005. lasts

    The last time this happened (for both of them) ultimately didn't end well, and Mark, it turns out, has become so wary of relationships that the first time Roger tries to kiss him, he pushes him away. It's a good thing they're drunk, because they'll both be able to laugh it off in the morning. They can still ignore this even though everyone else has seen it coming for years.
    Roger isn't good at impulse control even when he's sober, and tends to make life-changing decisions at bad times.
    It's even worse when he's drinking. When he's been having a hard time, he becomes moody and belligerent. But on good days, he becomes even more honest and friendly than usual. Mark prefers him this way, naturally, and doesn't mean to piss him off by shoving him away. They're both a little shaken and embarrassed by the experience, so they drink more quickly, trying to forget, seeing which one of them passes out first.
    This time, it's Mark. Unfortunately, both of them retain their memories well, despite the alcohol. In the morning, they pretend to forget anyway, because it's easier that way, to deal with rejection (Roger) and confusion (Mark). Roger spends the rest of the day miserable, and Mark spends the rest of the day disoriented.
    Mark wants to get drunk again. Booze costs money, but he's still got some saved after working for Buzzline and from selling his film, and he's all too happy to blow it on this. He gets the cheapest vodka he can find at the liquor store, shit that burns going down, but Roger doesn't seem to be up for it tonight. He's lying on the couch when Mark walks through the door, his eyes not moving from the ceiling, no greeting offered at all.
    Maureen gave lots of kisses. She kissed him all the time, first friendly pecks on the cheek when she first moved into the loft, later dramatic fierce kisses, then less-dramatic going-out-the-door kisses, and finally not-so-friendly, I'm-cheating-on-you pecks on the cheek. After they broke up - after she dumped him - and after the initial awkwardness, it was back to friendly pecks on the cheek. He always needed more, even when she was sleeping with other people, even when it was clear she was getting sick of him.
    Funny how Roger couldn't even get one in and the effects have lasted this long.
    "Um. Roger?" He's breaking the unspoken rule here. Don't talk about it, because it'll go away eventually.
    "Yeah."
    "About last night, I -"
    "Don't worry about it. I was drunk, and I'm sorry."
    "I'm sorry, you know. It's just, uh, hard. Seeing how badly everyone else's relationships turned out and -"
    "I said don't worry about it."
    "You're pissed."
    "No." Yes. "It's okay."
    This was what he was afraid of. This was why he pushed Roger away. They were drunk, and stupid, and nothing good ever comes of that.
    He feels like an idiot, though, for taking Roger at face value the way he did. He should have persisted, but this is Roger when he's moody and belligerent. It's easy to get disconcerted. He closes his bedroom door and lets himself fall facefirst onto his bed.
    He didn't mean to fall asleep, but when Roger comes into his room he wakes up, suddenly, which is the worst way to wake up.
    "Hey," Roger says, not looking at him. "Sorry about earlier. I should have let you finish."
    Mark is still half-asleep, and trying to catch up, struggling to figure out what the hell Roger's talking about. Oh. That. Of course.
    "Oh, uh, I don't really remember anymore, not exactly what I was going to say. I mean, I didn't want to make you mad or, uh ..." He moves over to the edge of his bed, next to the wall, so Roger can sit down. He clears his throat. "You know. Hurt your feelings or anything."
    "Oh. I didn't mean to make you leave earlier, I just ..." And Roger looks so small and confused that Mark has to sit up and kiss him, really kiss him this time, neither of them shying away. Roger's shoulders go rigid at first, as Mark moves closer, putting his lips to his friend's. After a moment he feels Roger's hands on his face and in his hair, and he sighs.
    "Yeah," Roger says suddenly, and pauses. "This is what I meant to do earlier."

[A/N]: hey. i do hope you'll forgive me for interpreting this prompt in such a convoluted way. i just really, really didn't want to write anything in which roger dies.
