Description: The morning after Oktoberfest. Specifically, after
this thread.
[ He couldn't remember what he dreamed of. Maybe his sleep had been dreamless, as with almost all the sleep he had after he got home from drinking. But he was only half-drunk, unlike his partner, who chugged the entirety of one glass of beer and almost kissed him. It had been awkward, to put it mildly, but thankfully, she managed to stop herself from doing so and thus, avoided the catastrophy that could possibly ruined their partnership. And her marriage. Maybe her husband isn't here, but having an affair was still not an acceptable behaviour. Not that he doesn't like her. Well, he does, but not romantically. They're only friends and partners and anything beyond that was unthinkable. Possible but unlikely.
After that, she started babbling about fishes and gods, and he find that amusing. But then she fell asleep, and he had to carry her all the way home. He almost dropped her a couple of times along the way, not because she was heavy (on the contrary, she was pretty light), but because the alcohol inside his system has started to bug him in form of headaches. Being the responsible designated driver is not an easy task. When they finally reached their apartment, he immediately went to her room and dropped her as gently as possible to her bed, not minding to turn on the light. Then he peeled off her flip-flops, after that his own shoes, and finally crashed beside her.
Which is the reason why she would find him sleeping beside her in the morning, possibly with his arms draped around her. Or the other way around. And it seems like he's not going to wake up any time soon. He's a heavy-sleeper. ]
