I sat on my bed, talking with Cardin; he brought a bottle smelling strongly of ethanol, he was also fairly drunk, explaining why I could tolerate him.
"All in all", he slurred his words, "I just want you to know, that I apologise for the way I've been to you and tell you that you're a great mate, mate."
I honestly was amazed at how he could still manage to form complete sentences, "We're not really friends, Cardin."
"Don't ruin this, Fang. I should probably leave."
"Yep."
He left, offering the half empty bottle as a peace offering, I took it from him and swallowed a mouthful 'Not bad, oddly sweet' I chugged the rest and felt the effects nearly immediately. My vision began to blur as I rushed to open the window, dropping the bottle outside and gasping for air. At that moment the door slammed open and I spun, confronted with an angry Yang strutting towards me. "Hey, you guys are back, now it's a party!" I was unable to say more as the brawler in front of me grabbed me by the neck and slammed me into the wall.
"You almost killed my sister. WHY!?" She demanded, loosening her grip slightly, red eyes burning into mine.
"Uh-"
"They told me what you said but I'd like to hear it from you personally."
"You know what I know. At least I think you know what I know, you might actually think you know what I know, when in fact you do not know whether or not I know what you think I know because, in fact, I know that you don't know what you think I know because you want to think I know what you want me to think I know."
"Uh…What?"
I looked over her shoulder at Blake, "Hi, you look great without a hole in your stomach."
"…"
I was slapped by Yang, "Are you drunk?"
"I'm un-sober, if that's what you're asking."
Her eyes narrowed, "Cardin. Why was he here?"
"Didn't you know, me and him are tight" I crossed my fingers and showed her, "like this. See. We're like bros but not really." I then spouted five minutes of gibberish before wrapping my arms around Yang, "You are really, really strong."
"U-um…thanks?" She responded, confused, blushing slightly.
I let her go and staggered to Weiss, "I think…we should be buddies." I slurred out, resting a finger on her forehead.
"Yeah, he is definitely drunk."
"But Weiss," I pouted, "I thought we were a team, don't you want to be friends?" I then sat in the middle of the room and folded my arms.
"I think you should get some sleep." Ruby interjected.
I held up a finger, "Ssshhh." grinning at Blake, "Somebody has cat-NIP." I shouted the last part of the word and stood. "I wonder whose it is. Can't be mine, can't be Ruby's she looks like she has a dog for a pet and so does Yang. No way is it the resident Ice Queen's, it has no effect on humans and she" I waved a finger at her, "doesn't like cats. That leaves one person, the only logical person that the catnip behind Blake's books belongs to. And that person is…Penny!" I declared, nodding.
"Okay" Blake guided me to my bed, "I think you've had a little too much to drink."
"Why?"
"Penny has never been in here that's why." She hissed.
I stopped and forced Blake to start pulling, "That makes it even more likely." The others groaned. "Think about it, where better to hide something than where you have never been." Blake pulled me forward and the others pushed before I yelled out, "GRAVITY!" and relaxed my body, letting the forces of nature drop me forward. I landed on top of Blake, faces inches apart, hers was red and burning with embarrassment and something else, something…new, I then looked at her and whispered, "You have really nice eyes" before standing up and falling over again, passed out.
