SEND A SYMBOL FOR MY MUSE’S REACTION TO YOURS: || Still accepting!
At the moment, he was a little too far gone to realize that nobody else in their group was even as remotely drunk as he was. Granted, he wasn’t so drunk as to cause too much of a scene, but it was enough that what fun he found in the situation, as little as that was, was starting to run thin. Roy knew that he wasn’t wanted there, he had to invite himself to these things if he wasn’t the one doing the inviting.
Usually was the one buying, too. Buy your fellow officers a drink, Roy. Keep that prideful little look on Cole’s face, Roy. He did all the work on this damn case, anyway, Roy.
This time, however, he hadn’t spent a dime and invited himself upon overhearing some evening plans among some other officers. Roy could say he was being well behaved, though sobriety may tell a different story the next day, but at the moment he just wanted to get home. He hated the bar the moment he stepped into it, hated the way Stefan had seemed to take it upon himself to keep between him and some of the other cops, especially once he started inserting himself into the conversations near the end of the night.
There was a reason he wasn’t invited to these things.
Feeling his hands on his shoulders as he guided him outside, however, had him wanting to knock him one. His pride was begging for it. Yet, he knew that Stefan may have been his only ticket back home at the moment.
It took a couple tries before he found what he was looking for, the keys jingling slightly as he nearly dropped them as he was pulling them out of his pocket before he turned and shoved them into Stefan’s chest.
He felt groggy and a little pissed off, knowing more of the drinking would have made the latter worse, but he still managed to sound coherent in his statement as he raised a finger towards him.
“Count on this being the only time, Bekowsky,” he said, his drunkenness showing through the pronunciation of his surname, “You scratch my car, I’ll do worse to your face. I just got done letting Cole drive it for the week.”
