Description: It's time for a celebration after a successful mission. Too bad Kurapika and Sephiroth didn't realize that there were alterior motives for having a drinking party.
The night after the successful mission to Florence, Kuroro had made the call. Surprisingly, Cloud had found himself eager to answer it, and he had made appropriate arrangements before convincing Sephiroth that it was a good way to spend an evening. The fact that he had brought alcohol and apparently Kuroro had already been shopping for some made it apparent that they might be setting something up. However, Cloud was very careful to nurse his drink and pouring some of his into Sephiroth's to keep the ex-General loosening up.
They were going for a hug here, and he was certain that his partner was going to have to be quite loose to willing do that. Of course, the company was nice too, and it had been a long time since the four of them had spent any time together off of the battlefield. So, he had made an order of pizza, sat down and enjoyed himself even while conspiring with Kuroro to get their partners drunk. Neither of them had to mention anything about it after all, not until final results were in at the end of the night.
Cloud took a sip from his third half-empty can of beer. Most of his alcohol had gone into Sephiroth's can when the ex-General wasn't looking. He glanced over at his partner and reached out to give the ex-General a playful shove to see how Sephiroth's balance was going. He was only a little buzzed, which was his plan to convince his partner into eventually (and hopefully) hugging Kuroro long enough for him to get a picture. It was like male bonding with a suspicious purpose.
Irregardless, he had fond memories of their last drinking night. "How's it going over there, Kurapika?" He glanced at Kuroro to check on the other meister as well.
