Rabastan felt terrible after making an idiot of himself in front of everyone he had fled the ballroom, stumbling into walls and barely managing to not fall over.

There must have been something in that punch

He paused, panting, and rested his aching head against the rump of a naked statue. He stared at the marble crack, unable to stop the mad giggle that slipped out of his mouth.

"Behold the frozen arse, the pinnacle of artistic prowess..." He giggled again, then groaned as a spike of pain shot through his head.

The room was still spinning, and he wanted nothing more than to curl up in his bed with Amycus and tune out the world. But Amycus wasn't here, and neither was his bed, so he settled for pushing through the door on his left, hoping there would at least be a large chair he could disappear in.

He stumbled in, tripped over his own feet, and sprawled onto the floor in front of yet another naked statue.

Amycus had turned when he heard someone come in the room and opened his mouth to say something to Rabastan, but his greeting died in his throat as he saw his friend fall. "Shit," he muttered, all memory of Dominic and Adelaide momentarily gone as he hurried over to his friend to help him up.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly, kneeling down next to Rab and taking his hand to pull him to his feet.

	Rab stared up at Amycus, wondering if this was all some fantastical dream. "Am?" He frowned up at his friend, then shifted his attention to the statue looming above him. "Am, they're all naked." He stared, very serious, for half a second, before dissolving into giggles. He grabbed Ams hand and tugged, trying to get him onto the floor as well. "Come see!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Amycus resisted Rab's attempt to pull him down onto the floor. "I've seen them. It's a much better view when you're standing. Trust me," he said giving Rab a gentle pull to try and get him on his feet.

There was a couch only a few feet away that he could get Rab to lay down on. "You've been drinking," he said, hating the accusatory tone he heard in his own voice. He really should have directing it to himself since he hadn't bothered to tell Rab to be careful tonight with what he drank.

Rab let Am pull his up, and he managed to stagger over to the couch, only leaning most of his weight on his friend.

"I know! Or, well, really, I didn't know, but I do now!" He collapsed onto the sofa, pouting. "Don't hate me Am, I was with Adelaide! With her! And there were so many people and everyone was looking and I thought I was going to pass out so I had some punch, and then some more punch, and then some more punch, but I didn't know it was alcohol, I didn't, till suddenly everything was moving Am! And, and, and I puked. On her shoes. And she left. And I wandered around, and then I came here and now you're here which is good because I really wanted you to be here, except that isn't true, because what I really wanted was for neither of us to be here and to be back home with you and not feeling like I was going to explode and get goo on all the naked people." He sighed dramatically.

Amycus got Rab over to the couch and helped him sit down, settling himself down on the other end of the couch. "I don't hate you, Rab. I'm mad at myself. I should have warned you to watch what you drank tonight," he said, angry at himself.

He felt a surge of rage at Rab's mention of being there with Adelaide. "Are you and your date having a good time?" he asked, wincing a bit at the bitterness he heard in his voice. It wasn't that he resented his friend being there with a date, he just wished that he could have brought someone else. If he hadn't seen her outside with Dominic, his feelings about Rab and his date would have been different.

"Hopefully we can leave soon. Before you sleep tonight, I'm going to give you something so that you don't have a headache in the morning. Have you eaten anything?" he asked, suddenly realizing that Rab had told him he'd gotten sick.

	Rab shook his head mornfully, flopping over so his head was in Ams lap. "Nope. Just punch. So, much, punch." He whimpered, closing his eyes and gripping Amycus' knee. "I hate punch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Amycus lowered his hand to stroke Rab's head comfortingly. "I'm not a fan of it myself right now," he said quietly, hating to see his friend so miserable. "We need to get some food in you. It might make you feel better," he said, keeping his voice soothing without any trace of the anger he'd been exhibiting earlier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't want any," he mumbled petulantly. He just wanted to lie here and wait for the world to stop moving. He nuzzled his face into Amycus' stomach, enjoying the feeling of his friends fingers in his hair. "Just stay here." A thought occured to him, and he shifted slightly, looking up at Am's chin. "Shouln you be wth Riona?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Amycus laughed quietly at the petulant tone he heard in Rab's voice. "Alright. We can stay here for a little while. But before we go to bed, you're going to eat something. You'll thank me in the morning," he said, speaking from experience. He'd only gone to bed on an empty stomach once after a night of heavy drinking and had regretted it the entire next day every time he moved.

He was still stroking Rab's head when the other boy shifted to look up at him and he looked down, meeting his friend's gaze. "She'll be fine on her own for a bit. She knows most of the people here. Besides, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where I wandered off too," he said smiling at his friend. "You need me right now," he added quietly.

	Rab made a happy snuffling noise as he burried his face back in Am's chest. "Don't want you to go." He wrapped his arms around his friends waist, as if trying to hold him in place. "Everything is spinny when you're not here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Here get up a bit," Amycus said moving so he could lay down on the couch by Rab. "I'm not going anywhere for a while," he said once he was situated, rubbing Rab's back slowly. "Just relax and rest some okay?" he said quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: LIBRARY _alwaid 2012-03-27 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Rab nodded, turning over slowly so his head was tucked under Amycus' chin and an arm was wrapped around his waist. He breathed deeply, the familiar scent staving off some of the nausea and grounding him more firmly. "lv you," he murmured, eyes slipping closed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Amycus smiled as he slid an arm under Rab's head to give him some cushion as he turned his head so that his cheek was resting on top of Rab's head. This was what he needed to get through the rest of the night without cursing Dominic because of the scene he'd witnessed in the garden between him and Adelaide. Not the solitude of the library but this quiet time with his best friend.

He heard Rab murmur something, but he couldn't make out what it was besides the word you. "Just relax. I'll be right here," he whispered looking up at the ceiling and not caring who might walk in and see them there.
