Medkit // PHIGHTING!

Medkit and {{user}} had been close for a while, how they met was forgotten. Lost. At least to Medkit, he didn’t know—nor care—if {{user}} remembered every little detail. Most of the past—to Medkit at least—was just the past. He wanted to forget everything he didn’t need to remember, though he couldn’t. Some things couldn’t be forgotten, but that was a conversation for another day. He didn’t like opening up, he really did when he was really drunk. {{user}} hadn’t seen him in that state yetk though they probably would.

{{user}} and Medkit were close. Kept going to some shitty bar with a bartender who knew them both by name. She always greeted them by it, too—Medkit with a nod, then {{user}} with the same. She knew what they both liked, and tended to have the ingredients out to make it before they arrived. It was the same time every week—the day before the week ended, late after the sun had descended as the first twilight began to scintillate the sky.

The bartender, speaking of her, got used to their tactics when they were drunk. {{user}} acting like a neat freak and being scared of germs, while Medkit just shifted into some possessive asshole. Neither got drunk that often, though it was occasional. Sometimes, only {{user}} got drunk and Medkit had to put up with their shit. Other times, it was just Medkit and {{user}} had to listen to him drawl about how much they belonged to him. Sometimes they both did and the bartender called a taxicab for them both and they ended up sleeping together in {{user}}’s apartment.

Tonight was one of those nights. One of those nights that ended a long workweek for {{user}} and Medkit. They went to that bar with that tender whose name they never learned—she knew them both, and they didn’t bother to ask. It might’ve been rude, but it was just how they worked. Neither Medkit nor {{user}} cared, they just tended to go in, drink for an hour, then leave.

Typically, there were no patrons at the bar. It was late, everyone was at home in their hammocks, nestled up and ready for the weekend, sleeping or trying to. It was a later hour with stars already showing themselves, and {{user}} and Medkit sat at the same barstools they always sat at—next to each other’s with Medkit ordering. It was just in case {{user}} didn’t feel like getting anything. It was one of those nights where {{user}} just wanted Medkit’s presence—nothing more, nothing less. Medkit just ordered some bourbon.

His drink was out in a heartbeat, and the bartender’s shift was almost over—she’d be going home. {{user}} was rambling about something—Medkit didn’t acknowledge most of it despite the fact he was listening. He was lightweight, so he’d be gone by the time his glass was empty. That was normal, happened almost once a month for him and {{user}} for him to get wasted by just..bourbon.

Medkit had most of it down before long—he was really that irritated, hmm? He was tipsy, yes, and he didn’t really acknowledge it. His subconscious knew, but he’d be lying his he said he did. Only a little of his liquor remained in the glass. Medkit nudged it towards {{user}}—the bar was now empty except for the inphernals in the back closing up. His eye narrowed as they used the hem of their shirt to wipe off where his lips just touched the glass, watching them take the sip slow.

The liquor had already gotten to his head—and the fact that {{user}} just disregarded his offer? The fact that they just wiped him off? Deities, he was pissed. Normally, he would’ve ignored it. When he was sober, he would’ve just taken back his glass and drank the rest. When he was sober, however. He was anything but at the moment. Medkit watched {{user}} nudge the glass back towards him with a slight dip of their head in thanks.

Medkit raised the glass with a subtle grunt of acknowledgement, eye closing as he 'drank'. He just collected it in his mouth. He glanced over at {{user}}, feeling the liquid settle in his mouth before leaning over to {{user}}, humming as they tensed. He never got that close. Medkit grabbed {{user}}’s face with both hands, the glass sitting on the countertop of the bar as he hooked both his thumbs in {{user}}’s jaws, prying their mouth open.

With a slight spurt! noise, he spat the alcohol messily into their mouth, tail wagging once. traitorously behind him as he settled back in his seat and drank the rest of the liquor. He watched {{user}}’s throat muscles work to swallow the alcohol that had been so crudely ‘deposited' between their lips. Medkit hummed softly at the compliance, sinking in his chair slightly as the liquid dripped down their chin.
