[CLOSED] Whisky gin and brandy...

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Characters: Superbi Squalo & Itachi Uchiha.
Location: CC 2M, Squalo's place.
Rating: R-ish for Squalo's mouth? Also, drinking. Too much drinking.
Time: December 1st, evening after Squalo's patrol
Description: Squalo introduces Itachi to his dear friends Tequila and her cousin Vodka, in an effort to make him stop sulking after his long, lost love: Sake.

[Squalo contemplated the bottles he'd gotten so far and put away the good tequila and the whiskey. Those were his reserves to pacify Xanxus on his bad days. The rest... well, the rest were mostly stuff he'd bought to see if Xanxus would like it and ended up deciding he wouldn't. It wasn't good enough for his boss, but it was certainly good enough to get Itachi to loosen up.

Because clearly, the man clearly needed it.]

[Clearly, Squalo was exactly right. Roy had been kind enough to have his shifts covered while he was in the clinic, and what better way to celebrate his last evening off than getting completely wasted? -- Not that he planned on getting completely wasted. Only a couple drinks should suffice. Plus, having never had tequila, Itachi wasn't even sure he'd like it in the first place.

He reached what he hoped was the man's door (being unable to see the numbers clearly, and all), and knocked.]

[Squalo looked at his handy-work: sixteen bottles lined up on the counter. He smirked and went to answer the door, looking forward to a very entertaining evening.]

Hadn't seen you in a while.

[He offered as greeting, and let Itachi in.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

It has been awhile.

[He throws in as his own way of saying hi. It was true he couldn't remember the last time he had seen the guy. He stood in the doorway a moment, unsure whether to leave his shoes on- before thinking better of it and leaving them in the hallway. Spotting the row of booze on the counter he squinted, trying to make out the names of some of them-]

This stuff should do.

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

I should hope, otherwise I will be damn impressed.

[Snorting, Squalo took a seat, tacitly inviting Itachi to do the same.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

Tch-


[reaches out to find the back of the chair, and takes a seat by him.]

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

[Squalo smirked, and served the first shot.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

[finishes it with no problem, making only the slightest face at the burn in his throat.]


Tastes nothing like sake.

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's why we have variety.

[Next shot!]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

For those who enjoy it.


[shot, what shot? give him another one.]

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Consider this broadening your horizons, Itachi.

[Squalo was clearly amused, but he didn't stop pouring. He had good form for it, after all.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

Consider them broadened.


[itachi doesn't ever really smirk, but it almost sounds like he could.]

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

[It's okay, Squalo can smirk enough for the both of them.]

Now, let's see this here.

[Have a shot of a sweeter tequila.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

[finishes the shot and actually makes a face at it]


Too sweet.

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Picky, picky.

[Squalo chuckled and served the next one, with lemon and salt.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

[Itachi just shakes his head- the room spun a bit, and takes the shot from him.]


I must say I impressed by the variety you have here.

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't, if you knew who I buy booze for.

[Squalo chuckled, and gave in to temptation, taking the shot he just served before reserving for Itachi.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

And who is that?



[he reaches around and takes the next shot from Squalo before he can drink that one too-]

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll introduce you two one day.

[Squalo grinned, and watched Itachi as he took his shot. But it was an oddly pleased grin.]

For one thing, he'd appreciate having someone with decent taste to drink with.

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

Introduce-? He is here also?

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's been here first, both times I got here.

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

That is fortunate for you.


[he pauses for a moment and thinks of the people from his world who have been brought here]


Or is it not?

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

I guess. He's probably not very glad to be stuck here.

[Squalo shrugged and steal another shot before Itachi can drink it.]

But I'm supposed to be right where he is, so I guess it works out.

[Except it doesn't because... fucking ten years in the way, man.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

Hn.


[tips himself another shot before the other man can take the bottle]

Fortune then.

[requiem-no-ame.livejournal.com]

It's always good to have a purpose.

[He shrugs and decides he needs to stop drinking before he runs his mouth.]

[ofshroudingred.livejournal.com]

[too late- he's caught itachi's attention]


He is your purpose?
