Ben was very determined to be a good flatmate, after being all but a zombie these past few weeks. Work, while always busy, had hit an all time high lately and he'd not had time to do more than eat and sleep. Even shaving was hit and miss lately.
But he'd somehow scored enough points to get an ENTIRE night off, and he planned on getting shit faced while celebrating his flatmate's becoming an old man. At least, that's what he planned on teasing Gideon about, as soon as he was able to find him.
He ordered something extremely alcoholic at the bar, and then went in search of the birthday boy.
