[makes an indignant noise at him and then mops his face]

This is—awful. I thought I had it—together.

I like it better than when you're all stoic.

[ Drops his hand finally ]

Have a drink with me.

Seems like—like a time for a toast, anyway…

[he needs a minute or two and a couple more napkins to be in shape for another drink of any sort, but he more or less can get it together]

[ Patiently waits for him, watching like "he's sooooooooo cute when he's weepy" ]

What’s with that look…

[he flusters, ruffling full roused-up cockatoo style, and pours and pushes a glass towards him to distract him]

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

It's nothing.

[ Still looking at him like it's not nothing even as he takes the glass ]

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

It’s obviously not nothing…

[their glasses change colour, to a very dark brandy]

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ He takes his glass, still watching him with a patented Stupid Look ]

Don't worry about it.

[huffs a tiny bit, leans in, and just kinda headbutts into Aloe’s shoulder like a needy cat for a sec]

Fine.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ He reaches up to scratch at the base of a horn with one hand, the other lifting his glass expectantly ]

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[a tiny grumbly rumble, and then he finally straightens, holding his glass out to clink against Aloe’s]

…to us…?

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ Clinks his glass with Frost's ]

To us and to tomorrows.

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

To tomorrows as well, then.

[takes a healthy drink, letting it burn away more of the lump in his throat]

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ Aloe drinks as well, but then as soon as Frost's drink is away from his lips, he kisses him ]

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[he startles a little, but then plunks the glass down so he can lean fully into it, arms draping over Aloe’s shoulders as he kisses back]
