Who: Sousei and Tenka
When: 10/25 ; night
Where: their currently shared apartment
What: There's a lot of canon to catch up on. Alcohol definitely makes that much worse better
Rating/Warning: drunk people, Manpain

[Living with Tenka is simultaneously really, really familiar and also a little irritatingly different. Cutting contact for years will do that, he supposes--but nonetheless, as easily as they fall back into the groove of being partners, there's still a lot under the surface that needs to be said.

Neither of them wants to say it, though.

Sousei still doesn't like this place, certainly, and has no intentions of playing along with them--but at the very least, acting as a kendo instructor is calming. It's familiar, and separate from all of this futuristic nonsense, and while he's doing his best to adapt, it isn't bad to have something very like home to ground him.

There's that, and there's Tenka.

So when he gets home from said work, he expects it to be another night of them trying and failing to return to the place they were before, when all they had had to do was be partners, and the understanding came right along with it.]

[???????]

This is nice for you. Some of us don't care much either way for sake.

[he's still a party pooper.]

[sunshrouded]

Don't act like you're part of that 'some' - you're drinking this stuff like water!

[not that talks of tragedy forced his hand or anything]

[deontology]

[WITH A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT FACE--]

I have no interest in alcohol.

[so there]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . ]

Birthday brat.

[there????]

[deontology]

[uh huh]

This is the celebration, then.

[Hugging out their woes, drowning them in alcohol and dramatic chats.

...lacking, as far as birthday celebrations go. Or maybe it's too much.]

[sunshrouded]

Well you're not exactly throwing out ideas about what you wanna do!!

[MOST DIFFICULT BIRTHDAY BOY EVER-]

What do the Yamainu normally do for your birthday?

[deontology]

[... well, he wasn't actually expecting Tenka to try to fill in for the Yamainu...]

...Dinner. We usually get dinner.

[Mostly because if any of them try to cook like normal, it's a disaster. It's for all of their healths, really.]

That isn't really necessary here, though.

[sunshrouded]

It's kinda late too...

[Tenka doesn't even remember his own birthday, so it's kind of a pleasant surprise that he remembered Sousei's at all to be honest.

But now he's just humming thoughtfully before slumping on top of the table.]

We can get breakfast tomorrow?

[deontology]

[...? Hm. Well. They're going to have to eat regardless... two bachelors living together, amazing.]

I wouldn't be opposed.

[...]

We'll have to eat regardless, after all. [and it's not like they're hurting for money now THANKS CERES]

[sunshrouded]

[Tenka's so used to being fed by Soramaru or townspeople, okay. He's not about to offer to make a breakfast for Sousei when it might poison them both or set the house on fire or all of the above.

But now Tenka's yawning even as he grins with his face still against the tabletop.]

Then we can do that. My treat since it's your birthday.

[even though they're both not hurting for moeny but admittedly not hurting for money is a nice lifestyle change for Tenka]

[deontology]

...Fine.

[He'll accept that it's Tenka's treat, because a) birthday and b) Tenka has plenty of money.

And then he gives Tenka a flat look, even if he's feeling equally sleeping with the alcohol setting in.]

Do not fall asleep on the table.

[sunshrouded]

[cue some pouting as he does look at Sousei now]

Why not? It's our table.

[it's still a table, tenka]

[deontology]

You have a serviceable bed. Use it.

[Even if it's way more Western than their usual sleeping quarters.]

[sunshrouded]

It's too faaaaaar.

[it's really up in the air whether or not he actually thinks so

or is just saying this to get on sousei's nerves

so basically the usual]

[deontology]

[Either way, it's working.]

It's in the next room.

If you're tired, go to sleep properly. [ugh jeeze.] I am not carrying you there.

[sunshrouded]

I don't want you to carry me there! That's gross.

[but now he's just slumping entirely against the table and yawning again]

I'll get there eventually.

[deontology]

You drooling on the table is gross.

[SO GET TO IT.]

Get up.

[sunshrouded]

Don't wanna!

[NOT GETTING UP.]

[deontology]

[SO HE STANDS UP

and grabs Tenka's arm

He will drag you]

[sunshrouded]

Wahhh! Sousei's using his birthday status as tyranny!!

[he may be clinging to the table with one arm still]

[deontology]

I'm not using my birthday status at all!

[WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID

He's trying to wrench Tenka off that table now.

Why is this happening.

Are you guys five]

[sunshrouded]

[even if sousei's succeeds in getting tenka off the table

he's just going to scratch at the floor now

yeah, they're five

and with no adults to help supervise, god help them]

Tyrant! Brute! I take back all the nice things I said!

[yeah, all two seconds worth of nice things]

[deontology]

[He's going to get that pointed out, too. Sousei very abruptly lets go of him, glowering down at him.]

"Nice things"? You mean about how I'm feared, and there are layers of ice? Or the moments of occasional words that may have been compliments in between all of the insults?

Those things?

You can have them back.

[HMPH]

[sunshrouded]

Re-gifting is also really rude, Sousei!

[clearly that also works with words that tenka technically gave to him yeah, that's the drunk logic happening here]

[deontology]

You're taking them back!

[????]

Your words are hardly gifts in any case.
