Chapter Nine – The Grumpy Kiss
Duo was still asleep at noon. I doubted he would remember anything about last night. He would not remember telling me he loved me, he would not remember me telling him I love him, and he would not remember puking all over my favorite shoes. But he needed to get up. So, I padded into our room and shook Duo awake. During the war this would have been a big no-no, but right now he was sleeping like the dead.
"Duo, wake up," I shook him gently.
"Uggggggggghhhhhhh"
"Duo, come on, have some toast and tea," I urged him.
"Wha tha fug happen?" his muffled voice came to me from beneath the pillow.
"You got very drunk last night," I told him. He sat up and blinked warily. I had wisely kept the blinds shut.
"I have a serious headache," he groaned as he got out of bed.
"I have some pain reliever for you in the kitchen," I called over my shoulder as I walked out of the room. I could hear Duo pulling on his boxers and some socks before padding out into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I turned around to hug him. He looked miserable, and grumpy. He shrugged and gave me a quick and pouting peck before releasing me.
I busied myself with brushing a small amount of honey onto his toast so it would not be completely dry. But before I could pour him a cup of tea, Duo was reaching into the fridge for a cold can of cola.
"What the hell are you doing drinking that right now?" I asked him, amazed at what he would drink while hungover. He popped the tab and swallowed deeply. Then, he took the pills I had put on the counter and swallowed them. Another deep gulp of the cola and Duo looked at me with a slight smile.
"Ah, I feel better already," he sat down at the counter and took the toast from me.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Cold cola and acetaminophen. Works every time. Nothing works better," Duo took a bite of toast and chewed thoughtfully.
"You are too strange, Duo," I shook my head in disbelief.
"Yeah, but that's one of the many reasons why you love me," Duo smiled. I just looked at him, like he was hiding something from me.
"Oh, so sure of that are you?" I asked.
"I have never forgotten anything that has ever happened while I was drunk. By the way, sorry about your shoes"
Well shit.
