"At least I have more dating experience!"
"With women. That you weren't interested in. Because you're gay."
"Which I didn't know at the time!" Yo slammed his glass on the table a little too hard - it was a good thing the Nightmaster's lair was unnoccupied for the time being, but it still earned him a sour look from the owner in question. "And experience is experience, isn't it? Which still means I got more dating experience than you!"
Why were they having this discussion again? Why did it matter? The Nightmaster had forgotten after the third or fourth shot, but realized he didn't really care. Getting into petty discussions with the one he had once considered his nemesis was inevitable, even after the irreversible change their…..relationship had gone through. And honestly, it was just plain fun.
"Please." The bat drawled as he served the two of them the seventh (or eighth?) shot of the night. "I bet- I bet you'd never been kissed. Or even know how to kiss properly. Kind of hard to do that when you're not that committed, wouldn't it?"
Had he been paying attention, he would've seen the indignant expression in Yo's face. Or the defiant sparkle and lit up his eyes soon after. But he was too focused on getting more alcohol in his glass, which is why he could barely react when the panda nearly tore the collar off his cloak while pulling him down for a kiss.
…ah.
He had been way off about Yo's kissing experience, after all.
And it must've been clear on his face, since Yo irradiated nothing but smugness once he pulled away, breathless. "If you're gonna challenge me like that, better put your money where your mouth is."
At this rate, they would both have to steer away from alcohol. They always ended up taking stupid decisions while drunk, it seemed to him.
So why not just take one more while at it?
Yo's look of utter shock was more satisfying than it should've been when the Nightmaster pinned him against the wall, both his hands pining the panda's above his head. Even more satifying was the shudder he got as he whispered into his ear.
"Challenge accepted."
