"Hey!" I shout after Lucio, sighing. "Oh hey babe." He smiles devilishly at me, immediately leaning in for smooches as I approach. I let him leave sloppy kisses all over my face and neck before I look at him a bit annoyed. "Luci, you're drunk." I tell him but he raises his bottle high above his head and scoffs. "Pff you assumed I'd be drunk? I'm-" And he almost stumbles backwards, if not for my grip on his waist, pulling him against me. "Hm, right." He just smiles up at me with reddened cheeks, mostly because of the alcohol. I chuckle and lean down for a kiss and he immediately pulls me into his arms. After he looses himself to the passionate kiss I see it as my opportunity to snatch the bottle away from him. He gasps and looks betrayed. "Hey!" I smirk at him and let him go after making sure he's steady on his feet. "Weren't you supposed to prepare your oh so amazing steak you were babbling about all day?" I ask him and he crosses his arms with a smile. "I was, but there's no wine." He sais and I raise an eyebrow. "One of the ingredients, duh!" He tells me as if it is a fact that I should know about. "Well." I start, holding the almost empty bottle in front of him. "I think I know why." He just grins, reaching out for it but I'm faster, downing the wine in one go. "You won't be getting any more of that. For now. You should be sobering up, the others will be here soo-" Someone clears their throat at that and I turn around, a bit startled. It's Asra and Nadia standing at the entrance of the kitchen, trying to hide their smiles, but obviously not successfully. I walk over and bring them into a hug. "You're here!" I exclaim and Nadia chuckles. "Well you were the ones who invited us after all." She says, eyeing Lucio amusedly. I immediately go pale and turn around to our 'cook'. He's just smugly standing there in all his drunken glory and I start to feel embarrassed. "Oh God, sorry! I sometimes forget how he can be such a handful.. I entrusted him with the cooking. Now I see why I should've just done it myself." I say, sighing deeply, but Asra's full hearted laugh makes me look up. "You're not mad or.. Disappointed?" I ask them and Asra shakes his head after regaining himself. He gives Noddy a look and they smirk at me. "Oh, we know Lucio, I for one knew something like this would happen." Asra says and walks over to the golden boy. He rummages in his pocket before finding what he is looking for. He pulls out a little flask and hands it to Lucio who gladly takes it. "Wait, I don't think the solution to our problem is giving him even more to drink." I say but Nadia puts a hand on my shoulder and chuckles. "That, Y/N, is not alcohol." "Yeah, it's a potion. Quite proud of it actually." Asra tells me as Lucio downs the whole thing. I stare at him a bit sceptically, but after a few seconds pass he seems to come out of his drunken faze. "W-what?" He tosses the flask back to Asra and shakes his head. "Wow, that's good stuff." He sais with a smile and I return it. "Wow. Instant soberness in a bottle. Amazing!" "Just don't tell Julian, he might use it to drink even more without consequences." Asra says with a bemused smile and we all laugh. "Haha, what should you not tell me?" We all turn around to see Julian, arms crossed looking at us suspiciously. "Oh, don't worry doctor." Nadia says before clapping her hands together. "Now, we should get to cooking if we want to eat anything today at all." Before Julian can protest she pushes him into the kitchen and trusts a spoon into the very confused man's hands. But it seems to work and we all start to put a meal together,successfully at that. After I finally set the table everyone's sitting at, our last two guests show up too. "Hey, sorry." Portia sits down next to Jules just as Muriel enters a bit shily. "Hey." He says and we all greet them. "Wow, this looks amazing!" Portia's amazed over how good the foods look and we all give each other a satisfied look. "That's because, darling, we all made it together." Nadia tells the red head and this just earns us all even more praise from her.

The evening goes nice as everyone enjoys the dinner and Lucio enjoys a few too many glasses of wine, which Julian brought as a gift, not having seen Luci's previous drunken state. We all laugh and enjoy our time together until it's time for everyone to leave. We say our goodbyes and I'm left yet again with a drunk blonde. I immediately grab him by his arm and drag him to our bedroom, hoping he falls asleep quickly. "What's the hurry, babe?" He muses, wiggling his eyebrows at me and I chuckle. "Nothing dear, I just think you should take a nap." I tell him and he sighs. I'm surprised, but he's able to take his shoes off by himself and even unbuttons his shirt and pants. I help him with the rest and soon he's standing in front of me in only his underwear. "So." He starts and sits down on the bed, eyeing me. I tilt my head at him and he smiles. "Won't you join me?" His question doesn't sound flirty for once, but sweet. I sigh as I give in, taking off my clothes until I'm also only in my underpants. "You're not as drunk as I thought." I tell him and he chuckles, falling backwards onto the soft covers, arms wide open, waiting for me to join him. I smile as I do, laying my head onto his chest as he wraps his arms around me, engulfing me in warmth. "Pff I never get drunk. Only tipsy." He tells me and I laugh. "Yeah yeah, of course." I say as I feel his breathing starting to steady itself as he gets closer to falling asleep. "I love you, Y/N." He says and I smile, craning my head up to look at him. I lean in and plant a soft kiss on his lips before answering. "I love you too." I cuddle into him even more and let the warmth slowly lull me to sleep. "Today was nice." I smile, my mind filling with thoughts of all the good times we had as a group and of all the good things to come.
