Gakuto wasn't sure why he thought he needed a drink, but one or two wouldn't hurt to loosen him up before heading back out to the outpost. He couldn't take up all his boyfriend's time, after all. He knocked on Byodoin's door, wondering if Ohtori was hanging around.

Byodoin answered after a couple knocks, holding the door open for Gakuto to come inside. "Hey there, Red. Come on in and get comfortable. Ohtori's out right now macking on his boyfriend or something, so we have the place to ourselves."

Gakuto snorted. “Ah, so that’s where Ryou must be.” He said, heading inside. “Thanks for having me! I’m heading out back to work tomorrow, so I’m looking to loosen up a little!” He went to sit in a desk chair, looking around Byodoin’s room. Nice and tidy, as expected.

Byodoin set about getting out some bottles of various liquor, as well as some cans of beer. A really good selection. "Take your pick... avoid the stuff in the unmarked bottle though. Inui-sensei made that and I'm not sure a normal person can drink it."

Gakuto pouted. “Then why put it out, Big Guy? That just makes me more curious.” He set about making himself a mixed drink. “But I’ll avoid it, because that guy is a weirdo.”

Byodoin laughed. "Well, I personally was planning on having a glass of it. Maybe mixing it with something, even."

Gakuto raised an eyebrow. "But you're like, superhuman." He pointed out, sipping his drink.

Byodoin nodded. "Exactly. I was just saying that it's out because I'm planning to drink it."

Gakuto laughed. "Okay, I got you." He finished his first drink pretty quickly and started making another. "So, you doing okay?"

Byodoin poured his own first drink and downed it. "I'm in a weird place. The kid situation has me stressed, but at least my relationship with Safety seems to be going well."

Gakuto grinned. "I'm sure you'll find a way to make the kid thing work. I am glad you're hitting it off with Mizuki-san, though! He's super nice!"

Byodoin nodded in agreement. Mizuki was very nice, if a bit of a busybody. "The kid thing is as worked out as I think it can get for the time being. I'm going to send monthly videos... looks like Kitano intends to send videos of the kid from her end, too, so that makes things easier."

He'd already received a video, actually.

Gakuto downed his second drink. “Yeah, videos is all you can really do, short of asking her to send the kid here… and this is no place for a kid.” At least, not yet. “Gotta say I didn’t think the blonde was genetic, though.” Yeah, he had seen the picture Kintarou posted.

Byodoin raised an eyebrow, nursing his second drink. "You thought, what, that I bleached it? Who has time for that?"

He got his communicator out and turned on the video of the confused kid playing with toys to show Gakuto. "This is the video the kid's mom sent me. He's pretty cute."

“Tachibana, apparently.” Gakuto shrugged. Gakuto looked at the video, tilting his head. “He is pretty cute. And calm. Not what I was expecting.”

Byodoin shrugged. "I was a cute and calm kid too. My parents used to drag me to their hippy meetups all the time and I'd just play by myself."

Gakuto made a third drink, finally feeling himself start to loosen up. “What happened? I mean, you’re still pretty calm, but you’re a beast now.” He grinned.

Byodoin laughed. "Puberty, mostly. And then weird government experiments." He wasn't actually banned from talking about it.

Gakuto nodded sagely. “I see. Lucky bastard.” He grabbed a rather hard liquor to add to his drink. “I’ve always been small.”

"I really bulked up after they gave me the serum... grew a bunch of hair too, though. I was... more delicate, I guess you could call it, beforehand." Not that Byodoin had ever been super delicate. Or short.

Gakuto sighed. “Yeah, as if delicate is ever a word that could describe you.” He gulped down his drink, his cheeks starting to become red. “You know… I bet when you get a chance, you’re gonna be a great dad.”

Byodoin downed the rest of his glass and poured himself another. "I hope you're right, Red... never really imagined myself a parent but if I'm going to do it I want to do it right."

Gakuto nodded. “You’re already a better dad than my old man.” Gakuto pointed out. “Just by wanting to do it right…”

"No offense, but your old man was an embarrassment." Byodoin declared. "You deserve better than what you got. You're a good guy and deserve the world."

Gakuto stared at Byodoin, his eyes wide. “...What…?” Hiyoshi had said stuff like that, but he thought that since they were dating, he was just biased.

Byodoin stared back, unimpressed by that dramatic reaction. "You deserve better than a father who didn't put any effort in and stifled you as an individual. The Red I know is a great guy."

Gakuto looked at his glass, trying not to be a whiny baby. “Thanks…” He said softly, pouring himself a fourth drink. “...He’s dead now, so…” Even if his father wanted to change, it was too late. “I guess I was just saying your kid is lucky.”

"Did you at least have someone to step up when your old man wouldn’t?" Byodoin was curious. "You seem to know what makes a good dad even if your own dad was worthless."

Gakuto rubbed his eyes, drying anything that was threatening to spill. “Yeah…” He nodded. “Jirou’s dad. Akutagawa-san..he always made me feel welcomed in his house. Even bought me birthday gifts.”

"He was the real dad in your life, then. It's good you had someone like that." Byodoin nodded his head. "I just can't wrap my head around people who reproduce and then don't bother to be involved. Seems... lazy."

Gakuto nodded, sipping at his drink. “I’m really lucky. Really lucky.” Lazy was certainly a word to describe his old man. “I’m never gonna be a dad, but I would never just… like, why?” He groaned. “Nevermind. Fuck him. But you. You’re good people. Such good people.”

"I just do the bare minimum. Kind of sad that makes me a good person." Byodoin pointed out, not really seeing his desire to be a good dad as something as honorable as Gakuto seemed to think it was.

Low expectations, Byodoin. It’s low expectations. “No, you’re a good guy!” Gakuto insisted. “This stuff is good. Can I try the secret stuff, too?”

"A little should be okay..." Byodoin mused, filling a shot glass with the buttery booze and handing it to Gakuto to try.

Gakuto grinned and took the shot, downing it like a pro. He stared at the empty glass in horror. “...That was terrible.” He said. He felt it in his nose, and his head was swimming. To get rid of the taste, he downed the drink he made.

Byodoin laughed at that reaction. "It's a bit strong, but not horrible. At least not compared to the other monstrosities that the scientist cooked up."

He was pretty sure the third one he'd tried would actually kill anyone weaker than him. And the first had tasted like rubbing alcohol.

“Yeah, I won’t try anymore. That was enough.” Way more than enough. He kinda felt sick. “Man… what was in that… I feel all floaty.”

"Who knows. The mad scientist made it, so it might be poisonous." He'd have to keep an eye on Gakuto to make sure he didn't die. For now he handed him a bag of nuts. "Eat something."

Gakuto looked at the offered food and started laughing. “I can’t believe you’re offering me your nuts! How scandalous!” He cackled.

Byodoin rolled his eyes, but cracked a smile. "Just hurry up and eat my nuts, Red. It'll be the most action I've had in months."

Gakuto giggled and ate a handful. “Poor Big Guy, going after a virgin…” And then he realized. “Oh shit, my boyfriend is a virgin. I mean, we’ve done handjobs, but…”

Byodoin raised an eyebrow. "That's more than I wanted to know about Weirdo's sex life, but congratulations, we're in the same boat."

Gakuto gasped. "You've given Mizuki-san a handjob?!?!?" He shrieked. "No way!!"

Byodoin stared. "What? No! I meant we're both dating virgins. I think Safety would have a heart attack if I touched his dick. Just the kiss made him hide for awhile."

"That's so cute." Gakuto giggled. "You're going after a cute guy." He sighed. "Wakashi says I'm pretty. He really is a weirdo…" He furrowed his brow. "What if he finds someone prettier….?"

"There's no way he'd find someone prettier than you, Red. You're a keeper." Byodoin reassured his friend with a pat on the back. "Have faith in yourself!"

Gakuto hugged Byodoin. "You're so nice!! Mizuki-san better start being your boyfriend soon! You deserve all the kisses and handjobs!!"

Byodoin laughed, amused by that list of things he deserved. "I'll be sure to let him know that you said that. I'm sure he'll be thrilled."

Gakuto laughed, hiccuping while he did so. "I should give Wakashi a blowjob. He deserves it…" He looked around the room. "Where is he, though?"

"I can call him for you if you promise not to give him a blowjob where I can see. Or in my room in general." Byodoin offered, using his communicator to send a 'come get your boyfriend' message to Hiyoshi. "Keep eating those nuts."

"Why would I do that?" Gakuto gaped. "I respect Wakashi and his boundaries." He ate another handful of nuts. "And I'm actually not a voyeur."

"The term you're looking for is 'exhibitionist'. A voyeur is the one watching." Byodoin replied, relieved that he wouldn't have to risk seeing Red mack on Weirdo.

Gakuto blinked. "Yes, that one." He stared at Byodoin's face for a long minute. "...you aren't a voyeur, right?"

Byodoin made a face. "No, I'm not. Especially where my direct subordinates are concerned. That would be weird."

"Very weird." Gakuto nodded. "No offense, but I like my time with Wakashi to be nice and private." He grinned, whispering loudly. "Because when we're alone Wakashi is super sweet and cute and nice."

"He's a good man. I'm glad he's treating you right, Red." Byodoin figured both Gakuto and Hiyoshi deserved the relationship. They were good together.

Gakuto was gushing. "He's amazing, even if he can be a brat. I can, too, so it’s okay." He laughed. "I love him so much." He looked around again. "I want him here… my chest hurts."

"Yeah, that might be a sign of alcohol poisoning..." Byodoin looked concerned.

Gakuto’s face felt so hot. "Do you have any water…?"

That’s when a knock on the door announced Hiyoshi’s arrival. He didn’t know exactly what to expect from a ‘come get your boyfriend’ text, but considering Byodoin had been looking for drinking partners and Gakuto had responded, two plus two in this situation equaled probably not something great.

Gakuto gasped and went to stand up to answer the door. The ground was suddenly racing at his face and he let out a loud yelp.

Byodoin was actively hitting the button to unlock the door when Gakuto tried to stand, and then he was catching Gakuto. "Shit Red. Stay seated and I'll get you some water. Weirdo, come inside."

He laid Gakuto in his bed and grabbed a bottle of water for him.

Gakuto grumbled and sipped the water while laying in Byodoin's bed. "That was so uncool.. "

Hiyoshi only caught the last seconds of everything while the door slid open, and right now all he could think was he was glad that Byodoin was so reliable. Hiyoshi was over by Gakuto's side in no time, and by the spread of alcohol bottles Byodoin had out, he didn't need to guess what happened. "Gakuto-san, how much did you drink?"

Gakuto gave Hiyoshi a silly smile and held his arms out. "Wakashiiii…." He giggled. "Just four…" He thought about it. "And a shot of gross mad science stuff."

Byodoin was of course barely even a little tipsy. "Red knows how to really pack them away. He drinks like a fish!"

Hiyoshi gave Byodoin an unimpressed look, but didn't say anything. It was already done, there was nothing that could be done about it now. He sat down on the bed beside Gakuto and helped him up into a sitting position. "So since you're half the size of a normal person, that four may as well be eight."

Byodoin laughed, nodding in agreement. "Makes it that much more impressive. Drink your water and eat more nuts for now though, Red... you'll be feeling it tomorrow otherwise."

At least there was probably a hangover cure spray in medbay.

Gakuto sipped his water and ate his nuts, looking at the look on Hiyoshi’s face. "Please don't be mad." He said. "I just lost track…" His brain caught the quip and he frowned. "I would have to be under 3 feet tall to be half the size of a normal man…"

"I'm teasing you, Gakuto-san." Hiyoshi watched as Gakuto ate and drank, glad that Byodoin had had the sense to get something besides booze into him. "And I'm not mad. I'm your boyfriend, not your mom. You're allowed to make your own choices. Even bad ones."

"Loosen up, Weirdo. Drinking now and then isn't horrible as long as he isn't making a habit of it." Byodoin slapped Hiyoshi on the back in a friendly gesture. "He talked about you a lot, you know. Congrats on the handjob."

Gakuto gaped at Byodoin. "I didn't!" He thought hard. "Okay, but like, don't just say that!!" He looked back at Hiyoshi. "I didn't mean to!"

"You don't have to repeat it!" Wow, that was exactly what Hiyoshi wanted to hear from his boss, Byodoin! He couldn't help but go red, all but sputtering in indignance. He didn't blame Gakuto at all, but Byodoin on the other hand was sober enough to be held accountable. Still flushing, Hiyoshi turned to Gakuto. "Can you walk or do I need to carry you?"

Gakuto tried to answer by standing up, but he just ended up almost falling again. "Carry me, Kashi. Okay?" He would make it up to him later.

Ugh. Byodoin knew just how Gakuto intended to make things up to Hiyoshi too. At least Hiyoshi was as uncomfortable as him now, that was a plus. "Take care of yourself, Red. Maybe drink a little less next time we hang out... we can do sake bombs or something."

Hiyoshi's question was answered the moment Gakuto stood up, and right away he picked Gakuto up bridal style, careful to keep him as upright as possible. "Ready?"

"Yeah, sake bombs!" Gakuto giggled. He flushed when Hiyoshi picked him up, but immediately wrapped his arms around Hiyoshi’s shoulders. "You'll cuddle with me?"

"Yes. As long as you don't puke." Or so Hiyoshi said, but the truth was that he'd clean Gakuto up and go back to cuddling him even then. "Thank you for taking care of him, sir." Hiyoshi gave Byodoin a bow by way of a nod of the head, and with that, turned to take Gakuto back to his room to tuck him into bed.
