Sho x Mitsuko
Prompt: Our muses do something sneaky.
"Can I top that off for you, dear?" Sho asked Mitsuko, leaning across the bar and taking her glass. Mitsuko nodded gratefully.
"God, I'm glad we're finally doing this. I have been annoyingly sober for…far too long," she sighed, taking her glass. She glanced down a few seats and scowled. "I just don't understand why we had to bring him."
Sho followed her gaze to where Kazuo Kiriyama sat, staring broodingly into his bottle. He smirked. "Oh, he's harmless and you know it. You're just upset because Kawada's out of town, am I right?"
"Shut up," Mitsuko scowled darkly. Sho giggled. He'd hit a nerve.
Their attention was diverted as Kazuo suddenly rose. "Leaving so soon?" Sho pouted.
Kazuo glowered. "To the bathroom. I'll be back in a second." His eyes met Mitsuko's. "Don't let him try anything, Souma."
"Sure," Mitsuko muttered, and Kazuo walked off.
As soon as he was out of sight, Mitsuko's eyes flashed to Sho's. They grinned at each other, sensing a perfect opportunity, her earlier irritation forgotten.
"I think he needs something a bit stronger, don't you?" Mitsuko suggested loftily.
"You read my mind, honey," Sho agreed brightly. "I've got just the thing… you don't think he'll notice?"
Mitsuko rolled her eyes. "Kiriyama wouldn't know red wine from vodka. I wouldn't worry."
"Alrighty," Sho sang happily, grabbing another bottle and switching out the two. "He's going to be furious," he sighed, and Mitsuko figited uncomfortably at her friend's tone.
"Not until morning, and by then it'll be too late." She grinned to herself and watched Kazuo make his reappearance. Quietly, so that he wouldn't hear, she whispered, "Payback, bitch."
