[LOCATION: MAIN STREET]

[Trip liked his alcohol. That much everyone knew. Rarely a day went by when he didn't have a drink of some sort. But given the responsibilities of both of his jobs, he rarely got drop dead stinking drunk.

At last call tonight, he'd passed that 5 beers ago. Everything, from Mal's admission then avoiding him to the usual feeling in the pit of his stomach that was somehow made worse by the situation, had come to head and he just hadn't been able to stop.

And now he was walking home through the deserted street, abet slowly and with many detours, so as to avoid the disappointed looks from Leo and Felix. Everything was funny and nothing hurt. For the moment.

And that telephone pole looked fun to swing around right about now.]

I think I'd look ridiculous in armour, clanking about in all that metal, not to mention that if I was in knightly armour, you'd be wearing the outfit of a princess and I don't think you'd look good crossdressing.

[Mal does the first thing that comes to mind and puts his hand over Trip's mouth to stop the singing.] Will you stop that?

[That makes Mal pull his hand away and wipe it off on his pants.]

Are you always this childish when you're drunk or is this a special occasion?

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-03 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not having this conversation with you while you're drunk.

Do you really want to know why? It's because I don't want to know what you think of me, so I avoid you so I don't have to face whatever truth is there. I'm a coward when it comes to dealing with these sort of things and nothing's going to change that.

[He sighs and looks at the ground, laughing bitterly as he does.] For all I know, you might not even remember this in the morning.

I never said it was smart, just that I was cowardly. If I gave you the chance to sort out your feelings, what then? Would you crush my heart or let me down easy?

[Mal's there, just trying to keep him steady the whole time, not wanting him to fall. Thankfully, he's got practice dealing with wobbly drunks and is strong enough to basically carry Trip around town if he needed to.] I need to get you somewhere so you can sleep this off. My apartment's closer, may I take you there? I have a spare bed you can use. [He pauses.] Though if you want me to take you home, I can do that instead. I don't want to make this uncomfortable for you or anything.

I've been told I'm usually like this. Don't take this as a slight against you, I just find that I'm a difficult person too be friends with and even worse as a boyfriend, so I don't let anybody try. It's less painful that way.

[Well, guess he'll just start half-carrying Trip to the apartment then.] My place it is. It'll only take a couple minutes.

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-04 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
We'll see. [Closest you'll get to a yes right now, Trip.]

[...yep, he's definitely going to dump Trip into the shower once they get to the apartment.]

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-04 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He's never been so thankful for someone to be throwing up than he is right now.

...He does think he'll have to go find that bucket he has around the apartment somewhere. Though he's not really trying to drag Trip around while he's still throwing up. He'll wait until he stop, then he'll lead him down the street.]

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-04 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, he already admitted he's a coward.

Mal sighs and just holds him to keep Trip standing as he pulls him along, trying to ignore who is leaning against him.]
We're almost there and then you can rest.

[He'll get better about it eventually. Like when he remembers he's Will Scarlet.

That makes him snort, not really believing that.]
Some hero I am. I can't even talk to you.
scarlock: (pic#1854651)

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-04 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It will be a trainwreck.

He just looks at him like he's mad for a moment.]
And leave you wandering around the town drunk until you're dragged down to the jail to sober up? I wasn't going to do that. Despite how I may act, I somehow do have feelings for you.
scarlock: (pic#1854694)

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-06 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you glad I found you and they didn't?

Don't be glad. You're drunk.

[personal profile] scarlock 2012-02-06 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I'm quite used to carrying Christopher home after he's had too much to drink.

I'd rather we have this discussion when you're sober and I'm sure you will be able to remember it. [They finally get to Mal's building and he ignores the stairs to instead take the elevator, not wanting to help Trip up the stairs.]
