week five - saturday night/very early sunday morning (bellamy)

[eisenundblut]

[Prussia has the last bottle of Meschkinnes in her hand as she knocks on Bellamy's door. Akira has his own thing going on, and she's not nearly close enough to Hiro to think she can intrude, and Like Hell is she spending any more time with Vriska, and she already checked on Lief, so-

Knock knock, Bellamy!! Surely you don't have anything else important going on, right??]

Comments

[jettisons]

[Important is pretty relative. He absolutely fell asleep on Lucina there, so it takes him a dazed second to realize that the sound that woke him up was knocking. Lucina is totally out, and he pulls himself up, crossing to the door as quietly as possible. Lucina deserves the rest after everything.]

Hey.

[He looks sort of ridiculous, and far less severe than she's ever seen him. His hair is all mussed up from sleeping and it's pretty clear he's been drinking. Don't judge him!]

1/4

[eisenundblut]

[Prussia is the absolute last person to judge anyone for drinking, come on. If anything, she almost looks offended that he started without her?!]

Hey! Thought you might be bored and lonely all by yourself, so I--

2/4

[eisenundblut]

[Wait. While she may have absolutely been referring to herself as the person who was bored and lonely, Bellamy looks way too at ease? Something weird must have happened...]

3/4

[eisenundblut]

[Hang on... that sure is... another person in there...

Huh.]

[eisenundblut]

Aaaah!!

[She points at him!! Dude! Wtf why didn't you tell her you'd be busy?!]

[jettisons]

[Bellamy makes a face at the shouting, squeezing his eyes shut. God, Prussia, how are you so loud!]

What?

[eisenundblut]

You're not alone at all!!

[Ob...viously.... that's Lucina isn't it?? She stands on tiptoe to peer over his shoulder, because she's nosy.]

'Schuldigung, should've known you'd be busy. Gute Nacht!!

[jettisons]

[Bellamy rolls his eyes.]

Nothing happened. She fell asleep.

[He has to defend Lucina's honor here, obviously.]

[eisenundblut]

...Oh.

[Well this whole exchange has kind of destroyed her momentum of pretending she was coming here just so Bellamy wouldn't be sad and alone all by himself so uhhhh give her a couple seconds to try to find her verbal footing.]

You look good, [she says finally, glancing over him again. He also looks drunk, but that's fine, that doesn't factor into her assessment.] Was worried you'd be upset.

[She reaches up and pats the top of his head with her free hand.]

Don't let me keep you, Liebchen.

[jettisons]

[Is he upset? A little, maybe. But this is more like home—certain death, averted at the last moment. Executing Vriska is still staring him down tomorrow, but if they're right, she'll come right back anyway. Raven will come back.

He reaches out to snag Prussia's wrist before he can even fully consider it.]

Stay here. I've got another bottle left.

[eisenundblut]

Eh?

[It will take more time than they have on this island for Prussia to stop being surprised when other people admit to wanting to spend time with her. She's not used to it at all, and she's startled enough that she doesn't even think to yank her hand back.]

You sure?

[-And she's not selfless enough to turn down that kind of offer just because Lucina is literally asleep a couple feet away.]

[jettisons]

[Bellamy nods, stepping back so that she can come in.]

Lucina won't mind, but she needs the sleep. [He smiles a little.] She's never been drunk before.

[Which means tomorrow is going to suuuck for her.]

[eisenundblut]

I can be quiet like a little bird!!

[She keseseses quietly to herself and follows Bellamy in without any further hesitation.]

Remind me to bring you two some water first thing in the morning. I'm kind and generous!

[jettisons]

[He smiles, leading the way to the other bed and sitting down, leaving enough room for her to join him.]

Thanks. What would we do without you?

[eisenundblut]

[Please?? Smile more?? It's such an endearing expression, it makes her smile too as she plops down right next to him.]

Dunno! [She is remembering to speak softly, even if she's still somehow just as enthusiastic when whispering.] Lucky you.

So what've you got, anyway? Share, share!

[jettisons]

[Bellamy leans over to pull a bottle from under the bed, then hands it to her. It's red wine, which isn't super exciting, probably.]

What about you?

[eisenundblut]

[It isn't super exciting, no, but she also hasn't had wine in. What feels like a very long time?? So she takes it without hesitation.

She's absolutely going to drink this whole thing and nobody can stop her. She's starting to pop it open already when he asks about hers.]

Same Meschkinnes from before. Here, trade you!

[There's still a good amount left in the bottle as she passes it over. Please don't drink the whole thing on top of whatever you've already had though, Bell, you'll probably Die.]

[jettisons]

[LET HIM DIE.

No, okay, he'll probably puke before he dies. He takes the bottle and drinks from it immediately, though. Don't let him get alcohol poisoning.]

Ready to go home, Prussia?

[eisenundblut]

[WE'VE COME SO FAR BEHAVE!!

She can't answer immediately, she's busy opening the wine and drinking from it. This is not the way wine is supposed to be enjoyed?? France would probably throw a fit if she saw her just drinking it right from the bottle like this, and barely even tasting it? Which is a funny enough thought on its own.

When she finally lowers the bottle, she has to gasp a quick breath before tossing him a grin.]

Hell yeah. Hell yeah!! What's the first thing you're gonna do?
