wasn't sure how he would survive without him by his side, if he would even survive at all. the thought was excruciatingly painful. in an attempt to stop his heart from aching more than it already was, he forced a smile and turned over in the bed, coming face to face with the love of his life
"hey kierrr" he whispered as kier opened one of his big autumn coloured eyes and glanced back at him sleepily "what are we doing tomorrow"
kier's face scrunched up in confusion as he took time to think
"errrr" he mumbled thoughtfully "I don't know, why?"
feeling his heart sink beneath his chest, drew fought hard to keep it together as he sighed
"oh no reason" he mumbled back, looking anywhere but at kier to stop his voice from shaking "j.just wondering that's all"
and as he turned over in bed, he began to expect the worse as he quietly cried himself into a dreamless sleep.
sunlight broke through the curtains as drew's eyes flickered open and he yawned. momentarily forgetting the events from the night before, he turned over in bed and mumbled
"mmmm good morning beautiful" but as he was met with a vacant space beside him, he sat up confused, he feeling of worry returning to him. he was wallowing in self pity when a sound from downstairs pulled him round. a clattering of pans and plates in the kitchen as the smell of toast and coffee drifted up to meet him.
a big smile spread across his face as he jumped out of bed excitedly
"aww" he thought happily as he pulled on his dressing gown and wrapped it around his small framed body "he's making me breakfast! I was a fool to think he would ever forget something as important as today!" as fast as his legs would carry him, he raced out of the room with a grin on his face and bolted downstairs, bursting into the kitchen singing chirpily
"goooooood morrrrnin......."
he paused as he spotted him and the excitement melted into disappointment
"oh" he muttered as he stood face to face with Laurence "morning beveridge"
"morning wooly" laurence smiled as he grabbed the butter knife and dug it into the margarine tub "I'm making toast, would you like some?"
