It's only after the sixth martini -- or maybe it's the seventh, come to think of it? -- that Pegasus thinks to ask "why was it we were doing this again?"

"I dunno," Jounuchi says blurrily, "to forget, wasn' that what you said?"

Pegasus nods hugely. "That was it, yes." In a bright tone he adds "I suppose we'd better have more then, hadn't we?"

The ironic thing about it, or at least Pegasus found it ironic a few martinis ago, back when he could still pronounce the word, is that both of them are forgetting the same man, Kaiba Seto, CEO of KaibaCorp International.

"A coloss... a coloss..." Pegasus pauses, "a huge jerk," he says, after some thought.

"Yeah!" Jou pounds on the bar. "He's a ...what you said." He looks up at Pegasus. "Serve him right if both of us don't fuck him, never again."

"A very good idea, my friend," Pegasus tells him wisely.

There's no need to ask who will we fuck instead, at this point, but Jou does, because seven martinis have not made him any less obvious. After a couple more, he even agrees to it.

He hangs from Pegasus' shoulder all the way up to the penthouse. "My dear," Pegasus says chummily, "you're drunk," and Jou, who could have said you are too, doesn't, because he can't seem to say anything at all. He can't seem to walk very well either, which is how they end up tangled together on the carpet right inside the foyer, and Pegasus very helpfully takes the top, because after all Jou's too drunk to.

He's not too drunk to yell though. In fact, he yells a good deal. He yells all the way through, and most of it sounds pleased -- Some of it actually makes sense, although that's not the part that sounds pleased.

By the time it's all over though, he's sound asleep. Pegasus pokes him a few times, just to make sure. "Jou darling," he murmurs, "are you awake?" But of course he isn't, and once he's quite sure, Pegasus gets up. He washes his hands, tidies his clothing a little, and goes back downstairs to the bar; there's always the chance, after all, that someone else might be trying to forget Kaiba tonight.
