 "Heeheeheeee!" Yukii snickered as he wound himself around various trees in the park. His bag was heavy, and he couldn't wait to crack open what was inside. It had been a bit since he'd had a good steal, and this time the loot was liquor. "Capt'n and Jack, yer my very best friends!" He said quietly, having found a quiet place to hide. Well, hide as well as one could in the open. But this place was nice: off the path, good number of trees and some bushes, and further away from the lamp posts that would soon be alight. Sunset was always the best time for a drink, Yukii thought. Sighing, he stared at the bottles, knowing he wouldn't have long to live this lifestyle. He'd been cleaning up, getting things in his apartment and his life ready for this coming December. He was determined to take a kit home with him this year... but until then, a night of drinking here and there couldn't hurt, especially when he knew how to be safe and smart about it. Smart. Yeah. Yukii stuffed the bottles back into hiding, looked around to make sure no one had seen, and kicked back in the grass to wait for the sun to go down...

 Ryuu wasn't sure what was worse. The fact he hadn't seen Kira in forever, or the fact he hadn't had a drink in that long. He was upset, of course. He had fallen head over heels in love and then suddenly, violently, he lost him. Ryuu wasn't going to visit Kira. No. He knew Kira disliked too much attention or company, and the fact he had dealt with him for so long meant that briefly, for a time being, Ryuu had entertained him. Perhaps if he had just kept being that entertaining then he'd still be wanted and needed. But, he wasn't. Even now he wondered what had gone wrong. Had Ryuu not done enough? Had he drank too much? He had stopped when Kira started allowing him to visit. Stopped because Kira was more fun than the alcohol, much more fun. Yet, then Kira left and suddenly Ryuu felt a familiar pang in his heart, the pang the booze caused to go away. He wanted to replace it with laughter and bad decisions.
Then, he heard a voice. The male's head tilted to the side to spot a rather handsome noodle, biting his bottom lip. Ah, s**t. He really needed to stop playing this game. Falling for someone quickly, fighting for them before they quickly dumped him and his heart. He had always been able to quickly forget his previous loves, so why did his heart still ache now that Kira was gone? Perhaps because the male had not only been a love, but his first friend. Perhaps because he lost two things instead of one. Perhaps because now he was truly alone, alone and unable to pay for the one thing that substituted a friend.
The male was giggling about something. Something fun and enticing. Ryuu was curiously peering at him, halting in his pace. His eyes flashed as he saw booze being shown. Was he going to approach the male? The red male had suddenly slid the bottles back into hiding and Ryuu almost whined. He wanted to approach the boy and ask for a swing, but really, wasn't that rude? Ah, when did Ryuu ever care about being rude? Or even limits? He never had before, why start now?
So, quickly he slicked back hair and wings, padding closer. His eyes flicked about, softening. He didn't want to seem like a threat! Then again, he was too small and slim to really be one. Smiling warmly, he flopped down beside the male, grinning. "Hey there! Hows it going? I saw your little stash. Need some help knocking it down?" He never was the best at introductions.

If Yukii had been sitting up he'd have fallen over. As it were, he did some sort of flip he was certain could never be repeated and landed on his feet, staring at the black figure in front of him with eyes as wide as the rising moon. "Holy rat's tail, batman! Why you gotta scare a Noodle like that?" He hadn't noticed the male approaching, and he wasn't sure if that, the fact that he seen the booze, or the actual sudden assault of words scared him more. Trying to calm his breathing, Yukii flopped on his rear end and checked the bottles for cracks. When all seemed ok, he turned back to the other with a huff. "Ya know I shouldn't give ya any, ya scared the daylights outta me! But..." He looked around, then shrugged. "Eh, why not. Long as you can wait till dark so we don't get caught." It had been a while since he'd drank with someone, and the thought of having a companion to tip it back with made him kind of happy. Besides, the winged male had seen his booze and might go tattling if he turned him away.
Shaking his head and huffing again, Yukii resumed his position as before, but tilted his head to look the other over. He couldn't help a grin at the lopsided colorings. That and the bright red collar... it was almost cute, if males were described as 'cute'. Frowning, Yukii realized he'd been having issues with the 'male role' as of late. Oh well. Probably just from that other dude, Zane or whatever. Nice guy, little off, but friendly and someone he wouldn't mind seeing again. In the meantime... "What's yer name, Pipsqueak?"

Ryuu frowned at the reaction, though laughter did escape when he realized just how marvelous it was. A flip of some sort and a string of words he hadn't heard mashed into the same sentence. It was silly, amusing. However, the laughter cut short as, again, he was reminded of a male that did not have the time of day for him. A male that had just as wonderful reactions to Ryuu's silly movements and had made him feel so safe. The hurt welled, and he almost began to excuse himself to find a local bar. However, he could be patient, right? He didn't want to be. He wanted to drown himself. He wanted to forget the one man that had actually lingered. Sickening. It sickened him.
As the male flopped down and checked the bottles, briefly, Ryuu smiled cautiously, laughing slightly. "I didn't mean to scare you, honestly!" He raised his hands in defense, laughing lightly at the male, amused. "Realllly? I can wait, as long as you don't mind little old me!" He flopped right beside the other, smiling warmly. Until he saw the other staring. He froze, ears lowering suddenly, biting back his sudden insecurity. s**t! Why had Kira done this to him?!
"You don't have to stare. I won't do anything. Just here for booze." He softly, lowly grumbled back, realizing how bummish he was being. He didn't care. His head tossed back, body resting into the ground. At the question Ryuu smiled brightly, tail flicking. Pipsqueak? That was new. "Ryuu! What is yours?"

Yukii chuckled lightly at the other's defense, his tail swaying in amusement as he expressed a note of self-conciousness. "Ain't starin' cause I don't trust ya, just wanna get a look at my drinking buddy 'fore the dark and the drink make it harder." Yukii grinned. Sure, Ryuu had white on him, but he was mostly black and the night could get dark if they wandered anywhere. Plus, Yukii had no way of knowing what kind of drunk this guy would be. Rough? Loud? Would he try to go on some epic adventure, or merely stumble around laughing? No matter what the case, Yukii was supplying the drink so it was his responsibility to keep track of the nights adventures and all the attendants. "Yukii. Ha, yours ends how mine starts, ain't that somethin'?"
Chuckling again, the male gave one last studying look at Ryuu and looked up at the darkening sky. Come on, sun, go away! Yukii needed to relax a little bit. All this 'getting ready to be Daddy' stuff was starting to wear him out already, and he didn't even have the kit yet! Sighing, he felt himself start to worry again. What if he couldn't get the kit this time, either? What if he'd been adopted already? What if he didn't want him as a dad anymore? What if he hated him for taking so long? And if he did adopt him, what if he ran away? Or got sick? What if he hated his room, his toys? What if... Just, what if?
Trying not to fidget with his mind going ninety miles an hour, Yukii decided to get to know his nights buddy a bit more. "So, Mr. Ryuu dude, why ya drinking t'night?"

Ryuu flashed a hearty grin back at the male, hands folding into his lap as he shifted into an upright position. Playfully, as always, he pretended to flick hair across his shoulders, giggling sweetly. It was apparent the promise of drinking had pleased him enough.
"Whatcha think? Do I fit the cut?" He listened as the other mules over how their names ended, nodding in response. His good manner seemed to shiver once, noting that Kira would have said something like that at one point.... Noticing things Ryuu didn't was... Had been Kira's habit. Quickly, he shook that thought process from his head. He needed to stop. He needed to try and forgot Kira, because that was what the other had done to him. Forget. Like it was just a fling, just like in the old days.
He was disturbed from his thoughts, thankfully, by Yukii's question. Briefly, he scowled, though it was a playful one. "Ah. Just Ryuu is fine, no Mr." He shook his head, and then again he remembered Kira, though this time simply to answer the question.
"Ah. My first crush doesn't care for me anymore, so just drinking the sorrows away." He mused back, glancing over at the male, smirking lightly. "What about you?"

Yukii had to shake his head lightly at the thoughts that popped up when Ryuu giggled and preened. Oh boy.
Then he snickered. "I jus' like nicknames, Ryuu, they're fun to play with. Fer instance, I'll probably call ya 'Pip' more often than your real name... As for drinking..." Yukii shrugged. "Ain't nothing sorrowful, just enjoying while I can~" With a sigh, he stared back up at the sky, then glanced over at Ryuu.
"Sorry 'bout the crush, man. Love's rough, ya know?" Though he really didn't know himself. He never thought much about a partner, a girlfriend... Zane had brought the word 'boyfriend' to that list, which made him shy away even more. Besides, he had being a daddy to think about first. Right? Well, no, Yukii knew he was doing things backwards... But love of another was something that made him skittish.
He was just about to open his mouth, voice a tid bit of this, when he realized the sun was gone. "Oh! Great timing!" Yukii jumped up to a sitting position, a bit outwardly skittish at his inward thoughts, and pulled out his bottles, grinning. "Capt'n or Jack, my new friend?"

He nodded as the male mentioned nicknames, folding his arms as he impatiently glanced at the sky. At the mention of drinking, his tail flicked, just once, threatening the sun quietly in his head. His ears flicked at the apology, and suddenly they lowered, a flicker of pain slipping across his face before fluttering into the night.
"Ah. Not your fault." He wished it was, so he could blame someone other than himself. Was he useless? Was that why he lost Kira? Boring? He had stopped partying for the man, stopped drinking and running out and visiting raves... And yet, he was nothing to the other, and it stung. His tail flicked, quietly, and he glanced at the sky once more before lowering his head into his palms. What did he do wrong? What part of him had failed? Was he not enough in a world where everyone desired the best? The handsomest? Smartest? Cleverest? What was he, in all these categories of perfection? He could not label himself, and maybe this was why Kira vanished, for he had no label.
He was horridly grateful at the mention of booze, head raising as his smile, pained, widened. "Ah, hell, mix 'em." He didn't care to see the world right now...

The red male had caught the sadness in Ryuu's eyes, voice, everything. Yukii wasn't sure what to say to him, if he could say anything. He felt a little bad about giving him drink, knowing drowning one's sorrows wasn't always the best... but, sometimes, it's what a guy needed.
"Cheers to that, mah new friend." Yukii put down the bottles and gently clapped Ryuu on the shoulder, before diving back in his bag. He then produced a few plastic shot glasses, not quite as large as normal glass ones as they'd been bought -yes, bought- from a cheap convenience store. He sat a couple in front of Ryuu, and two in front of himself. Taking care not to spill any, he poured them each a shot of each, and lifted one in each paw.
"Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!" The male declared, shooting the other a grin, and downed both shots at once.

Pleased when the drinks were made and arrived within his reach, the male's hands reaching up and snatching the drinks and downing them after Yukii's first drink. It felt comforting, the warm liquid settling deep within his stomach and starting it's journey of blurring the memories, as he intended.
"This is good!" He chirped, at least slightly more chipper now that a drink was in his hands and down his throat. He'd regret this in the morning, he was sure, but right now? Ha. Precaution thrown right out the window. Drinking with a stranger at night? Yes. Totally. What was that about not speaking to strangers? When did Ryuu ever listen to rules?

"'Course it's good!" Yukii grinned, "I only drink the best!"
The male poured a couple more shots for them each, then put the bottles back in his bag. The night just started, and if they drank too fast Yukii knew all sorts of bad things could come of it. Being drunk was only fun until one got sick, and the hot liquid would spare them no mercy. Not to mention, Yukii needed to feel out Ryuu as a drunk so he'd know what to expect, if he would black out, go nuts, or simply giggle till he passed out.
Inwardly, he sighed. Already he was thinking like a dad, wanting to make sure Ryuu would be ok and taken care of instead of just laughing and throwing caution to the wind. "I'm too young for this shat..." Yukii muttered, shaking his head and downing one of his shots. Clearing his throat, he chuckled. "So, Ryuu, buddy, pal... Pipsqueak!" He chuckled again, the initially fast intake of the liquor making him feel a bit more bubbly. "What do you like to do fer fun? Well, besides get drunker than a skunker!"

He glanced up at the nickname, spine twitching. What did he like to do? Did he even know? What more was he than a drunk pouring his problems into cheap shot glasses? He didn't work. No. He had a job until he was fired recently. He didn't read or sing or play games. What did he do? He sulked. He remembered and wallowed and drank. He tried to party to drown the thoughts, hoping the pounding music would eliminate any voice wishing to break through irrationality and become reason. That was it.
"I go to parties." Was all he managed as the booze began to corrupt. Good. He was enter that blissfully happy state he loved so much. Nirvana would be reached then crumble as he would ultimately go too far, as always, and end up blacked out in the grass. Hell. Maybe he would make it home this time...
His tail twitched in thought, wings fluttering as the brief happiness began to settle in.

Ahhh, parties. Yukii was quite familiar with those from back in his day... Gah, he felt so old! With that in mind he downed the other shot, thought for a second, and pulled the bottles out again. Eh, what the hell.
"Parties, eh? Sure will miss those days. Ah well." He went to pour another shot, shrugged, and just took a swig from the bottle itself. He doubted anyone who was a drinker would be worried about cooties or the like.
So... he liked to party. What else? Yukii didn't have any cards on him, so Kings or Rummy was out of the question. He wasn't good at coming up with entertainment in situations like these, since he either drank alone or with many. Hm... Oh!
"Now, I ain't tha best at comin' up with entertainment, but if I recall, truth or dare seems teh be quite... entertainin' when yer drunk~"

If Kira saw this would he be disappointed? Would Ryuu be nothing more than a failure in his eyes? Why was he still wondering what the other would think, anyway? Kira was gone. Ryuu was alone. Again. This time it hurt, stung, and corrupted. This time it felt like drowning, his first love being his first heart-break.
"Truth or Dare?" Hell, he didn't care what happened anymore. A game? Fine. Yes. Make him forget, please. Make it stop hurting. He didn't care what he did, what games were played and drinks were shared as long as Kira was erased. As long as he was forgotten and forgot. He didn't care anymore.
"Yeah, why not?" Was his response, wings shifting and legs folding as his arms rested around them. Ha, he wondered if he even would remember tonight in the morning.

Yukii let his head tilt to the side, watching Ryuu carefully. He certainly didn't seem in the moment, more like way off in La La Land. Without a word, he sat one of the bottles in front of him. If he was still sad, he wasn't drunk enough yet.
"Alright, Mr. Sourpuss~" Yukii chuckled the tease, grinning at the male as he tried to balance a shot glass on one finger. "Truth, er dare?"
