Flashback for Tool :D
CW: implied college party, alcohol, hangovers
Practiced and causal, JJ secured their tie and grabbed another bite of toast, plate teetering on the edge of the counter. Someone on the couch behind him groaned awake, and they smirked. “Ah, he lives.”
Angelo grumbled something and rubbed his eyes roughly, already feeling sick. He felt like death. And like he was going to be in the bathroom for the rest of the day.
JJ put their plate in the sink and skirted around the mountain of trash from the party last night. He would take it out later - or Charlotte would. Grabbing a water bottle, he leaned back over to the mirror to check his hair.
“How… how are you not dying this morning?” Angelo asked, voice rough and tired from what could graciously be called singing last night.
“I’ve got shit to do today,” they smirked, leaning against the fridge. “I’ve got SGA where the robotics club has been up my ass for funding so that’ll be great. Then I’ve got class and research and I’m meeting up with Phi Theta for a study group.
“How many shots did you have?”
“Like three.”
“Then, they switched to this,” came Charlotte from the hall, holding up a bottle of premium vodka in an elegant bottle. Angelo’s eyes went wide at the gold designs.
JJ laughed and took the bottle from her, taking a drink. From the couch Angelo balked.
“Are you still drunk?”
Charlotte rolled her eyes. “He bought the bottle empty online and fills it with water.”
“And no one but me gets to touch it cause it looks like it cost about $200,” JJ gloated, guesting with the bottle causally. By then Angelo’s head was hurting so he laid back down.
“You’re nuts dude. Absolutely nuts.”
~~
Tool held the bottle for a moment longer than necessary, clearly lost in thought. The Mechanic smirked from his chair next to the fire, watching them intently in the firelight.
“Now don’t tell me you’ve had it before?”
Tool startled, quickly coming back to themself and bringing the man his drink. They shook their head. “No, no sir I’ve never had it. Just thinking.”
The Mechanic let it go, which Tool was grateful for, and went back to gazing into the fire.
Tool couldn’t seem to get the lump out of their throat.
