common sense • rini/jolivia one shots

drunk in love

Nini came into the apartment, arms full with different bags. she struggles to close the door behind her, using her foot to kick it closed. "babe? i'm home!" she calls out as she places her bags on the kitchen island.

Nini's rifling through her large tote bag when she sees Ricky coming down the short hallway. his tee shirt is wrinkled and his curls were all over the place, he'd been working all day.

Ricky slips his hands around his girlfriends waist, pressing a long kiss to her forehead, "how was your day?"

"good. the kids are excited about the upcoming concert so they're working really hard." Nini is an elementary school chorus teacher, she loved working with her students, "how about you? get anything more done?"

Ricky sighed and shrugged. he'd recently quit his full time job to become a producer, it was a struggle but it was what he loved and he was really good at it. he was in the middle of producing a new artists first album so he was working extra hard.

Nini pouted a little before nodding toward the brown bag on the counter, "well, i was feeling a little dangerous tonight and i pick us up some treats on my way home."

she watched as her boyfriend tentatively opened the brown bag, pulling the bottles out. "Neens, you wanna get drunk tonight? don't have to ask me twice."

Nini chuckled as Ricky sat at the island, slouching a little. she ran her hands over his shoulders, leaning against his back to press a kiss to his curls before leaving to their bedroom to change out of her work clothes.

she returned a few minutes later in a pair of her favorite leggings and one of Ricky's old East High shirts. she stepped into the kitchen, the hardwood cold under her bare feet. she watched for a moment as Ricky worked on the pasta he was making for dinner. her hand grazed his back as she walked past him to grab a wine glass for herself and an old fashioned glass for Ricky.

she poured her drinks quietly, uncorking the red wine and pouring herself a small glass and then opening the whisky for Ricky and pouring it in his glass. they sat down at the island to eat and talk about their days.

they had never realized until moments like these how domesticated they'd become. they were both nearing 27 and had been living together since graduating college. Nini absolutely loved her teaching job and was so supportive of Ricky when he decided he wanted a career change. they were very settled into these roles and this lifestyle now. they used to go out and party and get wildly and stupidly drunk, returning to their dorms in heated make out sessions. they'd grown up over the lat few years. they still liked to party and go out but they didn't do it as often. they used to talk about what parties they were going to and what they were gonna drink and how long they were gonna stay out but now as they got older, everything they talk out is their future; when they're gonna get married, when they're gonna start a family, when is the right time to finally buy that house they've been saving for.

Nini just wanted to relive that wild side again.

they finished their plates, Ricky taking them to the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen. Nini grabbed their glasses and the few bottles of the counter and moved to the open living room. Ricky fit himself into the couch next to her, his arm around her shoulders as they settled in for a movie. Nini had chosen some romantic comedy but the two talked over it as they sipped from their drinks.

Nini played with Ricky's fingers hanging over her shoulders, "you wanna play a drinking game? one of my co workers was telling me about this hilarious one she plays."

Ricky tore his eyes away from the tv, turning to look at his beautiful girlfriend, "you wanna play a drinking game? we haven't done that in years. what's this game you speak of."

Nini chuckled, "you're gonna think it's stupid but my friend plays this game where she randomly picks an episode of Glee and anytime Mr Shue does something even remotely creepy you have to take a drink. so anytime he says something weird or dances weird or sings an inappropriate song you have to drink."

Ricky couldn't help but laugh at the excited look on his girlfriends face. he agreed to the game, Nini excitedly opening her Netflix account and choosing an episode of their favorite show.

they were four episodes into the game and they were already drunk. they were lucky it was a friday night because Nini would definitely be too hungover to work the next morning. the couple laughed as they cheered their drinks as Mr Shue once again did something slightly inappropriate. Nini giggled helplessly as some of her wine dripped down her chin, Ricky wiping it away.

Ricky went to pour himself another glass before ditching the glass and bringing the bottle of whisky to his lips all together. Nini set her now empty glass down before making grabby hands at the bottle in Ricky's hands. he passed it to the small girl and laughed as she winced as the alcohol went down her throat.

"ah and that is why i don't drink whisky." she moved back to her wine bottle to get rid of the taste of the brown liquor.

Ricky set down the bottle, moving to pull Nini into his lap. he was a cuddly drunk, Nini loved it. he nuzzled his face into her hair, his breath hot on the back of her neck. she curled around to run her hand through his curls. he placed a sloppy kiss to her neck before moving to her lips.

they kissed for a while. Nini held his neck as she pulled away. Ricky pulled her back towards him, the clingy-ness starting to show. he whined when she didn't obey. Nini laughed at his pouty lips, "Neens, baby."

"you're drunk Ricky." she giggled as she passed her hands through his curls, she was a giggly drunk.

Ricky kisses her neck sloppily, "drunk on you."

Nini let out a snort, "real smooth there babe. you got some plans for tonight or something?"

he pulled his face out of her neck, his signature smirk present on his face, "well i wouldn't mind a little action tonight if i do say so myself. plus you're just as drunk as i am at this point so don't even start with me."

their words had begun to slur and their vision was becoming hazy. Nini decided to cut them off, knowing that they didn't hold their liquor as well as they used to. she pulled her boyfriend up off the couch after she turned the tv off.

"what're we doing?" Ricky asked sloppily as he stumbled behind his girlfriend, his hands on her waist.

Nini dragged him down the hall, "we're gonna have sex Ricky, now come on." she giggled as she pulled him by his hands into their room.

she giggled as he picked her up and threw her on their bed, her hands flying to his face as he hovered over her. she brought his lips down to hers in a passionate kiss. they battled for dominance for a few minutes, Ricky ultimately winning.

"damn," Nini said breathlessly when they pulled away, "i should get you drunk more often."

Ricky just flashed her his signature smirk before meeting her lips once more.
