~ Three Reasons to Stay Sober ~
By Aislin Oriel
Heero and Duo stumbled up the front steps of the Peacecraft estate. Duo almost stumbled into Pagan in his stupor. "Drunk again sir?" Pagan inquired as he held the doors open. "That's alright butler, we are too." Duo replied and him and Heero made their way into the mansion. "Don't let Miss Relena see you two like this," Pagan warned, calling after them. "Ah, she's no . . . problem . . ." Heero began his shaky tread up the grand staircase. Duo, on the other hand, decided to hang his hat on the hatrack. "Hey, this hatrack is kinda cute . . . don't you think so . . . what's you're name?" "Trowa." he reminded him and removed the hat that had been placed on his shoulder. Duo laughed despite of himself and inspite of the large quantity of booze he had consumed. "Um, yeah, so I didn't know you were a girl Trow . . . oh look, the ground's moving . . ." Duo began to fall over. Trowa stopped him before he could tip to a horizontal halt on the tile. "Could you, um, what wa-" "Trowa," "Could you, Trowa, uh help me gettover to my room?" Duo slurred, speech wavering. Trowa nodded and took Duo's right arm, leading him also up the grand staircase. "Heero?" Trowa wondered as to why he was standing mid-way up the staircase, staring over the edge. Certainly he didn't have any suicidal thoughts- "This is very . . . tedious . . ." Heero attempted to climb up one more stair, instead placing his foot back down and clutching the railing as he almost toppled over. "A tradgic turn of events . . ." he moaned and started climbing up on his knees, but not before rolling down three or four stairs. "Wow, my hat moved . . ." Duo marvelled. Trowa looked incrediously at the poor drunk who was wearing his hat, but pointing at the floor. "Alright, maybe you need some help." Trowa informed Heero who was still in the crawling process; he simply couldn't be going any slower if he was sitting there. "Re . . . diculous . . ." Heero mumbled, swerving and bumping into the side, causing the wood paneling to wave into a vibration that rocked the staircase. "Not at all," Trowa turned to Pagan, "Go get Relena. Tell her Heero needs some help." Nodding gravely, Pagan agreed and went off to retrieve her. ~*~ After succeeding in getting Duo half-settled in his quarters, he walked by the main hallway to see Relena with Heero sitting on the floor. "Again Heero?" she sighed disdainfully. Heero looked as if he was about to say something, but he closed his mouth. "You can't handle alcohol at all, so you definately shouldn't drink around Duo." she told him. Heero put his head in his hands. Trowa snorted humourously and walked away. He should have thought about the consiquences because last time Relena had really given it to him. Never being the violent sort, she had surprised them all with her lung capacity. The girl could yell. "I know . . . I know . . ." Heero repeatedly mumbled as he stared at the floor again to stop the room from spinning. Heero then realized something and pointed at her. "What?" "I forgot my cat." he looked at her wide-eyed. "Heero, you don't have a cat." she assured him. He thought about that for a moment before settling his hands in his lap. "Lena-ai . . . ?" Heero asked slowly. Relena was taken aback by what he'd called her, "Y-yes?" she asked. "I'm drunk. Go . . . men. I'm sorry." Relena chuckled and nodded, "It's alright Heero . . ." she touched his arm for a brief second before shyly taking her hand away. "Okay. Get me to . . ." he faded off, trying to remember the name. He finally just generalized it. "Get me to my gundam . . . I need to save the cat . . ." he explained. "Alright, come on," she helped him up, "You're going to bed." "But . . ." Relena tugged gently on his arm to lead him away, "Let's go." she urged. "What about my cat?" Relena sighed heavily and replied, "I'll take care of your cat sweety." Heero looked deeply relieved, "Would you? Thanks . . . Ari . . ." "Arigato, okay. Now off to bed." "But I don't want to sleep . . ." he mumbled before passing out in her arms. Catching him, Relena looked up to see Trowa standing before her. "I'll take his legs." Trowa told her. ~*~ After Relena and Trowa had Heero to bed safely, they both entered the main hall yet again. "Hey you three!" a voice chirped from behind them. Turning around, there stood Quatre, smelling heavilly of wine . . .
To be continued . . .
AN: Geeze, where's everybody getting this stuff? Did they all raid Treize's wine cellar or something? Hehehe . . . more is on it's way! And while you wait, have a cold one on the house! ~ Aislin
