Prompt: Emalf/Vendetto [Meeting Again]

When Emalf comes across his best friend of long time since forever he can remember, he can't help but feel overjoyed, despite acting on it only mildly at most. Vendetto, despite looking reluctant at first out of fear his father might be nearby if his buddy is as well, eventually eases up when he manages to convince the other that he's on his own at the moment.

They agree to catch up on things and spend friendly time together at one of the bars the blond demon he regularly likes to visit with his other friends. They sit at the counter and order some beer for themselves.

"Yo, Ven… you never did tell me why you just up and left like that." the very first awkward thing to say, yet Emalf couldn't help himself.

Vendetto looks slightly sour, he'd expected this but he wished he didn't, as he stares at his own glass, "It's so… shitty, thinking back on it, I don't want to talk about it."

Emalf decides to not push the subject any more than he should, not wanting to start things off badly. He smiles reluctantly, trying to make him feel better instead.

"Well, whatever it was, we all over there miss you, y'know."

"…I don't think 'all' do." Vendetto sets down the now-finished beer glass.

Emalf quickly tries to change the subject again, now sensing the tense mood he accidentally caused.

"Ah, either way," he continues, "Whether or not that's true, I sure did, Ven." he pushes his glass forward, suggesting another round of shots.

"One more drink?"

After the said one glass of beer, they ended up talking about all kinds of things for hours of everything that's happened to them when the other wasn't around. At least they could pretend this were still like the old times.

After a few too many drinks later, their uncomfortable atmosphere alongside their worries were forgotten and they were acting like their regular selves again, laughing at terrible jokes and doing karaoke with eachother, as they eventually then left the bar after getting complaints about being too noisy.

Emalf drunkenly tells the other about having to go back, he doesn't want Ivlis to get pissed if he ain't there. Vendetto is visibly upset, but begrudgingly accepts it anyway, as the both of them agree to split and go their own way.

But not without an accidental drunken goodbye kiss on both of their parts…

…which they'll likely regret the time they sober up, but it was a goodbye, good as any.
