Who: Terry Boot, Michael Corner, and a surprise guest
When: Friday Afternoon
Where: Pub in Blackpool
What: One has a date and wants to forget. The other doesn't and wants to forget.
Rating: PG-13 for booze and cursing
Status: In Progress

Terry almost cancelled with Michael, mainly because he did not want to piss off any more of his friends. More than that though, he want to get drunk and forget about his fight with... Well, everybody else that day. He could easily apologise to Anthony once the anger wore off. And Andrew wasn't really a big deal. Demelza would love him once things were okay with James. James being the problem. The big problem. He had no reason to make up though. He did nothing wrong. Right?

Besides all of that drama though, Terry found himself feeling bad for Michael. Nobody should have to suffer Lavender's company. NOBODY. Maybe as a gift, for the date, he should give Michael some earplugs. He was going to need it to deal with the boycrazy ditz.

Apparating to Michael's brother's pub, Terry walked in with a smile. Best not to look too upset. He moved to sit down at the bar, "Anybody happen to see Michael?" He grinned. "If not, I'm getting started without him. Lager please."

Once Noel got home from work, he changed out of his work clothes and took a quick shower. Then, headed for Josh's pub, in search of Michael. He hadn't got a response from Terry so he hoped everything was okay with him.

The pub was bustling, like usual. Josh had a good establishment. He walked in, glanced around. Neither Michael nor Josh were in sight so he headed for the bar.

"Harp please, Henry," Noel grinned, sitting down. He glance first to his left, then his right. "Terry!"

Terry had to argue with the bartender for a while until he got a straw for his lager. He smiled when he heard a familiar voice and spun around, just barely able to keep from falling off his chair, "Noel? What are you doing here?"

Not that he minded, of course. He HAD wanted to talk to Noel after all. "Really nice to see you." He put his arms, giving puppy eyes for a hug.

	"Michael said he wanted to hang out," Noel replied, hugging Terry. "So I came over here." He sat back down, his expression concerned. "What happened? Are you okay?" He took a sip of his Harp and waited for his friend to answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hugs really did make things better. Which was an odd thing to be thinking at the moment considering he wasn't even close to drunk yet. He sipped on his drink a bit before answering. "James and I got into a fight. He came over and we talked... Then he practically called me a whore, told me to go fuck a stranger, and... I punched him. Then he left. OH. Then I insulted the Jewish faith thingy to Anthony. Told Andrew I didn't want to talk to him at the moment. AND Demelza is angry because of me and James."

He ran a hand through his hair and sipped on his lager through the straw.

	"Wow. It's not been a good day it seems," Noel said with a sympathetic smile. He leaned his elbow on the bar, chin in hand. "James is your friend or boyfriend?" He really didn't know much about Terry, except that he was a great musician. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Friend!" Terry blushed, looking down at the bar. "That's why I don't see the big deal. I like him though. A lot. But he's only noticed me as his best friend. He was always flirting with some guy or girl, going home with them. Then he goes and gets mad at me for something HE does all the time." The little common sense part of his head said that James was jealous, but that didn't make sense.

"I don't understand it."

	"Well, maybe if you told him you like him?" Noel offered. "Sounds like he's jealous though. Good on you for punching him, he shouldn't talk to you like that especially if he's done worse." He sat up properly again, tapped his fingers on the bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Michael had been busy upstairs talking with Orla over the journals. Damn if he'd pass up talking to a girl who obviously liked comics as much as he did. If only he could get through tomorrow night with Lavender. He actually shuddered at the thought. Him and his big mouth.

He got downstairs and after Josh bitched at him a moment for not actually working, he poured himself a pint. Scanning the bar he spotted Noel first, him being the taller of the two, and then Terry. He headed over and setting his beer down on one side of Noel immediately stood between the two men and slung an arm over each of their shoulders. "Boys, it's time to get hammered." He looked at Henry. "Shots all around."

Terry had just managed to reply, "Ha, like it's that easy." When he felt some SHORT person throwing an arm around him. Oh yeah. Michael!

"Oi. 'Bout bloody time you got here, mate. Ready to bemoan your forecoming date with the Queen of Bimbos?" Terry smiled, glad not to be talking about him and James anymore. He refused to believe things would be that easy.

"Oooo, I just got an idea. Noel, instead of you having to go to the trouble to find somebody to make noise with, why don't you just send Michael and Lavender to your house for a night? I'm sure they'll make enough noise."

	"Well, it's that or forever not know and be in each other's faces for...whatever it is you did," Noel replied, taking a sip of his beer. He laughed when Michael suggested shots. "Oh no, shots? Mikey. You know those kill me." "No, no one has sex in my flat unless I'm involved." He said with a grin at Terry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Terry couldn't help but laugh at Noel. "Then we'll just have to get you a bloke to take home tonight. You need to get that revenge done as soon as possible."

He turned to Michael, "I'm up for shots. Want to play a drinking game? If Noel can handle it?"

Terry finished off his lager, pouting when the straw made noises showing there was no more. Damn. Oh well, one way or another he'd be getting drunk.

"Oh don't slack on me. Terry and I came here to get shitty. You can't be far behind us," he grinned at Noel.

Michael shuddered at the very idea. "God, no. I will not be fucking Lavender Brown. You may not believe this, but even I have standards."

Henry pushed the shots of Jack towards them, knowing that's what Michael usually ordered. "Bottoms up," he smiled, picking up his shot and downing it quickly.

	Noel tossed back the shot, made a face. "Ugh. Whiskey. I bet 20 quid you'll sleep with her. Whore." He teased with a laugh and ordered a round of tequila. "I'm gonna be...god, I don't even want to think about it long before you two." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	terrynboot 2008-08-16 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Careful. I'm pretty sure everybody's slept with Lavender. She's a whore." Terry frowned, remember one guy in particular who slept with Lavender. "I hate her." Terry grabbed one of the shots and downed it. Alcohol was good. "You're gonna be what?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corneredartist 2008-08-16 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh I see. Pot meet kettle, but you're on, pretty boy," Michael laughed. "20 quid that I don't." He looked at Terry and grinned. "Now I do believe you mentioned a drinking game." That should definitely get them good and hammered and really that was Michael's ultimate goal at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So drunk I start doing things I don't remember," Noel replied to Terry. He really was such a lightweight. It didn't take much for him to get that state and if they were in fact going to be playing a drinking game, then yes, he'd lose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm willing to throw 20 quid in on that bet. You're definitely going to sleep with the tart."

Terry smiled, "Well we could do 'I never', 'Toast', or just last to get drunk gets his bar tab payed off." Truthfully, he had no idea about drinking games. Most were done in the company of Demelza, Avery, and them. They usually just threw him in the closet when he got drunk enough. "And Noel, I bet I get drunk before you do."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Michael laughed and shook his head. Did they really think he was that bad?

"Hmm," he said thoughtfully. Michael rubbed his chin. He really should have shaved. "I say we play 'I never'. Always interesting, that one." He grinned at his friends and lifted the shot. "I never...slept with a natural redhead." Michael drank his shot with a smile. He never did sleep with Ginny and she was the only one who's carpet matched the drapes.

	"Don't worry Mikey. I'd be betting against me as well," he grinned. "Especially because annoying or not, she's got a nice rack." "Yes, I don't have to drink." Noel grinned and did victory arms. He laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	terrynboot 2008-08-17 06:13 am UTC (link)
	Terry made a disgusted face. "Ew. Nice rack or not, she's ANNOYING. And probably STD-ridden." That and he'd rather push Lavender out the window. Still, to each their own. "We'll get you next time." Terry tilted his shot back then smirked. "Right. I never slept with a muggle." He left his new shot alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Michael shook his head with groan and ran a hand through his hair. "Really don't want to think about this bird anymore tonight," he laughed.

He grinned at his friends. Michael didn't take the shot either. "Looks like no one's gonna drink this round." He smirked at Noel. "I know that big whore has slept with a muggle. A few from this bar." He elbowed him playfully.

	:S sorry guys. today has just not been my day. "What's that saying? Oh! More diseases than a hospital," Noel said with a laugh. "Yes, yes. I'm a whore." "So it's turning into a sex I never. Alright." He grinned and looked down at the shot. "I never..." He thought about it for a moment. "Had sex in the back of a moving vehicle." His shot stayed where it was.

	corneredartist 2008-08-17 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay wait just a motor vehicle or a moving vehicle?" Michael wanted to clarify because he'd done it plenty in the back of Josh or his dad's car, but never in one that was still moving at the time. His hand hovered around the shot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	scarsicantmend 2008-08-17 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Noel laughed. "Like moving vehicle. Like driving-down-the-road-while-you're-doing-it moving vehicle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corneredartist 2008-08-17 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Michael thought that's what he meant and took the shot. He looked over at Terry, curious to see if his friend had done this or not. He pulled out his smokes and turned away slightly to light it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	terrynboot 2008-08-18 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Whistling innocently, Terry took his shot and tilted it back, giving a smile when he was done. "I'm going to be drunk before the night is through, aren't I?" He put on one of his pouts and sighed, pouring a new shot. "I never... Did it with a Quidditch player." He left his shot alone and smiled at his friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay, so maybe I won't be trashed before you two," Noel said with a laugh, leaving his shot where it was. (Reply to this) (Parent)
