MCA #4, Monday Evening

[suitably_heroic]

Atton had woken up that morning with only a passable idea of what had happened the previous night; there'd been five full bottles of juma in his fridge, no food anywhere, and an overly enthusiastic message from Skywalker confirming drinking plans Atton had no memory of proposing to the guy. He'd decided the wise thing to do was to get back into bed and maybe not get out of it until he stopped feeling completely miserable on every level.

By five PM, he'd given up on that, and ordered pizza.

By eight PM, he'd opened the second bottle of juma and he was waiting, patiently, for the inevitable dramatic knock/sweep into the room combo that generally heralded Skywalker arriving just about anywhere.

[[ expecting anakin, but open before he arrives! ]]

"Then you caught me on a good night," Anakin said. "Thanks for inviting me over?"

Anakin was really, really rusty at the friendship thing.

You could sort of hear the 'you're easy to talk to' if you spoke fluid 'speaking through a bottle of juma juice', maybe?

Anakin hiccuped slightly. "We should probably have water but that seems like effort," he said.

Re: NFB

"We'll be fine," Atton said. He eyed his bottle, and amended, "You'll be fine. I intend to keep drinking until my hangover lasts a month."

That was hyperbole. Probably.

"If it lasts a month, we'll forget about tracking out what-his-ass and kicking his name."

Close, Anakin.

Re: NFB

"I could kick someone's ass drunk if I wanted to," Atton muttered. "It just wouldn't be a good idea."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"And we know good ideas," Anakin said.

"Nobody needs me to crack and go Force lightning on their ass," Atton announced.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"I would argue that some people absolutely need Force lightning up their ass," Anakin said, mishearing Atton entirely.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

Atton considered that.

"'s fair," he concluded.

It was a good thing they would both probably not be able to make it out the door in this state.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

It was a very good thing.

"I have a list for that too," Anakin said. "All politicians and about two-thrids--thirds!--of the students are on it."

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"You're on mine," Atton said, "But only a little bit."

He was considerate like that.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me," Anakin said.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"I'm a nice guy," Atton said, nodding.

No, he wasn't.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"No, you're not," Anakin replied. "That's why we get along."

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"I could play a nice guy if I really wanted to," Atton amended. "Whatever. Same thing."

Not really.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"Totally the same thing," Anakin agreed.

Not at all, guys.
