Drunk, Tears- Scorpio

You had only meant to have a couple of drinks but somehow Scorpio had practically inhaled the whole bottle. This wasn't good. You knew Scorpio couldn't hold his alcohol very well and it was only a matter of time before things got...out of hand.

“Scorpio?” His cheeks had already grown red and his eyes looked glazed over. The alcohol had already taken hold and Scorpio was no longer himself.

“What ish you looking at?” Scorpio cocked his head, his mouth partially open, “Do I have sumthin on my facsh?” He started to pat his face all over.

“No,” you shook your head, “It's just...maybe you should go lie down?”

Scorpio laughs at your suggestion and brushes it off, “I ish fine. Never felt better.” He started laughing uncontrollably and you felt embarrassed by how he was acting, “Oh gosh. He's lost it…”

Up until that moment you had been alone with him when suddenly another god entered the living room. Zyglavis, Scorpios boss.

Oh no. You definitely didn't want Zyglavis to see Scorpio like this but it was too late now.

“What is the meaning of this?” Zyglavis frowned when he saw Scorpio’s reddened face.

“Oh. Zig!” A broad grin spread across Scorpio’s face when he saw his minister. Scorpio got off the couch and wobbled over to him, “Zig. We should hang out soon. Punish hoomans together.” he said, laughing.

Zyglavis closed his eyes briefly before shooting Scorpio a stern look, “Why did you go and get yourself drunk? You are nothing but troubl- huh?” Scorpio had suddenly latched himself onto Zyglavis and was squeezing him.

“Zig. You ish so warm.” Scorpio sighed happily, looking content to rub his face against Zyglavis’ neck. Zyglavis on the other hand looked mortified and tried to shove Scorpio away, “Get off me.” He peeled Scorpio off of himself and created some distance before looking at you, “Would you get him under control?”

“Oh. Y-Yes.” You nodded and quickly stood up, “Scorpio. You really should go lie down.” You placed a hand on his shoulder but Scorpio still was only interested in Zyglavis.

“I'm fine!” Scorpio whined, “I just want to shpend some time with him,” He looked at Zyglavis with a pout, “But he only pushes me away.”

Zyglavis rolled his eye and sighed, “This is why I forbid you to drink. You always get so ‘clingy’.” Zyglavis didn’t look amused.

You immediately felt guilty. You were the one who brought the alcohol and only wanted to drink a little but Scorpio lacked self control and got carried away and now this was the result.

“I just want to be with you!” Scorpio whined some more and both you and Zyglavis sighed in unison.

Then Scorpio suddenly jumped on Zyglavis again. Zyglavis’ eyes went wide in shock before again looking disgusted with the way his vice-minister was acting, “That's enough!” A loud dry sound whipped through the air. Scorpio was sent stumbling backwards after having been slapped across the cheek by his minister.

“That hurt…” Scorpio began to tear up, rubbing his cheek.

You were in disbelief over what just happened. The last thing you expected was for Zyglavis to slap him and the way Scorpio kept smothering him this all seemed so surreal like you were watching some TV drama.

“I told you to stop. Go lie down this instant. Jump on me again and I won't hold back. I'll knock some sense back into you.” Zyglavis sighs in exasperation and rubs the bridge of his nose, “How tiresome.”

“Hmph. You ish no fun.” Scorpio complained, looking at the floor as he sulked.

Zyglavis did his best to keep calm. Watching his vice-minister minister act so foolish made him want to punch a wall. “I'm not here for your enjoyment. Scorpio. You are drunk. I warned you about this.” Zyglavis says in a low, persuasive tone, “Now go lie down and rest so you don't cause any more trouble. Now.” Zyglavis looked at him with a stern gaze just like he was scolding his own child.

Scorpio’s shoulders slumped and his lips quivered but he reluctantly nodded his head and with teary eyes retreated to his bedroom.

“You.” Zyglavis looked at you with a pointed gaze, “Watch over him until the alcohol wears off. Be sure he doesn't wander off or he may go jumping on the other gods.” And with that Zyglavis briskly walked out of the room.

You hurried to catch up to Scorpio and thankfully he did go to his bedroom but when you got inside Scorpio was still sulking and now decided he wanted to use you as his cuddly toy. Grabbing you forcefully and pulling you into the bed. Scorpio firmly wrapped his arms around you and didn't even let you move. He fell asleep just like that and you were forced to remain there until he woke up; so you decided with nothing else to do you fell asleep along with him.
