A/N; Watching drunk kitchen videos on youtube was certainly not one of my best ideas and this dumb drabble is proof enough.

...Also the title? Yes I've been reviewing the 60s and 70s time periods in history for finals so of course I listened to songs from the beatles as well. (And yes I am aware that it's Strawberry Fields Forever but I was trying to be witty. Note to self: stop trying to be witty)


Chapter 3: Strawberry Hills Forever

Perhaps it was not their best idea. Well anyone would assume that anything involving cooking, a video camera, and a surplus of cheap wine would not have anywhere close to what could be considered a "good outcome".

It started with Gold wasting several hours watching drunk kitchen videos on youtube and insisting on Ruby lightening up. Then it snowballed from there.

"Hey Ruby, check this out!" Gold shouted from down the hall. "We gotta do this man."

Looking back on it, Ruby was really regretting even letting Gold convince him into doing this.

Ruby stared at the computer unenthusiastically. "And what is the point of this?"

"Come on dude, we get some cheap alcohol, get drunk, bake a cheesecake or some shit, film it and then laugh at it when we're sober. It'll be fun! And we get to eat a cheesecake. What's better than that?"

"Why don't you ask Sapphire or somebody else to do it then?"

"Have you tried Sapphire's cooking before?" Ruby shivered at recalling that one incident with the macaroni and cheese. "Besides, we haven't had quality male bonding time in forever."

"Not interested." Ruby turned to head back to his room.

"Geez I was just trying to get you to lighten up a little. You always take everything so seriously," he huffed.

Gold winced as the door was loudly slammed shut.

-oOo-

"Oh Ruuuby~" Gold said as he threw open Ruby's bedroom door with one hand while holding two bottles of Strawberry Hills wine in the other.

"What do you want, Gold?" Ruby squinted before spotting the time on the clock next to his bed. "It's 1 in the morning for Christ's sake!" he complained and drowsily threw a pillow aiming for Gold's face. It missed much to his dismay.

Gold simply held up the wine and gave him one of those looks.

"You aren't going to stop bugging me about this until I say yes, are you?"

"Nope!" Gold chirped happily.

Ruby let out a long sigh before getting up and following Gold off to the kitchen.

Low and behold, the next day Red walked in on Ruby and Gold half asleep and quietly laughing to themselves on the kitchen floor at four in the morning covered in remnants of cheesecake and using each other as pillows.

-oOo-

"How're you holding up?"

"Well, I feel a whole lot better than I did this morning at 5 when Green discovered me slightly aware of my surroundings and sitting in the bath tub with the shower on." Ruby let out a groan and made his way downstairs to take some Tylenol and wallow in his pain. However, both he and Gold heard the sound of hysterical laughter coming from the living room. They soon found out that someone found the video recording of last night's fiasco in the kitchen and everyone in the house was watching it.

"Maybe next time we don't finish the whole bottle of wine just because it tastes like shit."

"Yeah."


A/N; Indeed Strawberry Hills wine tastes like crap. However, there's something magical about it where one minute you're scrunching up your face and deciding it's best to not drink anymore and then the next thing you know the whole damn bottle is empty. Well played Strawberry Hills, well played.
