Dark flicked his hair back, "I think you've had enough, pal."
"Bullshit," The drunken man replied. He couldn't even pick up another drink, never mind get it down.
"Yea, I defiantly think you've had enough. I have to cut you off."
"Aw, that's fucking," He hiccupped and started over again. This time he tried not to sway back and forth, as to look intimidating, "Aw, that's fucking… You're a loser, buddy. You won't get anywhere in life with that… at… attitude…" The man fell over.
Dark put the glass he was drying off down and shouted to the bouncer, "Hey, can you get this guy outta here? He just passed out again. Keep him out this time, eh?"
He checked his watch. It was twelve o' clock; quitting time. The one glass he had would just get picked up by the guy who came in for the next shift. He grabbed his jacket and keys and headed for home.
The spotlight came on, illuminating the countless no-see-em flies in the air. He fumbled for his keys to the door amid the giant ring of keys that he never used. The creaky door swung open and invited him in with the chilly air from the A/C. He tried to find the hall light in the dark but ended up turning the fan on.
"Shit, Link do we have any Tylenol left?" He yelled up the stairs.
"It's in the same place it's been for five years, Dark; In the Medicine cabinet."
Dark looked into the bathroom mirror at his red, bloodshot eyes. He may have been tired, but he still had a little in him to piss off his little brother. After all, it was his job, as a big brother, to annoy the little brother.
He yelled upstairs, "So how was your date, tonight, with Captain Rainbows?"
"Will you shut up? Do you want him to knock your lights out like last time?"
"I told you, little bro, I wanted to make him feel good about himself."
"Oh, yea, sure. Was the drooling and unconsciousness all part of the act?"
"You know it."
By now, Link was at the bottom of the stairs, looking into the bathroom.
"Check the date on that, and for the love of God, take your damn shoes off when you come in."
Dark downed a handful of Tylenol.
"Kay. I'm going to bed."
"You working tomorrow?"
"Yea, why?"
"Can you bring me a bottle of wine?" He said with that little brother smile that said, pwease
"Aww, so you and Sheiky have another little date?"
"Shut up."
"I'll get you a bottle… but… well, you know the drill."
Link sighed and sulked down, "Dark is the coolest person in the world and maybe someday I will be as cool as he is."
Dark laughed as he passed him by, walking up the stairs.
"I know it brother. I know it."
