A long, pointed tongue scrapes the inside of the cocktail glass, seeking out any lingering trickle of fluid. Finding none, the glass is finally lowered.
"More!" Terezi demands. "Bring me more of this red deliciousness!"
Roxy takes her glass and heads back to the drinks cabinet.
"It's called a strawberry daiquiri!" she tells Terezi as she gathers the ingredients... wait. That bottle shouldn't be empty! "Oh noez!"
"No!" Terezi turns her head, but of course she can't see what's wrong. "No is bad! More daiquiris!"
"Can't." Suddenly, Roxy giggles. "The rum's gone!"
That can't be right, can it? She only thought to show Terezi her mad cocktail skills after they got home from the party and now it's... whoops! Later than Roxy thought.
Time for bed.
"C'mon." She tries to pull Terezi to her feet, but the girl won't move from where she is, half-slumped on, half-clinging to the table.
"I demand more daiquiris!" she shouts, the sound muffled by her faceplant into the wood.
Roxy doesn't bother reasoning with her. She scoops Terezi up, bridal style, and the troll transfers her hold, nuzzling into Roxy's neck as she staggers into the hall.
At the foot of the stairs, Roxy is surprised by something in her mouth. She looks down to see Terezi has swiped the bowl of strawberries from the kitchen table and popped one in her mouth. She bites down awkwardly, half of the fruit falling out of her mouth onto the floor somewhere. A long trickle of juice runs down her chin, which Terezi licks off eagerly.
"I approve of the strawberries..." Terezi mutters sleepily as Roxy takes the bowl from her and sets it on the bedside table.
"Shh!" Roxy chides. "Only sleeping now..."
They are too tired to undress, barely retaining the co-ordination to collapse and pull the covers over themselves. Roxy knows they'll regret this in the morning – but Terezi will probably declare the daiquiris worth it, and right now that's enough.
"Roxy..." Terezi says in the darkness.
"Hmm?"
"I'm so flushed for you." She laughs. "Flushed as a strawberry daiquiri."
In the darkness, Roxy smiles, and cuddles up to her girlfriend.
"Love you too, babe."
