Who Brendan and William
What Hanging out around the house
Where Their house
When Tuesday night

It was one of the girls at the salon's birthday, so Brendan had taken his workers out for drinks after work, calling William to tell him he'd be home a little late. And he was, arriving home in a pleasantly tipsy sort of state, snickering over Trinket coming to sniff him, his hand rubbing at the dog's head in a pet before he went to tugging off his coat, stumbling a little. He got it hung up and headed towards the kitchen, a glass of water on his mind since he didn't want to be hung over at all, so was getting water into him.

He tripped over the door jam to the kitchen and snickered again before shuffling to the fridge to pull out the jug of water, getting a cup down and having a large drink, "Ooh, that's good," He said to himself, leaning to the counter and closing his eyes. He couldn't quite remember how many drinks he had had, but it was at least four. And when those four were large birthday margaritas, it took a toll on him.

The door opening and Trinket's nails clicking against the floor woke him from his place on the couch where he'd drifted off watching TV. He'd been a bit miffed he hadn't been asked to come along and drink as well but that had mostly faded, especially as he watched a very tipsy Brendan come through the door and then end up in the kitchen. Hearing the other man's statement he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glancing in that direction thoughtfully.

For the moment, though, he remained quiet.

Brendan had thought inviting William would be rude, really, since the man didn't know anyone and they didn't know him, and they weren't inviting their significant others, so he shouldn't either. He figured he could see William later, enjoy his company then.

Once the water was downed, Brendan moved into the living room, seeing William and smiling, moving to sit down on the couch by the man.

"Hey you."

	Eyebrows remained raised as he just tilted his head to follow his lover's movements, watching him. Even when he was greeted he didn't speak, just studying Brendan quietly. He felt like playing difficult, since Brendan had ditched him for the night and came back drunk without even bringing him a drink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked at William for a long moment before smiling weakly and leaning over to kiss his cheek. "Hi." He didn't think he had done anything wrong so he was trying to greet William warmly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	William's nose wrinkled a little bit. "Hello, my little alcoholic." He coo'ed. "Enjoy the party?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bored, lonely, not intoxicated." He answered. "Got stuck home alone tonight, go figure." Even Carson had gone out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan took a moment, hand moving to William's shirt on his arm, stroking it a little between thumb and forefinger, "I'm here now, though, you know," He pointed out with a faint smile still playing at his lips, "So, you don't need to be lonely. And we have...We have booze, so you can be intoxicated and...then you won't be bored?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But see, you are useless to me as drunk as you are and drinking in my own home isn't nearly as fun as drinking in a bar. So I think I'll just have to remain bored." He replied, looking back to the television. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan blinked a little, "Well hey," He sat back with a frown, "I'm not that drunk. And if you wanted to come, you could have asked! It was just a work thing," He was a bit confused now and crossed his arms. His frisky was going away, "Fine. I can just leave you alone, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I didn't say I wanted to be left alone." He sighed. "That is the last thing I want after sitting around all evening with only the dog and the cat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then stop moping," Brendan shrugged, looking at the man, hand again going to his sleeve, "I'm here, aren't I? Stop pushing me away, William. Jeez. It's not like I'm passed out or anything," He raised his eyebrows, "I could sit and watch TV with you, if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sighing, William glanced at his lover. He felt cooped up sometimes, since he had no real friends nor did he work anywhere with anyone. Sure, he could probably call up his agent for drinks but the guy was extremely annoying and told the worst stories, so that was out of the question. He was bitter because he didn't get to go out and have fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Brendan didn't know all that, so was confused as to why he was getting this cold treatment, his body sort of leaning away, recoiling as he looked to the television. He frowned a bit more and moved a hand to rub through his hair, sighing gently. He just saw it as William being upset with him for being drunk so he tried not to act that way, trying to sober himself by will. Even if it made no sense, since William drank plenty. But Brendan couldn't logic out any other reason for the man's attitude.

	"It would be far more useful if you could read minds instead of just telling people what to do." He stated with another sigh, looking back at the television. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"At least I don't need a super power to be able to tell you what is on my mind," Brendan replied, huffing, "I am confused. I don't know why you are upset with me. Ta da. No need for a super power." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't get to have fun, Brendan." He huffed out, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't have friends or co-workers. I have you, and by the time you get home you don't seem to want to go out again." William sighed. "I don't get to have fun outside of the bedroom." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan listened before nodding, "I can go out again, you know," He pointed out, "It's not like I'm all used up. I'll go out again if that is what you want. I will." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not going to drag you out of the house just because you are willing to humor me." He scowled. "You've already had a party and a day of work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan sighed and lay back against the couch, rubbing his eyes, "Tell me what you want from me, William. Tell me so I can do it. I want you happy with me. That is what I want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britishice 2009-03-25 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"I am happy with you, Brendan. I'm just...also restless." He'd go out alone, but he worried what would become of him if he got too carried away. Either he would end up using his ability or he'd end up in bed with someone. Neither was a good position for him to be in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2009-03-25 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"Then let's go out," Brendan rolled his head to look at William, eyebrows knit together, "Let's go out so you aren't restless," And aren't prone to wander, he added mentally, since he wasn't about to forget that William was new to the whole settled down with one person sort of thing.

	"I don't want to." William mumbled as he scooted closer to Brendan so he could place a kiss to his lover's forehead. "Isn't anywhere to go, anyway." William never claimed he was an easy man to please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2009-03-25 12:55 am UTC (link)
	Brendan groaned, leaning into William though as he turned his body to get closer, "Then stop making me feel bad about not going out right now. God, you are impossible sometimes," He commented, hand going to the man's chest to rub at it as he kissed his jaw, "You know that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britishice 2009-03-25 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"I know. I just don't want to drag you out again." He shrugged a little, leaning his head to Brendan's. "We can go out tomorrow, maybe." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
