[accidental video] you're underage
Three people were seated at a small, round table in a cozy dining room. A bottle of scotch sat on it in the middle, two shot glasses next to it, both full. It was quiet and dark in the rest of the house, which was soon to be vacated once Henry got his affairs in order, but that one table was lit up brightly with a single light fixture. So, there you have it: Two Henry's (one looks only a little older, maybe by seven years or so), and one little Henry in his mid-teens. Let's say fourteen?
"I'm fifteen."
The teen pushed the shot glass away from him, scrunching up his nose a little. The expression only lasted a second before going back to its deadpan state. Present-Henry shrugged and downed the shot, setting the glass down delicately. Future-Henry seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself as well, though there was nothing going on in the room to indicate even a shred of a good time. Aside from the drink, that is.
"Maybe this is why we're no good in bars," Present-Henry said, pouring another shot for Future-Henry. "Our tolerance is shit, if you ask me. I blame him." Then he pointed at Teen-Henry with the bottle before setting it down with a loud thunk. The teen glowered a little, and the rest of the company laughed, recognizing the expression and knowing just exactly how he was feeling.
"I've done nothing," he replied curtly. "You can blame all you like. It won't change a thing."
"Don't be such a stick in the mud, lad," Future-Henry said, finishing off only half the shot. "We're only making a little fun."
"It's rather lame."
Present-Henry tried to stifle his laugh, but was unsuccessful. Then his future self joined in with the chortling, the drinks obviously getting to them. Teen-Henry rolled his eyes and let out an irritated grunt, then reached out for the half-full shot glass. Unfortunately for him, Present-Henry snatched it up before his teen self could, and waggled a finger at him.
"Nah-ah, sorry," he said, grinning widely. "You're still underage."
They both laughed again at Teen-Henry's look of utter contempt for them.
"You're both a couple of dicks, you know that? I can't believe I'm going to become you two."
