WHO: Everyone who wants to drown their sorrows or something
WHAT: Getting drunk about it
WHERE: The Spider-Web
WHEN: Today

Sure waking up to find that he was for some reason attached to a wizard nearly half his age hadn't been on the top ten best ways to start his day list that Peter most certainly did not keep somewhere in the back of his mind, it hadn't actually been on the top ten worst ways to start his day list either. So that was something to consider. Not that it made it any easier to deal with knowing that for some strange reason he found himself tethered to Sirius, things had gotten very strange very quickly, and considering his history with strange well - Peter thought he was handling the whole thing admirably.

Tonight though, well they were at the bar, because even tied together like this people still needed to eat and Peter wasn't about to just throw all of this away because he was mildly inconvenienced. So he was doing his best, passing out drinks and making food and hoping that at the very least, they could all just spend a little time there that evening and pretend like things weren't entirely fucked.

"Nothing like a couple of drinks and something good to eat to at least help make you feel like things aren't quite as bad as they might seem." And certainly he'd lucked out he thought, but like John had said, things could always be worse.

"No, I guess we never had a hand grenade phase," Richie said, a little on the unnerved side because yeah, that was pretty fucked actually. "We did have a rock war though, I'll have you remember." Richie had been the only one who'd taken a rock to the head that day, but it'd been worth it. And at the time, Stan certainly hadn't been telling them no. He'd joined in, same as the rest of the Losers.

"I think this is a little less active for Steve," Richie said with a grimace, although it was mostly fond. "I might keep it up though. It's kinda, you know. Maybe a good sore, I guess." And it was maybe a nice way to get some energy out, considering how small this place was. "Can you imagine?" He asked, wonder in his tone, "Me? Meditating? The world would explode. Or maybe just my head." Sitting still, being quiet and not thinking about anything was not something Richie would ever be able to manage.

"We did have a rock war," Stan agreed, and that was the thing about the Losers wasn't it? Because on his own well Stan was ordered and evenly paced and he went slowly at things and considered his options. With them he didn't do that so much, oh sure he wasn't quite ready to run head first into danger the way some of the rest of them did but he didn't sit back and wait all the time either, he joined them in rock fights and went into horrible haunted houses and defended his friends. He needed to get some of that back again.

He winced when Richie grimaced and he thought he could understand that, he had a feeling Octane was running on less than full strength over the last few days but it didn't stop Stan from feeling exhausted at the end of each day either. "Might not be all bad, sometimes it's nice to feel that good kind of sore." He agreed, he'd been familiar with that from time to time, not that Stan was the work out all the time kind of guy, but he'd done it enough to know that feeling. "Don't explode, we'll all be inconsolable if you do." He warned, "Try some of that Jane Fonda jazzercise or something instead."

"And we'd do it again, if we had to," Richie said, reaching for his drink. Not his first of the night and it definitely wouldn't be his last. If he had to be stuck with someone like Steve, the advantage was that he had someone who would definitely be able to carry him home later on. Plus, well, he'd been sitting here for a while and Eddie hadn't shown up yet. So. Down the hatch?

"Stan," he said, pressing his face into his friend's shoulder, because he couldn't help himself, the idea was just ridiculous. And therefore hilarious. "The only way I ever do that is if it's next to you. Do jazzercise with me, Stanley. You've gotta."

"Yeah," Stan agreed again, "We would." He didn't want to end up in a position where rock fight was his only option, but if it came down to it, for the Losers he absolutely would do it again. Where Richie seemed to be a little more loose with his alcohol consumption, Stan was taking his time, the last thing he wanted was to find himself drunk around Octane who knew what he'd end up being dragged into in a state like that.

Stan grinned reaching up and ruffling Richie's hair when he leaned into his shoulder again. "Gotta buy me a few more drinks before I'll agree to that one, Richie." He teased, but really the idea of it alone was nearly enough to make him agree. Because it would be so fucking ridiculous, but in the kind of hilarious way that Stan only ever let himself get around the other Losers and he'd missed that. He had a lot of time to make up for.

Well, that was just them, wasn't it? Richie was fast and loose and ready to make mistakes, and Stan was well thought out, thinking ahead. Sometimes really really lamented the fact that none of them had known each other for their more formative college years. It would have been such fun. They would have gotten into such trouble.

"I'll buy you as many drinks as you want, Stanley," Richie said, already raising his hand to signal more drinks. It was nice when they just floated on over to you. Magic was fucking crazy, and Richie was almost into it here. "I'll teach you the dirty, dirty art of double fisting, yet."

Stan was entirely certain that if things had gone differently, if he had been able to grow up really grow up with the other Losers his life would have been something else entirely. But it had been what it was, they'd all missed out, but they were getting a little bit of what they'd missed out on here now and that was going to have to be enough.

Like this, RIchie getting them more drinks because he'd had a stupid idea and then had the stupider idea of telling Richie about it and now they were going to do this it seemed. So yeah, things were good, better than good really, Stan wouldn't say he was glad things had gone the way they had because well - it had all been shit really, but he was glad that at the end of it all he was here with them. "God, double fisting that just sounds like something designed to give me a headache."

"It's only because I love you that I'm not turning this into a sex joke, Stanley," Richie said, grabbing their drinks out of the air and pushing one directly into Stan's hand. Look how helpful he was!

"But that's fine. You're doing it wrong if you don't regret a little bit the next day, you know? Just give Octavio a coloring book and then sleep in tomorrow. You deserve it."
