Room 429, Severely Hung Over, Owwwwwwww

[the_merriest]

Owwwwwwwwwwwwww. OW.

Rikku's head was thumping and she was gonna puke.

Not gonna puke. Not gonna puke.

Maybe if she hid under her pillow, she wouldn't puke.

(for the one who lives there and has advil)

"I figured it was ..." Her tongue was thick and so dry. She took the pills and followed them with as much water as she could chug in one go, and then slumped back against him again.

"Figured it was. Light? I ... I usually don't like the taste of stuff, when it's strong. So if it had a lot I'd be able to taste it, and I couldn't, so I figured it was ... you know."

Big mistake, right there. Five or eight-sized.

Reno was going to make a conscious effort, yet again, not to chuckle too obviously.

"First rule of drinkin' booze, Rikku. If it tastes good, that's what you gotta keep your eye on the most. That's the shit that'll sneak up on you good, yo. Need more water or whatever?"

"Really?" she murmured into his jacket. "I did it all wrong. Thought it was. Th'other thing. The dackeries were good and."

She kinda forgot. Her head was thumping. Ow, stupid head. She was gonna cut it off until it learned to behave.

"I thought you had ....... paperwork?"

[raspberryturk]

"Yeah, still got some." Reno shrugged. Okay, so he had more than some. But she didn't have to know that. He'd just put the meaning back into 'covert ops' while he worked on it, was all. No problem. Not for a Turk.

Stupid paperwork.

"Ain't no big deal. You're pretty good company, even when you come tumblin' in through doors, yo."

His nose still kind of hurt, actually.

Rikku tried to remember. Hmmmmmm. Try.

"I ... so don't remember most of last night," she muttered, rubbing at her eyes. "The dackeries, and ... I don't know why I had to bug you? And ... oh, man, now you're gonna be behind more 'cause I was all drunk at you."

[raspberryturk]

"Nah, I got work done last night anyhow, yo. You and your daiquiris were a nice distraction."

A very welcome pause. Especially once the workload skyrocketed like that.

"Missed you, anyhow."

[the_merriest]

"Missed you, too," she nodded. "Should've ... left you 'lone so I could bug you sober."

She groaned. "Remind me to never, ever drink again, k?"

[raspberryturk]

"Gonna have to cuff you to my other wrist if you want me to be around to remind you, yo." Reno settled back against his headboard and shook his head a little. "And then that'll be challenged whenever I pick up a drink for myself anyhow, because I don't wanna be a hypocrite or nothin', yo."

He wasn't going to tease. She was a lightweight with a hangover. That was very, very unfortunate indeed. It was.

"We should try to get you some kinda flow chart that compares fruity drinks to how smashed they get you, I'm thinkin'. So you don't go an' have five or eight thinkin' it's safe, yo."
