Kio loved Daisy.
Well, not really. Kio found Daisy adorable (and extremely sexy), but the truth was that they were just "fuckbuddies," otherwise known as "friends with benefits." That was the way it's always been, and he hoped that was the way it always would be. Unless, of course, he found a girl he loved enough to spend the rest of his life with someday. Then he'd be loyal, and he and Daisy would just go back to being normal friends. But that was unlikely. Kio had to focus on the important things: making a career out of acting. The professional acting scene was surprisingly stressful... nothing like before, when it was just community theater and the occasional commercial. He auditioned, signed the dotted line, and before he knew it, he was in California, memorizing more lines than his little brain could handle and spending rigorous hours filming all over Paradise.
But none of that had to matter, at least for one night. It was New Year's Eve, and Kio — along with everyone (and everything) that breathed in Paradise — was invited to Skylar's party. Prior to that night, Kio had made plans to attend with Daisy, and he was over the moon. Neither of them had any real desire to interact with Skylar, but Daisy had to be there because of Julian, and Kio just couldn't pass up the opportunity to act stupid at a big social gathering. So Kio just sat at his window like a puppy, on the lookout for Daisy's car.

After a while, the car finally arrived. The first thing Kio noticed was that bright-ass pair of headlights, nearly blinding him. But, once his eyes got used to the light, he rushed downstairs as fast as he could and out the door. He couldn't hide his smile as he opened Daisy's car door, slipping into the passenger seat, watching as she shifted the car into "drive" and kicked off their journey to Skylar's place. Kio was unable to wipe that stupid grin off his face.
They eventually arrived at Skylar's place, and Kio's eyes promptly widened at the sight. The house was massive, even bigger than he expected. "Spoiled rich kid" was the vibe he got from Skylar, but he didn't know that this type of property existed in Paradise. He'd been to Los Angeles on several different occasions, and this house was nearly as big as the mansions he'd seen spread out along the coast. He was in awe. "...Wow," he uttered, stepping out of the car and closing the door behind him, staring up at the house in front of him, listening to the loud music coming from inside. It was a little intimidating, despite his new status as an accomplished actor.
Kio comfortingly wrapped an arm around Daisy as she buried her face into his shoulder. She was seemingly just as intimidated by this party as he was, but most likely for a different reason. He wasn't going to press further, he didn't want to talk about feelings and psych Daisy out before they even went inside. The truth was that he was starting to psych himself out. He'd been to loads of parties before, all pretty big, but none as big as this one. He let out a soft sigh, looking back at Daisy and flashing her a wide smile.
"Yeah. C'mon. Let's do it."
And so, the two of them walked inside, navigating the party for a while before pushing their way towards the drinks. Booze. The best part of any party. Kio grinned and poured shot after shot after shot, and before long, the entire situation just seemed like a blurry, muddy mess. He continued taking shots, eventually losing count and starting to get to a point where he was missing the shot glass entirely, and he was mid-pour when Daisy dragged him over to where Elliot, her old roommate, was standing. He was starting to get all sweaty from the alcohol and the ocean of people surrounding him, and he was holding onto his booze for dear life, praying the huge bottle didn't slip out of his hands and shatter all over the floor. The pair approached Elliot, who was leaning awkwardly against the wall. "Yeah, hi, I'm Kio!" he said, introducing himself to the man, who was obviously high on something. Kio's speech was slurring slightly, but for the most part, he was able to sound normal. He wrapped an arm around Daisy again, smiling softly at her display of physical affection, unaware that she was just doing it to make Elliot jealous. "We do... ah... Harbor..."
Even in his drunken state, Kio noticed the awkward tension between Daisy and Elliot as the conversation went on. All he could really do was silently watch the conversation go on, not entirely following what was going on. He half-wished he could be literally anywhere else, but he knew that he had to stay and be supportive for his friend. But still, he felt himself get distracted, looking around at the party, at the people surrounding him, listening to the loud music and yelling, and he let out a little drunken giggle. This was a party! What a wonderful way to spend New Year's Eve!
He looked back at Daisy and Elliot. Neither of them looked like they were having any fun at all. He sighed softly, feeling the final hours before the New Year begin to slip away. He wanted to have fun, not stand around and get roped into some relationship drama. He looked down at his booze and he chuckled a bit, taking another swig, straight from the bottle this time.
I'll have a great time, I know it. I just have to wait a bit.
