Watanuki had chosen to leave the party at about the point keeping his dignity was in danger of becoming an issue. He fully intended to go back to his cabin and sleep off what he had consumed (he could admit to himself, if to no one else, that he was a lightweight); but this mission was halted by the sight of Ichigo, motionless in the corridor, staring confusedly into a broom closet.

Watanuki had to laugh. "Well, this is a weird time for you to start caring about cleaning!" he declared, perhaps louder than strictly necessary but clearly enough.

Oh, no. This was the worst possible person to catch him staring vacantly into a closet. ...well maybe not the worst. Joshua would have been pretty bad, too. But Watanuki was definitely in the top five.

He slammed the door shut and folded his arms indignantly. "It's not that," Ichigo said, and immediately realized his mistake. If it wasn't cleaning, he'd have to admit that he was lost. On a ship he'd been on for months.

Whoops.

"What? Did you leave something in there?" Watanuki moved closer, peering at Ichigo as if sure he were hiding something behind his back. "Don't think you can avoid telling me! I saw you!"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 01:55:01 UTC

"No, I didn't!" he replied, scowling at Watanuki. "Not that it's any of your business, but I had the wrong door. Is that enough of an explanation for you, you nosy bastard?"

flailingbento March 16 2011, 02:03:15 UTC

Watanuki had to laugh again, throwing his head back and all but cackling with delight at the indignity of it. "I didn't think even you would be that stupid!" he cried, pointing at Ichigo with unbridled delight. "Had too much at that party, did you?"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 02:13:57 UTC

"You shut up!" Ichigo shot right back. "I bet you're twice as drunk as I am. You're twice as bad as you usually are, so you must have had twice as much to drink." This made sense in Ichigo's mind, and he saw nothing wrong with the logic. But then a thought hit him. "Wait, no. Someone as skinny as you is probably a real lightweight. What did you have? One beer?"

flailingbento March 16 2011, 02:22:08 UTC

"I am not a lightweight!" Watanuki bristled visibly. "I had..." He thought for a moment. "I had-- I had more than you're thinking! I am perfectly in control of myself, thank you very much! You don't see me walking into broom closets!"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 02:26:39 UTC

"But you can't remember how much you had," he shot back, grinning in triumph. "Admit it. You're drunk."

flailingbento March 16 2011, 02:31:41 UTC

"It doesn't matter how much I had!" Watanuki snapped, his voice getting louder, waving an arm furiously but miraculously not overbalancing. "It doesn't matter because I am perfectly fine! In fact, I think I'm in much better condition than you! You-- you can't even talk about being drunk, stupid!"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 02:40:05 UTC

"What makes you think you're in better condition than I am? At least I'm not waving my arms around like I'm trying to signal someone on the other side of the continent. Oh wait, you do that all the time anyway. Be careful. You're so tipsy, if you try that again you'll probably fall over," advised Ichigo, obviously teasing. He was winning the argument and he could feel it.

flailingbento March 16 2011, 02:50:09 UTC

It was completely unfair that Ichigo could be as drunk as Watanuki had ever seen him and still manage to win this battle of wills. Watanuki scowled deeply, crossing his arms and giving Ichigo a slightly off-center glare. "At least I can find my own room!" he snapped accusingly. "I could just leave you here right now, you know! I know where my cabin is! I could leave you stranded to sleep in the broom closet! How would you like that, huh, you bastard?!" His voice was still rising in volume; clearly, he did not have as much control over it as he thought he did.

flight_15 March 16 2011, 03:02:16 UTC

"I wasn't gonna sleep in the broom closet," Ichigo griped. "And did I ask you to haul me back to my cabin? No. I'm pretty sure I didn't. So you can take your broom-closet charity and go back to your own goddamn room, because I'll find my cabin and I will do it without your help."

He folded his arms again in a very decisive manner.

"What do you have to say to that, huh?"

flailingbento March 16 2011, 03:25:17 UTC

It said a lot for his current state that this seemed like a fair argument to Watanuki.

"I wouldn't haul you back to your cabin if you asked!" he cried. "When was that ever a point!?" He took a step closer, the better to intensify the force of his glare. "I don't care if you spend all night wandering aimlessly around! For all I care, you can-- you can sleep out on the deck! Or in the crow's nest! Or under a table! It's your own fault for getting so drunk you lost your own room! I don't care!"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 03:32:13 UTC

"You implied it!" Ichigo shot right back. "When you said you could leave me here. That meant you weren't planning to! But I'll show you I don't need any of that." He pointed an angry finger at Watanuki. "I'll show you that a real man can find his own way back to his cabin no matter how drunk he is!"

And he would do it by himself. Alone. Without help. Even if it took all night. Because, though he had obviously drunk more alcohol than Watanuki, Ichigo was clearly much more sober and could definitely find his own way back.

flailingbento March 16 2011, 03:42:18 UTC

The look Watanuki gave Ichigo was, in a vague kind of way, utterly withering. "That makes absolutely no sense!" he declared. "How the hell is that supposed to prove anything? Were you planning to announce it to the network when you got back so I'll know you made it? If you show me you can make your way back alone, it doesn't count because I'd have to be with you to see it!"

He threw his arms in the air once more, because this would definitely help further his point. "See?! This just proves that you are drunk beyond even your normal level of stupidity!"

flight_15 March 16 2011, 03:47:15 UTC

"....oh." No, he wasn't planning on announcing it to the network. That would be stupid. He didn't need the ENTIRE ship knowing he'd somehow lost his way in the halls of the Convoy. Just Watanuki was bad enough. "I guess you have a point." The obvious solution -- to wait until morning, see where he woke up, and tell Watanuki that he had successfully made it back then -- did not come to mind. Instead...

"We could split up," Ichigo suggested. "Then I wouldn't be cheating by following you, but you'd still see that I'd found my way back."
