Luna sighed and sat down on the couch "What if that guy is right?"
"Who?" Mordecai was more focused on the booze than on what Luna was saying.
"The caravan guy, Mordecai! What if I am a Hyperion?!"
"Don't worry about it," he said before taking a shot, "You'll figure it out in no time."
Luna took a shot "Ugh, this is strong."
Mordecai smiled "I know, I love it."
"Hey Mordecai... Please don't tell Lilith about... What the caravan guy said..." Luna said.
Mordecai sighed "Didn't plan on it... I have no idea how she would react, and it's better to keep you out of drama."
It was quiet fora minute. An awkward silence, they both hated it, but they didn't wanna continue this conversation.
"Let's play a game," Mordecai finally said.
"What games?" Luna asked.
He smiled "We ask each other questions, and for each question you do one shot. Deal?"
"It's no!" Luna smiled "Ok, first question, why do you wear your goggles?" she asked while taking a shot.
"My eyes are very light sensitive." he answered quickly.
"Then why do you also wear them at night?" she asked.
Mordecai smiled "That's a second question, drink!"
"Fuck" Luna smiled and took a shot "Now talk"
"I... I got used to them, because your eyes show everything. You can be as good at lying as you want, but your eyes will always be telling the truth." he said quietly.
"Deep." Luna nodded.
"Ok, my turn to drink," he said and drank a shot, "What's your biggest fear?"
Luna looked at the floor "Right now? That I was one of the Hyperions responsible for Bloodwing's death."
Mordecai paused and drank another shot "And what if you are? What would that change?"
Luna sighed "What would that change? That would mean I'm a horrible human being. Not even a human being, a monster."
Mordecai chugged quite a bit of the liquor "Nothing you can do about it now. But I don't believe you were responsible."
"Why do you think I wasn't responsible?" Luna asked.
Mordecai smiled a bit "A question, drink!"
Luna took a shot "Fuck, I'll be so drunk tonight."
"Well, I don't think it's your fault because you're not a person who would hurt a beautiful bird like Bloodwing. I mean, shooting Skags is different, they are ugly, but a bird like that... You wouldn't." Mordecai smiled as he took off his googles "You'll be so drunk you won't even remember seeing my eyes tomorrow."
How could I forget those beautiful eyes? I couldn't even if I wanted to.
"Ok, I have another question," Luna said, taking a shot, "Why did you really give me Volcano? As Lilith said, I'm a beginner, I shouldn't have a sniper rifle like that. And I know it wasn't just because "I needed a better sniper rifle""
Mordecai smiled "Yeah, it wasn't just because of that,"
He is so beautiful without his goggles. His eyes are so beautiful.
Mordecai continued "I was feeling guilty for how I was treating you when we met. I thought that with a sniper rifle I could repay you at least a little."
Luna blushed "Y-you..."
Mordecai took a shot "Ok, my turn. What did you think of me when we met?"
Luna rolled her eyes "That's you're a drunk with no respect for others and the biggest ego possible."
Mordecai laughed "I guess I deserve that." he took a shot "So what do you think of me now?"
Luna smiled "That you're a drunk with the biggest ego possible."
Mordecai raised his eyebrows "You drink just as much as me, chica"
Luna took a shot "What do YOU think of me?"
Mordecai looked at her for a few seconds "What do you think I think of you?"
"Hey, that's not an answer!"
He took a shot "No, it was a question. I will answer yours after you answer mine."
"I..." Luna started.
I might be drunk enough to have the guts to tell him how I feel... But should I? No, no, it's a bad idea.
Luna smiled "You think I'm the best person in Pandora, the best cook, the best sniper and the best person to talk to"
Mordecai laughed "Well, you're almost all of that, but you're nowhere NEAR the best sniper. I am."
Luna smiled "See, here's your ego."
Mordecai smiled "I can say you're the best Hyperion sniper if that helps."
Luna lauged "I guess so. So what else do you think of me?" and took a shot.
"Hmm, for starters, I think you're too insecure. I also think you'd look better in different clothes." Mordecai said, checking her out.
Luna looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing tight pants and a crop top "Don't you think I look good in this?"
Mordecai smiled "That's a question, drink."
Luna rolled her eyes "I don't like this game anymore" and took a shot "So? Do I look bad in these clothes?"
Mordecai looked at her "I never said you look bad. But you'd look better in something else."
Luna took a shot "So what kind of clothes would I look better in?"
Mordecai stared at her for a few seconds "I'll tell you later."
"When later?" Luna asked, taking a shot.
"When we're both so drunk we'll pass out," Mordecai smiled.
Luna smiled "I'm not really far from that, you know."
And then, someone knocked on the door. Mordecai got up while almost falling, put his goggles and walked to the door. "Yeah?" he said, opening it.
Lilith was standing there "Are you serious? It's 1 in the afternoon and you're already drunk?!"
Mordecai sighed "Not the first time. What do you want?"
"I-" Lilith looked inside the house and saw Luna just as drunk as Mordecai was "You need to stop drinking, Mordy."
Mordecai was annoyed "If you came here to question my life decisions, you better leave."
He was about to slam the door, but Lilith put her leg inside so the door didn't close "What I came here for is to ask you something. Can you come out for a second?"
Mordecai looked at Luna who was staring at them, and then looked back at Lilith "Why can't she hear it?"
"It's personal." Lilith said, looking at Luna with hatred in her eyes.
Mordecai rolled his eyes and stepped outside.
What did they need to talk about? Was it something about me? Was it something bad? And why doesn't she like me? I saw the hatred in her eyes. I really thought we've started to get along...
She took a shot and waited for Mordecai to return. When he did, he slammed the door behind him. He was angry.
"W-what did she want?" Luna asked.
Mordecai put off his goggles again "Nothing to worry about." she could see the anger on his face "That was a question, take a shot."
