warning: crack filled chapter. kavehtham, mentions of alcohol, sexual jokes

"c-cyno you take that -hic- back right now!"

cyno laughed and rolled his dice, "kaveh you are so fucking wasted!"

"you look like a tomato yourself," he retorted, sloppily rolling the dice.

you placed a card down, "uno!"

tighnari sighed, "Y/N, wrong game."

you giggled, leaning onto him. "sorry~"

tighnari sighed, "you're in no better shape than kaveh... i told you to stop drinking!"

"live a little," you shrugged.

"cyno! get off of me, you're heavy," cyno's spouse complained.

"nooooooo," cyno whined playfully.

"you're not even drunk! cut it out," they retorted. "also it's your turn."

cyno lazily looked at his cards and placed one on the table, then he used a move, dealing damage to kaveh.

"h-hey! why are you only attacking me!? Y/N is playing too!"

you grinned evily, looking through your cards to find which one, but your vision was getting more disoriented by the second. "uhhh... yay! i won!"

tighnari facepalmed, "Y/N for the third time, we're not playing uno."

"awwwwh," you pouted.

"now look what you did dumbass," cyno's spouse smacked tighnari's arm. "you made them sad! apologize."

tighnari sighed, visibly annoyed, "sorry Y/N."

"kiss me to make me feel better," you said deviously. there's no way he'd-

tighnari pressed a short kiss to your lips, making everyone look over. kaveh's mouth dropped, "HUH?!!!!! Y/N AND TIGHNARI- YOU BOTH ARE- WHAT?!!!"

"be quiet," al haitham shushed kaveh, turning a page in his book. "you're being a disturbance. also, you're losing."

kaveh scoffed and slammed his cards on the table, "t-that doesn't matter! since when have you two been dating?" he looked at al haitham. "and how did you figure it out before i did? you're not even into this stuff!!"

"well maybe if you weren't so chaotic and disorganized all the time, you would have seen them holding hands for almost the whole day."

all those words exchanged by the two scholars flew by your head, registering the fact that tighnari kissed you. in front of everyone.

you hid your face out of embarrassment, tighnari chuckling and making you feel the vibrations through his chest.

"get a room," cyno's spouse called.

tighnari gave them an unamused expression, "tell that to the idiot lying down on your lap."

"hey!"

you giggled and called to your boyfriend, "tighnariiiii..."

"what is it," he asked gently, arms still wrapped protectively around you.

you booped his nose, relishing in his now-rosy tinted face with an astonished expression. "cute."

"don't do that in public," he scolded you.

"whyyyyy?"

"..." tighnari would never admit it, but he really did enjoy moments like these. but, as of now, seeing your blushing face and the various bandages covering what he had done a little earlier, plus your drunken state made him want to exercise self restraint.

self restraint that was being torn apart thread by thread. all he wanted to do was steal you away, sober you up a little, and have you all to himself.

was he always this possessive? these new feelings were new and a part of them scared the young male, considering these were foreign to him. and yet he welcomed these feelings - albeit hesitantly - little by little. after reading a lot of books concerning romance, he learned that those emotions are normal.

it didn't feel normal though, not to someone who had only had a school-boy crush before he met you.

"tighnari?"

"yes," he asked you again, gently of course considering your drunken state.

you gave him a small chuckle, hugging him impossibly closer to you.

"what's gotten into you," he said sassily, attempting to cover up how much he was swooning over your clingy behavior.

"nothingggg i just really like you."

tighnari turned even more red, feeling as if he had drunk the alcohol instead.

from next to him, he heard his ex-crush's laughter, "your tail is wagging like mad! you both are so cute."

"shut up," tighnari retorted. "and get off their lap, cyno you idiot."

cyno smiled and sat up with a laugh, "it's quite late, how about we end things here for tonight? Y/N looks tired."

"sounds like a plan to me," tighnari said, picking you up in a bridal carry. "say goodnight, Y/N."

"g'night," you mumbled, already letting sleep take over from his warm embrace. he left the restaurant on his route home after getting both of your belongings, bidding everyone goodnight as well.

"goodnight," cyno and his spouse said together, the door closing.

cyno's spouse looked over at the two males, "you heard them folks, go home."

"with this idiot? that's out of the question," kaveh slurred. al haitham sighed in annoyance and stood up, helping kaveh stand (who could be arguably compared to a limp doll) as well.

"stop making things difficult for yourself," al haitham scolded kaveh. "have a good night, you two."

as they walked out, cyno's spouse leaned over to their husband, "they're totally gonna make out."
