constant headache | jim/naomi. jim holden & amos burton & naomi nagata | rated T |1,118w
Amos is deep into a bottle of the Belt's shittiest hooch, which is all he can scrounge up in the wake of the collapse of Ganymede and their excellent distilleries, when he hears Holden and Naomi on their way to the galley. They're obviously also drunk, but in a much happier, gigglier state that Amos is. He's not sure why he does it, isn't one to bother with evading awkward situations since they don't much affect him, but he flops over to a nearby crash couch and pretends to be passed out. He grabs a pillow someone had left there and holds up against his chest for added realism.
Set sometime between Abaddon's Gate and Cibola Burn.
Based on the song Constant Headache by Joyce Manor.
