——
Rep came home, her heels echoing on the broken cobblestones of the pavement (I was listening to cardigan, okay?) her mind foggy and her senses dulled by the alcohol coursing through her veins.

The clock on the bedside table blinked 1:34 am, a stark reminder of how late—or early—it was. Lover leaned against the decorative bedframe, chewing her nails anxiously and impatiently drumming her fingers on her leg.

The front door opened with a creek.

Lover shot up, gunning into the front room, her expression a mixture of concern and frustration. "Rep, where have you been? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

Rep shrugged nonchalantly, her words slurring slightly. "Just out with friends, having a good time."

Lover crossed her arms, her tone becoming more stern. "You call stumbling home in the middle of the night 'having a good time'? You promised you wouldn't drink so much anymore."

Rep rolled her eyes, a defensive edge creeping into her voice. "I'm an adult, Lover. I can handle... *drunk ass hiccup* myself."

Lover shook her head, her patience wearing thin. "It's not just about you, Rep. What if something happened to you? What if you got hurt?"

"I'm fine, okay? Stop acting like my mother!" Rep snapped, her frustration bubbling to the surface.

Lover took a step closer, her voice softening but still tinged with worry. "I'm just trying to look out for you, Rep. I care about you."

Rep scoffed, her anger boiling over. "W-well... maybe I don't need you to look out for me! Maybe I just need- Need you to trust me for once!"

The room fell silent, the weight of their words hanging heavily in the air. Lover's expression softened, sadness flickering in her eyes.

"I do trust you, babe, But I can't help but worry when you're out there, putting yourself in risky situations. I mean, there's all kinds of people getting hit by snakes out there, it's dangerous." Lover spoke, her volume dropping into a soft tone.

Rep chewed on her cheek before replying, her tone still flooded with intoxication. "I- well, that's fine. Snakes like me, I- if you're going to keep acting like this, I'm gonna... sue you, or something," Rep spoke her eyes dropping in tiredness as she threw her shoes off.

"Rep, I care about you. I love you, but you're making it really hard to not be mad at you right now. You may be fine, but take other's feelings into account. What if- what if you got run over? What if you got jumped? What if you got killed? Rep, what if you got kidnapped? Please, be fucking mindful, god damn it!" Lover pleaded, her voice breaking. She bit her lip, waiting a good 13 seconds before rep's reply.

Rep's shoulders slumped, the alcohol-induced bravado melting away. "I- I'm sorry, Lov, I didn't mean to upset you."

Lover sighed, her voice gentle. "I know you didn't. But we need to talk about this. We can't keep having these arguments every time you come home late."

Rep nodded, a sense of remorse washing over her. "You're right. I'll try to be more responsible."

Lover offered her a small smile, stepping forward to wrap her in a comforting embrace, or so rep thought. "I know you will, darling,"

As rep held her arms out, intending a hug, lover grabbed her hands and smiled, dragging rep into their room, and throwing herself on the bed; rep following suit, after tossing her jacket somewhere on the floor.

Rep landed with a thump on their bed, leaning in with the intention of planting a kiss on lover's lips, but lover stopped her, slight disgust evident in her tone as she spoke.

"Gross. Beer breath. Go brush your teeth," Lover said, causing a playful eye roll to resonate from rep.

As Rep stumbled slightly and disappeared into the dim light of the bathroom, lover sighed. Lover knew this wouldn't be the last time rep would come home high or drunk, but silently vowed to try and lower the number as much as possible.
