Bro wasn't too thrilled to know he'd be spending the night out right after he was out for three days straight, but there wasn't much he could do about it.

He ended up just messing with his turntables for a while, before he texted his friends again, making plans to meet up at the mall in twenty minutes.

🌀

There wasn't anyone waiting for him in front of his apartment when he got back, which was a pleasant surprise. He stepped in and locked the door behind him, opening up the messages one by one as he made his way to the couch and sat down. There were nearly one hundred messages on there, even a few from Dave's friends.

At about forty messages in he sent a quick text to Dave, asking if he'd have a problem with drinking a bit that night. These messages were making him annoyed and aggravated and he really felt in need of a good drink. Except he didn't want to be black out drunk by the time Dave rocked up. So maybe later drinking could be a thing, even if it wasn't enough to make him completely wasted.

He answered that he'd take his own stash if drinking was going to happen, but also asked him why, since he didn't seem that excited about drinking just a while ago. Something must have happened.

He makes plans to drop by the liquor store before going to Eridan's house, after he left his friends, making sure he had enough money on him.

2015-08-02 07:41:12

🌀

He wasn't going to let on about the messages, which had now gone from warning and condescending to outright aggressive in some cases and just generally very demotivational in others.

He instead said that he just needed a drink, and that he had enough at his place he was just wondering if Dave would be alright with drinking with him.

He was itching to grab a drink once he'd gotten through the last of the messages, but kept himself sitting on the couch until the urge had passed. He stood up to go shower instead, standing under the spray for a while.

2015-08-02 07:43:52

●

He still had a few hours to be at his place, seeing that it was around six in the afternoon, and he only had dinner at around eight.

The meet up with his friends went as expected. Threats, worry, and after that, some fun in the arcade to chill out. They offered to go grab dinner together, but he said he had stuff to do, that he wouldn't manage.

They were a bit suspicious after that, but at seven thirty there he was with two bottles of apple flavoured vodka in a small bag, plus one of bailey's, that he was intending on treasuring. He knocked, as he put his phone on silent mode.

2015-08-02 07:49:34

🌀

Eridan had stood in the shower for nearly an hour, just letting the spray was over him and thinking.

He was dressed and sitting by the tank by the time Dave knocked, his phone turned off again and on his desk form where he'd left it after he'd finished reading all the messages.

He still smiled when he opened the door, "hi."

2015-08-02 07:53:46

●

"Sup" He smiled softly at him, letting himself in. "Don't worry about the ludicrous amount of alcohol, I also had to stash up on it, so the plan is: whatever's left goes home." He said as he pointed at the bag.

2015-08-02 07:55:21

🌀

"If we end up drinking tonight I'll consume it all." He grinned and shut the door behind him. "Did you bring me food as well?" He'd grabbed his pile of games and had them stacked on the coffee table waiting for him.

2015-08-02 08:01:16

●

"What do you think? I'm a smart man, I would't risk bringing you something you didn't like. I did bring a wallet and phone though." He smiles, going to the kitchen to set down the bag, and call the number he already had memorized. "Better tell me what you want now, by the way."

2015-08-02 08:03:12

🌀

"Food. Where're you ordering from again? Chinese? Fried rice then. An' satay chicken skewers if they have them." He grinned, pulling out the alcohol and looking them over. He snorted as he saw the flavour, "a'course you'd get apple flavoured."

2015-08-02 08:05:43

●

"It's alcohol, shut up." He smiled a bit wider, nudging him as he started pacing around. He took around thirty seconds to order, before stuffing his phone back in his jeans. "Alright, they said it should be here in twenty or thirty minutes."

2015-08-02 08:07:40

🌀

He merely laughed and reached to mess up his hair as he headed to the living room. "Cool. I'm hungry, starving really. You wanna chose our first game of the evening Dave?" He gestured to the small stack, the top one being tekken and similar games underneath, ranging from co-op to vs. games.

2015-08-02 08:10:05

●

"Yo, not cool, leave my hair alone." He snickered, trying to fix it for a second, before reaching to flick Eridan's nose. "Calm your stomach, it'll be here soon. I also asked for a bottle of coke with it, hope you don't mind."

He hummed in thought at the offer, going over and starting to look through the games. "Well, super smash brothers it is, if you have this game here, no matter how deep its buried bellow the others, its not even fair for them."

2015-08-02 08:12:59

🌀

"You order what you want, I'm not fussed." He shrugged and snickered as he watched him fix his hair. His own hair was down and wavy, almost wild. He hadn't bothered to gel it back to it's normal do after his shower.

"I do have the game. It's on the bottom." He pulled it out, standing it up to put it in the console and handing a remote to Dave. "I haven't played this game in a long time. It gets pretty boring playing it by yourself."

2015-08-02 08:16:30

●

"Oh shit, someone's going to get smashed. Just so you know, I play Marth pretty often, and Lil Mac. Lalonde usually plays Luigi. I fucking hate playing with her." He plops down on the couch once he has the remote. "Luigi is so annoying."

2015-08-02 08:19:25

🌀

It was the older version of smash, and had a few glitches here and there that Eridan had learnt how to recognise and use to his advantage. "Luigi is annoying. I don't generally play any of the mario characters really. Sometimes Bowser Jnr but that'd about it. I use Kirby or Palutena. Or sometimes random pick." Kirby was his best, but it had been a while since he played with someone else.

2015-08-02 08:24:23

●

"Jade used to pick Jigglypuff at first, it was glorious. Having John's Pikachu being beaten graciously was amazing." He grins. Dave himself would never pick Jigglypuff though, it's too slow. He likes fast characters the best. "Ness is also great, get your ass beaten by the coolest guy around. Plus he's wearing shorts." He ends up picking Marth, as it was his favourite, and probably the one he played best.

2015-08-02 08:28:04

🌀

"I've tried out all the characters. Jigglypuff is amusing to play with, so is Yoshi, but I found them a bit of a bore an' a mite too slow." He grinned, settling himself comfortably into the couch as he chose Kirby and waited for the round to load. "I'm not gonna guarantee I'm gonna kick your ass but when I do don't be surprised." He snickered, nudging him with his elbow as the round started.

2015-08-02 08:30:03

●

"Oh shit, it's happening, you're going down." He grins, nudging him back as he started playing.

Surprisingly enough, he wasn't too rusty, he just had to re-learn what certain buttons mashed together did on the spot, which wasn't that hard.

He had won the first round, grinning. "You set this up for how many rounds? Two/three as usual, or was it customized?"

2015-08-02 08:32:42

🌀

"As usual. We can play as many as you want though." He grinned, turning sideways and stretching out over the couch, his feet ending up in Dave's lap.

He was a lot more rusty then he'd originally thought, and lost the second round as well. He merely smiled and settled in for the last round, completely focused on the screen.

He'd knocked Dave flying within a minute, winning quicker then either earlier round.

2015-08-02 09:03:34

●

He smirks as he's defeated, but of course only after a lot of button mashing to try and get back on screen again. "Still won, that's two zero already. Well just put a crown on my head and call me Dedede."

2015-08-02 09:05:30

🌀

"You haven't got a crown yet Dave, I'm only just getting started." He started the next round, going back into concentrating Eridan mode and won the first round, albeit after a longer period then before. He grinned, glancing at the clock and wondering if food will arrive soon. It would still be a ways away though, so he settled back for the next round.

2015-08-02 09:12:56

●

Dave leaned forwards in his seat, resting his elbows on his knees. The second round took a while longer, but Dave managed to win that one. Meanwhile, around ten minutes had already passed.

2015-08-02 09:14:13

🌀

Eridan had hunched his legs up to his chest now, moving and crossing them as he faced the screen, leant forward like Dave was. The third round was the longest, with each of them nearly knocking the other clear of the screen only for them to come back at the last second. Eridan won that one though, and all due to a slight glitch that froze Kirby's attack for half a second. He simply mashed both the attack and block and then hit Marth clear off the screen, winning.

2015-08-02 09:16:13

●

"Aw c'mon! That wasn't even fair. I demand a rematch." He grins. "This time I'm using lil mac." He nudged him with his foot having taken the liberty of taking off his shoes. "Your game is just conspiring against me."
