Stupid Stairs

AN: I might rewrite the last chapter as I let my friend proofread it and she said it was too out of character.

Johnny Cade has fallen down the stairs at Buck's twice. Once when he was sober and once when he was ... not exactly sober. And to believe that he tripped over the same stair too.

The first time it happened was during one of Buck Merrill's parties. Dally had dragged him along and shoved a drink in his hand, and well, he could never say no to Dally. So he drunk that one and ended up with a buzz and feeling more confident about being there, drank another. 

Pretty soon he was drunk off his ass but couldn't care less as he and Dally swayed on their feet as they tried to walk over to the pool table. Dally had had a fair bit to drink himself. 

They made it to the pool table and Dally started playing against some more sober party goers as Johnny stood by and watched; occasionally saying some stupid nonsense that neither of them understood but both of them laughed at.

Eventually Johnny felt himself getting sick from how much he drank and quickly stumbled over to and up the stairs. He made it to the bathroom, thankfully no one was in there, he already had to shuffle around the couple making out in front of the door. And puking up everything he drank.

He sat there for at least a few minutes before going out and walking back to the stairs. Right as he was about to step down he suddenly felt dizzy. He stumbled down three steps before tripping over his feet.

He rolled down the rest of the stairs before landing at the bottom. He was laying on his back looking up while the room spun and he could vaguely hear people cheering and could just make out people standing over him.

He saw someone push through the crowd and crouch down near his head.

"Johnny, Johnny, man. You okay?"

Johnny managed to give Dally what was hopefully a nod before he passed out.

The second time Johnny fell down the stairs at Buck's was the next day actually.

He woke up with in Dally's room with a horrible headache. His head started pounding as he sat up and looked next to him to find Dallas sleeping there. Makes sense, it his room after all. Dally probably didn't want to try to wake Johnny up to take him home so he just dragged him back to his room.

This fact didn't make him panic less though.

And in his panic he got up and ran out the room. As he started down the stairs he looked behind him to see if Dally was following. This made it so he couldn't see where he was going. He managed to make it down, again, only three steps before tripping over his shoelace and falling the rest of the way.

He vaguely remembers being in this position last night. He closes him eyes as he hears stomping which makes his headache worse. The reality was that it was probably falling down the stairs that made his headache worse.

"Johnny, Johnny, man, again? Are you okay?"

Johnny peels his eyes open to see Dally standing over him arms crossed but still looking slightly concerned.

"Yeah, I'm alright."

He'd just be more careful around stairs now.

AN: Sorry that this is so silly, but originally this was kinda supposed to be a headcannons/crackfic sooooooooo, yeah
